As shown in figure 6, mount the cage by running equalizing lines between the cage connections and the vessel. A
shutoff or hand valve with a 1‐1/2 inch diameter or larger port should be installed in each of the equalizing lines. Also
install a drain between the cage and shutoff or hand valve whenever the bottom cage line has a fluid‐trapping low
point.
