Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
