AMABILIA DOUBLE O-RING GEOTHERMAL FLOW CENTERS DORFC-2 - Manual (Page 10)

Manual 2100-518B
Page 10 of 30
The Flow Center features Double O-Ring fittings for
installation flexibility and ease of installation – maintaining
a reliable connection. Table 1 illustrates the connection
options available for Flow Centers. Pressure drop in
piping systems should be calculated to ensure adequate
flow through the unit. All piping should be properly
insulated with closed cell insulation of 1/2" wall thickness.
Piping insulation should be glued and sealed to prevent
condensation using closed cell insulation glue. The swivel
connectors on the flow center and at the unit are designed
to be hand-tightened only.
NOTE: Apply petroleum jelly to O-Rings to prevent
damage and aid in insertion.
Loop side piping is typically polyethylene piping directly into
the flow center. Connection to the flow center can be made
with either a fusion or barbed fitting as shown in Table 1.
Connection between the flow center and the geothermal
heat pump typically would be made using the hose kit
(DORLFCK-1), which contains all fittings necessary for
connection between the heat pump and the flow center as
shown in Figure 5. Other variety of materials may also be
used for this connection - such as PE or copper piping.
