Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid danger of burns. 1.9 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts. 1.10 Protective clothing Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face.
1.16 Returning products Customers and stockists are reminded that under EC Health, Safety and Environment Law, when returning products to Spirax Sarco they must provide information on any hazards and the precautions to be taken due to contamination residues or mechanical damage which may present a health, safety or environmental risk.

3.5 Permanent bleed BMRA and BXRA valves are normally closed. When used as a cooling control it may be necessary to create a permanent flow over the sensor. In this case this can be achieved by installing a small bore bypass around the valve as shown in Figure 2. A 6 mm line will usually be adequate with the manual valve about one turn open.
4. Maintenance Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. Warning The metal foil sheet used to reinforce gaskets is very thin and sharp. Care should be taken when handling to avoid the possibility of cuts or lacerations to fingers or hands. 4.1 Routine maintenance procedures 24 hours operation After 24 hours service check pipework connections and flange bolts for tightness.
