- Page 4 RETENTION PENSTOCK - FL SERIES • Ensure that the sealtight joint between the flange and the penstock is correctly positioned. • After correctly positioning both the sealtight joint and the penstock, fasten the joining bolts. These bolts and nuts must be suitable for the operating conditions.

Whatever the type of installation, the position of the penstock is vertical.
- Page 7 RETENTION PENSTOCK - FL SERIES ACTUATOR These FL penstocks do not have an actuator system, but rather are automatic. It is the fluid which opens or closes the penstock. When the fluid comes from inside the pipe to the outside, it pushes on the flap which swivels on the turning point and opens the penstock.

RETENTION PENSTOCK - FL SERIES STORAGE To ensure the penstock is in optimum conditions of use after long periods of storage, we recommend storing it in a well-ventilated place at temperatures below 30ºC. It is not advisable, but, if stored outside, the penstock must be covered to protect it from heat and direct sunlight, with good ventilation to prevent humidity. - Page 11 RETENTION PENSTOCK - FL SERIES www.cmovalves.com NORTH AMERICA EUROPE ASIA MIDDLE EAST AFRICA AUSTRALIA & OCEANIA SOUTH AMERICA CMO HEADQUARTERS CMO MADRID MAIN OFFICES & FACTORY C/ Rumania, 5 - D5 (P.E.
