2.17 Flanged Models FPD350.(H7/H8).E2 with Flanged End-Support Fitting (mounting types F3, F4)

Warning. Flanged models
supported in the process pipe at the Torbar tip as well as at
the entry point into the pipe, therefore they cannot be
'Hot-Tap' installed. Before drilling into the pipe, reduce the
pipe pressure to a safe level and remove all hazardous
material.
Install the Torbar as follows:
1. Install the flanged pipe fitting (stand-off) – see Section
2.18, page 24.
2. Measure exactly 180° around the pipe circumference and
mark the pipe.
3. Drill a 6 mm (0.24 in) pilot hole in the process pipe at the
marked position, then drill to the appropriate size – see
Table 2.10.

4. Referring to Fig. 2.15:
a. Fit isolation valve
b. Ensure 6 packing rings are located correctly inside

e. Insert the Torbar into packing gland
f. Turn the Torbar until the indentation marks on the
head are positioned downstream of the flow – see
Fig. 2.1, page 3.
g. Tighten the packing gland bolts
evenly until the packing gland is fully sealed,
ensuring the Torbar is able to slide through it.
h. Open isolation valve
Note. During step l, turn drive nuts
evenly to prevent binding.
i. Drawbolt retraction assembly only – turn each
H
drive-nut clockwise alternately until the Torbar
passes through isolation valve
from the hole on the opposite side of the process
pipe by:
FPD350.H7.E2 – 40 mm (1.6 in)
FPD350.H8.E2 – 65 mm (2.6 in)
When the Torbar is inserted fully, ensure drawbolts

and stop nuts

are Note. The gear retraction handle is supplied loose
and can be fitted to either side of the gears.
However, ensure the handle is fitted so that the
Torbar is inserted when the handle is turned
clockwise.
j. Geared retraction assembly only – turn the
integral handle clockwise until the Torbar protrudes
from the threaded fitting on the opposite side of the
process pipe by:
FPD350.H7.E2 – 40 mm (1.6 in)
FPD350.H8.E2 – 65 mm (2.6 in)
k. Position the flanged pipe fitting (stand-off)
the tip of the Torbar, ensuring the tip enters the end
support stub.
l. Refer to Section 2.18, Steps 3b and 3c on page 24
and tack-weld the flanged pipe fitting (stand-off)
in place.
m. Reverse step i (drawbolt retraction assembly) or step
j (geared retraction assembly) and retract the Torbar
by 100 mm (4.0 in).
n. Refer to Section 2.18, Steps 3d to 3g on page 24
and complete the installation of the flanged pipe
fitting (stand-off)
o. Repeat step i (drawbolt retraction assembly) or step
j (geared retraction assembly) to re-insert the Torbar
until the tip is within:
FPD350.H7.E2 – 40 mm (1.6 in)
FPD350.H8.E2 – 65 mm (2.6 in)
, to
of the face of the flange on the flanged pipe fitting

p. Position a gasket on the flanged end support flitting
M
, ensuring the integral support cup faces the tip
of the Torbar.
q. Fit the flanged end support flitting
pipe fitting (stand-off)
Torbar enters the support cup.
r. Drawbolt retraction assembly only – tighten lock
K
nuts
s. Fully tighten packing gland bolts
Torbar does not turn. Check for leaks.
5. Check the Torbar is installed correctly and aligned.
6. Pressurize the process pipe and check for leaks.
