CEILING INSTALLATION WITH PARALLEL PIPES AND COMBINED END PIECE Installation "against the wall" (crossed by inlet and exhaust pipes) Before installing, make sure the diameters, the total lengths and the end pieces of the pipes and their overall flow resistances do not exceed the prescribed limits as indicated in the chapter on Pipe lengths and Pressure loss. Fitting the guide arms and template: Choose where to position the convector on the ceiling, fit the guide arms, according to the following procedure: - using the 4 screws provided, fasten the tie-rods (3), aligning the guide arms (); - mark the 6 holes for fastening the guide arms (). Drill the holes using a Ø 9 mm bit if the provided anchors are used. This diameter will be different if other anchors, considered more suitable, are used. Always remember that the working width of the slot is Ø 9 mm; - fasten the guide arms + tie rod structure (+3) to the ceiling so the two arms fasten onto the wall (important: the tie-rods must be fitted in both the ceiling solution and the bracket solution); - Move the metal template (5) close to the arm () (the right one), marking the centre of the inlet and exhaust pipe outlet holes and the template fastening holes. Alongside hole B, make the centring hole using an Ø 8 mm bit, fasten the template (5), using Ø 8 mm anchors positioned at holes B and D. Once centring has been made, disconnect the half-cut disc from the hole on the template (5). Make a hole using a suitable milling unit or by making a series of small holes in the circumference. IMPORTANT! Detach only the central Ø 65 mm disc for pipes diameter Ø 3 mm and ring Ø 0 mm for pipes diameter Ø 54 mm. Proceed to drill the wall taking into account the details shown on the Table.

Installation "away" from the wall (crossed by air inlet and fume exhaust pipes) Installation is practically the same as that "against the wall". The only difference is that the template (5) has to be positioned without the reference of the guide arm (). It is best therefore to install the guide arms, position the convector and then fit the template on the wall. Fit the pipes according to lengths and layout and join these to the union on the convector and template. Adapting the outlet union to the pipe diameter Questa operazione si rende necessaria solo sui Termoconvettori 40-60, qualora si passi, dove è consentito, dalle tubazioni Ø 3 mm a quelle Ø 54 mm e viceversa. The appliance is always supplied by the Manufacturer ready to use the Ø 3 mm pipes. This operation must be performed before fitting the convector on the guide arms. Proceed as follows: - loosen the screws () of the outlet union (); - remove the inlet/exhaust pipes; - fit the diaphragms (3)(for Ø 3 mm); - fit the pipes back on (be careful to correctly fit the two "round-offs"). - fit the outlet union back on (). Assembly must be made as shown in the illustration. Ø 3 Ø 54 3 Fitting parallel "air inlet/fume exhaust" pipes This solution has been conceived to make air inlet/exhaust directly behind the appliance or away from the appliance using parallel pipes; for max diameters and lengths, see the above Table. Adapt the length of the pipes provided to the actual thickness of the wall Thick. + X mm, cutting off any excess part. Complete the missing section with the pipes necessary for "away" installation, remembering to fasten and insulate these when necessary. Min 50 L = Sp + x x Ø 65 Ø 0 Sp 8
The pipes must always be cut perpendicular to the axis of the pipe itself, being very careful not to deform the pipes; after cutting, carefully remove any remaining burrs. Ø 65 Ø 3 mm Ø 0 Ø 0 Ø 54 mm Ø 60 a a a b b On the pipes featuring seals, the O-rings must not protrude from their seats. For easier fitting, use silicone or soapy grease. Select the type of combined end-piece fitting: if fitted from inside together with the pipes (a, b, small flange) or that fitted from the outside (a, b, large flange). Fitting pipes with combined end piece fastened from inside Fit the combined end piece () on the pipes after cutting them in the required lengths and fastening them using the screws provided (). Make sure the fume exhaust hole of the end piece (a) is positioned high up. Ø 65 Ø 0 4 3 If not already done, detach the half-cut disc from the hole on the template and then fit the pipe assembly in the wall, positioning it so the small flange of the combined end piece is flush with the outer wall. Secure the pipes with mortar so they cannot turn, being careful not to dirty them inside. To cover the drilling imperfections on the wall, if the outer end piece is easy to reach, we suggest using a plastic rosette (3) (4) which can be fastened with silicone or other adhesives for plastic materials. 9
Fitting parallel pipes with combined end piece fastened from outside Fit the pipe assembly without end piece in the wall, positioning it so the pipes are flush with the outer wall and perfectly vertical. Fit the outer end piece on the pipes, making sure the fume exhaust hole (a, fig. on previous page) of the end piece is positioned high up; now proceed to fasten the combined end piece () using the four Ø 6 mm anchors provided (). Make sure the end-piece pipes fit on correctly to ensure the seal of the O-rings on the pipes featuring seals. Min 50 Ø 65 Ø 0 a "BRACKET" INSTALLATION WITH PARALLEL PIPES AND COMBINED END PIECE Before making any installation, carefully read the Table on page 8 to make sure the diameters, the total lengths and the end pieces of the pipes and their overall flow resistances do not exceed those prescribed! When the convector cannot be fitted directly on the ceiling, two brackets are available to be assembled together with the guide arms + arm tie-rods, to make a supporting bracket. For correct bracket installation, proceed as follows: - check the consistency of the installation wall and position the metal template (5); - rest bracket (4) at the required height against the wall and level with a spirit level; - mark the three retention holes for bracket (4); - drill with a Ø 9 mm drill if the provided anchors are used; use a different diameter if other anchors, thought to be more appropriate, are used, remembering that the working width of the slot is Ø 9 mm; - fasten the bracket (4) to the 4 3 wall; B - assemble the guide arm (); Move the metal template (5) close to the bracket (4), marking the centre of the 5 outlet hole of the inlet and exhaust pipes and those for fastening the template. 0
- At hole B, make the centre hole using a Ø 8 mm drill and then fasten the template using the Ø 8 mm anchors provided. After centring, detach the half-cut disc from the hole on the template. B A Detach only the central Ø 65 mm disc for pipes diameter Ø 3 mm and ring Ø 0 mm for pipes diameter Ø 54 mm. - Drill the hole taking into account the details shown on the Table on page 8, using a suitable cutter or a succession of small holes made in the circumference. - assemble the arm tie-rods (3, fig. on previous page) with the guide arms (). - assemble the right bracket with the right guide arm. - position the two guide arms + tie-rods against the wall, assembling the left bracket with its guide arm. - mark the three retention holes for the second bracket with the aid of a spirit level to obtain a perfectly horizontal fitting. - drill with a Ø 9 mm drill if the provided anchors are used; use a different diameter if other anchors, thought to be more appropriate, are used, remembering that the working width of the slot is Ø 9 mm; - fit the second bracket to the wall.

FITTING THE CONVECTOR Make sure all the previous operations have been performed properly, after which proceed to fit the convector on the ceiling: 3 Do not use the convection fan as a grip to raise the CONVECTOR to avoid any malfunctions or noise problems. This job is best done by two people to prevent any risk of the appliance falling and/or accidents! - Lift the appliance and rest the rear part of the frame on the initial part of the guide arms (). - Fit in succession the rear fasteners () and front fasteners (3) of the frame in the guide arms until the two exhaust (4) and inlet (5) pipes of the convector are fitted onto the respective adapter connector pipes. - Move the front section of the frame adjacent to the mouth of the guide arms. Secure the appliance with the screws provided. 4 5 After completing installation, carefully check both the ceiling and wall fastenings. Rimontare infine il mantello. Finally, fit the casing back again. To fit the casing back, pipe fitting will first of all have to be completed! To correctly remove and fit the casing back on, proceed as indicated in the CASING REMOVAL AND FITTING chapter.
INSTALLATION WITH SEPARATE PIPES AND SEPARATE END PIECES To install the convector on the ceiling or wall with bracket, follow the instructions in the relevant section. The instructions are given below for the pipes only. Before installing, carefully read the Pipe Length Check and Pressure Loss chapter to make sure the diameters, total lengths and end pieces of the pipes and their overall flow resistances do not exceed prescribed settings! Positioning the pipes (general rules) After choosing where to position the convector on the ceiling (b) or wall (a), depending on the type of pipe fitting, mark the points where the holes and/or breaks have to be made in the wall. Make the centring holes with a Ø 8 mm drill, and then with a cutter suitable for the diameter of the pipes used. Whenever necessary, make the traps for housing the pipes, taking into account the thickness of the insulation to be used. b a Mind that the pipes do not interfere with the fastenings of the convector and/or of the brackets! Mind that the recessed pipes do not alter wall resistance and affect safety! When fitted outside, support the pipes on the wall or ceiling by securing with standard clamps. For each of the following CASES, further operations will be indicated for correct installation. A) Fitting the pipes recessed in the wall, making chases and holes in the wall to house the pipes (Figures a and b page 4). This solution can be adopted when the wall thickness is such that stability is not affected by making the chases and holes for the pipes. In any case, the wall will have to be subsequently reinforced. This solution is not recommended if the walls are less than 5 cm thick. 3
a b B) Fitting the pipes beyond the wall. This solution can be adopted in case the pipes are to be kept outside the room to be heated. c The exhaust pipes must be insulated () using materials resistant to temperatures of over 00 C (eg. HT/Armaflex), so that the fumes cannot condense and the surface temperature, if the pipes run outside, does not represent a hazard for persons or things in the immediate vicinity or in close contact. 4
A: Installation with pipes recessed in the wall. Before fitting the guide arms and the brackets, the masonry works will have to be performed to house the pipes in the wall. A. - Installing the pipes (Fig. on previous page). In this case, where the inlet pipe is perpendicular to the wall and the fume exhaust pipe is parallel with the wall (turned upwards), mark the centre of the hole through which the pipe passes for Ø3 pipe (F) or Ø 54 pipe (E) as previously indicated. Afterwards, before making the vertical chase, make the holes for the inlet and exhaust pipes to pass through the wall. These should have the dimensions indicated on the Table on page 8. A. - Installing the pipes (Fig. b on previous page). In this case, where the inlet and exhaust pipes are recessed in the wall and can have directions of installation different from the example shown, before F making the chases in the wall, the holes will have to be made for the inlet and exhaust pipes to pass through as shown at para. A.. These should have the dimensions indicated on the Table on page 8. b E D C B A a B: Installation with pipes beyond the wall. B. - Installing the pipes (Fig. c on previous page). In this case, the inlet and exhaust pipes pass through the wall with the two pipes parallel and then continue in the required direction; for installation, refer to the relevant section for fitting the arms and air inlet/fume exhaust pipes. Fit the pipes, cut to size and secure with the screws provided. Secure the pipes to the wall using standard clamps. B. - Fitting the convector To fit the convector, refer to the relevant chapter. 5
FITTING THE STACK The stack should be fitted in accordance with the following requirements: - the exhaust section of the stack should be outside the reflow area to prevent the formation of counter-pressures that could impede combustion product exhaust into the atmosphere; - the stack should be positioned so rain and snow cannot penetrate inside. To install, refer to applicable installation regulations UNI CIG 79 - UNI CIG 73. The illustration shows how to fasten the stack to the exhaust pipe using clamp () and safety screw (). CHECKING the length and loss of pressure in the pipe To make sure installation is such as to ensure good appliance operation, always check pipe length, total length and number of curves and relevant flow resistance. These should not exceed the maximum values prescribed for the various models. For maximum allowed lengths and flow resistances, see Table 4: Maximum acceptable pipe length and flow resistance values. Tab. 3: Pipe check for performing the operation correctly: in column N. enter the number of pieces making up the pipe in relation to the type. This quantity must be multiplied by length L. (in m) and shown in column N. x L.. In column Pa* enter the Flow Resistance values taken from Tab. 4 depending on the convector model and diameter of the pipe to be installed; multiply this quantity in N. of pipe elements by the relevant flow resistance value and write the result in the column N. x Pa. Add the values found and compare them with the reference values shown on Tab. 4. By maximum allowed length is meant the sum of the total length of the air inlet pipe and the total length of the fume exhaust pipe. By maximum acceptable pressure loss is meant the sum of all the losses caused by the straight pipes, the curves and the end pieces, in inlet and exhaust. 6
