• With outdoor installation, it is advisable to install a protective roof to prevent rain from oxidising or damaging parts of the
device.
• According to the plant geometry, check the risk of an explosive mixture arising inside the piping;
• If the filter is installed near other devices or as part of an assembly, compatibility between the filter and these
devices must be evaluated beforehand;
• Provide a protection against impacts or accidental contacts if the device is accessible to unqualified personnel.
3.2 - INSTALLATION
• Assemble the device by screwing it, with the due seals, onto the plant with pipes and/or fittings whose threads are consistent
with the connection being attached.
• The filter can be installed in any position as long as the arrow, indicated on the body (3) of the appliance, faces the application;
• During installation, avoid debris or metal residues from getting into the device;
• To guarantee mechanical tension-free assembly, we recommend using compensating joints, which also adjust to the pipe's
thermal expansion;
• If the device is to be installed in a gas train, it is the installer's responsibility to provide suitable or correctly sized supports
to hold and secure the assembly. Never, for any reason whatsoever, leave the weight of the gas train only on the connections
(threaded or flanged) of the individual devices;
• In any case, following installation, check the tightness of the plant;
4.0 - FIRST START-UP
• Before start-up make sure that all of the instructions on the rating plate, including the direction of flow, are
observed;
• After having gradually pressurised the system, check the tightness and operation of the filter.
