• The arrow, shown on the body (6) of the device, needs to be pointing towards the application;
• Insert the relative washers inside the bolts in order to prevent damage to the flanges during tightening;
• When tightening, be careful not to "pinch" or damage the gasket;
• Tighten the nuts or bolts gradually, in a "cross" order (see the example below);
• Tighten them, first by 30%, then by 60%, and finally 100% of the maximum torque (see the table below according to EN 13611);
• Tighten each nut and bolt again clockwise at least once, until the maximum torque has been achieved uniformly;
• Common procedures (threaded and flanged devices):
• The device can also be installed vertically without prejudicing correct operation. It cannot be put in upside down
(with its reset handgrip in downward position);
• During installation, avoid debris or metal residues from getting into the device;
• To guarantee mechanical tension-free assembly, we recommend using compensating joints, which also
adjust to the pipe's thermal expansion;
• If the device is to be installed in a ramp, it is the installer's responsibility to provide suitable supports or correctly sized
supports, to properly hold and secure the assembly. Never, for any reason whatsoever, leave the weight of the ramp only on
the connections (threaded or flanged) of the individual devices;
• In any case, following installation, check the tightness of the plant;
