Precautions

DO:

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions.
• Mount the shell on horizontal members at span “S” using compliant vessel supports furnished; shim saddles if required. Tighten hold down straps just snug.
• Align and center side ports with the manifold header; correct causes of misalignment.
• Use flexible type grooved-end pipe couplings (Victaulic® Style 77 or equal) at side ports; allow a full 0.125 inch gap between port and piping, and position piping to maximize flexibility of connection.
• Provide flexibility in and support for piping manifolds so that the vessel can grow in length under pressure without undue restraint; provide additional flexible joints in large pipes leading to the manifold header.
• Provide overpressure protection for the vessel set at not more than 105% of design pressure.
• Inspect end closures regularly; replace deteriorated components and correct causes of corrosion.
• Lubricate seals sparingly, using nonpetroleum based lubricants (e.g., Parker Super O-lube®, Glycerin, or suitable silicone-based lubricants).

DO NOT:

• Work on any component until first verifying that pressure is relieved from the vessel.
• Make rigid piping connections to ports or clamp the vessel in any way that resists growth of the fiberglass shell under pressure; for a length code –8 vessel, ∆DIA = 0.015 in. (0.4mm) and ∆L = 0.2 in. (6mm).
• Hang piping manifolds from ports or use the vessel in any way to support other components.
• Tighten Permeate Port connections more than one turn past hand tight.
• Operate the vessel without connecting both Permeate Ports internally to complete the set of elements or otherwise plug ports internally so that the external piping connection is not subjected to feed pressure.
• Install the Spacer on the downstream end of the vessel.
• Operate the vessel without the Thrust Cone installed downstream.
• Pressurize the vessel until double-checking to verify that the Locking Ring is in place and fully seated.
• Operate the vessel at pressure and temperature in excess of its rating.
• Operate the vessel with permeate pressure in excess of 125 psi at 190°F (0.86 MPa at 88°C).
• Tolerate leaks or allow end closures to be routinely wetted in any way.
• Operate outside the pH range 3-10.
