according to DIN EN 16313 (cone "Euro")
The thermostat "vindo TH" together with the
distributor of the radiator is a proportional
controller working without auxiliary energy . It
regulates the room temperature by varying the
volume flow of the heating water .
6 Installation and initial
operation
The fitting must only be installed into a clean
pipework system and must only be operated
with a clean unpolluted fluid .
6.1 Installation of the isolating fitting
For radiators with integrated distributor with
female thread G ½, tightly screw the enclosed
self sealing nipples into the connection nipples
of the integrated distributor of the radiator
(torque about 40 Nm) . For radiators with
integrated distributor with male thread G ¾,
introduce the enclosed inserts into the
connection nipples of the integrated distributor
of the radiator .
Screw the isolating fitting to the radiator free
from tension .
Tighten the collar nuts at the connection to the
radiator with a torque of 20 – 30 Nm . The
isolations must be easily accessible .

6.1.1 Installation of the pipework

When installing the pipework, please make sure
that the pipes run in parallel and are free from
tension . The position of the supply and return
pipe is optional and depends on the type of
radiator . Please observe the corresponding
product descriptions .
For the connection of copper, precision steel,
stainless steel and plastic pipes as well as the
composition pipe "Copipe", the Oventrop
compression fittings are to be used (alternatively,
the compression fittings of other manufacturers
– except for the composition pipe "Copipe" –
which are suitable for the connection to male
thread G ¾ according to DIN EN 16313 (cone
"Euro") may also be used .)
1 . C ut pipes to the required length at a right
angle to the tubular axle .
2 . W hen installing thin walled or very soft metal
pipes, it is necessary to use reinforcing
sleeves for the additional stabilisation of the
pipe (exception: soft sealing compression
fittings) .
3 . R einforcing sleeves cannot be used for pipes
with welded seams . The recommendations
of the pipe manufacturer must be observed
in this case . Check if the function of the
compression fitting is guaranteed .
