Connecting the equipment
The equipment can be connected in any installation
position. Installation with a horizontal direction of
flow and the adjuster hanging down ensures
optimum function.
To ensure perfect function, make sure the following
conditions are complied with:

Install the equipment in the cooling-water return
as close as possible to the heat exchanger.

Install the equipment in a water pocket.

If the medium is dirty or contains foreign bodies,
install a dirt trap upstream of the equipment.

If there are chalk deposits, use a water softener.

If the equipment is being used as an end valve,
make sure that it cannot run empty. Otherwise,
drying out or deposits are possible.

If there is a risk of freezing, install a drainage
valve in the water pocket.
DANGER
Incorrectly connected equipment can
cause fatal accidents or severe injuries.

Make sure that only qualified skilled
personnel connect the equipment to
pipes.
 Make sure that the flow arrow on the
equipment body matches the direction
of flow in the pipe.
Specialist personnel must be highly qualified and
fully experienced in making pipe connections for the
respective type of end connection.

it may cause bruises and injuries.
 To transport and mount the equipment
safely use suitable lifting gear.

equipment during transport and
installation.

Wear protective safety footwear.
Lightweight equipment may be transported and
mounted without using any lifting gear.
To lift equipment the weight of which exceeds
approx. 25 kg, you need the help of a second
person or suitable lifting gear.
Your physical strength and on-site regulations and
conditions determine what weight can be lifted and
if support is required.
Attention!
Equipment will be damaged if the end
connections are undersized.

Make sure that the connections are
strong and rigid enough to support the
weight of the equipment and to
withstand the forces that occur during
operation.
Consider space required for servicing the
equipment and/or exchanging components and
observe the necessary withdrawal distance to
remove the cover. For more information on the
required withdrawal distances see section
