Care & Handling
:
Bayco drop elbows are tested at the factory and are in proper working
condition when shipped. Drop elbows are designed to be tough and to provide long
service with reasonable care and handling. To ensure long service Bayco elbows should
not be thrown, dropped or dragged; such actions may compromise the integrity and
reduce the service life of the product.
Inspect for Damage
:
Drop elbows can fail to operate if not properly maintained.
If the 6000 / 6200 / 6500 elbow develops any problems, remove from service and contact
your Bayco distributor describing the difficulty.
The distributor will provide further
instructions for repair and warranty of the product.
Elbows should be inspected monthly
. Check the main gasket seal, the sight glass, and
the flange where the base is attached to the elbow body for any signs of leakage. Change
seals if necessary. Check the sight glass for cracks or damage and replace if needed.
Check and tighten all fasteners periodically.
Lubricate the lever stem.
Check the
bushings and replace if cracked or worn, and change if required. Check operation as per
above.
Regularly Replace Bushings
:
All Bayco elbows contain polymer bushings, which protect
and extend service life of bronze locking arms.
The bushings are designed to wear
(instead of bronze arms) and should be replaced every few months. Operators must be
encouraged to inspect and replace polymer bushings to obtain maximum elbow
performance and longevity.
