UV STERILIZER INSTALLATION

The SP Series UV unit is shipped with the UV lamp, quartz
sleeve, fittings, and O-rings and need to be assembled
before the UV unit can be used.
1. Install the UV unit in a sheltered,
well ventilated area.
2. Install the UV unit as close as possible to the point-
of-use to avoid potential contamination discharge
from pipes, fittings, etc.
3. The UV unit should be mounted on stable support
to avoid straining or warping. Allow sufficient
clearance around the unit for servicing.
4. Verify the location is free from vibration.
5. All UV units are rated for maximum operating
pressure at 50 psig (8.24 bar).
6. The UV unit must be properly grounded for safe
and proper operation. Failure to properly ground
the UV unit automatically voids all unit warranty.
7. Line voltage must be within 10.56V to 16.50V.
Voltage outside the range will compromise the
performance of the UV unit.
Plumbing Requirements
All piping, tubes and hoses leading to the UV unit
connection points must be leak-free before the UV unit
can be installed.
NOTE: The UV unit may be installed
horizontally or vertically. For vertical
installation, make sure the inlet port is
positioned at the bottom.
Installation Procedure
NOTE: Do not assemble or install
damaged parts. Quartz sleeve and UV
lamp are fragile and must be handled
with care.
Install Fittings
Perform this procedure to prepare the UV unit for
installation.
1. Inspect each port and fitting to ensure threads are
free of dirt, burrs, and excessive nicks. If threads
are badly nicked, replace the fitting.

2. Wrap ¼ in (6.35 mm) wide PTFE tape 2 to 3 turns
counter-clockwise around the male threads of the
¼ in (6.35 mm) fitting.
Do not wrap tape around the first thread.
3. Screw the fitting into cylinder ports to finger tight
position to achieve desired alignment.
4. Do not back-off fitting. Do not over-tighten fitting.
Over-tightening could strip the fitting threads and
cause leak.

unit is in place and ready for service.
1. Visually inspect quartz sleeve for cracks and
damages.
2. Remove the four
screws holding the
ballast box cover
and remove the
cover.
3. Remove the
rubber boot. pull
out the 4-point
lamp connector.
4. Remove the compression nuts.
5. Insert the close-end
of the quartz sleeve
into the cylinder
through the ballast
box pass-thru.
6. Leave a ½ in
(12.7 mm) of the
quartz sleeve to
expose on the
viewport pass-thru.
