Solar circuit pump line, part no.7188393 and 7188394
Safety instructions
¨Please observe these safety instructions.
Installation, initial start−up, inspection,
maintenance and repairs must be
carried out by a competent person
(heating engineer/installation
contractor).
Before working on the equipment/
heating system, isolate the power
supply (e.g. by removing a separate
mains fuse or by means of a mains
isolator) and safeguard against
unauthorised reconnection.
When using gas as fuel, also close
the main shut−off valve and safeguard
against unauthorised reopening.
It is not permitted to carry out repairs
on parts that fulfil a safety function.
For replacements, use only original
spare parts from Viessmann or those
which are approved by Viessmann.

Assembly and installation information
HThe Solar−Divicon comprises:
 pre−assembled and sealed valves
and safety assembly
 Flow regulating valve to control
the solar heating system during
the initial start−up and operation
 Non−return valve in the flow and
return pipe
HAlways install Solar−Divicon so that
steam cannot enter the expansion
vessel in the event of stagnation.
HThe Solar−Divicon and the solar
circuit pump line are not suitable
for direct contact with swimming
pool water.
HFlush the system with process
medium after draining.
HIf the expansion vessel is installed
as high or higher than the
Solar−Divicon, a thermal insulation
loop is required.
HA pre−cooling vessel connection is
fitted to the flow line to protect the
expansion vessel against excess
temperatures.
HUse only gunmetal, brass fittings,
copper pipes or Viessmann
stainless steel solar circuit pipes
for the installation. Never use
galvanized/zinc−plated pipes,
fittings or graphitised gaskets. Use
hemp only in conjunction with
pressure and temperature−resistant
sealants (e.g. ViscotexSolarpaste,
Locher & Co. AG, CH9450Altstätten).
Components that come in contact
with process medium must be
resistant to the medium.
HCheck the sealing surfaces for
cleanliness and damage before
assembly.
Installation of the locking ring fittings
HAll pipes must be cut at a right
angle and deburred.
HInsert the support sleeves into the
pipework.
HPush the union nut and the locking
ring onto the pipe and lightly
lubricate the threads with oil.
HPush the pipe into the locking ring
fitting as far as it will go.
HInitially turn the union nut by hand,
then tighten with an open ended
spanner by a further ¾ turn.
HNever fit annealed copper pipes
onto the locking ring fittings.

System with SolarDivicon and solar
circuit pump line
Position the solar circuit pump line
to the right near the Solar−Divicon.
The Solar−Divicon pump acts as a
bypass pump, the solar circuit pump
line pump as a solar circuit pump. In
this case fit the safety assembly onto
the solar circuit pump line.

together with the lower part of the
thermal insulation.
3. Installation with copper pipes
Insert the support sleeves into the
interconnecting pipes of the solar
circuit.
Alternative:
Installation with stainless steel
solar circuit pipe
Trim (free of burrs) in the valley of
the corrugation; do not damage
the peak of the corrugation. Fit the
union nut, half washer (in the fifth
valley) and O−rings (in the first and
third valley).
4. Insert a support sleeve into the
connection pipe to the expansion
vessel and secure on the safety
assembly.
5. Secure the blow−off line with the
safety valve from the safety
assembly; ensure the correct
orientation of the locking ring.
Note
The blow−off line must terminate
in an open container.
6. Route the connecting cable for the
circulation pump downwards
through the cable duct and
connect to the solar control unit.
