Installing the equipment with horizontal
direction of flow
DANGER
Incorrectly connected equipment can result
in accidents with extremely severe injuries
or death.

Make sure that only specialist
personnel connect the equipment to
the pipe.

Make sure that the direction of flow in
the pipe matches the flow direction
arrow on the equipment.

Make sure that the connected pipe
does not subject the body to any
stress (forces or torques) during
installation and operation.
Specialist personnel must have knowledge and
experience of the type of pipe connection used.
Attention!
If the installation position is incorrect
malfunctions may occur and/or the
equipment or the installation may get
damaged.
 Make sure that the equipment is
installed in the correct position.
 When installing the equipment make
sure that the eye bolt points upwards.
The correct position of installation is indicated by
the position of the eye bolt and the flow arrow on
the nameplate.
If the equipment is installed in a horizontal pipe the
eye bolts must point upwards.
If the equipment is installed in horizontal
position you can use the lower bolts as
support for the equipment.
 First insert the lower bolts through the holes in
the flange.
 Then insert the two lower bolts into the second
flange.

Put two commercially available gaskets that are
suitable for the pipe between the flanges.

Put the equipment between the gaskets.

Make sure that all component parts are in
central alignment with each other.
 Insert the upper bolts.
 Align the equipment so that the eye bolt points
upwards.
 Tighten the nuts on the bolts evenly.
The torque required for tightening the nuts
depends on the pipe.
