NOTE: Do not bolt the skids to the housekeeping pad/fl oor until all of the
piping has been reassembled and tightened.
4. Ensure the skids are level and fl at before fastening the skids together with
the supplied bolts. The skids should be leveled front to back, side to side
and corner to corner. Failure to properly level the skids will result in piping
misalignment. A level or laser level should be used to verify skid alignment
(when a standard level is used, the length should be appropriate for the
skid). If assembling multi-component support stands, attach sections
using the supplied bolts through the tank frame mounting plates. These
should be hand tight until all of the piping is assembled. Note: skids are
leveled at the factory using a laser level.
5. Connect the piping between the skids by matching the union connections
and/or fl ange stamps and tightening. Refer to the mechanical drawing
as necessary to confi rm location of spool pieces etc. as the fl ange stamps
are shown on the drawing in hexagonal callouts. The fl ange stamps
should matched and aligned (the fl ange stamps should be directly across
from one another. Rotating a fl ange will result in piping misalignment).
Bolts should be hand tight until all of the piping is assembled. Refer to
the appropriate instructions to tighten the fl anges to the required torque
specifi cations. Support pipe runs as required.
6. Ensure that a low point drain is installed in the piping.
7. Connect the conduit runs between the skids and tighten conduit
connectors.
8. Locate the supplied wiring for the equipment and pull wiring through
the appropriate conduit runs. Electrical wires are labeled for easy landing.
Connect all wiring per the Fulton supplied electrical drawings.
9. If a header is supplied, mount the header as shown in the mechanical
drawing.

NOTE: For piping supplied in sections, make up and connect hand tight
until all sections are in place to ensure sections align properly. Sections are
match marked for reassembly.
10. Tighten all connections.
11. Pneumatically test the piping (at 15 psig [103 kPa]maximum) prior to fi lling
the systems.
12. Check bolts and connections for tightness after the fi rst heat up cycle.
Retorquing may be required.
