Safe operation of this product can only be guaranteed if it is properly installed, commissioned,
used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) in compliance with the operating
instructions. General installation and safety instructions for pipeline and plant construction, as
well as the proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.
1.1 Intended use
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information
Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended use/application. Please note that these
products are out of the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).
i) This product has been specifically designed for use on compressed air, 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) 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.
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.
1.5 Hazardous environment around the product
Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases, extremes of
temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard and solvents.
1.6 The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g.
closing isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk?
Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of
controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in
a gradual way to avoid system shocks.
