IK6 SYSTEMSURE INJECTOR / SPRAYER
The SYSTEMSURE IK6 injector enables corrosion
inhibitors, flushing chemicals, and boiler noise
suppressants to be injected directly into the main flow of
heating systems.
It is used to inject liquid chemicals through the air bleed
screw of just one radiator, with no need to drain off any
water, or even to locate the feed and expansion tank.
With no need to enter the loft space, the whole process
can be carried out in less than five minutes.
The SYSTEMSURE IK6 injector is equally as effective when
injecting chemicals into sealed
systems, removing the need to
re-pressurize a system after
injection of chemicals.
It is supplied complete with
two special nickel-plated steel air bleed valve adapters
for the most common radiator
bleed valve sizes.
An additional adapter allows
connection to the filling loop
on combination boilers.
The IK6 has a 4 litre capacity
tank, enabling it to be used to
add chemicals to even the largest domestic systems in
one operation.

Spray applications
The Systemsure IK6 may also be used for spray
application of chemicals. It is constructed of
thermoplastic materials suited for use with a wide range
of industrial chemicals, including acids, and may be used
for cleaning, disinfecting and degreasing.
The IK6 sprayer/injector includes an adjustable nozzle, a
spray lance incorporating easy action on / off valve and
integral filter. The see-through tank has a visible filling
level scale, an external safety valve with red over-
pressure indicator, and clip for the lance.
Operating Instructions
To inject chemicals into central heating systems
through the radiator air bleed valve:
Ensure that the heating system is switched off, and that
the circulator pump is not still running. Assemble the IK6
unit with the two supplied flexible hoses connected each
end of the combined handle and on / off valve.
Unscrew the pump unit from the top of the tank, add to
the tank the liquid to be injected, and screw the pump
unit firmly back onto the tank.
Select the Systemsure air bleed screw adapter suited to
the radiator into which chemical is to be injected.
Close both radiator valves on the selected radiator.
Unscrew the air bleed nipple, taking care to catch any
liquid with an absorbent cloth. Screw in the chosen air
bleed screw adapter, using PTFE tape if necessary to
obtain seal. Fasten the end of the flexible tube onto the
adapter, and reopen the radiator valves.
Pressurise the unit by pumping the handle 20 times.
When the red indicator on the safety valve appears, stop
pumping, Air will be expelled through the valve, and no
more pressure will be raised within the tank.
Squeeze the metal handle on the injector lance, and hold
until contents of tank have been injected into radiator.
Release handle, and pull out external safety valve until
pressurised air in IK6 is released. Close radiator valves.
Unscrew air bleed screw adapter, replace radiator bleed
screw, and reopen radiator valves.
The normal circulation of the heating system will now
distribute the chemical throughout the system.
