6. INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Danger – high pressure and discharge of medium.
Leak and danger of bursting due to damaged components.
• Do not bend or kink hose in excess of its natural bending radius.
Kinked, crushed or damaged hoses as well as damaged hose nipples or nuts must not be used and must be replaced.
Risk of injury from improper installation.
• Installation must only be carried out by authorized technicians and
with the appropriate tools!
6.1. Cutting the hose
WARNING!
Risk of fire due to flying sparks.
Depending on the reinforcement of the hose, flying sparks may
occur. when cutting the silicone hose.
• No flammable materials are permitted in the working area.
• Observe safety standards.
• Before beginning work, make sure that sufficient extinguishing
agents are available.
Hoses without connections can be cut off with a hose cutter, a
suitable saw or a cutting-off wheel. Depending on the reinforcement of
the hose, flying sparks may occur.
→ Observe safety standards and clean the hose from dirt after
cutting.

6.2. Installation of the connections sterile
standard with hose nut (with and
without union nut)
WARNING!
Danger of bursting caused by damaged or incorrectly installed
hoses.
The hose must not be peeled.
• Be careful not to damage the hose when faceting.
The hose must not be kinked (breakage of vulcanization).
• Do not use kinked or leaking hoses.

Fig. 2: Installation of the connections sterile standard with hose nut
→ Facet the inside at the end of the neatly cut hose, using a sharp
knife (faceting:
1
/3 hose thickness, 45°).
→ Prior to the installation, it is recommended to lubricate the contact
points on the hose nipples and the hose well with glycerin
(see "Recommended auxiliary materials", page 12). Caution:
Only use glycerin if it is safe for the application.
→ Insert the faceted hose all the way into the hose nut (4). For this
purpose, if may be necessary to use a device and/or press.
CAUTION:
Risk of injury from improper installation.
• Installation and construction of the device may be carried out by
trained personnel only and in consideration of the safety standards.
→ Use a ball-point pen to mark the point where the hose protrudes
from the hose nut. This marking is important to measure how far
the hose extends by the clamping.
→ Slide the union nut (2) over the hose nipple (1) and secure with the
retaining ring (3) (this step is only required for couplings with union
nut).
→ Wet the thread of the hose nipple with mounting paste
(see "10. Recommended auxiliary materials", page 12) and
screw into the hose nut.
7
→ Check marking on hose. It should be located approx. 5 mm away
from the beginning of the hose nut. In case this guide value is
exceeded considerably, there is a risk that the hose no longer sits
far enough in the connection.
In this case, removal and a new installation have to be carried out.
6.3. Installation of the connections sterile
standard with half nuts
WARNING!
Danger of bursting caused by damaged or incorrectly installed
hoses.
The hose must not be peeled.
• Be careful not to damage the hose when faceting.
The hose must not be kinked (breakage of vulcanization).
• Do not use kinked or leaking hoses.

Fig. 3: Installation of the connections sterile standard with half nuts
→ Facet the inside at the end of the neatly cut hose, using a sharp
knife (faceting:
1
/3 hose thickness, 45°).
→ Carefully push O-ring (3) over the hose nipple (1) into the O-ring
groove.
→ Prior to the installation, it is recommended to lubricate the
contact points on the hose nipples and the hose well with glycerin
(see "Recommended auxiliary materials", page 12). Caution:
Only use glycerin if it is safe for the application.
→ Push the faceted hose all the way over the hose nipple. For this
purpose, if may be necessary to use a device and/or press.
Type BBS-04

CAUTION:
Risk of injury from improper installation.
• Installation and construction of the device may be carried out by
trained personnel only and in consideration of the safety standards.
→ Pace half nuts (2) around the hose and clamp, using a press, if
required.
→ Tighten the screws (4) diagonally and evenly.
NOTE!
Leak due to incorrect installation
• Do not jam or tighten the hose nut halves unevenly. The gap
between the halves should not exceed 3.5 mm.
6.4. Disassembly
Disassembly is in reverse sequence to assembly.
6.5. Installation in pipeline
BBS-4S hose coupling without welded connection can be connected
to the pipeline by using connecting elements BBS-03, BBS-05,
BBS-06 and BBS-25.
The installation instructions can be found in the corresponding operating manual. They can be found on the Internet at www.burkert.com.
Please note the following bending specifications for silicone hoses:
Installation permitted:
Installation not permitted:

6.6. Welding in of the hose
coupling with welded connection
NOTE!
Leak due to damaged O-rings or silicone hose.
• To ensure the sealing function, protect the O-rings and the silicone
hose during installation, welding and cleaning procedures.
Only adequately trained personnel may weld in and rework the
product.
→ Connect the parts positively in a protective gas shield.
When cleaning the weld seam by grinding or acid cleaning, observe
the following before assembling the connection:
• Carefully remove all grinding dust and acid-cleaning residue.
• Do not damage the label.
• There must be no material abrasion on the sealing edges. Material
abrasion will result in sharp-edged sealing contours and a damaged
seal.
• Check sealing contour for damage.
We recommend preparing a welding report.
6.7. Pressure/leak test
WARNING!
Danger of bursting.
Excess pressure can cause the hose to burst.
• Do not exceed specified pressure ranges (the see data sheet
BBS-04 Silicone hoses).
Risk of explosion.
Compressible media can cause explosions.
• Never perform pressure tests with compressible media (e.g. with
compressed air).

7. START-UP
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper operation!
Improper operation may result in injuries as well as damage to the
product and the surrounding area.
• Before start-up, ensure that the operating personnel are familiar
with and completely understand the contents of the operating
instructions.
• Observe the safety instructions and intended use.
• Only adequately trained personnel may start up the equipment/the
product.
• Following assembly, ensure a controlled restart.
• When starting up the equipment, ensure that no unauthorized voltage increases and pressure surges can occur.
NOTE!
Replace wearing parts in time
• The durability of the wearing parts is the responsibility of the plant
operator. Replacement of wearing parts in a timely manner must be
observed.
NOTE!
Dama
ge to the sealing elements when cleaning the system
.
• Clean the system preferably with a cleaning agent which does not
damage the sealing elements and silicone hoses.
• Do not clean with wire brushes or machines which cause abrasion
of the surface.
• When using mechanical pipeline monitoring devices, ensure
that they do not damage the sealing elements (also the sealing
contour).
Damaged sealing elements/hoses must be replaced.
To facilitate an absolutely sterile product cycle, the following points
have to be ensured:
• The sealing rings must be inserted.
• Metal supports must be absolutely clean.
• No damage to the sealing lips.
• The coupling must be tightened in a force-fitting manner.

8. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Danger – high pressure and discharge of medium!
• Before loosening the nuts or screws, always turn off the pressure
and relieve the lines.
• Wear protective equipment if media is hazardous.
• Nuts or screws may be retightened on pressurized lines only by
technicians in consideration of special precautions.
• When shutting down the equipment, ensure that no unauthorized
voltage increases and pressure surges can occur.
• Following maintenance, ensure a controlled restart.
Have the product serviced regularly by technicians!
All types of silicone hoses should be checked for damage and embrittlement after a deployment period of 6 months.
Inspection and maintenance work includes in particular monitoring and
ensuring the
• leak-tightness,
• identification,
• proper mode of operation of the safety and warning devices.
