Installation Operations and Maintanence
Installation Instructions (continued)
Recommended Inlet and Outlet Piping
Grooved couplings are not included with the separator. Optional flanged
connections are available upon request.
7. Inlet pressure to the LAKOS Separator must be at least equal to or greater
than the anticipated pressure loss through the separator plus 15 psi (1 bar) plus
whatever downstream pressure is required.
8. Pressure gauges are required at both the inlet and outlet of the separator in
order to monitor pressure loss and proper flow. If separator operates with an
open discharge, a valve should be installed to create a back pressure of at least
5 psi (0.3 bar).
9. Winterizing is important if the LAKOS Separator is to remain idle in freezing
temperatures. Drain liquid as necessary to avoid expansion of water to ice and
related damage.
