Function of the Gravity Brakes (1/2)

Opening pressure of the gravity brakes: 20 mbar
each.
The gravity brakes are integrated in the flow and
return ball valves. They are operated by turning the
handles of the ball valves.
To prevent gravity circulation, the valve discs should
not be vented. The gravity brakes are in operating
position (closed). The slots in the handles are in a
vertical position (Figure 3a).

Fill/Drain Fitting (6)

Use the fill and drain valves on the fill/drain fitting
to fill and drain the solar system (Figure 4).
To drain the system, the slot in the spindle must be
in a horizontal position (Figure 4b).
