STANDARD 2 Diffusers with Separate Saddle Adapter on Round Headers

When installing STANDARD 2 diffusers, observe all general instructions issued by OTT for installation, operation and maintenance in their most recent versions (see Section 1 / yellow) along with the installation instructions given below. Install and use STANDARD 2 diffusers only as intended. Watch the STANDARD 2 installation video in its entirety and follow all procedures shown there. Also use the check list given below.

Installation Procedure

1. Remove products from packaging cartons

Remove diffusers from their packaging carton, holding each by its ends only (i.e. by gripping either A. the plastic surfaces within or B. the part of the membrane which is turned back over the clamp band; do not touch any other part of the membrane). Take care not to hit diffusers against nearby objects as this could cause damage to their membranes.

2. Drill air supply holes

At each location along the header where STANDARD 2 diffusers will be installed, drill two 20 mm (0.8") diameter holes facing each other at the 3 o'clock position and the 9 o'clock position as shown at left.

3. Place saddle adapter

This STANDARD 2 version is supplied with a separate saddle adapter as shown at left. Its bolts, nuts and sealing rings (2 bolts, 2 nuts and 2 washers for each diffuser pair) are included in the packaging carton.

Be certain that a sealing ring is placed in proper position on each side of the saddle.

Ensure that the arrows on both adapter halves are on the top.

4. Tighten mounting bolts

Using a torque wrench set at 20 Nm (15 ft lb), tighten the bolts in alternating incremental sequence, i.e. tighten the upper bolt slightly and then tighten the lower bolt slightly, repeating the sequence until the pre-set torque is attained on both bolts.

5. Place and tighten diffusers

Screw down the diffuser with a torque wrench set to 35 Nm (26 ft lb). After applying this torque, if the lengthwise blue line on the diffuser's membrane is not facing straight up (exactly at "12 o'clock"), apply increased torque - not exceeding a maximum of 45 Nm (33 ft lb) - as required to bring the lengthwise blue line to 12 o'clock. When applying the torque, hold the free end of the diffuser in place to prevent it from bending.

Drill mounting holes vertically in the marked positions to required depth. Install a stainless-steel anchor rod in each mounting hole, using a suitable fixing element (e.g. resin-based anchor) to fix the rod in the base of the hole.

Place a nut and washer on each anchor rod and screw to required height. Place the header over the anchor rods, resting it on the washers.

Using the anchor-rod threading and the level bulbs, fine adjust the height of each nut as required to achieve exactly level alignment. Place washer and nut over each rod and screw down tightly.

2. Connection to Air Supply Line

All air supply lines must installed stress-free and with close support spacing (typically at intervals of less than 2 m/ 78").

Avoid any crossing-over of lines or contact between lines. If several lines are bundled and held by common supports, make certain that this does not damage them in any way.

When cutting pipe segments to the exact lengths required for the air supply line, take into account changes in length due to temperature (i.e. thermal expansion/contraction) and other operating conditions.

3. Installation of Diffusers

Before installing diffusers, clean out the air supply system (all lines from the blowers to the diffusers) by thorough air purging.

Make certain that all diffusers have sufficient clearance to neighbouring diffusers, lines, agitators, basin walls etc.

Install and start up MAGNUM® diffusers in accordance with installation, operation and maintenance instructions for MAGNUM® diffusers (available separately from OTT).

• Guard caps (blue)
• M8 nuts and washers for guard caps
• M8 threaded anchor rods with nuts and washers for mounting of guardrails on basin floor
• Fixing elements (e.g. resin-based anchors), used to fix anchor rod in base of each mounting hole 

Required tools:

• Wrench (spanner) for M8 bolts
• Electric percussion drill with 10 mm diameter bit (bit length: 50 cm)

Pre-Installation Check

Before mounting the guardrails, make certain that the diffusers they will secure have been installed in accordance with OTT’s installation instructions.

1. Installation of Guard Caps

Mounting of Guard Caps; Joining Guardrail to Diffusers

Mount the OTT guard caps in their receiving holes in the guardrail. Insert the mounted guard caps into the ends of the diffusers to be secured, thereby joining the guardrail, the diffusers and the header in a "ladder configuration".

Drilling of Mounting Holes for Threaded Anchor Rods

Holding the guardrail in this position, use it as a template to mark (vertically through the receiving holes in the guardrail for the threaded anchor rods) the locations of the mounting holes to be drilled for the threaded anchor rods.

Drill the mounting holes to the required depth into the basin floor, taking care to drill them exactly vertically.

2. Installation of Guardrail

Mounting of Guardrail

Place a fixing element in the drilled mounting hole for the threaded anchor rod. Insert the threaded anchor rod through its receiving hole in the guardrail. Place a washer and then a nut on the lower end of the rod, screwing the nut upwards to the approximate height required to hold the guardrail in place from below. Repeat the procedure for each drilled mounting hole and threaded anchor rod.

Then insert each rod to the bottom of its drilled mounting hole, i.e. all the way into its fixing element. Allow setting time as specified by the fixing element manufacturer. Then adjust the height of each nut as required so that the guardrail holds the diffusers exactly level (i.e. horizontal). Then place a washer and a nut over each anchor rod, screwing the nut downward tightly against the guardrail to fix it in place from above.

3. Final Check

Outside diameter A of pipe socket

Drilling of Mounting Holes for Anchor Rods

Drill two mounting holes for the first AirRex® mounting clamp at a distance of 370 mm (14.6") from the air supply line's outlet socket (see illustration above). The diameter and depth of these holes are based on the supplied specifications by the manufacturer of the resin-based anchor used. The holes for the second AirRex® clamp are set at a distance of 1270 mm (50") from the first one (1300 mm (51.2") when using AirRex+® modules with 8 diffuser connections). Drill all further mounting hole pairs a distance of 1815 mm (72.45") from the preceding holes. All mounting holes must be exactly in line and perpendicular to the basin floor! All hole separations given are center-to-center distances.

Then, place a resin-based anchor (cartridge or injected dab) in the bottom of each hole and insert its anchor rod fully downwards. Be certain to observe the supplied anchor manufacturer's installation and use instructions (in particular instructions for screwing the anchor rod into the anchor to ensure proper resin mixing and distribution).

Keep each anchor rod positioned exactly perpendicular to the basin floor until the resin has hardened.

Mounting and Alignment of Lower Shells

Screw a support nut onto each anchor rod to the required height and place a washer on top of each support nut. Place a lower shell (i.e. lower half of twin-shell mounting clamp) over the first two anchor rods and move it downward so that it rests on their washers / support nuts. Use the same procedure to place the other lower shells on their anchor rods in the line. Use a bubble level or equivalent to check for level positioning (both lengthwise and perpendicular to the line axis) of all lower shells and correct nut heights as necessary.

Installation of AirRex® Modules

Place the first AirRex® module (supplied with factory-mounted adapter) in the first two lower shells. Slip the AirRex® flexible transition tube over the AirRex® adapter and use an ear clamp band (supplied with the modules) to fix the flexible transition tube in place.

Now push the AirRex module towards the air supply line, slipping its transition tube over the outlet socket.

Now place the upper shells of the first two clamps on the threaded rods so that they correctly interlock with the pipe at 12 o'clock. Then place a washer on the anchor rod on each side and screw a nut in place, hand-tight.

Now pull the AirRex® module back through the mounting clamps, i.e. away from the air supply line, until its end stop ridges contact the left side of the first mounting clamp (as shown below, see blue arrow). Measure the gap between the outlet socket and the AirRex® connector piece. This gap must be within a range of 5 - 10 mm (0.2" - 0.4").

After checking to ensure that the gap between the outlet socket and the AirRex® adapter is within this range, leave the module in position - i.e. with its end stop ridges still in contact with the mounting clamp - and use an ear clamp band (supplied with the modules) to fix the transition tube in position on the outlet socket as shown above.

Use a torque wrench set at 20 Nm (15 ftlb) to tighten down the nuts on the first two mounting clamps.

Using the supplied assembly paste (use no other pastes of any kind), thoroughly lubricate the seals of the next AirRex® module. Install it by placing it in the lower shells of the next two mounting clamps, pushing it into the module last installed and then turning it to close the bayonet joint. Repeat the procedure for the other AirRex® modules to be installed in the line.

Fit the other top shells of the clamps, again correctly interlocking at 12 o'clock, place a washer and screw a nut over the two anchor rods of each clamp. Tighten the nut with a tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ftlb). Cap off the last module of the line with an AirRex® end cap. Install the end cap using the same procedure as used for the modules, i.e. by thoroughly lubricating its seals with the supplied assembly paste, pushing it into the module last installed and then turning it to close the bayonet joint.

Again use a bubble level or equivalent to check that the AirRex® line is level over its entire length, correcting the shell heights by adjusting their nuts as required. Retighten any nut adjusted using a torque wrench set to 20 Nm (15 ftlb).

Drilling of Mounting Holes for Anchor Rods

Drill two mounting holes for the first AirRex® mounting clamp at a distance of 360 mm (14.2") from the air supply line's outlet socket (see illustration above). The diameter and depth of these holes are based on the supplied specifications by the manufacturer of the resin-based anchors used. The holes for the second AirRex® clamp are set at a distance of 1270 mm (50") from the first one (1300 mm (51.2") when using AirRex+® modules with 8 diffuser connections). Drill all further mounting hole pairs a distance of 1815 mm (72.45") from the preceding holes. All mounting holes must be exactly in line and perpendicular to the basin floor! All hole separations given are center-to-center distances.

Then, place a resin-based anchor (cartridge or injected dab) in the bottom of each hole and insert its anchor rod fully downwards. Be certain to observe the supplied anchor manufacturer's installation and use instructions (in particular instructions for screwing the anchor rod into the anchor to ensure proper resin mixing and distribution).

Keep each anchor rod positioned exactly perpendicular to the basin floor until the resin has hardened.

Mounting and Alignment of Lower Shells

Screw a support nut onto each anchor rod to the required height and place a washer on top of each support nut. Place a lower shell (i.e. lower half of twin-shell mounting clamp) over the first two anchor rods and move it downward so that it rests on their washers / support nuts.
