i) These products have been specifically designed for use on steam, air or condensate/water, which
is in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). The products' use on
other fluids may be possible but, if this is contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted to
confirm the suitability of the product for the application being considered.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values.
If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which it
is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or
overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent such
over-limit situations.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.
iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced
by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these
stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
v) Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where
appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications.
1.2 Access
Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded) before attempting
to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required.
1.3 Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.
1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline
Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time. Consider:
flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature.
