20-60 °C (68-140 °F) 20-60 °C (68-140 °F) For applications outside the listed temperature ranges, please contact the technical customer service of AS Strömungstechnik. The chemical resistance of plastics and elastomers can deteriorate due to heat at temperatures higher than room temperature.
Contamination and build-up can restrict the functionality of the entire system and lead to premature wear of o-rings and seals and thus to leaks. Dust de- posits must be avoided in EX areas in particular, as there is an increased risk of ignition.

Assembly / commissioning Slowly open the dip tube closure (2) with the bung wrench (3) in case the contents are under pressure. (See Section 3.1) If the container is under pressure when opened, it is drained via the » ventilation holes in the dip tube. You may hear a hissing sound. In this case, do not open the dip tube closure any further, but wait until no more hissing can be heard.

Demontage Push the anti-rotation clip (1) upwards. Slowly unscrew the fill head via the tightening nut. If the container is under any pressure or vacuum when opened, it is drained » via the ventilation hole in the dip tube. You may hear a hissing sound. In this case, do not continue unscrewing the fill head, wait until no more hissing can be heard and then finish unscrewing.

Demontage 10. Check that the o-ring on the dip tube closure is present and undamaged. S-Typ / V-Typ T-Typ / W-Typ 11. Place the dip tube closure on the dip tube opening. 12. Close the container by screwing on the dip tube closure (2) hand-tight using the bung wrench (3) (see Section 3.1).
Maintenance / disposal 9.1 Cleaning the fill head • After disassembly, the liquid channel of the fill head must be flushed with ultra pure water or a suitable flushing medium. • In the case of hardening, adhesive and clumping chemicals, we recommend flushing the entire delivery line with ultra pure water or a suitable flushing medium after each use.
» there will be no credit provided or repair. A disposal cost will be applied. It is important to fill out the form for the safety of our personnel as well as the safety of logistic providers. 9.4 Fill head disposal...
