1. General information
1.1 Introduction
• These instructions apply to series 3T barb connectors,
also referred to below as connectors.
• Read the instructions completely before using our
products to prevent injuries, material damage and
malfunctions!
• Save the instructions for later reference.
• All rights including copyright and industrial property
rights are explicitly reserved.
1.2 Warnings
• Warnings are always identifi ed by a signal word. The
following signal words or hazard levels are used:
Danger:
Failure to follow instructions will
lead to serious injuries or death. High risk le-
vel of endangerment.
Warning:
Failure to follow instructions may
lead to serious injuries or death. Moderate
risk level of endangerment.
Caution:
May lead to slight or moderate inju-
ries. Low risk level of endangerment.
Note:
Refers to an instruction that must ab-
solutely be followed.
Information:
Gives useful tips and recom-
mendations..
1.3 Special Hazards
• It must be ensured that the connector is resistant for
the media and temperatures that will be used. The re-
sistance of the connector with aggressive media de-
pends in individual cases on many variables (such as
the temperature, concentration ratio of the medium,
material, environment, tube material etc.). The person
ordering the connector is responsible for checking for
the specifi c application. In case of doubt install the con-
nector on a trial basis.
• Always comply with the safety data sheets or the safety
requirements for the media you are using!
• Before removing the connector it must be ensured that
there is no more medium in the fl exible tube system
and the pressure has completely dissipated. Exercise
caution for toxic, corrosive or hot media residue fl owing
out of the line or remaining in dead spaces.
1.4 General Safety Instructions
• The connector must be properly connected to the
fl exible tube system.
• Before installing the connector make certain that
external mechanical eff ects such as thrust and bending
forces are not acting on the fl exible tube system.
• Installation, commissioning, operation, installation,
maintenance, troubleshooting and disassembly must
only be performed by qualifi ed specialists with due con-
sideration of accident prevention regulations. Person-
nel must be capable based on their technical training
and experience of performing assembly tasks, follo-
wing technical specifi cations and recognizing possible
dangers.
• Personnel with defi cient knowledge must be trained
and instructed.
• Areas of responsibility and responsibilities must be pre-
cisely regulated and personnel must be monitored.
These safety instructions do not take into consideration
any:
• Coincidences and events that could occur at the cus-
tomer location during assembly, operation and mainte-
nance.
• Local safety requirements, for which the operating
company is responsible to ensure compliance, inclu-
ding assembly personnel who are used.
1.5 Designated Use
• The connector must only be operated within the permit-
ted usage ranges for pressure and temperature.
• Only the operating media named in the documentation
are permitted to fl ow through the connector.
• The connector must only be operated if it is in fl awless
technical condition.
• The connector must not be operated if it is in partially
assembled condition.
• If other operating modes are not named in the docu-
mentation, they must be approved with the manufac-
turer.
1.6 Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse
• Any usage other than designated use.
• Do not make any modifi cations to the product by your-
self!
• Components should only be retrofi tted after consulta-
tion with the manufacturer.
