Quick guide from the manual
This document provides essential instructions for the correct installation of Danfoss 013R9063 fittings designed for steel and copper pipes. Proper installation is critical to ensure a leak-free connection. Always ensure pipes are cut square and free of burrs before assembly.
Pipe preparation
Before installing the fittings, ensure the pipe ends are prepared correctly:
- Cut the pipe ends at a perfect 90-degree angle.
- Use a file to remove any burrs or sharp edges from the cut end.
- Do not use pipes that are deformed or have damaged surfaces.
Assembly and installation
Follow these steps to assemble the fitting onto the pipe:
- Slide the nut onto the pipe first, followed by the compression ring (olive).
- Insert the pipe end into the fitting body.
- Tighten the nut by hand until it is firm.
- Use a wrench to tighten the nut further by 1/2 to 1 turn to ensure a secure, pressure-tight seal.
Important warnings
- Do not use pipe wrenches or heavy-duty gripping tools that may damage the fitting surface or deform the nut.
- Ensure the pipe is fully seated within the fitting before tightening.
- The fittings are designed for use with pipes conforming to DIN 1057/2391 standards.
