SAFETY CAPS AND ANODES

 

 

If anode installation differs from above - see enclosed drawings . 

 

(a)

 

Locate the anode positions, as indicated on the drawings 

(b)

 

Locate appropriate numbered anodes as marked on each anode. 

(c)

 

Clean mounting ring and gasket. 

(d)

 

Place anode on mounting ring and gasket and secure accordingly. (Use a torque setting of 100 

foot/pound). 

(e)

 

Secure anode cable in anode gland and connect the anode lead terminal to the junction box cable 

terminal with nut and bolt, making sure of a tight and clean electrical bond. 

(f)

 

Bind the connection with electrician's tape ensuring a water pzroof connection. 

(g)

 

Place the "O' ring in the groove around the lip of the safety cap. 

(h)

 

Screw on safety cap cover and tighten until secure. Use anti-seize compound on safety cap cover. 

 

When installing bent anodes or anodes exceeding 30 kg. use two nuts to secure anode hanging bolt.
