INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
A. Read and follow all instructions contained in this manual before
installing, operating and maintaining this equipment. Failure to do so
could void the warranty, damage the equipment, or cause sever injury
or death.
B. Review Figure 2 for NGS 1000 scrubber component nomenclature.
Refer to Figure 3 for mounting dimensions and NGS scrubber general
arrangement. Install scrubber units only in vertical position shown.
C. Install the NGS 1000 scrubber using appropriate mounting hardware.
Optional (factory supplied) universal mounting brackets are available.
D. Relieve and block all pressure before installing, maintaining, or
dismantling the NGS 1000 scrubber.
E. Remove the NGS 1000 scrubber cover (Item 3). Carefully inspect the
spring (Item 6), the O-ring (Item 8), and the covering/housing threads.
Remove any dirt, contaminants or residue from the cover/housing
threads prior to final assembly.
F. Read the label on the FLO-DRI Natural Gas Cartridge (Item 2) then remove
the cartridge from the factory-sealed bag. Ensure the contents of the
FLO-DRI cartridge are never exposed to water.
G. Insert the FLO-DRI cartridge (Item 2) into the scrubber housing (Item 1).
To help with this process you may choose to insert a sheet of rolled
paper or transparency into the scrubber hosing (Item 1) prior to
inserting the FLO-DRI cartridge. Remember to remove the paper or
transparency once the NGS cartridge has been installed.
H. Re-install the NGS cover (Item 3) using a 3/4” wrench and ensure
the cover has completely bottomed out and there is zero gap
between the cover and housing. CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
the cover or thread damage may occur. Contact the factory if
threads are damaged, corroded, stripped or galled. Ensure O-ring
is not pinched/deformed and that is not displaced from
the groove - realign O-ring into groove if necessary; ensure no dirt,
chips or foreign matter is trapped.
I. Ensure all fittings are installed and sealed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications.
J. Verify that the drain cock (Item 7) is in the fully closed position
(clockwise hand tight) before pressurizing the system.
