The product listed below complies with the requirements of the mark when European Pressure Equipment Directive 97 / 23 / EC and carries the so required. It should be noted that products rated as 'SEP' are required by the Directive not to carry the mark. The product falls within the following Pressure Equipment Directive categories: Product Fig 18HP Group 1 Gases Group 2 Gases Group 1 Liquids Group 2 Liquids DN15 - DN25 3 SEP SEP SEP DN32 3 SEP 2 SEP DN40 - DN50 3 1 2 SEP i) This product has been specifically designed for use on air or water / condensate which is in Group 2 gases and liquids of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive. It can also be used on steam, air or water / condensate which is in Group 1 of the Pressure Equipment Directive. The products’ use on other fluids may be possible but, if this is contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted to confirm the suitability of the product for the application being considered. ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations. iii)Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. iv)Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them. v) Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications. 1.2 Access Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded) before attempting to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required. 2 IM-P162-04 ST Issue 1 1.3 Lighting Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required. 1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time. Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature. 1.5 Hazardous environment around the product Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases, extremes of temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g. during welding), excessive noise, moving machinery. 1.6 The system Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g. closing isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk? Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system shocks. 1.7 Pressure systems Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero. 1.8 Temperature Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid danger of burns. 1.9 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and / or consumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts. 1.10 Protective clothing Consider whether you and / or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high / low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face. 1.11 Permits to work All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person.

Installation Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. Referring to the installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation: 3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values.If the maximum operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted, ensure that a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation. 3.2 Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow. 3.3 Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications. 3.4 Strainers can be fitted on liquid or steam / gas systems in either horizontal pipework or vertical pipework where the flow is downward. In a horizontal line on steam / gases the strainer pocket should be in the horizontal plane as this reduces the possibility of waterhammer. On liquid systems the strainer pocket should point downwards. 3.5 The strainers may be lagged if required. 4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functional. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. 5. Operation Strainers are passive items and will prevent the onward movement of dirt and debris, which is larger than the holes in the screen. The pressure drop across the strainer will increase as the screen becomes blocked. Regular cleaning / blowdown is recommended to keep the screen clean. 6. Fault finding Symptom Possible cause Blocked screen No flow through strainer System is isolated Increased pressure drop across strainer Screen is blocked up 8 Remedy Clean or replace screen See Section 7.2 Check isolation valves Clean or replace screen See Section 7.2 IM-P162-04 ST Issue 1 Strainer installed on steam or gas Strainer installed on liquid Fig. 3 Flow IM-P162-04 ST Issue 1 Flow downwards 9 7. Maintenance Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. Warning The cover gasket contains a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause physical injury if not handled and disposed of carefully. 7.1 General information Before undertaking any maintenance on the strainer, it must be isolated from both the supply line and return line and any pressure allowed to safely normalise to atmosphere. The trap should then be allowed to cool. When reassembling, ensure that all joint faces are clean. 7.2 How to clean or replace the strainer screen: For identification of parts refer to Section 8 'Spare parts' - Remove the strainer cap (2) by undoing the cover nuts (6) from the cover studs (5). The number of bolts / nuts used will depend on the strainer size, material of construction and design rating. - - - - - Once the cap is removed the strainer screen (4) can be taken out. Refit the strainer cover (2) using 'Neverseize' compound on the cover studs and nuts (5 + 6) and tighten. Caution: Ensure that the cover nuts (6) are tightened equally before final torque is applied - See Table 1 for the recommended tightening torque. - Check for leaks. Clean the strainer screen (4) or replace with a new one. Reassemble the strainer screen (4) by pushing it into the recess of the cap (2). Always fit a new strainer cover gasket (3) ensuring the jointing faces are clean.
