Drilling of Mounting Holes for Anchor Rods
Drill two mounting holes for the first AirRex® mounting clamp at a distance of 370 mm from the air supply line's
outlet socket (see illustration above). The holes for the second AirRex® clamp are set at a distance of 1270 mm from
the first one (1300 mm when using AirRex+® modules with 8 diffuser connections). Drill all further mounting hole
pairs a distance of 1815 mm from the preceding holes. All mounting holes must be exactly in line and perpendicular
to the basin floor! All hole separations given are center-to-center distances.
Then, place a resin-based anchor (cartridge or injected dab) in the bottom of each hole and insert its anchor rod fully
downwards. Be certain to observe the anchor manufacturer's installation and use instructions (in particular
instructions for screwing the anchor rod into the anchor to ensure proper resin mixing and distribution).
Keep each anchor rod positioned exactly perpendicular to the basin floor until the resin has hardened.
Mounting and Alignment of Lower Shells
Screw a support nut onto each anchor rod to the required height and place a washer on top of each support nut.
Place a lower shell (i.e. lower half of twin-shell mounting clamp) over the first two anchor rods and move it downward
so that it rests on their washers / support nuts. Use the same procedure to place the other lower shells on their
anchor rods in the line. Use a bubble level or equivalent to check for level positioning (both lengthwise and
perpendicular to the line axis) of all lower shells and correct nut heights as necessary.
Installation of AirRex® Modules

Place the first AirRex® module (supplied with factory-mounted adapter) in the first two lower shells. Slip the AirRex®
flexible transition tube over the AirRex® adapter and use an ear clamp band (supplied with the modules) to fix the
flexible transition tube in place.
Now push the AirRex module towards the air supply line, slipping its transition tube over the outlet socket.
Now place the upper shells of the first two clamps on the threaded rods so that they correctly interlock with the pipe
at 12 o'clock. Then place a washer on the anchor rod on each side and screw a nut in place, hand-tight.
Now pull the AirRex® module back through the mounting clamps, i.e. away from the air supply line, until its end stop 18/31
ridges contact the left side of the first mounting clamp (as shown below, see blue arrow). Measure the gap between
the outlet socket and the AirRex® connector piece. This gap must be within a range of 5 - 10 mm.
After checking to ensure that the gap between the outlet socket and the AirRex® adapter is within this range, leave
the module in position - i.e. with its end stop ridges still in contact with the mounting clamp - and use an ear clamp
band (supplied with the modules) to fix the transition tube in position on the outlet socket as shown above.
Use a torque wrench set at 20 Nm (15 ftlb) to tighten down the nuts on the first two mounting clamps.
Using the supplied assembly paste (use no other pastes of any kind), thoroughly lubricate the seals of the next
AirRex® module. Install it by placing it in the lower shells of the next two mounting clamps, pushing it into the module
last installed and then turning it to close the bayonet joint. Repeat the procedure for the other AirRex® modules to be
installed in the line.
Fit the other top shells of the clamps, again correctly interlocking at 12 o'clock, place a washer and screw a nut over
the two anchor rods of each clamp. Tighten the nut with a tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ftlb). Cap off the last 19/31
module of the line with an AirRex® end cap. Install the end cap using the same procedure as used for the modules,
i.e. by thoroughly lubricating its seals with the supplied assembly paste, pushing it into the module last installed and
then turning it to close the bayonet joint.
Again use a bubble level or equivalent to check that the AirRex® line is level over its entire length, correcting the shell
heights by adjusting their nuts as required. Retighten any nut adjusted using a torque wrench set to 20 Nm (15 ftlb).
