All piping expands when heated. In shorter runs, the movement of the risers
in their holes will take care of expansion. But on longer runs, it’s wise to
install an expansion compensator to prevent strains at the joints and buckling
of the elements. Install a Hydro/Tite at the center of a long run.
FLOW DIRECTION must be as shown, to
keep sludge from clogging the seals inside
the Hydro/Tite.
DON’T LOOSEN or tighten the knurled
collar. Proper adjustment (set at factory)
is hand-tight only.
PULL OPEN until red line just shows under
the knurled collar. Install in this extended
position.
KEEP HEAT AWAY from the knurled collar
and the coupling body, to avoid damage.
Use soft solder only.
Provide for
expansion with
HYDRO/TITE
expansion couplings
on long straight runs.
