1.
Remove any motors or accessories shipped in the cold water basin. Rig the basin section. The rigging hook must be placed
above the section’s center of gravity as detailed in
Figure 1
and
Figure 2
.
2.
Wipe down the flanges with acetone to remove dirt or moisture which may have accumulated during shipment and storage.
3.
Install sealer tape on the mating flange of the bottom section to ensure an airtight seal between the top and bottom section.
Install flat butyl sealer tape (BAC part #554000) supplied with the unit, on the mating flanges of the lower section in a
continuous line. At each corner, allow 1” overlap. See
Figure 3

Lower the flexible connection on the pump discharge piping below the elevation of the lower section before rigging the coil
casing section.
5.
Lower the upper section (coil casing and mechanical) until it is hovering 2-6” above the lower section.
6.
Insert drift pins per
Figure 4
. Start at the corner hole and skip every 3 or 4 holes along the length of the unit, inserting drift pins
to align the coil casing section and the lower section holes. Repeat this process on the other side.
