MUX Installation Instructions

 
How do we install the MUX overcollars?

The ends of the ducts must not have any dents, damages, burrs or dirt and must be perfectly round.

Unlike other duct connection systems, the MUX overcollars can be easily disassembled.

  1. Place the MUX Overcollar around the duct...
     
  2. Until it reaches the NBR gasket bulge which acts as a stop
     
  3. Then insert the second section till it also reaches the NBR gasket bulge. Heavier ducts do not always allow determining if we have reached the bulge, or if we might even have pushed the duct beyond it. In such cases it is recommended to use a marker and draw a line approximately 4,5 cm from the duct end, allowing to center the parts.
     
  4. Tighten the Allen screw (SW = 5 mm) until both MUX ends meet. If you use an electric drive, it is recommended to finish tightening the joining clip per hand. Use preferably Allen keys without ball heads as they might damage the screw.

IMPORTANT: The MUX Overcollar must be closed completely. Only then is the NBR gasket sufficiently compressed and the expected oil-tightness achieved!

To be taken into consideration when fitting stainless steel parts

 

CAUTION:
When installed vertically, each duct segment must be individually fixed and secured!
