Diverters.
When using diverters, the same applies as mentioned
above for bends, however, if space is narrow, 1 m (3.3
ft) between a bend and a diverter is recommended.
If necessary, the installation of a bend following the
diverter in the outlet direction is acceptable, which will
create a considerably faster wear of the bend. Do not
blow material directly from a bend into the diverter,
which will create a fast wear of the diverter.
It is possible to blow in each direction and suck
through an OK160 diverter, type 122 000 690.

Connections and centering
When connecting the pipes, bends and other material,
which are designed for high speed conveying , it is
important to center the pipes as precisely as possible
at the connecting points.
Do not rely on centering the pipe with the clamps
alone. The clamp is designed for pressing the OK-pipe
ends very hard together in order to ensure a very high
tightness. This causes the friction between the
pipes to become so high, that the clamp is unable to

Blowing direction
Do not attempt to blow material downwards, where
gravity will add to the conveying speed. Damage to the
material and pipes (bends) will occur due to the high
speed.
Flexible piping
Do not attempt to blow through
flexible down pipe sections.
Damage to the material and to the flexible pipe will
occur.
Supports
The pipe line shall either be supported or suspended
at a distance of max. 4 m (13 ft). Furthermore, it is
recommended to support the pipe as close to the
bends as possible.
center the pipes. Check gap between clamp and pipe
to ensure it is similar on both sides. Check the pipeline
visually to secure a straight line.
If the pipes are not centered, the wear on the
connection result in a fast wear out.
If a completely tight connection is required, the
connection can be winded with sealing tape before
installing the clamp.
