Individual Sections Assembly
See Figures 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3 for References.
1. Clean sections inside and out to remove dirt due
to shipping and handling.
2. Either left end section or right end section can be
positioned first. Left end section will be positioned
first for purposes of this instruction.
NOTICE:
Insulation between base and section
assembly is not used. A high temperature silicone
RTV will be used to seal base/section assembly
joint after sections are assembled on base. See
Step 22.
3. Verify the (4) drip shields,
Item 1
, are in place,
and remove tape used to hold the drip shields in
place during shipment.
4. Screw (2) 5/16-18 hex head bolts,
Item 2
, into
holes in base.
5. Place left end section,
Item 3
, onto base with slots
centered on bolts.
6. Tighten 5/16-18 nylon locking nuts and washers,
Item 4
, onto bolts.
7. Thoroughly clean nipples,
Item 5
, and nipple
ports with a de-greasing solvent.
8. Evenly coat nipples and nipple ports with
provided Loctite® 592.
9. Place nipples in nipple ports and bump carefully
with a wooden block to set.
10. Apply provided SIL-BOND RTV 6500 to flue way
joint. See Figure 5-1.
11. Place next section,
Item 6
, onto base as close to
left end section as possible aligning nipples to
nipple ports.
NOTICE:
Refer to Figure 6-3 for proper location
of intermediate section with and without riser
tappings.
12. Screw together enough 3/4-10 x 11" draw rod
using coupling nuts to pass through section
assemblies,
Items 3 and 6
, draw plates, washers
& nuts,
Item 7
, on both sides. Two draw rods are
required, one through upper nipple port and other
through lower nipple port.
13. Keep draw rod threads lubricated to reduce
friction which makes assembly easier.
14. Draw section assemblies together slowly and
evenly. Alternately tighten upper and lower draw
rods. Tighten each draw rod a little at a time
so sections are evenly spaced. Either base
assembly and/or section assemblies may require
adjusting to maintain nipple and nipple port
alignments.
15. Tighten until sections meet iron-to-iron. Small
gaps, typically less than 1/16”, between sections
after assembly are normal.
16. Repeat Steps 7 through 15 for remaining sections.
17. Screw (2) 5/16-18 hex head bolts through base
holes and section assembly slots on right side.
18. Tighten 5/16-18 nylon locking nuts and washers
onto bolts.
19. Place 3/8-16 tie rods,
Item 8
, through top lug
holes at upper and lower nipple ports.
20. Tighten 3/8-16 nut and washer,
Item 9
, onto each
end of a tie rod until hand tight. This will allow for
thermal expansion.
21. Repeat Steps 19 and 20 for bottom lug holes at
upper and lower nipple ports.
22. Remove draw rods.
23. Hydrostatically test section assembly.
NOTICE:
It is essential that hydrostatic testing
be done before sealing block to base (step
24) and before canopy, jacket, controls, and
piping are installed. See Hydro-Test Section for
procedure.
24. Apply provided SIL-BOND RTV 6500 to entire
perimeter of base/section assembly joint. See
Figure 6-2.
