Installation

The R580M modules with bayonet connection are manually assembled

to produce manifolds with the necessary number of connections. The

operation is extremely simple and doesn’t require any tools, but it’s

important to check that the end parts are clean and free of impurities, and

to lightly lubricate the O-ring with silicone grease if necessary. To prevent

any material from entering and damaging the O-rings, it is a good idea to

wait until the moment of assembly before taking the modules out of their

packaging.

To make the bayonet connection of the individual modules, position them

side by side with their vertical axes rotated by 90°. Push lightly in the axial

direction until they reach their end stop, then rotate the two modules by

90° so that the male and female parts of the bayonet connection are in line

with each other.

To put together a distribution manifold you will need a pair of R580T

terminals and the right number of R580M modules for the number of

connections you want to make. To produce a 5-connection modular

manifold for example, you will need a pair of R580T terminals plus three

R580M modules. For a manifold with just

two connections, the pair of R580T terminals

is sufficient.

The modules with bayonet connection are

coupled with the accessory components

via the R580T threaded terminals. The grip

with spanners (needed to tighten the male

threads to the terminals) should be made

using the special flat seats on the modules.

Under no circumstances should you use

tongs or other tools to apply a torsion or

crushing strain on the modules, to avoid

creating deformations that could make

them unsuitable for assembly or jeopardise

the hydraulic seal.

After assembling the manifolds with the

number of connections required, fit them in

the cabinet. The bracket (shaped to follow

the manifold profile) should be positioned

on the cylindrical part so it can be fixed to

the cabinet with the screw supplied. When

assembling on the wall or in a niche, you

can use the R583 1” supports. Once the

manifolds have been fixed and the supply

lines have been hooked up, connect the

circuits using base 16 or 18 adaptors of a

type compatible with the pipe material.

The final stage is to identify the various

connections by using the red and blue R523

adhesive labels.

Description

The R580M and R580T modular manifolds with bayonet connection are

purposely designed for use in hot and cold water (sanitary and heating)

distribution systems, with a view to simplifying and speeding up installation.

The resulting product offers high flexibility and practicality without

neglecting aesthetic and ergonomic qualities. The innovative solution of the

single module with bayonet connection allows the extremely quick creation

(without the need for tools or interposed sealing elements) of manifolds with

multiple connections to meet worksite requirements. The modular solution

also limits warehouse stock to just two components.

Main features

The modules with bayonet connection are made via the hot moulding

method that guarantees excellent mechanical features - smaller dimensions

and thicknesses with wide fluid transit sections and hence limited pressure

loss and flow noise. The modules are assembled manually and the hydraulic

seal is guaranteed by pre-assembled O-rings, without any need for interposed

hemp, PTFE or adhesive agents.

The male and female connections on the manifolds have a bayonet profile

for precise, stable assembly without any need for spanners, pipe wrenches or

levers.The R580M modular manifolds with bayonet connection are connected

to the existing components (valves, caps, pipes, etc.) by interposing the two

R580T terminal modules with female thread (the available sizes are 3/4”, 1”, 1

1/4”).The R580T terminal modules have a male or female bayonet connection

on one side and, on the threaded part, two surfaces where they can be

gripped with spanners and coupled with the components without any strain

on the manifold modules. The R580M and R580T modules are fitted with base

16 or 18 adaptor connections for connecting the distribution pipes.
