Connecting the VLP to the Pipe Network
Inlet Pipes
The inlets in the pipe inlet manifold are designed to receive a standard pipe of 25 mm (1 in) OD.
A 25 mm to 1.050 inches adaptor to fit the pipe inlet manifold is included for all shipments to
USA.
Figure 13 - Pipe Adaptor
The design of the air inlet ports allow insertion of the sampling pipe to a depth of 15 mm. (0.60
in). This prevents the sampling pipes from damaging the flow sensors. While connecting the
detector to the pipe network:
•
Ensure a minimum length of 500 mm (19.7 in) of straight pipe before terminating the pipes
at the air inlet ports of the detector.
•
Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling air pipes, ensuring the pipes are free from
swarf.
•
Determine the Air Inlet Ports to be used. See Table 6 on page 22 for details.
•
Remove the plugs from
only
those Air Inlet Ports intended for use.
•
Insert the pipes into the pipe inlet(s) ensuring a firm fit.
Note:
DO NOT
glue the inlet pipes to the pipe inlet manifold.
When configuring the detector ensure that the correct pipes in use are selected.:
