When the heat exchanger has connections on the moveable cover there are special piping

• The moveable cover is not fixed so it’s 

nozzles can withstand less loading than the 

nozzles on the fixed cover.

• The unit may be subject to re-tightening 

during service, therefore when attaching 

piping to the moveable cover you must 

allow for this difference

(approximately plus or minus 1% of final 

tightening dimension).

• The moveable cover goes backward for 

servicing. Use elbowed spool pieces for 

easy removal.
