VIEWS SHOWN WITH MODEL 88 FLUSH 

BUT SIMILAR FOR THE 851 FLUSH

CAUTION –  The Model 851F is shipped with a 
Protective cover over the flush diaphragm. Do 
not damage the diaphragm after removing the 
cover. 

To install the Model 851F, the adapter coupling 
must be welded to the customer’s pipe @ pipe 
flange, or 

o

ther fitting. Figure 2-3 shows some 

suggested installations and lists suggested pipe 
sizes, wall and flange thicknesses and hole 
sizes. The installation procedure is as follows:

1. Cut hole for adaptor coupling.

2. Thread plug into the coupling (Figure 2-3)

until it bottoms. Do not use the gasket.

3. Position the coupling so that the inside face

is approximately flush with the inside
surface of the customer’s pressure vessel
and tack weld the coupling to hold in place.

4. With the plug still in the coupling, weld a

1/8” fillet all around the coupling. The plug
minimizes the distortion of the coupling
due to the welding operation.

5. Remove the plug.

6. Install the gasket into the coupling (Figure

2-3). Insert the Model 851F into the
coupling by screwing the threaded retainer
(part of the Model 851F) into the coupling
until the gasket just starts to compress.
Tighten the retainer another 1/6 revolution
(one hex flat).
