i) The product has been specifically designed for use on steam, air or condensate
which is in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive.
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.

name-plates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high
