11. Using the torque wrench and 15/16 in.
deep hex socket, turn each nut 1/8 turn
in the sequence shown here. When the
wrench clicks, this indicates that the set
force has been reached. DO NOT OVER
TORQUE. Evenness of torque is critical
to system performance.
NOTE
Depending on the results of the
Integrity Test, the torque may need
to be increased at intervals of 50
in-lb (5.6 Nm) up to a maximum of
550 in-lb (62 Nm).
12. Recheck the torque prior to use.
NOTE
If the filter holder is tightened in a
cold area and moved to a warmer
area, loosen the nuts entirely, let
the filter holder warm up, and then
retighten to prevent warping of the
end plates.

Manual Process-Scale Holder Installation
1. Loosen the nuts on the tie rods of the holder and remove the nuts, washers and
end plate.
2. Inspect the tie rods and nuts for signs of burrs or stripped threads. Replace any
damaged components. Nuts must turn freely on the tie rods to ensure proper
tightening of the holder.
3. Clean the manifold adapter plate (XXPEL3MAP) with an alcohol wipe.
4. Slide the manifold adapter plate onto the holder against the holder’s manifold plate,
with the solid light grey side labeled “Manifold Side” towards the manifold, and the
wings resting on the tie rods. Slide the manifold adapter plate directly up against the
stainless steel manifold.
