Proximal connection
INFORMATION
To ensure an optimum sealed connection to the socket, the following
approach is recommended:
► Drill the distal socket bore with a 6 mm bit.
► Apply PU adhesive inside the bore and insert the included hose piece
(see fig. 2).
► Remove excess adhesive and allow the adhesive to set.
► Trim the hose piece flush on both ends.
> Required tools and materials:
710D4 torque wrench, 501Z61=M12x1.5 locking screw, 4X282 TPU
insert (thin) for 5R2 or 4X279 TPU insert (thick) for TEC plate, 4X304 PE
solid rod (PE sinter filter)
1) Screw the locking screw into the lateral connector of the adapter plate
and tighten (mounting torque: 3 Nm) (see fig. 3).
2) Press the PE sinter filter into the TPU insert to the stop (see fig. 4).
3) Slide the TPU insert with the PE sinter filter into the connector on the
