Operation

The Saf-T-Vise STV-LP1 and Saf-T-Vise STV-LP2 tool holders are hand insertable and retractable and do not require a
separate insertion and retraction tool .
Read instructions thoroughly before installing or using equipment . Contact your representative or factory customer service if
you have any questions . Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death .
Maintain a firm grip on the hand knob throughout the hand insertion & retraction procedures, and keep body away from the
travel path of the rod/shaft . An unsecured rod/shaft could move outwards forcefully, causing serious injury or death .

Insertion

1. Close and lock the process isolation valve to prevent incidental
opening while installing the unit .
2. Determine desired insertion depth .
a. Measure from the top of pipeline isolation valve to the desired
zone within the process .
 TIP
Tool compensation: Coupons are generally located ¼" from the bottom of the
process line, atomizers are located in the upper 1/3 of the line, and quills are
placed in the middle 1/3 of the process line .
b. Record measurement for use in step 3 .
3. Mark desired insertion depth on rod/shaft:
a. Loosen the locking collet bolt on the holder and insert the rod/shaft to
the fully inserted position .
b. Retract the rod/shaft until the desired insertion depth is achieved
(reference recorded measurement from step 2) . Desired insertion depth is
measured from the tip of the rod, compensating for attachment (see Tip),
to the bottom thread or flange of the body assembly .
c. Mark the rod/shaft with a permanent marker just above the locking
collet (above the NPT high pressure insertion tool/safety cap connecting
threads) .
