For 4.3 Install the screw system
– Remove anti-corrosive coatings from metal components (nipples and fitting) using a cleaning product
(for example petroleum ether).
– Do not strip the hose. Clamp the threaded fitting in place and screw the hose into the socket as far as it
will go by turning it anti-clockwise, then turn it back (Fig. 404).
– Apply refrigerator oil (PAG) to the hose inner tube and nipple thread (see figure).
– Holding the nipple at the hexagon, screw it into the socket and the hose by turning it clockwise until there
is a gap of approx. 1.0 to 1.5 mm between the hexagon and the socket. Do not tighten it (Fig. 404).
– Ensure that the hose is in perfect condition; make sure there are no constrictions or bulges, particularly at
the transition to the fitting.
– Blow nitrogen or dry, clean compressed air through the hoses.
– Seal the hoses and examine them for leaks in a water bath using nitrogen or dry compressed air (leak test
pressure approx. 35 bar) (see Fig. 405).
WARNING
Only carry out this test with the appropriate safety equipment in place.
