9.2.2
Flanged joints
Flanged joints exist where housing modules must be bolted together and
where accessories are bolted to the outer faces of the housing. In all cases, AAF will
provide sufficient tubes of sealant which must be applied to one of the opposing
faces just prior to the faces being brought together. When applying sealant be
careful to circle each bolt hole with the sealant. See also 9.2.4.
9.2.3
Products shipped as a single assembly
All units will be shipped upright with shipping legs installed. Careful lifting,
using the supplied lifting lugs, is required to lift the unit prior to lowering the unit
onto the pre-prepared foundation.
9.2.4
Products shipped in multiple modular assemblies
Where product is shipped with the main housings in multiple modular
assemblies, with the legs separate, proceed as follows:
Follow item 9.2.4.1 to pre-install the legs and then bring in the housing
modules, in turn bolting the first to its legs before bringing in the second.
Pre-apply the sealant to the flanges as 9.2.2 and then bolt the housings
together.
Install all the supplied bolts between housings loosely at first. Access to the
bolt holes is gained via the porthole covers and the inlet/outlet openings (remove
the covers). When all the bolts are loosely in position they must be tightened in a
sequence working from the center bolts towards the corners, radiating outwards in
opposite side in sequence so that the four corner bolts are last to be tightened. This
pulls the modules together with all the mating flanges flat against each other with
no bulges.
9.2.4.1
Leg structure
Assemble the leg structure onto the prepared foundations or steelwork using
the supplied GA drawing which shows the position of all the legs and cross braces.
Ensure all the nuts and bolts are tightened and the structure is mechanically sound
and secure, and level before proceeding to the next stage.
Anchors must comply with local code requirements and must be capable of
supporting dead, live, wind, seismic, and other applicable loads for the area the dust
collector is going to be installed.
