potentially damaging the quartz sleeves and UV
lamps.
2. Install inlet and outlet isolation valves (to be
supplied by others).
BIOSHIELD® Commercial UV Sterilizer Installation and User's Guide
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION
9
Vertical Installation
Vertical installation requires the bottom port to be
used as the vessel’s inlet and the port closest to
the electrical end to be used as the outlet; allowing
trapped air to escape. If installed on a “by-pass lter
loop” or isolated using valves, an automatic air bleed
system is required. Failure to remove trapped air
can result in rupture or heat damage to the vessel.
5. The UV System (models w/ diameters of 10” and
larger) may have been shipped without their quartz
sleeves installed in the vessel, please install now.
6. The vessel is equipped with a 0.5” female threaded
drain port for installation of the Drain Valve
Assembly. Use thread tape on the threads when
installing the drain valve assembly.
7. The vessel is equipped with various sensor ports
(UV Intensity and Water Temperature Sensors);
additional sensor ports may be included depending
on the model or options purchased with the UV
System. All sensor ports will be labeled on the
vessel based on their respective function. Use
thread tape on the threads to create a reliable seal
with all sensors. Sensors must be threaded into
their respective vessel ports prior to connection
to the power supply enclosure to avoid sensor
damage from cable twisting.
4. Isolation Valves are necessary for vessel removal and
chemical cleaning procedure. It is recommended
to install the isolation valves in conjunction with a
separate set of, matching size & type, water port
connections to the inlet/outlet ports of the vessel.
Adding the “double connection” will enable the
UV sterilizer to be removed from the ltration loop
without shutting the total ltration system down.
If this installation arrangement is not possible,
install the unit in a way that chemical cleaners or
freshwater rinse can be drained completely from
the vessel without contaminating the process
water.

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION
Quartz Sleeve Installation
Purpose
To thermally protect the UV lamp and isolate it from
water.
Frequency
Quartz Sleeve(s) are installed after being inspected/
cleaned or damaged. Water quality conditions may
warrant more frequent inspection/cleaning. Fouled
quartz sleeves absorb UV light and therefore may
reduce the UV intensity.
Replace broken quartz sleeve(s).
Parts and Required Equipment
• Quartz Sleeve(s)
• Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut Gasket
• Adjustable Wrench
• Cotton or Silicon Gloves
• Personal Safety Equipment
2. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve(s) into the Quartz
Sleeve Faceplate’s “Quartz Sleeve Module” (QSM)
allowing approximately 12” of the quartz sleeve to
remain outside the UV vessel.
3. With 12” of the quartz sleeve exposed outside the
vessel, carefully place the Quartz Sleeve Rubber
Gasket Seal onto the open-end of the quartz
sleeve.
Apply water or a small amount of water soluble
lubricant onto the end of the quartz sleeve, this will
act as a lubricant and will allow you to easily slide
the Rubber Gasket onto the quartz sleeve.
The rubber gasket should be ush with the end of
the quartz sleeve.
General risk due to electricity.
General risk due to pressurized piping or UV
Vessel.
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially
dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
NOTE: Use clean cotton or silicon gloves when
handling the quartz sleeve(s). Skin oils absorb
ultraviolet light and reduce UV intensity.
1. Apply water (wet) or a small amount of water
soluble lubricant to the domed-end of the quartz
sleeve. Lubricating will aid in inserting the domedend of the quartz sleeve into the vessel’s internal
quartz sleeve coupler.
4. As you push the quartz sleeve into the vessel
(through the Quartz Sleeve Module) elevate the
domed-end of the quartz sleeve by gently pushing
down on the open-end approximately 1/2”. This will
help guide the domed-end of the quartz sleeve into
its correct Internal Quartz Sleeve Coupler “Port”.
5. Finish sliding the remainder of the quartz sleeve
into the vessel until the gasket makes contact with
the Quartz Sleeve Module.
As you thread and tighten the Quartz Sleeve
Retaining Nut onto the Quartz Sleeve Module
the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut’s internal lip will
automatically set the quartz sleeve in its proper
position.
