3 Installation
3.1 General remarks
When installing the filter, keep in mind the following:
• Be sure that the piping is internally clean, especially downstream of the filter.
• When selecting the filter size, take care that the maximum flow capacity is not exceeded to make sure
that filtration performance and filter lifetime are guaranteed.
• Take into account the flow direction:
• The filters must be mounted vertically:
• If the unit is integrated in a multiple line system, provide isolating valves and (if required) a bypass.
• The automatic drain has a special connection allowing easy installation of a hose or a quick coupling
to pipe away the drained liquid. This drained liquid should be fed into a non-pressurized vessel or
drain pipe. In case two filters are installed next to each other, the drain pipe length per filter should be
at least 2 meters before connecting them together. The pipe diameter of the collector should be at least
twice the diameter of the pipes connected to the filter drain.
• Open and close isolating valves slowly, as a sudden pressure rise or pressure drop can cause
irreversible damage to the filter element.
