2. TOOLS ANd FixTURES
2.1. The tools required to install even a small system are: one Allen wrench for 4 and 5 mm slots; one deburring
tool or one scraper; neutral grease; one drill and one drilling machine; one manual hacksaw; some small tubes for
placing the small plates; one tape measure.
2.2. The tools suggested for fast and safe work are: one pair of adjustable pliers, one battery screwdriver; one
drilling jig; one chop saw with a metal circular blade; one stepped cone cutter or cone cutter; one PTFE tape or
sealing band; one torque wrench; one level or one plumb line; one bench on wheels; one tube bender.
2.3. Close attention should be paid to safety. To this purpose, scaffolding, helmets, harnesses, gloves and protective
glasses must be used by all personnel.
2.4.
WARNING: follow the regulations concerning safety at work presently in force in
your country.
3. PREPARATiON
3.1. Cutting: this can be done by hand, using a hacksaw provided that the blade has been lubricated with vaseline
or other oils, as aluminum is a material which could clog the tool. When making many cuts, we suggest using a
circular chop saw with metal cutting blade.
3.2. deburring: after cutting, deburr the inner hole by means of a deburring tool in order not to damage the OR
gasket.
3.3. Lubrication: in order to make it easier to insert joint, lubricate the inner surface of the hollow bar, in order
to avoid any damage to the OR.
3.4. drilling: in this operation, it is important that the hole is drilled in the middle of the bar's flat surface, the
drilling jig may be helpful. The hole and deburred edge maximum overall diameter must not be greater than the
value indicated in the table. The following tools can be used: a drill, a coned drill, a counterbore, a hollow mill.
3.5. Hole deburring: on outlet plates we recommend deburring a maximum 1mm around the hole in order not
to damage the OR gasket.
3.6.
WARNING: Wear protective glasses and gloves during cutting and drilling. Flying
chips could cause injury to eyes and hands.
4. MOUNTiNG ALL FiTTiNGS
4.1. insertion of small plates: the small plates can be inserted into the slot in the bar at any point. Straighten
and secure them by means of sharpened small tubes.
4.2. Joint insertion: to make it easier, first insert the plates and the small plates with loose screws into the slots,
then insert the joint and connect the second bar. Now position the plates half-way on each side and tighten the
screws.
4.3. How to tighten the screws: Be careful. The screws must be tightened but be careful not to tear the thread.
The torque of the M6 screws should be between a minimum of 10 N·m (91 Inch-Lbs) and a maximum of 13.5 N·m
(120 Inch-Lbs).
4.4. "L" and "T" joints: they are secured by means of special L-brackets, so the hollow bars can be connected
