These instructions describe the installation of a free-standing sub-unit of a T-Rack® with a total of 12 modules
in two rows. The procedures and steps similarly apply to variants with fewer modules in two rows.
◼ In general, only inge® original parts are approved for installation of the T-Rack® series.
◼ The existing connecting pipework must be free of contaminants which can cause abrasion or
fouling.
◼ All coated frame parts must be treated with care. If the coatings should become damaged, they
must be resealed with a protective coating or exchanged.
Connecting of a sub-unit to an existing sub-unit is described in the next section:
→ 5.14.1 Assembly of Multiple Sub-Units to one T-Rack®
NOTE
The T-Rack® 3.0 is designed to allow expansion as well as
contraction and is therefore flexible. This is necessary to allow
differences in temperature and pressure. The maximum difference
between the length of a T-Rack® 3.0 in ‘as-built’ condition to the
length after pressurizing is about 2 mm per T-piece composite
coupling.
2 mm per
coupling
NOTE
The T-Rack® can contract further when the T-Rack® 3.0 is exposed
to pressures below atmospheric (vacuum). The T-Rack® 3.0 is not
designed for vacuum conditions.
NOTE
The T-Rack® 3.0 is designed with connection options on both sides.
If it is required to connect the T-Rack® 3.0 with pipework on both
sides, this pipework should be able to adjust to the full expansion
and contraction possibility of the T-Rack® 3.0. In installations where
both the bottom as well as the top feed headers of the T-Rack® 3.0
are connected to fixed pipework, a device for adjusting to expansion
and contraction can be omitted as long as the feed pressure is below
3 bar.
CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY!
Danger of injury due to physical strain.
▪ Determine the weight of the module in use!
▪ Always note the locally applicable maximum permissible load of
persons!
▪ Note the specified number of persons required!
To mount the module without a crane, calculate the number of persons required as follows.
1. Determine the transport weight of a module you are using from the
→ 3.3 Technical Data
2. Determine the maximum permissible load on a person from the locally applicable laws and safety
regulations.
3. Calculate the required number of persons required to lift a module by dividing the module transport
weight by the maximum permissible load per person.
Always use the calculated number of persons when a module needs to be lifted and placed on a connecting
brace. In our example configuration, a total of 3 persons was determined and specified. Always replace this
number by the number you actually determined yourself.
The total number of persons required is always one person more since when setting up modules 1 to 3, one
person must hold the already installed modules vertical while the others lift and position another module.
NOTE
CAUTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE!
If the tightening torques specified in these instructions are
exceeded, the system parts may become damaged and leaks may
occur during operation.
▪ Always adhere to the specified tightening torques!
NOTE
The 2’’ and 6’’ composite couplings should be tightened until the
contact surfaces of both coupling halves are flush and resting
against each other without a gap. These types of couplings do not
require a specific torque. The usual range of torque for the 2’’
coupling is 10-15 Nm, and 20-28 Nm for the 6’’ coupling.
For the entire setup of T-Rack® sub-units, only the following tools and devices are approved:
◼ Torque screwdriver (pneumatic or electric), provided that these can be used to reliably and
verifiably set the required torque (size 24)
◼ Open-end wrench or box-end wrench (sizes 17, 19, 24)
◼ Torque wrench (size 17, 19, 24)
◼ Hex key (size 5, 6)
◼ Torx screwdriver T 20
◼ Spirit level 2000 mm
◼ Spirit level 600 mm
◼ Try square 90°
◼ Glycerin (>97%)
NOTE
USE DISPOSABLE GLOVES!
Use disposable gloves to apply lubricant to the couplings and
gaskets.
NOTE
CAUTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Potential damage due to exposure to the weather or impermissible
temperatures.
Space Conditions
◼ Check the space conditions around the assembly area.
◼ Ensure that there is enough space to allow the T-Rack® to be installed, disassembled and
operated safely. A maintenance space of 80 cm in front of the T-Rack is required.
CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY!

Floor Characteristics
Ensure that the floor characteristics meet the following minimum requirements
◼ Level, smooth surface with the necessary strength
◼ Recommendation: gullies and drainage channels ensure adequate water drainage, e.g. when
emptying the T-Rack®s.
CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY!
Danger of injury and system damage due to exceeding the
maximum permissible floor load.
▪ Do not exceed the maximum permissible for load!
CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY!

◼ ends toward the T-Rack® with flange surfaces
If premanufactured collector pipes are used, e.g. "T-Rack® Manifolds" from inge GmbH, it is necessary to first
complete the connection pipework and then mount the T-Rack® 3.0.
The Flexi Kit from inge® can be used to compensate for small level differences. This Flexi
Kit is not part of the standard scope of supply but can be ordered optionally.
Step Activity
1 Check the connection pipework
a) Ensure that all pipes of the connecting pipework are secured in a stable and form-fitting
manner.
There must be no change in position and angle between the connection points and the
T-Rack®s during operation.
b) Check all specified connection dimensions for pipe distances, length offsets and angular offsets.
If the specified connection dimensions are not met, stop the mounting procedure of the
T-Rack® and adjust the connecting pipework.
Mounting may continue after the specified connection dimension tolerances have been met.
Step Activity
2 Lubricate the gaskets with glycerin
a) Remove the gaskets of the flexible composite couplings 6”.
b) Lubricate the gaskets with glycerin on the inside and outside.
