Construcon/ installaon
Do not install the product above a suspended ceiling or in the vicinity of electronic devices!
Install the Flowvent Clean in a dry locaon not suscepble to frost which is easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
Heang system: install the Flowvent Clean according primarily desired funcon (dirt- or air separaon) or directly be-
fore the boiler in the return pipe, else aer the boiler or mixing valve, in the supply pipe, ideally before the circulaon
pump ( g. 3).
• Chilled water system: just before the chiller.
• Make sure installaon is performed by qualied personnel only.
• Local legislaon & guidelines must be observed at all mes.
• Flush the installaon thoroughly before ng the Flowvent Clean.

• The bleed port on the Flowvent Clean has a 22 mm connecon for ng a drain pipe ( g. 4).
• For service purposes, there must be at least 100 mm clearance above the bleed port ( g. 5).
• In order to promote good blowing down, we recommend ng valves before and aer the Flowvent Clean (g. 6).
Maintenance/Service
The Flowvent Clean must be visually inspected regularly.
Should there be a leak from the bleed port, it can be closed with the screw ( g. 7).
Dirt that collects in the Flowvent Clean’s dirt trap can be ushed out using the drain cock (g. 8). Floang dirt
can be drained by using the upper drain cock (g. 9, models DN 50 – DN 600). Servicing may only be carried
out when the system has been de-pressurized and has cooled down.
Removal
De-pressurize the system and remove the Flowvent Clean from the system.
Local legislaon must be adhered to when disposing of the Flowvent Clean.
