FILTERS AND MOISTURE SEPARATORS SECTION 2

2.5 INSTALLATION
(ALL EXCEPT FW)
1. For optimum performance, connections must
be sized to fit inlet and outlet piping.
2. Cut the air supply and discharge of air.
3. Adjust the filter height so that drain accesso-
ries (such as timer drain or external drains)
can be fitted and the bowl can still be
removed.
4. The filters must be mounted in a vertical
position.
5. Connect the housing to the Pipeline. Pay
attention to the arrow indicating airflow direc-
tion.
6. Check the filter head and bowl and make
sure that they are connected and tightened
properly.
7. Connect the system to the air supply and
then check the connections under pressure
for any air leaks.
2.6 LIFTING
1. Lift and/or handle filter only in full compliance
with OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 subpart
N.
2. Inspect points of attachment for cracked
welds and for cracked, bent, corroded or oth-
erwise degraded members and for loose
bolts or nuts prior to lifting.
3. Make sure entire lifting, rigging and support-
ing structure has been inspected, is in
good conditions and has a rated capacity of
at least the weight of the filter system. If you
are unsure of the weight, then weigh filter
before lifting.
4. Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety
latch or equivalent, and is fully engaged
and latched on the bail or slings.
5. Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent
twisting or swinging of the filter once it has
been lifted clear of the ground.
6. Keep all personnel out from under and away
from the filter whenever it is suspended. G.
Lift filter no higher than necessary.
7. Keep lift operator in constant attendance
whenever filter is suspended.
2.7 FW (WELDED FLANGE
FILTER) LOCATION
The FW and Mist Eliminators are large and heavy
free standing filters. It is strongly recommended that
these filters are installed on the floor with their weight
supported by the stands provided. All other models
are inline filters. The filter should be located in a
pipeline that is level and strong enough to support its
total weight. Pipe supports are recommended within
5 ft of each side of the filter if it is not otherwise
supported.
2.8 SERVICE AIR PIPING
Direction of airflow is critical to filter performance.
Please follow air flow directional arrows and/or inlet
and outlet decals. Filters will not operate correctly if
installed backwards. Provide sufficient space above
or below the unit (as applicable) to remove filter
element(s). Refer to general arrangement drawings
for required clearance.
Compressed air piping
should be at least of equal size to that furnished on
the inlet and outlet ports with block and bypass
valves to permit isolation of the unit for servicing and
element replacement.
WARNING
Pressure vessel MUST be installed accord-
ing to ASME as well as applicable local/
state codes. Failure to install properly may
cause danger or injury to persons or dam-
age to property.
