4.5 Notes on the run of the tubes
- Use a suitable cutting device (e. g. accessory AF-Z-90) guaranteeing a straight and kink-
free cut when cutting the tubes.
- The tubes may not be kinked or damaged (longitudinal grooves).
- Make sure that the tubes are not kinked and that a minimum bending radius of 40 mm
(1.57 inches) is maintained.
- Do not pass the tubes near warm or even hot components (max. admissible ambient
temperature 35°C, 95°F).
- Avoid exposure of the tube to direct sunlight.
- In order to protect them against damage and to prevent them from sagging, the tubes have to
be run between the individual components inside a protective tube, if possible.
- Upon installation, check:
o Whether all tubes sit tight. It is not possible to pull out correctly mounted tubes without
exercising pressure on the clamping ring.
o The water and compressed air systems for tightness.
- It is recommended to install the network of tubes in the form of a star, if possible. When the distance
between the air supply and the water supply is too large, malfunctions or even problems regarding
hygiene may occur. Always call the NORTEC customer service in case of doubt (+1 613 822 0335).
- An empirical formula for the dimensioning of the network: The last atomiser of a series may be at a
distance of max. 70 metres (230 ft) from the air supply and/or the water supply .
