Nortec Industries Airfog Series installation manual Connecting Nozzles, Saddle Clamp Installation

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.
