•
Tubes are not to be clamped to one another but to suitable fixed points. Plate brackets, cable
connections and fixing elements are not suitable. Tubes are not mountings on which to
integrate other components e.g. filters, ventilators or shutoff valves.
•
Under- and over tightening of fittings during assembly reduces the capacity for withstanding
pressure and vibration loads and therefore reduces the life of the tube fitting. Leaks from the
tube can occur under these circumstances.
•
When dismantling/transporting and re-assembling, make sure that no dirt enters the system,
that the connection elements (threads, sealing surfaces) are not damaged, seals are not lost
and tubes are not bent or flattened. We recommend the use of suitable protective caps.
•
Prevent oscillation, pressure surges and inherent strain by using flexible hoses for example.
•
Disassembled fittings are to be checked for accuracy and damage and replaced if necessary.
•
Do not use hand cutters or tube cutters.
•
Impurities and splinters can lead to disruptions in the system and leaks.
•
The operating parameters given (e.g. pressure, temperature, medium compatibility) are to be
adhered to.
•
Avoid flow rates > 8 m/s. The resulting forces are high and can destroy the tube lines.
•
Relevant guidelines (e.g. CE, ISO, BG, TÜV, DIN) are to be observed.
•
Weld fittings are manufactured out of weld able materials. No other fittings are suitable for
welding.
•
EO Niromont is a high-performance lubricant. The use of other lubricants generally leads to an
increase in assembly force.
•
The tools and lubricants recommended by EO guarantee safe assembly.
•
If tools and assembly equipment of other manufacturers are used, the function and assembly
results have to be checked.
•
Fittings are to be handled with care.
