Quartz Sleeve Installation - Pentair BIOSHIELD CLP41A6-XN Installation And User Manual

4. Models equipped with inlet/outlet raised flanges require mating pipe flanges (not included). Depending on port type
ordered, further fabrication may be required by the installer.
5. 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 filtration loop
without shutting the total filtration 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.
6. 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. See "Quartz Sleeve Installation" below for details.
7. 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.
8. 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.

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 fre-
quent 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
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 such as Ideal Industries Clear Glide to the domed-end
of the quartz sleeve. Lubricating will aid in inserting the domed-end of the quartz sleeve into the vessel's internal
quartz sleeve coupler.
