Installation instructions

Step 5 Push-fit fittings only

Thank you for purchasing your Liff Limebeater.
Following the installation instructions below will
ensure this product performs as specified.

There are eight Limebeater models: LBC2-15V2,

LBC2-22V2, LBC28, LBC35, LBC42, LBC54 and LBP2-15,
LBP2-22. The Numerals after the LBC and LBP indicate the
size of pipe fitting connections supplied.

Step 1

Turn off the water feeding the section of the pipe where you
wish to install the Limebeater.

Step 2

Drain the pipe-work if required.

Step 3

Select a suitable section of straight pipe and using the
Limebeater body as a measure cut out a piece of pipe.
Cut the pipe square, ensuring it is free of score marks,
burrs and sharp edges. Support Limebeater either side of
installation with appropriate brackets.

1. Gently push both ends of the existing pipework into the
Limebeater body until it touches the internal stops. The
collet has stainless steel teeth which grip the pipe whilst
the ‘0’ ring provides a leak-proof seal.

2. At this point the connection is gripped but not sealed. Pull
the pipe to check it is secure, which also makes the seal.

Note:

Do not insert fingers into fitting as the stainless steel teeth
incorporated within the collet may cause injury.

Step 6 Disconnecting a fitting

1. Ensure system is depressurised before removing fitting.

2. Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With

the collet held in this position, the pipe can be easily
removed. The fitting can then be re-used.

Step 7

Installing isolating valves either side of the Limebeater
will facilitate the easy removal and replacement of the
Limebeater should the need arise. Please remember that the
pipe work either side of the Limebeater must be supported
by bracketing.

Step 4 Compression fittings only

1. With the section of pipe removed, unscrew the nuts and

remove the olives from either end of the Limebeater and
slide them onto either end of the remaining pipework.

2. Ease pipe apart and insert Limebeater between cut
sections of pipe.

3. Push each end of the existing pipework into the
Limebeater body until it is touching the internal stop.

4. Tighten up the nuts to make a water tight seal on
the olives.

Step 8

Turn the water back on and check for leaks.

NB. When fitting a Limebeater product, please ensure that
your installation complies with local plumbing codes and
practices.

Do not use a wrench or stilsons on the Limebeater
body as this will damage the casing.
