Model LC10 Installation

Installation

Arm and Displacer (See Figure 1)

The Arm and Displacer are shipped in the box with the LC10 and will 
need to be attached before the LC10 is installed into a vessel. Thread 
the  Arm  into  the  Shaft  inside  the  LC10  Body.  This  can  be  done    
inserting  the  Arm  into  the  hole  in  the  end  of  the  LC10  Body  and   
pushing it in until it can be threaded into the hole in the Shaft located 
near the back of the Body.  The Shaft may need to be rotated slightly 
until  the  threaded  hole  is  aligned  to  the  front.  For  a  horizontal       
arrangement screw the Displacer directly onto the Arm. For a vertical 
arrangement,  attach  the  Arm  followed  by  the  Swivel  Assembly,  then 
add  the  Displacer.  If  vibration  is  a  concern,  Loctite  can  be  added  to 
the Arm threads before installation.  

Body

For  a  threaded  Body  verify  that  the  condition  of  the  threads  on  the 
vessel  and  the  LC10  are  undamaged  and  free  of  debris.  Apply  pipe 
compound or Teflon tape to the threads. Insert the Displacer and Arm 
into the vessel and thread the LC10 onto the vessel.  

For a flanged Body LC10 use the correct Gasket and bolts to connect 
the LC10 to the vessel. 

For a union connection be sure to put the Hammer Nut over the Body 
before  threading  the  LC10  Body  into  the  blind  flange.  Then  put  the 
blind flange  on the  end  of the Weld  Neck and thread on and tighten 
the Hammer Nut.

For any installation  make  sure that there is enough  clearance for the 
Arm  and  Displacer  to  move  freely  in  the  vessel  without  touching  the 
vessel sides or bottom.

Pilot/Switch (See Figure 3)

Connect low pressure supply gas to the LC10 Pilot. The 1/4 NPT Pilot 
connections can be found at the back of the LC10 Case.  CAUTION: 
Be  sure  not  to  exceed  the  pressure  range  of  the  Pilot  Gauges. 
Doing so can damage the  gauges and pilot.  The standard Gauges 
are 0

-

30 or 0

-

60 psi.

If  installing  an  LC10  with  an  Electric  Switch,  follow  the  proper       
electrical codes when making connections and installing conduit.  See 
Figure 2.
