Vapour discharge
It is recommended that you use connection pipes/hoses made of neoprene, special
rubber for vacuums or reinforced PVC. Other admissible materials include copper or
rilsan as long as suitable fittings are used. Minimum hose/pipe diameter is 10 mm.
It is advisable to keep hoses/pipes as short and as straight as possible.
If you are using rigid pipes make sure you do not force the pump coupling.
The SATOVAC pump can operate without discharge fittings.
It is nevertheless possible to convey discharge vapours via hoses/pipes with a diameter of at least 20
mm which do not in impede discharge into the atmosphere.
Do not obstruct or close the bleed valve (8) on the pump, as dangerously high
pressures could form insider the casing.
