6 Installation
The pipework has to be flushed thoroughly before
installing the fitting.
6.1 Installation of the fitting
The fitting should be installed so that the thermostat
is in a horizontal position and a constant flow of
ambient air around the thermostat is guaranteed.

PRECAUTION
– Do not use any lubricant or oil when installing
the fitting as these may destroy the seals. If
necessary, all dirt particles and lubricant or oil
residues must be removed from the pipework
by flushing the latter.
– When choosing the operating fluid, the latest
technical development has to be considered
(e.g. VDI 2035).
– Please protect against external forces (e.g.
impacts, vibrations etc.).
