Assembling The Fittings And Pipes - Aqua-Base YK Serie Manual De Utilización

4.4 – ASSEMBLING THE FITTINGS AND PIPES
Assembling the fittings.
The unit must be installed using the special pipes supplied within the watermaker.
The fittings must be absolutely clean. Clean the fitting and its housing beforehand by removing any remaining
scraps of Teflon.
Wind Teflon round the fitting thread, turning clockwise.
Place the fitting in its housing and tighten by hand.
Ensure tightening with a slight turn of a spanner.
Assembling of pipes.
The necessary pipes are supplied in rolls, to be cut to the right length depending on needs. The cut, using a cutter; should be clean, without
mistakes and perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.
The produced water pipe (K) is connected to the upper part of the tank and should not touch the water.
Don't put a valve on this production pipe (because there is no rise in pressure); if a valve is installed on this tank, then it must be
always open (water must be able to pass freely into the tank).
Do not immerse the piping into the tank to avoid an effect of "siphon"
in the stopping of the watermaker.
The rinsing (N) and cleaning (M) pipes are long enough to be immersed simultaneously in an auxiliary
bucket placed on the ground (10 liters), during membrane rinsing and cleaning operations.
The pipe (N) will be placed preferably partly lower than the rinsing tank to assist the starting of the pump.
To assemble a pipe on its fitting, proceed as shown on the figure :
1 - Place the hose clamp, without tightening, then place the pipe on the fitting,
2 - Slide the hose clamp to the fitting level and tighten it,
3 - To dismantle the pipe, slide the clamp with the help of a screwdriver, then free the fitting tube.
