3.13.1
Parts required for installation
The parts required to install the RTW remote threaded type seal will be defined here. Prior
to installation, you will need the following:
•
Torque wrench
•
Spanner wrench
•
Mounting hardware (Emerson-supplied)
•
Gasket (Emerson-supplied)
•
Thread sealant
Thread sealant must meet the requirements of the application. An example thread sealant
is PTFE tape.
Verify the gasket material is appropriate for the application.
Inspect bolts to ensure the material is compatible with industry standards per the
application such as ASME PCC-1.
3.13.2
Installation steps
Follow these steps to install the RTW remote threaded type seal on an existing threaded
process connection:
Procedure
1. Apply thread sealant to the male threaded end of the connection. This will be the
process connection if using a female threaded lower housing, or the remote seal
itself if using a male threaded lower housing.
2. Thread the lower housing to the process connection. The lower housing includes a
small hole designed for a spanner wrench to facilitate installation and applying the
required torque. The applied torque should comply with ANSI B1.20.1 for NPT
connections or applicable torque requirements for pipe connections.
3. Remove the protective cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal. Use extreme
caution during installation to ensure the diaphragm is not damaged.
4. Place the Emerson-supplied gasket into the groove of the lower housing.
5. Place the remote seal on top of the gasket ensuring alignment with the lower
housing groove.
WARNING
Failure to properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in
death or serious injury.
6. Install the bolts and hand-tighten.
7. Using a torque wrench on the bolt, tighten the assembly in a cross-pattern to
). The bolts should be torqued per
based on size and bolt material. Consider leak checking the installation to
ensure a robust connection.
