Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation CAUTION Risk of shorter service life of the component due to incorrect assembly and use! Remove any rust or deposits from the weld-on ends before welding. Ensure that the component is stress-free during assembly (no flexion, tor- sion, traction or stress).
Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation / Preparing the installation Preparing the installation 4.1.1 As-delivered condition DANGER Life hazard from dropped loads or shifting of loads! Risk of injury and/or material damage due to incorrect installation or inappropriate equipment and devices for lifting or moving the load.
Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation / Preparing the installation 4.1.2 Inspection Procedure 1. Check the delivery notes to make sure that the delivery is complete. 2. If there are any discrepancies, contact Franz Schuck GmbH immediately. 3. Check the delivery immediately on receipt for damage incurred during trans- port.
Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation / Installation Installation CAUTION Damage to the component in the case of mechanical overloading! The component is not designed as fixed point/support of the pipeline. Extra support on the pipeline is required.
Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation / Installation 4.2.2 Installation Procedure Insulating joint – version with weld ends 1. The insulating joint is installed in the same way as the ones in the pipeline that is to be installed or welded.
Insulating joint SHD, SHDF, SHDFS, SHD-K, SHM Installation / Installation Insulating joint – version with socket screw threads 1. When installing insulating joints with socket screw threads, the pipeline counter pieces must be aligned concentrically. 2. An additional spark gap is not required due to the spark gap integrated here.
