Storage and Handling
Please take care when handling a packaged Andrews Flexistor. The unit is heavy and must only
be moved manually within safe working practices. If the unit is to be stored before installation, it
must be placed on a secure, level surface and in a dry, frost free environment.
Precautions to be carried out prior to commencement of work:
1. Tidy area ensuring there is safe access and egress to installation place, free from trip hazards.
2. Be aware of other people who may be in the area
3. Operate any machinery in accordance with training and operating instructions
4. Visually inspect the equipment prior to use, do not use damaged equipment.
5. Safe working practices are adopted for manual handling of appliances/parts
6. Correct PPE to be worn.
The Andrews Flexistor unit must be vertically floor mounted. It can be placed anywhere convenient
provided the discharge pipe(s) from its safety valves can be correctly installed. Areas that are
subject to freezing must be avoided. Ensure that the floor is level and of sufficient strength to
support the “full” weight of the unit when filled with water (refer to Table 5 for unit weights). Pipe
runs should be kept as short as possible for maximum economy. Access to associated controls,
immersion heaters and indirect controls should be possible for servicing and maintenance of the
system.
To aid installation, the Andrews Flexistor is provided with lifting points located at the top of the
unit. To access the lifting eyes please remove the red outlet gromett and the top cover. The
weights of the units are noted on Table 5.
