Fike P Installation Instructions Manual

WARNING
• Read these instructions carefully and completely
before attempting to unpack, install or service the
rupture disc and holder.
• Do not vent a rupture disc assembly to an area
where it would endanger personnel.
• Install the rupture disc assembly in such a way
that equipment in the area will not prevent rupture
disc from opening or be damaged by system dis-
charge.
INSPECTION/PREPARATION
A. NEW RUPTURE DISCS
WARNING: Always handle the rupture disc by its edges
only. Damage to the dome or seat area of the rupture
disc may adversely affect the performance of the rup-
ture disc. Read the rupture disc tag completely before
installing to confirm that the size, burst information,
and type are correct for your system.
1. Carefully remove the rupture disc from its packaging con-
tainer.
2. Remove and discard the shipping support (if provided).
Shipping supports have ORANGE STICKERS on them - they
are NOT a part of the rupture disc. (See Figure1)
SHIPPING SUPPORT ONLY.
DO NOT USE

PLHO and PLHOV users: DO NOT discard the clear plastic

unscrew the holddown nut and disassemble.

the base and holddown.
