Procedure for Securing Telescoping Poles to REF and DIR 2 Element Housings
Procedure for Securing Telescoping Poles to DIR 1 Element Housing
To secure the telescoping poles to the Element Housing Unit, first slide a rubber boot over the
base section of the telescoping pole. Refer tp
Figure 19
for assembly.
Before attaching the 30m/40m sweep element make sure the label that says “THIS WAY
UP”, on the sweep will be skyward when the element is mounted. Failure to do this
puts the drain holes up and water will collect in the element.
Slide the CPVC and Diverter Cone assembly inside the telescoping pole as shown in
Figure 19
Inser the assembly far enough that the flange of the Diverter Cone is flush with the base of
the telescoping pole.
There is no inner liner for the return side of the 30m/40m loop.
Slide the Telescoping Pole with Diverter Cone assembly inside the EST of the Element hous-
ing until it bottoms out. Procedure will be the same for both REF and DIR 2.
Slide the rubber boot over the metal ring on the EST of the element housing. Make sure the
large hose clamp on the rubber boot slides over the metal ring on the EST of the Element
housing.
The smaller hose clamp of the rubber boot should be outside of the black raised ring on the
telescoping pole. This prevents the pole from ever unintentionally coming off.
Once the rubber boot is in the correct location tighten both hose clamps. Due to cold flow of
the rubber you should retighten the hose clamps after 30 minutes.
Repeat the same process for all the telescoping poles of the REF and DIR 2.
To secure the telescoping poles to the Element Housing Unit, first slide a rubber boot over the
base section of the telescoping pole. Use
Figure 19
for assembly.
there is no Inner Support tuber on this element.
Slide the Telescoping Pole inside the EST of the Element housing. Make sure the pole goes
all the way in until it hits the stop in the EHU.
Slide the rubber boot over the metal ring on the EST of the element housing. Make sure the large hose
clamp on the rubber boot slides over the metal ring on the EST of the Element housing.
The smaller hose clamp of the rubber boot should be outside of the black raised ring on the
telescoping pole. This prevents the pole from ever unintentionally coming off.
Once the rubber boot is in the correct location tighten both hose clamps. Due to cold flow of
the rubber you should retighten the hose clamps after 30 minutes.
Repeat the same process for the other telescoping pole.
