compatible with the fluid and application, and are within local
safety codes. Please contact Pall or an approved distributor if
further information is required.

Receipt of equipment
The filter housing, and any optional equipment, may be
packed individually if requested by the customer. Unpack
carefully and ensure optional items are not mislaid in
packaging to be discarded.
3
General sources of information
3.1 For dimensions, operating parameters, assembly/
element part number, ordering information, notes,
performance data and specifications refer to
M&EF310EN
3.2 Where under reasonably foreseeable conditions,
including external fires, the allowable limits could be
exceeded, suitable protective devices must be installed
by the customer within the connecting fluid system.
4
Installation of housing
4.1 The filter can be installed in any attitude, but for ease of
servicing, it is recommended that it be installed vertically
with the filter bowl pointing downwards.
4.2 The minimum clearance required for element removal is
150mm (6”).
4.3 Threaded differential pressure devices, when fitted,
must be torque tightened up to 38 ft/lb or 54 Nm.
Visual indicators should be clearly visible when
assembly is installed.
NOTE: The F310 head is supplied with either an unmachined
or one machined differential pressure warning port fitted with a
plastic shipping plug.
4.4 Mount the filter assembly in position using four
3/8”-16 UNC 2B (‘A’ ports) or M10 x 1.5 (‘C’ ports)
bolts in the holes on the head mounting pads. Torque
bolts to 9-19 ft/lb or 12-26 Nm.
4.5 Use a check valve downstream of the filter if there is a
possibility of reverse flow.
4.6 Install the filter housing using additional piping/valving
to allow complete filter assembly bypass if filter
maintenance is required without system shutdown.
This series is not available in a duplex or service
bypass configuration.
NOTE: Piping supports should be provided as close as is
practicable to the port connections in order to minimize
external loads. This filter assembly must not be electronically
isolated from the user’s earthing system. This filter assembly
must be earthed by connecting the user’s earthing system to
one of the inlet/outlet connections.
4.7 Connect lines or hoses to housing inlet and outlet ports.
NOTE: A painted filter housing is optional. The coating on the
filter housing is a suitable painting base. Mask the differential
pressure warning device and nameplate if fitted for painting.
4.8 Bleed filters. Open plug at top of filter (if fitted) one and a
half turns. Jog filter and fill filter until all air bleeds through,
then tighten the plug. Pressurize system fully and check
for leaks. If leaks occur, refer to paragraph 5.2.
CAUTION:
Maximum surge flow should not exceed 1.3 times normal
flow.
WARNING:
USE FITTINGS OR ADAPTORS COMPATIBLE WITH
SPECIFIED PORTS SUPPLIED. USE OF INCORRECT
FITTINGS OR ADAPTORS CAN CAUSE FILTER
HOUSING FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF
PRESSURE AND POSSIBLE SYSTEM FAILURE
OR PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION:
Reverse flow through filter element will cause damage.
CAUTION:
Failure to bleed the filter housing adequately will
increase the dissolved air content of the system fluid
which will shorten fluid life and may cause other
problems in the system.
CAUTION:
Never operate the filter unless the warning device port
is sealed.
