SECTION II
INSTALLATION AND HOOK-UP
2.1 Mechanical Hook-Up and Orientation
The positioning of the filter tank should be determined by the disposal of
waste water, and it should allow easy access and removal of filter element.
(A minimum of three feet of clearance to the rear is required for OBF3-P and
a minimum of four feet of clearance to the rear is required for OBF4-P)
The location of the flushing
valve should provide for
maximum unobstructed air
discharge from the valve
bonnet; this eliminates valve
chatter during closing. The
tank can rest on the inlet/outlet
nipples or can bc mounted on a stand if desired
.
If two or more filters are required, it is recommended that they be manifolded
with stainless steel manifolds above ground or PVC below ground and
connected with 3"diameter risers extending above ground.
Assuming the filters are installed on a horizontal plane, the flushing valve
is to be installed on the 2" diameter backflush nipple with the arrow pointing
downstream and the bonnet pointing skyward.
When using the electronic controller model, mount solenoid on flushing valve
and mount electronic controller in close proximity to the solenoid valve. The
solenoid should be mounted in a vertical and upright position to reduce the
possibility of contamination by foreign material.
