Radiatori 2000 Plus
Assembly Guide
Before Assembly
ASSEMBLY PREPARATION
Place all parts on a at surface.
Ensure all machined faces and internal threads are clean.
PARTS REQUIRED
There are two joints to be made for each pair of sections. Each
requires one connection nipple and one gasket. A nipple key and
tommy bar are required to rotate and tighten the connections.
CONNECTIONS
Each section has right-handed connections at one end and left-handed
ones at the other. Nipples have one end left handed and one right
handed. Determine the orientation of connections before assembly.
Assembly
ATTACHING THE NIPPLES TO THE FIRST SECTION
Screw a pair of nipples into one end of the radiator.
Only screw in by one turn, do not screw in fully.
Place a gasket approximately at the mid-point of each nipple.
Do not use any jointing paste or tape (PTFE or similar) to the
gasket, nipple threads or radiator.

ALIGNING THE SECTIONS
Carefully slide the second section next to the rst so that the nipples
align with the connections correctly.
CONNECTING THE SECTIONS
Mark how far to insert the nipple key by placing it over the top of
the radiator so that the end aligns with the nipples to be turned.
Slide the key in from the open end of the waterway until it engages
into the nipple that needs tightening. Keep the key as parallel to the
oor as possible for easier insertion; forcing the key will jam it in the
waterway. Once the key is inserted enough, check the end of the key
has fully engaged in the internal lugs inside the nipple.
One turn at a time, rotate the nipple using the nipple key. This will
pull the two sections together. After one turn, repeat with the other
nipple. Continue to alternate between the nipples, one turn at a time,
until the two sections are pulled together. It is important to keep the
sections parallel to one another.
When the sections are connected, tighten the joints so the gaskets are
rmly compressed. A tightening torque of 100 lbf-ft must be applied.
Do not test with air.
