Assembling The Fittings And Pipes - Aqua-Base XD Série Manuel Utilisateur

4.5 – 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 membranes rinsing and cleaning operations
The pipe (N) will be placed preferably partly lower than the rinsing tank to assist the starting of the pump.
N.B : The cleaning pipe doesn't make of elbows / swan-neck, but he has to be the shortest possible so that the water can pass.
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
Cut the pipe square. To avoid
damage to the O-ring, make sure
burrs and sharp edges are removed.
Push the pipe into the fitting, to the
pipe stop. The collet has stainless
steel teeth which hold the pipe firmly
in position whilst the O-ring provides
a permanent leak proof seal.
