Ensure that the penstock sealing area is clean, and check that the flap swivels without any difficulty on the lugs of the body. ‐ If the penstock is to be installed on a flange, inspect the pipe and the installation flange, ensuring they are clean and the flange boreholes standard coincides with the penstock boreholes standard. ‐ If the penstock is to be wall‐mounted, inspect the wall to ensure it is clean and flat. ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED DURING ASSEMBLY When mounting the penstock, it is vitally important that the turning point of the flap (body lugs) are, whatever the type of attachment or ...
- Page 4 RETENTION PENSTOCK FL SERIES Since each of these penstocks is designed to comply with the operating conditions of each installation, there are several options to install the FL penstock. The most notable are the two most common options: one is bolted to an existing flange and the other is mounted on a wall and secured with anchors. Each of these options is described in detail below. To mount the penstock bolted to a flange (fig. 5), these steps should be followed: ‐ Position the penstock supported on the flange of the installation, checking that the boreholes coincide with the penstock body boreholes. ‐ After ensuring that the borehole coincides, remove the penstock from the flange. ‐ Clean the face of the flange where the penstock is to be mounted. ‐ Position a sealtight joint on the flange, in order to ensure there are no leakages to the outside where the flange and the penstock come together. The seal to be installed will be selected in line with the working conditions inside the line (temperature, pressure, type of fluid, etc). ‐ Check that the penstock, the inside of the body and, above all, the sealing area are clean. ...
- Page 5 RETENTION PENSTOCK FL SERIES In order to install the penstock mounted on a wall and secured using chemical or expansion anchors (fig. 6), these steps should be followed: ‐ Check that the wall is completely flat, otherwise the body may become deformed and produce irreparable damage when tightening the anchoring. ‐ Place the penstock on the wall, ensuring the passage of the penstock coincides with the wall ...
- Page 6 RETENTION PENSTOCK FL SERIES These are the most common attachment options, although, as mentioned on other occasions throughout this manual, the design of these FL penstocks is defined in accordance with the customer's requirements in each specific project. In consequence, if you require a different attachment option, contact CMO's technical sales department for a bespoke project in line with your needs. The penstock can be installed secured to a wall with anchors or bolted to a flange; in all cases the ...
- Page 7 RETENTION PENSTOCK FL SERIES Once the penstock has been installed, check that all bolts, nuts and anchorings have been correctly tightened. All CMO penstocks are tested at its facilities, although the penstock may have become damaged during transport or assembly. Once installed, it is very important to check that the penstock works correctly, making sure that the flap swivels on its turning point without any difficulty, that it sits perfectly on the seal when the penstock is closed, etc. If the penstock has electrical accessories or you are in an ATEX zone, earth connections must be made once the penstock is in place but before operating it. If you are in an ATEX zone, check the continuity between the different elements of the penstock (EN ...
