Recommended Spare Parts

The crimp openings in Enardo™ detonation flame 

arrestors are relatively large and are therefore quite 

easy to clean. Plugging will normally be limited to the 

flame cell and screen that are installed at the inlet side 

of the arrestor’s element assembly. If plugging should 

occur, the plugged flame cell(s) and screen(s) can be 

cleaned as detailed above, reinstalled and used again, 

provided there is no damage and not plugged to an 

extent that cleaning is not effective. For installations 

with dirty process conditions where frequent 

maintenance is necessary, it is recommended that the 

user purchase a spare element assembly and several 

spare element gaskets. The spare element assembly 

can be installed immediately and the dirty assembly 

can then be cleaned and be stored as a spare for the 

next maintenance interval.

Note

Element gaskets must be replaced each 

time the cell assembly is loosened and 

removed. Gasket must be made from 

high temperature graphite material. It is 

recommended that replacement gaskets 

be ordered from Emerson.

Parts Ordering

When corresponding with your local Sales Office 

about this equipment, always reference the equipment 

serial number and model number stamped on 

the nameplate.

3.  Assemble the nuts to the studs such that the 

amount of thread extending outboard beyond the 

nut is approximately equal on both ends.

4. 

Tighten the nuts to the torque values shown in 

Table 10 following the designated sequence, 

repeating he sequence as shown. Flange pattern 

tightening sequences are shown in Figure 6.

Bolt Lubrication

Lubrication will affect required torque of clean 

fasteners in good condition more than any other factor. 

In fact, 90% of applied torque goes to overcome 

friction while only 10% actually stretches the bolt. 

Table 10 assumes that only factory polymer coating is 

used for alloy steel fasteners and machine oil is used 

for stainless steel fasteners as a lubricant. Table 9 

shows a list of several common lubricants and their 

effect on torque required to stretch bolts to 50% of 

their yield strength. Most are available from local 

bearing distributors.
