Installation instruction Carat
Installation Procedure
Measure the distance between the suspension points and mount the chosen fixing to the roof. Put adjustable hangers
or threaded rod through the pre-drilled holes in the aluminium suspension bars / suspension brackets. Lift up the prod-
uct using the hangers and attach the hangers/rods to the soffit fixing. DO NOT lift the chilled beam from any position
other than the aluminium suspension bars or attached hangers.
Adjust the beams vertical position according to the diagram on page 4. If necessary shorten the hangers/rods to appro-
priate lengths.
Hangers / rods should be secured to ensure that they do not come loose from either the soffit fixing or the chilled beam.
Hangers should be secured by bending over the hanger end loops at either end, threaded rods by using 4 nuts for each
rod - above and below the soffit fixing and again above and below the aluminium bar / bracket. Don’t forget to tighten
your nuts.
It is important to remember to fit the copper support sleeves into the water connection pipes before connecting the
compression, press-fit or push-fit couplings.
NOTE! DO NOT SOLDER!
Ensure that allowance is made for possible
expansion / contraction of the mains water pipework (using expansion loops or bellows).
Where plastic connections or flexible hoses are used, it is important to ensure that these products are designed to be
resistant to oxygen penetration.
Ensure that the distribution pipework is flushed and cleaned in isolation of the chilled beam. Do not remove protective
pipe caps until just before connection to the flushed distribution pipework.
Handling
NEVER
handle the product from the extreme edges or from the pipe tails
ALWAYS
handle the product from either the suspension bar, the pipe mani-
fold or the bottom of the ‘A’ profile. Take care not to damage cooling fins or
pipe tails.
