Commissioning line pressure test

6.
If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure inside the
Senior to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and
repeat the leak test again.
7.
If after several attempts to contain the leakage, the leakage persists, call Daniel
Customer Service for assistance.
8.
Slowly release the pressure from the Senior until the pressure gauge reads zero (0) psig
by venting the Top (14) through the bleeder valve (10B).
9.
Close the slide valve by rotating the Slide Valve Shaft (5). Close the Equalizer Valve (1).
Open the Bleeder Valve (10B).
Steps 10 and 11are for the Seniors equipped with lubricated slide valves only. For Soft Seat
equipped Seniors, skip these steps.
10.
Once the valves are in position as described in step 9, remove the stem from the Grease
Gun (23) and insert a Daniel lubricant stick into the Grease Gun (23).
11.
Return the stem to the Grease Gun (23) and begin turning the stem by hand into the
Grease Gun (23) until resistance is felt.
PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD
When opening the bleeder valve (10B) or venting the Top (14) thru the bleeder valve (10B),
direct the released pressurized fluid and/or gas to safe area away from any individual in
accordance with local environment regulations.
The bleeder valve (10B) releases pressurized fluid that may cause contamination and/or
accumulation of volatile gas mixtures. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.
PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD
Using the Grease Gun (23), inject grease into the slide valve seat channels at a rate of 4 to 6 turns
per minute and only under the following conditions:
• Bleeder Valve is open.
• Sealing bar/Clamping bar is in place and tight.
Injection of the grease at a faster rate will lead to the separation of the valve strip from the valve
seat, resulting in release of pressurized fluid which may cause serious injury or death.
