User manual FIRSTLINE 1200A 7

[. . . ] Mount vessel using strap/saddle hardware provided and span recommended in the engineering drawing Do not over tighten the straps - vessel must be allowed to expand under operation Maximize the connection flexibility to allow for vessel growth under pressure Align the side ports with the system manifold, correcting any misalignment before final installation Provide overpressure protection in the system safety devices Inspect end caps regularly for signs of corrosion. Immediate corrective action and/or replacement are recommended in case of corrosion. Relieve system pressure before working on the vessel Do not attempt to over-tighten the Permeate Port connections as this may damage the end cap. One turn past hand tight should be sufficient. [. . . ] These head removal tools are expressly designed for the purpose and have proven to be an effective and easy way to remove the vessel head without causing any damage to the vessel. FIRST LINE head removal tools Alternative Head Removal - It is possible to remove the head assembly without the FIRST LINE head removal tools.

Pull the pipe outward to remove the head. If the vessel has been in operation for an extended time, a slight rocking motion or forceful tug may be required to break the head seal bond. Also, a handle at the end of the pipe will ease head removal - forming a T with the pipe that threads into the permeate port. Head Installation Step 1 Install Head - Hold the head assembly, square to the axis of the vessel. Push firmly until the head is correctly positioned and the retaining groove is visible. It may be necessary to use a rubber mallet to tap the head into its engaged position. The thrust cone must be installed with the head at the feed water side of the vessel. * Side with larger outer diameter of thrust ring should be connected with the membrane, side with smaller outer diameter of thrust ring should be connected with the end plate Step 2 Install Locking Kit Segments - Clean and dry the retaining groove. Position the first locking segment so that the end section sits in the retaining groove and the screw aligns with one of the threaded openings in the bearing plate. Use an M6 hex wrench to tighten the screw until snug. Do not over-tighten - maximum torque guideline: 10Nm. Install the two other segments in the same manner. Conduct a final tightness check of each screw after all three segments are installed. Step 3 Reconnect Permeate Piping - Reconnect the system permeate piping to the permeate port. Step 4 Conduct Pre-Pressurization Inspection - A thorough pre-pressurization inspection should be conducted, including verifying that the heads are properly installed, system piping connections are in place, elements are installed, adapters are installed, and thrust cone is installed at downstream end of the vessel. Step 5 Pressurize System Step 6 Inspect for Leaks - All connections should be free from leaks. Do not operate leaking vessels. Piping and Mounting Recommendations  Use two flexible Victaulic™ connections with an intermediate section of pipe when possible.
