INSTALLATION

The Model FD-1F filter has two ½ FNPT connection ports and one ½ FNPT drain. The two ports are

located on the flange (3), one marked “IN” for upstream inlet, the other marked “OUT” for downstream

outlet. The drain connection is located in the bottom flat head (2) and can be connected to a drain line or

an optional drain valve can be installed.

The Model FD-1F filter should always be installed in a vertical orientation with the outlet and inlet ports

horizontal and topmost. To secure the filter unit in place use two mounting brackets. The first mounting

bracket should be positioned as high as possible on the narrow part of the neck flange (3). The second

mounting bracket should be positioned between 7" to 9" below the first bracket, as a removable clamp.

Remove shipping plugs from the ports. Connect line pressure to inlet port (marked "IN") and the exit line

to outlet port (marked "OUT"). The use of Teflon tape, thread compounds or sealants is permissible, but

should be applied sparingly to male pipe threads only. Remove test plug from drain to connect drain line

or optional blowout drain valve.

CAUTION: Do not allow foreign particles, Teflon tape or thread compound to enter ports. Do not

use excessive torque to tighten fittings in ports, use just enough torque to provide a leak-tight seal.

Before turning on main gas supply, ensure nuts on the cap of the filter are securely tightened.

Torque nuts to 50 ft-lb.

CAUTION: Filter operates under high internal pressure.
