Ultraviolet (UV) Light Installation
The SP-Series UV unit is shipped with the UV lamp, quartz sleeve, fittings and O-rings and needs to be assembled
before the UV unit can be used.
1. Install the UV unit in a sheltered, well-ventilated area.
2. Install the UV unit as close as possible to the point-of-use to avoid potential contamination discharge from pipes,
fittings, etc.
3. The UV unit should be mounted on stable support to avoid straining or warping. Allow sufficient clearance
around the unit for servicing.
4. Verify the location is free from vibration.
5. All UV units are rated for maximum operating pressure at 50psig (8.24 bar).
6. The UV unit must be properly grounded for safe and proper operation. Failure to properly ground the UV unit
automatically voids all unit warranty.
7. Line voltage must be within 10.56V to 16.50V. Voltage outside the range will compromise the performance of
the UV unit.
Plumbing Requirements
All piping, tubes and hoses leading to the UV unit connection points must be leak-free!
Note: UV unit may be installed horizontally or vertically. For vertical installation, make sure the inlet port is
positioned at the bottom.
Note: Do not assemble or install damaged parts. Quartz sleeve and UV lamp are fragile and must be handled
with care.
Install Fittings
Perform this procedure to prepare the UV unit for installation.
1. Inspect each port and fitting to ensure threads are free of dirt, burrs and excessive nicks. If threads are badly
nicked, replace the fitting.
2.
Wrap 1/4” wide PTFE tape 2 to 3 turns counterclockwise around the male threads of the 1/4” fitting. Do not
wrap tape around the first thread.
3. Screw the fitting into cylinder ports to finger-tight position to achieve desired alignment.
4. Do not back off fitting. Do not overtighten fitting. Overtightening could strip the fitting threads and cause leak.
Install Quartz Sleeve
Perform this procedure only when water piping for UV unit is in place and ready for service.
1. Visually inspect quartz sleeve for cracks and damages.
2. Remove the four screws holding the ballast box cover and remove the cover.
3. Remove the rubber boot and pull out the 4-point lamp connector.
4. Remove the compression nuts.
5. Insert the close-end of the quartz sleeve into the cylinder through the ballast box pass -thru.
6.
Allowing 1/2” of the quartz sleeve to expose on
the viewport pass-thru.
7. Lubricate the tips of the quartz sleeve with clean water and insert new O-ring. Ensure the O-ring has all-round
contact with the cylinder pass-thru.
8. Tighten the compression nut while making sure the nut does not contact the quartz sleeve. Adjust O-ring position
as necessary. The compression nut should be snug and tight, do not over-torque.
9. Repeat Step 7 and 8 on the ballast box compression nut.
