STORAGE, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

STORAGE:

• PTFE Lined Pipes and Fittings must be stored in well ventilated warehouses.
• Keep away from all sources of Flame / Heat / Corrosive Vapours during storage.
• Keep Flange Face Protectors in place till pipes / fittings are installed.

INSTALLATION:

• Gaskets are not required between Piping components except, where they are connected to a Flange Face of other materials.
• Always tighten the Flange Bolts by using a "TORQUE WRENCH". Please ask for guidance tables. "DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN".
• DO NOT BEND, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER Lined Pipes / Fittings.
• No metal part of pipe / fitting should be used for electrical earthing.

MAINTENANCE:

• Avoid rough handling, do not drop from a height.
• Leave vent holes on metal pipes / fittings open when painting/ insulating.
• Use Expansion Joints for thermal expansion of long lengths of lined piping.
• Do not loosen bolts or remove sections while the system is above 65° C.
• Flange covers should be immediately put back on any sections removed for maintenance, from the system.
