1.6 Assembly – General Comments
As indicated previously, the individual components that will
comprisetheltrationsystemmayshipseparatelyandwillbe
required to be installed on site. The SAAF PORTA-Scrubber is
a self-contained product and, consequently, a minimum
amountofassemblyisrequired.Refertosection3.0,Installation
Instructions,ofthismanualforfurtherdetailedinstructions.
Consult with an experienced installer to obtain an accurate
estimate of the time, personnel, and equipment resources and
tools that will be required to complete the assembly and
installationoftheltersystem.Siteassemblywillbelimitedto
moving and lifting individual components, screwing components
together, and caulking. The PORTA-Scrubber weights and
dimensions can be found on the product drawings. Packages
of the chemical media will typically have a maximum weight of
approximately50pounds(23kg).Particulatelterswilltypically
weighlessthanthechemicalmedialters.
Completion of the following preparations and provision of the
followingitemswillbetheresponsibilityoftheinstallerorothers:
• Site preparation
• Connecting hardware for attaching inlet and outlet ducts
• Caulk, as required
•Inletandoutletducts,orothersheetmetalparts,asrequired
