The Twin-Flo III “Easy Connect” fl exible hose connection kit allows for easy installation of any ‘K’ Beacon/Morris Kickspace Heater in new
or retro-fi t construction situations.
This kit includes the following items:
(2) ½" (nominal) female bronze barbed hose connections.
(2) ½" (nominal) male bronze barbed hose connections.
(4) Constant tension hose clamps
(1) 10 ft length of ½" fl exible hose
Assembly Instructions:
Position the Kickspace Heater in its approximate installed location.
Locate the ½" supply and return lines for the Kickspace Heater.
Measure the distance from these lines to the supply and return coil connections on the Kickspace Heater. (If the distance is greater
than 10 ft., it will be necessary to extend the copper lines toward the unit or you may want to use 2 Easy Connect Kits.)
Cut the fl exible tube into 2 lengths, as required.
Solder the female ½" nom. brass barbed hose connections to the 2 ends of the heater coil tubes (the supply and return tubes).
Solder the male ½" nom. brass barbed hose connections to the source of the supply and return water.
With a pair of pliers, compress the hose clamps and slip on each of the fl exible hose about 4 inches.
Apply an amount of bio-degradable, non-toxic lubricant (like dish detergent) to the brass barb connections and press the fl exible tubing
onto the fi ttings all the way to the tapered shoulder.
Compress the hose clamps and slide them to within ¼ inch of the fl exible tube.
Once connection is made, secure the Kickspace Heater as instructed in its installation manual and start up heating system or pressurize
the system to check for any leaks.
It is recommended that 95/5 solder be used when installed with potable water heating systems.
