Installation
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the parts drawing. (See
page 5.)
1. Connect the inlet line to the inlet (A) on the side of
the filter.
2. Connect the outlet line to the outlet (B) on the bot-
tom of the filter.
NOTE: The 1/4 npt port in the cover of the filter can
remain plugged or be used for pressure gauges or spe-
cial fittings.
3. Some installations require electrical grounding of all
equipment. Follow your local electrical code.
4. Remove cover by loosening the cover eye-nuts (3).
Loosen the eye-nuts in the slotted corners so the
bolts swing down. Loosen the third eye-nut so the
top cover can swing open.
5. Put basket (2) into filter housing. Make sure the bas-
ket flange is seated firmly on top of the basket col-
lar.
6. Put bag into the bag basket. Be sure the filter bag
ring is seated firmly on top of the basket flange. For
best results, be sure the filter bag extends to the
bottom of the basket.
7. Make sure that the cover gasket groove is clean and
free of debris. Put in cover seal gasket (1).
NOTE: If the cover has ever been tightened down, the
cover seal gasket must be replaced.
8. Close cover and alternately tighten the three clamp
assemblies (by small increments) to a recom-
mended torque of 30-45 ft-lb (40-60 N•m).
Operation
Prior to turning on the flow to the inlet, check the
following:
1. Be sure a basket and filter bag (if applicable) are in
place. Clean or replace as necessary.
2. Be sure the filter cover is securely fastened to hous-
ing.
Slowly open the inlet line to approximately 25% of nor-
mal operational flow. When the filter is pressurized and
vented, slowly open outlet line valve until completely
open. Open inlet line to reach desired flow rate.
To prevent excessive drop through the filter, regularly
inspect the basket and filter bag. Monitor the differential
pressure through the filter to determine whether the bas-
ket or filter bag needs to be cleaned or replaced.
NOTICE
Inlet pressure must not exceed outlet pressure by
more than 15 psi (0.1 MPa, 1 bar). Operating the filter
with a high differential may cause filter bags to rupture,
causing damage to filter system and downstream
equipment.
