DANGER
Risk of extremely severe injury or death
due to burns, freezing or intoxication
during work on pipes.
Make sure that there is no hot or cold
fluid in the equipment or pipes.
Make sure that the equipment pipes
are not under pressure.
Make sure that the system is switched
off and secured so it cannot be turned
on by unauthorised persons.
Make sure that the equipment and
pipes are lukewarm.
Wear protective clothing that is
suitable for the fluid, and use suitable
personal protective equipment if
necessary.
Information on suitable protective clothing and PPE
can be found in the safety data sheet of the fluid
used.
Drain pipes until they are empty.
Switch the installation off and protect it against
unauthorised or unintended re-activation.
Connecting the equipment
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!
Equipment will be damaged if the end
connections are undersized.
Make sure that the connections are
strong and rigid enough to support the
weight of the equipment and to
withstand the forces that occur during
operation.
To allow easy access for routine servicing and
exchanging components observe the indicated
withdrawal distances and allow for clearances to
adjacent installation parts.
For more information see page 22.
Make sure that the pipe system of the plant is
clean.
Preferred installation of the equipment with the
strainer insert hanging downwards.
Other installation orientations of the
strainer are possible in exceptional cases.
Attention!
Any installation position where the strainer
insert does not point downwards may
impair the correct function of the
equipment.
Please consult the factory with
installation details if the equipment
cannot be installed in your installation
with the strainer hanging downwards.
Make sure that the equipment is free from
foreign matter.
Attention!
Welding might damage the membrane
regulator capsule.
Remove the membrane regulator
capsule before welding.
For more information see page 15.
Install the equipment in the desired, permitted
installation position.
