Product information Differenzdruck variabel Δp-v (I, II, III) Recommended for two-pipe heating installations with radiators to reduce flow noises at the thermostat valves. Constant differential pressure Δp-c (I, II, III) Recommendation for underfloor heating or large-dimensioned pipelines or all applications without changeable pipeline characteristic lines (e.g. storage loading pumps), as well as single-pipe heating installations with radiators.

Handling Assembly 3.2.1 Wall mounting NOTICE! The small surface control station is not suitable for use in splash water zones. ▶ Install the small surface control station flush in a wall cut-out or a pre-wall. 3.2.2 Connecting pipes ▶ Use a pipe shear (model 5341) to cut the pipe to length at right angles.
