6.3 FT mechanisms (DN40 only)
Baffle arrangement used on FT43 and FT44 (horizontal only)
In line with our policy of continuous product improvement, we have found it beneficial to add
a baffle plate over the inlet port.
This eliminates any risk of flow from the inlet port affecting the correct operation of the float.
When fitting the mechanism, assemble the baffle plate supplied under the mechanism
retaining bolts.
The correct positioning is shown below.
6.4 FT mechanisms (DN50 only)
Baffle arrangement used on FT43 and FT44 (horizontal only)
When fitting the mechanism, assemble as follows:
1.
Remove two uppermost studs and replace with the longer studs provided.
2.
Assemble the mechanism over the four studs.
3.
Place the spacer collars then baffle plate over the longer studs so that the collars rest
on the back of the square flange.
4.
Replace the nuts and tighten as normal.
The correct assembly and positioning is shown below.
