DISABLING A DAMAGED RISER TUBE
In the event of a riser getting damaged and leaking, it can easily be disabled, the leak
repaired, and the disabled riser attached to maintain the uniform appearance of the
panel.
A damaged riser is disabled using the repair kit in the box and the broken riser
itself.
Note: water does not run through the disabled riser. The purpose of the disabled riser is
once the leak is blocked by the repair pin to maintain the uniform appearance of the
panel.
Important:
Do not use a wider chisel than
¼
inch, as you might damage the adjacent risers
as you remove the damaged one.
2
Using a
¼
inch chisel, and holding the flat side of the
chisel towards the header, cut through the damaged riser,
as close as possible to the header. A round hole is created in
the manifold header.
1
Remove the stoppers from the panel and keep them
nearby.
Remove the two repair pins and rubber sleeves from the
plastic bag.
