Safety requirements
This product contains a powerful magnet. Care must be taken with in the vicinity of pacemakers,
data carriers and other products that are sensitive to magnetism.
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel only.
Observe local regulations and guidelines.
2. Installation
Do not install the product above a suspended ceiling or in the vicinity of electronic installations!
Install the Flamcovent Clean Smart in a dry location not suscreptible to frost and which is easily
accessible for maintenance purposes. Flush the installation thoroughly before installing the
Flamcovent Clean Smart.
For optimum effi ciency, the connection diameter of the Flamcovent Clean Smart must correspond
to the pipe diameter of the system. It is further recommended that the inlet pipe into the device be
a straight pipe having a length of no less than 10 times the nominal pipe diameter. The use of
reducing couplings is not recommended. Installation is possible in horizontal, vertical and inclined
pipes; always position the housing vertically (bleed cap at top) (fi g. 3). Install the Flamcovent Clean
Smart in the direction of fl ow in accordance with the arrow shown on the connection housing.
The Flamcovent Clean Smart must be installed in accordance with the primarily desired function
(either dirt or air separation) as follows (fi g. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D):
• If the primarily function is dirt separation: install before the boiler in the return line.
• If the primarily function is air separation: install after the boiler or mixing valve in the supply line,
ideally before the circulation pump. In a chilled water system install in the return line just before
the chiller.
The bleeding device is fi tted with a ¾" connection for possible connection of a drain (fi g. 5). Do not
use this connection for fi lling the system.
3. Inspection and maintenance
Perform regular visual inspections.
In the event of a leak from the air vent, it may be closed with the screw (fi g. 6).
The dirt that collects at the bottom of the Flamcovent Clean Smart can be removed with the aid of
the drain valve (fi g. 8). Before draining, remove the magnet (Flamco logo) by pushing it downwards
and removing it (fi g. 7). Replace the magnet after draining.
A hose can be attached to the drain valve as required. Only use the drain valve for draining dirty
system water, never for fi lling or draining the installation (fi g. 9).
Use the Flamco service stickers to to record dates of maintenance on the handle of the drain valve
(fi g. 10).
