SECTION 3: INSTALLATION

Quartz Sleeve Installation

Purpose
To thermally protect the UV lamp and isolate it from
water.
Frequency
Quartz Sleeve(s) are installed after being inspected/
cleaned or damaged. Water quality conditions may
warrant more frequent inspection/cleaning. Fouled
quartz sleeves absorb UV light and therefore may
reduce the UV intensity.
Replace broken quartz sleeve(s).
Parts and Required Equipment
• Adjustable Wrench
• Cotton or Silicon Gloves
• Personal Protective Equipment
WARNING: If a sleeve nut is removed when there
is dynamic water pressure inside the UV system, the
lamp sleeve will eject from the end plate with enough
force to cause personal injury.
General risk due to electricity.
General risk due to pressurized piping or UV
Vessel.
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially
dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
Procedure
NOTE: Use clean cotton or silicon gloves when handling
the quartz sleeve(s). Skin oils absorb ultraviolet light
and reduce UV intensity.
1. Apply water (wet) or a small amount of water soluble
lubricant to the domed-end of the quartz sleeve.
Lubricating will aid in inserting the domed-end of the
quartz sleeve into the vessel's internal quartz sleeve
coupler.

2. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve(s) into the Quartz
Sleeve Faceplate's "Quartz Sleeve Module" (QSM)
until quartz sleeve stops (don't push down on quartz
sleeve).
3. Place quartz sleeve retaining nut with O-Ring inside,
onto the quartz sleeve.
Apply water or a small amount of water soluble
lubricant onto the end of the quartz sleeve, this will
act as a lubricant and will allow you to easily slide
the White Retaining Nut with O-Ring inside.
4. Thread and tighten the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut
onto the Quartz Sleeve Module the Quartz Sleeve
Retaining Nut's internal lip will set the quartz sleeve
in its proper position and the O-Ring will compress
to seal the water out.
6. Using the white retaining nut tightening tool included
with the UV system or a 1.5" socket or an adjustable
wrench, tighten the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut
until snug (5 ft. • lb.). Over-tightening can break the
Quartz Sleeve Module on the faceplate or the quartz
sleeve inside the UV vessel.
7. The quartz sleeve is now properly assembled; you
are now ready to perform a Water Test See Page 13.
