Warnings and Responsibilities 

Topring assumes no responsibility for the installation of any particular piping system. It is the responsibility of the project designer to ensure that the installer complies with the standards in force, in particular the installation guidelines for pipes (main line and drop legs) and components,
including the configuration of slopes and expansion loops.

Before You Begin

Tools Required for Series 08 Installation

Basic Rules

1.  Follow the system layout plan.
2. Recommended minimum installation height: 2.5 m (8.2 ft) from the floor (for safety reasons)
3. All horizontal piping must have a minimum slope of approximately 1% to allow proper condensate drainage. Downward slopes must lead to drain drops equipped with condensate drains, installed at the lowest points of the system.
   
4. Pipe support methods must be adapted to the building configuration and installed to ensure proper alignment and overall system rigidity.
5. Maintain clearance from walls. To prevent expansion/contraction issues and ensure sufficient space, pipes must not be installed too close to walls.
6. The maximum distance between supports must be 3 meters (10 ft), regardless of pipe diameter. It is strongly recommended to install a support 20–30 cm (8–12 in) on each side of a fitting, or 20 cm (8 in) on each side of a valve. This helps prevent pipe distortion.
   If installing a valve with an integrated support bracket, additional supports on each side of the valve are not required.
7. A flexible element (expansion loop, anti-vibration hose, or expansion fitting) must be installed on any straight section longer than 50 m (164 ft) to absorb expansion and prevent stress on the piping system.
8. Ensure all fittings are tightened to the recommended torque after pipe insertion.
9. Pressurize the system gradually.
10. Never work on a pressurized system.

Compressed Air System Installation

Pipe Preparation

Tools Required for Pipe Preparation:

1. Cut the pipe

2. Deburr and chamfer

Remove the shavings from inside the pipe to protect the sealing elements (O-rings) of the fitting.

3. Clean and lubricate the pipe

• Clean with a damp cloth.
• Use a mild, non-aggressive degreaser.
• To facilitate assembly, it is mandatory to lubricate the pipe.
• Use only Topring lubricant gel (08.579).
  (The use of lubricants, oils, or grease with unverified chemical compatibility is strictly prohibited.)
  
  

Quick calculation for the required amount of gel:

Best Practice

• The mark must remain visible after insertion.

• Always use the manufacturer’s official specifications.

• An incorrect length may cause leaks. 
  
  

Check that the parts to be assembled are properly aligned to ensure a secure fit.

Check that the parts to be assembled are properly aligned to ensure a secure fit.

Compression Fitting Tightening

Required Tools for tightening fittings :

 

For 16 to 80 mm diameters:

 

1. Ensure perfect alignment between the pipe and the fitting before tightening. 

2. Hold the fitting in place. 

Use a spanner wrench to keep the fitting body in position while using a tightening wrench to tighten the nuts. 

3. Tighten the nut using a torque wrench. 

• To ensure proper tightening, it is mandatory to use a torque wrench, using the square drive on the tightening wrench.
• Firmly hold the fitting with an appropriate holding wrench.
• Prevent any movement or rotation during tightening.
• Tighten each nut to the recommended torque value.

 

Bypass Saddle Tee installation (Depressurized System) 

 

Tools Required to Install Bypass Saddle Tees:

 

Note: The drill bits are specifically designed to prevent damage to or perforation of the back wall of the pipe, unlike conventional drilling tools. They feature an integrated stop that prevents drilling completely through the pipe during the operation.

Steps

 

	1. POSITION THE BYPASS SADDLE TEE   Adjust the bypass saddle tee to the desired position using the double markings in the pipe		2. MARK THE POSITION   Place the saddle tee in the desired position, then use a marker to draw a vertical line perpendicular to the horizontal line (already marked on the pipe).
	3. TURN THE SADDLE TEE   Rotate the saddle tee 180° so that it aligns with the mark on the pipe.		4. PIPE DRILLING   Insert the drilling tool into the guide to drill the pipe.
	Check the drill hole and remove any aluminum shavings using the deburring tool (08.590).		5. TIGHTEN THE SADDLE TEE   Reposition the tee to its original position and tighten the M8 bolt to the recommended torque

Steps

 

	1. POSITION THE SADDLE TEE   Position the bypass saddle tee at the desired location and tighten the M8 bolt to the recommended torque.		2. INSTALL THE DRILLING TOOL   Open the valve. Screw the drilling tool onto the valve.
	3. PIPE DRILLING Drill the pipe using a standard drill.		4. CLOSE THE VALVE Close the valve. Unscrew the drilling tool from the valve.

 

Maintaining the Drilling Tool

 

Pneumatic Pilot Valve Installation

Connect the pneumatic valve to the remote pilot by connecting the two Ø 4 PA tubes, following the “PILOT PRESSURE” and “CLOSING PORT” markings indicated on each component. 

System Testing and Commissioning

Warning Before Pressurization

• The installer must comply with applicable standards and Topring installation guidelines.

   

• Improper assembly of pipes and fittings may result in significant residual risks, including:

  • Release of pressurized air or nitrogen due to connection failure caused by improper tightening.
  • Release of pressurized air or nitrogen due to damage to the piping caused by impact.
    
    
• Release of pressurized air or nitrogen caused by excessive pressure, as the maximum allowable pressure is 232 PSI (16 bar).
  
  

System Pressurization

PRESSURIZATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN TWO STAGES

1.  Perform a preliminary test by gradually increasing the pressure up to a maximum of 43.5 PSI (3 bar) and maintain it for at least 5 minutes.  This allows for the identification of any leaks or irregularities in the system and the necessary corrections to be made. It will also help remove any remaining aluminum debris from the system. 

2. Then increase the pressure gradually and steadily, at a rate of 14.5 PSI (1 bar) every 5 seconds, until the operating pressure is reached. 

Pressurization Check

• Once the desired pressure is reached, it must remain stable (with no significant drop) for at least 10 minutes. 

• After the first 48 to 72 hours, check all connections and ensure that all nuts remain properly tightened.
