SECTION I. FILTER INSTALLATION
1. The filter should be mounted on a level concrete slab. Position the filter so that instructions,
warnings and the pressure gauge are visible to the operator. It also should be positioned so
that the piping connections, control valve and drain port are convenient and accessible for
servicing and winterizing.

Make all plumbing connections in accordance with local plumbing and building codes. Filter
plumbing connections are provided with an O-ring seal. Use only a silicone base lubricant on the
O-rings. Do not use pipe joint compound, glue or solvent on the bulkhead connections.

The maximum working pressure of this filter is
excess of this amount, even when conducting hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above
can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and plumbing system, insure that the Maximum Pressure that the filtration
system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In most
cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.
This filter operates under pressure. When clamped properly and operated without air in the
circulating system, this filter will operate in a safe manner.
2.
The maximum working pressure of this filter is
excess of this amount
can cause the lid to be blown off, which can result in severe injury, death or property damage.
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when testing for external leaks of the
completed filtration and plumbing system, insure that the Maximum Pressure that the
filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT EXCEED THE
PRESSURE OF ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SYSTEM. In
most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on each component of the system.
If doubt exists as to the pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an
approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure Regulator in the circulation system for the
lowest working pressure of any of the components in the system.
3.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the filter is operating. Maintain your pressure
gauge in good working order.
