E. CONNECTING NOZZLES
(1) All the supplied nozzles have two inlet ports with push in, quick release style
fittings as shown in Figure 6 Quick Release Fittings. These fittings are only
designed for use with 1/4” O.D. plastic tubing. If other than NORTEC supplied
tubing is to be used, it must be a high grade uniform tubing from a reputable
supplier.
(2) The NORTEC supplied fitting uses an o-ring to seal the O.D. of the tubing and
finger clamps to hold it in place. Failure to use proper size tubing may result in
poor sealing and cause system failure. The tubing MUST be cut square using a
knife or plastic tube cutter rather than pliers. To connect the tube to the nozzle
simply push the tubing into the nozzle fitting until it reaches the bottom. Gentle
pulling of the tube without movement is a good indication that a proper seal has
been made.
(3) Allow enough free tubing to permit the nozzle to swivel horizontally or vertically for
future pointing alignment.
F. SADDLE CLAMP INSTALLATION
(1) The type of clamp used by NORTEC, as shown in Figure 7 Saddle Clamp, requires
that the pipe be drilled first. Drill a 1/4” hole squarely into the air and water pipes
close to each nozzle within 24” (60 cm). Place the sealing gasket on the male part
of clamp, insert it into the drilled hole, then clamp it into place using the provided
screws. The saddle clamp has a 1/8” FNPT port; install either the supplied
compression fitting or another style fitting suitable for plastic tubing. Two saddle
clamps, one for air and one for water, are required for each nozzle.
NOTE
Not to be used with DI water.
For DI water use stainless steel tee.
