3. Installation
Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information
Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation:
3.1
Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum
operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted,
ensure that a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.
3.2
Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.
3.3
Remove protective covers from all connections.
3.4
The automatic air eliminator / air vent should be installed vertically with the inlet at the bottom.
We recommended that a drip pipe be fitted discharging to a safe place. To enable this to
be done the outlet is provided with a ¼" BSP or NPT male thread. See Fig. 2 for a typical
application.
