■Suitable for domestic water systems according to
DVGW W 534 and DIN 1988, pipe materials:
Copperpipe DIN EN 1057 and stainless steel pipe
DINEN 10312, DVGW GW 541 dimensions 12 to 42 mm,
certification no. DW-8511AQ2006
■Suitable for gas installations according to DVGW
worksheet G 260/I the 2nd gas type, according to
DIN3387 (removable pipe connections for metal gas
pipes / smooth pipe connectors) and in accordance
with DVGW G 600, TRGI 2008, pipe material: Copper
pipe according to DIN EN 1057 and DVGW GW 392,
semi-hard (R250), dimensions 12 to 22 mm,
certification no. NG-4502BL6101 (use support sleeve)
■According to DIN 1988 and DVGW worksheet G 600,
TRGI 2008 VSH SUPER compression fitting made of
brass may be installed under plaster.
Under certain conditions brass components (including
nuts, clamp rings of VSH SUPER compression fittings) can
be aected by stress corrosion cracking. This special type
of corrosion leads to component failure.
To prevent this, such systems must not be exposed to
ammoniac or chlorinated environments (e.g. stables,
swimming pools). Furthermore, no condensate should
form on the fittings. Particularly in the areas where fittings
and pipes are continuously cold must be fully and non-
diusively equipped with closed cell insulation to reliably
prevent condensation. The insulation used and all other
adhesives, additives and coatings have to be absolutely
free of chlorine, ammoniac and nitrite.
If in doubt, a clearance certificate must be obtained from
the manufacturer.
The prescribed processing instructions with information
concerning the correct installation of the union nuts must
be observed.
When using VSH SUPER compression fittings in gas systems,
no oil or grease may be used to facilitate assembly.
Danger of explosion! Only aids authorized in accordance
with the relevant DVGW guidelines and with appropriate
DVGW registration are permitted.
The reuse of a previously used fittings is only permitted
with a new seal set.

Installation instructions
A. Cut pipe to length (saw or cut)
B. Deburr pipe ends and check for scratches, impurities and
deformations.
C. Check for proper position of clamping ring on fitting. Slide
pipe through clamp ring to the stop in the fitting. The clamp
ring must be seated on the pipe as shown in Fig. 1.
D. Tighten union nut by hand (it is recommended to apply a
waterproof mark) and then tighten according to the prescri-
bed number of revolutions in table 1.
E. Then check the connection for leak-tightness (take local
regulations for the media used into consideration).
If leaks are found aer installation, disconnect the pipe and check
for damages. Then tighten the union nut hand tight and retighten
with the spanner 1/8 to 1/4 turn, since the clamp ring is already in
a clamping position.

D = pipe
E = abbutting edge
Function
The clamp ring sits on two conical holes in the housing
and the union nut (see Fig. 1). The conical hole on the
housing has a smaller angle than that of the union nut.
With this design the tightening of the locking ring results in
deformation of the housing first and then in the union nut.
This prevents the pipe from turning during assembly.
Fig. 2 shows the clamp ring connection aer assembly.
When the union nut is tightened as prescribed, the clamp
fitting and pipe are permanently connected.
Notice: Over tightening the union nut may result in leaks or even breakage of the nut!

Remounting/multiple use of fittings
Existing connections can be removed and re-installed.
Theclamp ring fixed at its intended location is placed under
tension when the union nut is tightened by hand. Then
tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn with a spanner.
The clamp ring can be removed by making an oblique saw
cut (see Fig. 3), without damaging the pipe. Expand ring
using a flat object and carefully removed it from the pipe.
Installation information
In table 2 the insertion depths are listed for planning and
pre-fabrication (see Fig. 4).
Tables 3 and 4 show the flow resistance of the fittings at
awater velocity of 0.75 m/s expressed in the equivalent pipe
length per meter. For reduction fittings the values in table 4
are to be added to the values in table 3.
