flange standards and to ensure that the design rating and operation of the product are not compromised. Spirax Sarco will not be held responsible for any unapproved modification or consequential liability resulting in failure to observe these requirements.
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.
2. General product information 2.1 General description The products detailed are all baffle type separators used for the removal of entrained liquids in steam, compressed air and gas systems. We recommend the fitting of insulating jackets to improve the performance of the separator. Note: For additional product data see the following Technical Information Sheets.

The separators may be lagged if required. Important installation note for the S1, S2, S3, S12 and S13 separators: Install in a horizontal pipeline with the drain directly below. To ensure that any separated liquid is drained away quickly, a suitable liquid drainer or steam trap must be connected to the drain.

separator Isolation valve Strainer Float trap Fig. 7 3.6 Installation for the S7 and S8 Install in a horizontal pipeline with the drain directly below. All sizes are fitted with support brackets which can be used to minimise piping loads. Each bracket has two drilled holes. To ensure that any separated liquid is drained quickly, a suitable liquid drainer or steam trap must always be connected to the drain connection.

4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance, ensure that the system is fully functioning. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. Fig. 9 Heat transfer processes and valve protection Fig. 10 Compressed air distribution IM-P023-55 ST Issue 8...
5. Operation Separators are designed to gather together small droplets of entrained liquids and then separate them from the gas /vapour flow. The relatively heavy droplets impinge on the internal baffles and are then directed to the separator drain connection and removed from the system using a steam trap, or when used on air or gas distribution system, a liquid drainer.
Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. Warning There are no internal components that require maintenance. Fig. 12 S2, S3, S12 and S13 Fig. 11 S1 Support bracket Fig. 13 S5 and S6 Fig. 14 S7 and S8...
