NOTICE
In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen diffusion tight according to
DIN 4726. The diffusion of oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.
▪
Connecting piping - Legislation. Make all piping connections in accordance with
the applicable legislation and the instructions in the "Installation" chapter,
respecting the water inlet and outlet.
▪
Connecting piping - Force. Do NOT use excessive force when connecting the
piping. Deformation of the piping can cause malfunctioning of the unit.
▪
Connecting piping - Tools. Only use appropriate tooling to handle brass, which is
a soft material. If NOT, pipes will get damaged.
▪
Connecting piping - Air, moisture, dust. If air, moisture or dust gets into the
circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:
-
ONLY use clean pipes.
-
Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.
-
Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent dust and/or
particles from entering the pipe.
-
Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.
-
When using non-brass metallic piping, make sure to insulate both materials
from each other to prevent galvanic corrosion.
-
Because brass is a soft material, use appropriate tooling for connecting the
water circuit. Inappropriate tooling will cause damage to the pipes.
▪
Freeze. Protect against freezing.
▪
Closed circuit. Use the indoor unit ONLY in a closed water system. Using the
system in an open water system will lead to excessive corrosion.
