4.28 Quick-Connect Coupling Usage and Care
Precautions
Do not join or separate quick-connect couplings when the pressure gauge
indicates that the system is pressurized.
Do not join or separate quick-connect couplings when the HTF temperature is
above 48°C (120°F).
Do not use damaged quick-connect couplings.
Do not use dirty or contaminated quick-connect couplings.
Do not lubricate the quick-connect couplings.
Cleaning
Follow the procedure below to clean the quick-connect couplings. Do so before
and after each use.
1. Clean both the male
(a)
and female coupling
(b)
by rinsing each with clean water.
2. When the couplings are clean, inspect seals and gaskets and replace them if necessary.
3. After cleaning the couplings, install caps or protective covers on the couplings to
protect them.
Using
Follow the procedures below to use the quick-connect couplings.
1. Pull back and hold the locking collar (c) on the female coupling (b).
2. Insert the male coupling (a) into the female coupling.
3. Release the locking collar. The couplings will lock together.
To release the couplings:
1. Pull back and hold the locking collar (c) on the female coupling (b).
2. Pull the male coupling from the female coupling.
3. Release the locking collar.
CAUTION
Burn hazard. The hoses and components of the plumbing system may be very hot.
Hot hoses and hot plumbing components may cause burns.
f Wear gloves when handling hot hoses and hot plumbing components.
