hose ends of the media line. Installation of the product may
be carried out in any position, horizontal, vertical, diagonal
etc.
Attention: Observe the direction of the flow – the flow
direction is marked on the filter housing (Figure 1).
ÎObserve the installation direction of the T-Filter. This is
mounted between two pipe or hose ends of the media line.
Attention: Please note the flow direction marked
(Figure 2).
ÎBefore installation, check if the counterparts are designed to
withstand the assembly data (see Chapter 7.2 Installing the
filter) that WEH determined for this WEH®Product.
Note: The indicated assembly data (tightening torques,
assembly turns etc.) are values that apply only to the compo-
nents delivered by WEH.
