SECTION 3: INSTALLATION

Quartz Sleeve Installation

Purpose
To thermally protect the UV lamp and isolate it from
water.
Frequency
Quartz Sleeve(s) are installed after being inspected/
cleaned or damaged. Water quality conditions may
warrant more frequent inspection/cleaning. Fouled
quartz sleeves absorb UV light and therefore may
reduce the UV intensity.
Replace broken quartz sleeve(s).
Parts and Required Equipment
• Quartz Sleeve(s)
• Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut Gasket
• Adjustable Wrench
• Cotton or Silicon Gloves
• Personal Safety Equipment
General risk due to electricity.
General risk due to pressurized piping or UV
Vessel.
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially
dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
NOTE: Use clean cotton or silicon gloves when
handling the quartz sleeve(s). Skin oils absorb
ultraviolet light and reduce UV intensity.
1. Apply water (wet) or a small amount of water
soluble lubricant to the domed-end of the quartz
sleeve. Lubricating will aid in inserting the domed-
end of the quartz sleeve into the vessel's internal
quartz sleeve coupler.

2. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve(s) into the Quartz
Sleeve Faceplate's "Quartz Sleeve Module" (QSM)
allowing approximately 12" of the quartz sleeve to
remain outside the UV vessel.
3. With 12" of the quartz sleeve exposed outside the
vessel, carefully place the Quartz Sleeve Rubber
Gasket Seal onto the open-end of the quartz
sleeve.
Apply water or a small amount of water soluble
lubricant onto the end of the quartz sleeve, this will
act as a lubricant and will allow you to easily slide
the Rubber Gasket onto the quartz sleeve.
The rubber gasket should be flush with the end of
the quartz sleeve.
4. As you push the quartz sleeve into the vessel
(through the Quartz Sleeve Module) elevate the
domed-end of the quartz sleeve by gently pushing
down on the open-end approximately 1/2". This will
help guide the domed-end of the quartz sleeve into
its correct Internal Quartz Sleeve Coupler "Port".
5. Finish sliding the remainder of the quartz sleeve
into the vessel until the gasket makes contact with
the Quartz Sleeve Module.
As you thread and tighten the Quartz Sleeve
Retaining Nut onto the Quartz Sleeve Module
the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut's internal lip will
automatically set the quartz sleeve in its proper
position.
