New analyzers have the sample lines connected to a mounting plate attached to the LSV's mounting
flange, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2. LSV CONNECTION METHODS, NEW ANALYZERS
You must take extreme care to avoid having the sample lines exert force on the sample connections
of the Liquid Sample Valve. For example, if stiff 1/4-inch tubing or heat-traced lines are bent into
position and attached to the valve, the force will cause premature failure of the valve stem and seals,
resulting in leakage. A loop of 1/8-inch tubing or a flex hose is recommended between the valve and
the sample line (this may be insulated if necessary). Figure 2-1 illustrates the incorrect and correct
connection methods.
It is important to use two wrenches when tightening the sample line connections to the sample
chamber, and when tightening the carrier fittings on the vaporizer. One wrench must be used to back
up the force applied to tighten the fitting (direct wrench force will bend the stem or the vaporizer).
To ensure the integrity of the components within the Liquid Sample Valve (LSV),
use the tools in LSV Tool Kit 791K009-1 when assembling or disassembling the
LSV.

EQUIPMENT MOUNTING

Depending on the configuration of the analyzer, it can weigh from 175 to 300
pounds. You should have one or more persons help you lift it and move it.
Unpack the analyzer near the installation site and move it with a transportation machine. Handle the
analyzer carefully so that it does not fall. For floor-mounted units, secure the Analyzer with anchor
bolts. Secure wall-mounted units appropriately. Refer to the Outline and Mounting Dimensions
drawing in the Data Package for specific mounting information.
