CAUTION
– When closing the tension ring, the flanged sealing ring
must not form a loop. In order to facilitate the closing
process, the tensioning screw at the joint can be
screwed back if necessary.
– Then the tensioning screw must be tightened to prevent
accidental unlocking of the joint (e.g. in case of vibra-
tions) and to increase the tightness.
– For explosion-proof connections up to 3 bar overpres-
sure a tightening torque of 10 Nm is required.
Note
It is advisable to completely disassemble the tension ring
first. However, it can also be mounted analogously to the
QUICK CONNECT© tension ring by completely loosening
one screw only.
