Hydraulic connections

Pipeline diameter
The choice and sizing of the hydraulic lines must be made
by an expert who must operate according to the rules of
good practice and the laws in force, taking into account
that undersized pipes cause a malfunction.
To make the connections:
- position the hydraulic lines
- tighten the connections using the "spanner and
counter spanner" method
- check for any leaks of liquid
- coat the connections with insulating material.

Condensation discharge

The condensation discharge network must be suitably
sized (minimum inside pipe diameter 16 mm) and the
pipeline positioned so that it keeps a constant inclination,
never less than 1%. In the vertical installation, the
discharge pipe is connected directly to the discharge tray,
positioned at the bottom of the side shoulder underneath
the hydraulic fixtures.
- If possible, make the condensation liquid flow directly
in a gutter or a "rainwater" discharge.
- When discharging directly into the main drains, it is
advisable to make a siphon to prevent bad smells
returning up the pipe towards the room. The curve
of the siphon must be lower than the condensation
collection bowl.
- If the condensation needs to be discharged into a
container, it must be open to the atmosphere and

tray and fixing it adequately. Check that the extension drip

The hydraulic lines and joints must be thermally insulated.
Avoid partially insulating the pipes.
Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the insulation.
Use hemp and green paste or similar to seal the threaded
connections; the use of Teflon is advised when there is
anti-freeze in the hydraulic circuit.
the tube must not be immersed in water to avoid
problems of adhesiveness and counter-pressure that
would interfere with the normal outflow.
- If there is a height difference that could interfere with
the outflow of the condensation, a pump must be
mounted:
- in a vertical installation mount the pump under the
lateral drainage tray;
Such pumps are commonly found in the market place.
However, on completion of the installation it is advisable
to check the correct outflow of the condensation liquid by
slowly pouring about ½ l of water into the collection tray
over 5-10 minutes approximately.
