1. Install the complete Flo-Tap assembly (fully retracted) onto the
isolation valve by threading the close nipple into the valve using the
proper thread sealant compound.
2. Rotate the Flo-Tap assembly until the flow arrow on the head aligns
with the direction of flow.
3. Ensure that the vent valves are closed before proceeding.
4. Quickly open and close the isolation valve to pressurize the 485
Annubar. During installation, there is a potential for leakage at the
packing. Use extreme caution if the flowing medium is steam or
caustic.
5. Check the entire installation for leakage. Tighten as required to
stop any connection from leaking. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until there
is no leakage
a. If Flo-Tap comes equipped with the gear drive option, place the
PVC protector rod assembly over the drive rods and attach to
gear drive with supplied hardware.
NOTE
Flo-Tap 485 Annubars have the potential to carry a large amount of
weight at a great distance from the piping, necessitating external
support. The support plate has threaded holes to assist in supporting
the 485 Annubar.
