Installation instructions:

- Check carefully the paddle orientation: The arrow on housing must be exactly parallel to the pipe

- A 5mm minimum gap must be respected between end of the paddle and tube wall opposite to the 3/4” fitting.

- We recommend the use of nozzles of length less than or equal to 18mm between the gasket seat and the inside of the tube and with an inner diameter greater than or equal to 20mm, to avoid blocking of the paddle.

Accessories:1/2” female PVC saddles forDN40 to DN100 (OD) PVC pipes, and other fittings: see last section of this catalogue
