2. Sleeve assembly

 Slide the sleeve onto

the tube and over the
end of the tube,
Figures 4,5.

 Align the Notch (non-

perforated zone) in
the sleeve with the
groove in the tube.
THIS WILL LOCATE
THE NON-
Figure 4 PERFORATED
SECTION OVER THE
SLOT IN THE TUBE
DIFFUSER.

 Note that the 50 mm

non-perforated section
is located over the
inlet hole. See
FIGURES 6,7.

3. Align sleeve, set & crimp

BEAD clamp:

 Center sleeve stretched over

PP tube so that it is flush on the
threaded end, Figure 8.

Figure 9
 Set the OETIKER Clamp on
both ends, Figures 9,10.
Figure 8 NOTE ALIGNMENT OF PRINTING
AND CLAMP
 Make sure clamp located
proper behind the bead and is
not partially sitting on bead
before crimping! Figure 8
shows the bead.

 Check for proper alignment.

The non-perforated area and
the notch must be aligned with
the groove. The crimp part of
the clamp is also aligned with
Figure 10 them and then crimped, Figures
10,11.
Figure 11
 Crimp using ONLY Oetiker
Crimping tools. Other tools may
not crimp the clamp enough.

 Check if clamp is properly

aligned behind bead and if fully
crimped

 Fold over the sleeve ends!

How To Remove Clamps:

1) NEVER TWIST THE CLAMPS OFF AS THIS COULD
CUT THE RUBBER.
2) With a pair of pincers (side cutters or side dikes can also be
used), lift up and bend the tab on the Oetiker clamp

How To Install New Clamps:

1) Inspect the rubber. If it is not cut, slide the new clamp
onto the sleeve in place of the old clamp.

2)Crimp clamp into place.

Apply force until ratchet
releases. The crimp may
not be completely closed,
but it should be tight on
the sleeve.

3) Fold ends over.
