INSTALLATION
The following sections cover the positioning of the filter, installing the tank leg anchors, gauge panel, the control enclosure
and the filter/regulator, connecting the pneumatic actuator tubing, and adjusting the pneumatic actuator.
WARNING
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary for the installation and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual.
Safety glasses and safety shoes should be worn for all maintenance procedures. Exercise caution around pressurized air lines,
electrical hazards, and potentially slippery surfaces when wet.
Positioning the Filter
Position the filter using one of the following methods:
a. Use the two eye bolts to lift the filter into position.
b. Use a hand truck to position the filter.
Installing the Tank Anchors
WARNING
The FP Series RMF
filter is equipped with mounting anchors to secure it to the floor. Anchors must be installed per the manufacturer’s
instructions before attempting to lift the filter head (top plate). Failure to properly bolt the filter to the floor can result in bodily injury and
equipment damage.
Figure 2: Tank Anchor Installation Locations
1.
With the filter tank in its installed location, use a 0.5 inch carbide-tipped concrete drill bit to drill a 2.625 inch hole in
the floor. There should be 3 inches of depth from the top of the saddle base.
2.
Remove all concrete dust from the holes.
3.
Place the washers and nuts on the anchor.
4.
Insert the anchor through the floor base into the hole.
5.
Being careful not to damage the threads, hammer the anchor into the hole as far as it will go.
6.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for all six anchor locations.
7.
Tighten all six bolts to 60 lbf.-f (81 N-m).
NOTE
In order to conform with the ASCE 7-16 Seismic Design criteria, anchor bolts must be installed at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) from the
edge of a concrete pad that is more than 6 inches (15.2 cm) deep. Failure to follow these guidelines will compromise seismic integrity.
