INSTALLATION
Please read and understand this document before installing the filter housing and accessories. Refer also to the
general safety information in Table 2.
Avoid subjecting the pressure equipment to external stresses.
Do not use the filter housing or accessories if there are signs of damage either to the
shell or sealing faces.
Ensure that connecting pipework is adequately supported, so as not to impose local
loads and vibrations onto the filter housing nozzles.
Check for any damage on receipt of the product; inform the supplier immediately of
any damage and await instructions whether to proceed.
Packaged filter housings should be stored in a dry environment.
Ensure the use of appropriate PPE during installation.
Ensure necessary and correct handling, assembly, tightening and checking of all joints
following installation and maintenance of the filter housing.
Ensure that no stray electrical currents are being transmitted to the filter housing that
may result in corrosion or perforation of metal parts; eliminate the source and /or
earth appropriately.
Perform a full system check before first use.
Filter housings may be heavy – follow site safety controls for manual or mechanical
handling to avoid harm.

Protect the installed equipment from mechanical damage that may impact the integrity of the pressure
envelope (i.e. physical barriers and appropriate warning signs).
b)
Ensure to check that the housing is not subject to vibration, thermal expansion and undue load on the
nozzles or connections.
c)
Use appropriate supports to prevent stresses and moments on the filter housing nozzles.
d)
Ensure the filter housing is installed in a location with adequate clearance to allow cartridge change
out.
