5.3 Choice of location
The cylinder must be vertically floor mounted. Although location is not critical, the following points should be considered:
#
The cylinder should be sited to ensure minimum dead leg distances, particularly to the point of most frequent use.
#
Avoid siting where extreme cold temperatures will be experienced. All exposed pipe work should be insulated.
#
The discharge pipework from the safety valves must have minimum fall of 1:200 from the unit and terminate in a safe and visible
position.
