The following guidelines are intended to assist the installer, and should not obviate good working practices.
There are five different models of Carat available; 31, 44, 58, 71 and 84.
Beams are also supplied with support sleeves as standard, plus any
optional items as specified in the documentation (special colour,

Installation instruction Carat
Suspension
3 × 2 suspension points
for lengths > 3 m.
When connecting the chilled beam to the flow and return pipework, it is most important to fit the copper support sleeve to
ensure that the chilled beam connection pipes are not crushed during installation. Also, it must be remembered that con-
nections must be of a compression, push-fit or press-fit type. Connections to the chilled beam MUST NOT be soldered.
Ensure that allowance is made for possible expansion / contraction of the mains water pipework (using expansion loops
or bellows).
As standard, Carat is available in lengths from 1.8 m to 6.0 m, in steps of 0.1 m.

Installation
In order for Carat to deliver the stated cooling capacity it is important to maintain specified distances to the structural soffit,
walls and adjacent product.
The distances identified below are minimum acceptable, and vary dependant upon product width:
Aesthetic
The free-hanging chilled beam appears slightly different when viewed from different directions – this is due to the punched
cooling fins on the surface of the product. This difference of aesthetic should be considered when designing the connec-
tion position for each chilled beam. The diagram above illustrates that it is possible to have the cooling fins facing the same
direction, but with horizontal pipe connections at different ends.

Installation Procedure
Measure the distance between the suspension points and mount the chosen fixing to the roof. Put adjustable hangers or
threaded rod through the pre-drilled holes in the aluminium suspension bars / suspension brackets. Lift up the product
using the hangers and attach the hangers/rods to the soffit fixing. DO NOT lift the chilled beam from any position other
than the aluminium suspension bars or attached hangers.
Adjust the beams vertical position according to the diagram on page 4. If necessary shorten the hangers/rods to appro-
priate lengths.
Hangers / rods should be secured to ensure that they do not come loose from either the soffit fixing or the chilled beam.
Hangers should be secured by bending over the hanger end loops at either end, threaded rods by using 4 nuts for each
rod - above and below the soffit fixing and again above and below the aluminium bar / bracket. Don’t forget to tighten
your nuts.
It is important to remember to fit the copper support sleeves into the water connection pipes before connecting the com-
pression, press-fit or push-fit couplings. NOTE! DO NOT SOLDER! Ensure that allowance is made for possible expan-
sion / contraction of the mains water pipework (using expansion loops or bellows).
Where plastic connections or flexible hoses are used, it is important to ensure that these products are designed to be
resistant to oxygen penetration.
Ensure that the distribution pipework is flushed and cleaned in isolation of the chilled beam. Do not remove protective
pipe caps until just before connection to the flushed distribution pipework.
Handling
NEVER handle the product from the extreme edges or from the pipe tails.
ALWAYS handle the product from either the suspension bar, the pipe mani-
fold or the bottom of the ‘A’ profile. Take care not to damage cooling fins or
pipe tails.
