pipe before drilling!
Burr the drill hole!
Rinse out any chips from the pipe!
Do not commence assembly of the Clamp
until after rinsing first.
Securing the Clamp:
Insert the Clamp (3) and thorn in the drilled
hole on the pipe. Make sure the O-ring seal
is positioned correctly. Place the top part of
the Clamp (1) on the pipe and secure
using the two screws.

3.8 Glued connections
LUBING recommends "Tangit" adhesive, article no. 4405, for glued connections.
Many connection elements in the LUBING product range are designed as glued
connections. Please observe the following manufacturer instructions in order to
ensure secure connections.
The pipe must be cut at a right angle and burred. The areas to be glued must be
clean and dry. Clean the ends of the pipe on the outside and the connecting
elements on the inside using a cleaning agent (please check compatibility) and
woven felt. Always use new woven felt. The areas to be glued must be fully dry
before applying the adhesive.
Push the pipe and connecting element without twisting until the limit stop and hold
tight for a few seconds until the glue has set. Immediately following joining, remove
superfluous glue with the woven felt as otherwise the pipe will be etched too strongly.
Owing to the fast setting features of the adhesive, the join parts must be pushed
together within 4 minutes of applying the glue. The open period for Tangit depends
on the ambient temperature and/or film thickness.
Ambient temperatue Processing time Film
thickness
20 °C approx. 4 min. 1 mm
25 °C 3 min. 1 mm
30 °C 2 min. 1 mm
40 °C 1 min. 1 mm
> 40 °C < 1 min. 1 mm
Stress: Do not move the pipes for at least 5 minutes after gluing. At temperatures
below 10°C, this period is extended to a minimum of 15 minutes.
Pressure test: The pipes should not be filled nor should a pressure test be carried out
until 24 hours after the last gluing procedure. We recommend rinsing pipes and
possibly even leaving them full of water if they are not put into operation immediately.
Please observe the protective measures described by the manufacturer.
Please also observe additional information in the data sheets and guidelines on the
prevention of accidents supplied by the professional associations, e.g. VBG 15, VBG
81, M017 and the Safety Data Sheets.
Tangit contains tetrahydrofurane and cyclohexanone.
Xi = irritable
Irritates the eyes and breathing apparatus
“Tangit” adhesive is highly flammable.
F = easily flammable!

0940-1_M+B-PutentraenkeGB LUBING Floor Watering System
- 15 -
Tangit is highly inflammable. Its solvent vapours are heavier than air and can form
explosive mixtures. For this reason, always ensure sufficient ventilation when
processing, drying or gluing using Tangit. In workrooms and adjoining rooms: No
smoking! No welding! No naked flames and avoid generating sparks! Prior to welding
work, accumulations of solvent vapours and explosive mixtures must be removed. Fill
pipelines with water, rinse well and blow through. Do not seal pipes during the drying
phase.
Longer inhalation of these solvent vapours can lead to impaired health. Store used
woven felt in closed containers.
We recommend wearing protective gloves as a precaution for preventing contact with
the skin. If the substance comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with
water and consult a doctor.
Safety advice:
•Must be kept out of reach of children.
•Keep away from ignition sources – no smoking.
•Avoid contact with eyes.
•If ingested, consult a doctor and show packaging or label.

Pressure Regulator and Breather Unit.
Suspension units, ropes with adjusting and retaining panels, ceiling pulleys and
hooks are used for suspending the drinking line.
The drinking line is adjusted in height via traction ropes, guide pulleys and
handwinches.
The handwinches are secured at the front in the case of short houses.
In the case of long houses (100 - 150 metres), ceiling winches are used in the centre
of the house.
If you have not installed a Main Water Supply as described in 3.5, please observe the
following:
A water filter must be fitted in any case!
The water supply line via the wall or ceiling should be at least ¾“ in diameter.
The individual supply line from the ceiling to the Pressure Regulators is laid as a ½“
pressure hose (fibrous).
If using a proportioning unit, we recommend the LUBING Mixer.
Please assemble as follows:
Overview on page 10, section 5
1. Measure the width of the house, specify the position of the drinking line and
sketch it on the front and back walls of the building. The number of drinking lines
per building is specified in the layout.
