Basic safety notes

4.1.1

Proper mounting

4.1.1.1

Process pressure

Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure. Observe possible pressure
limitation from the used flange type or in case of use of the sliding sleeve.
4.1.1.2

Chemical resistance against the medium

Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness) for
general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with chemical compatibility
charts before installing.
4.1.1.3

Fastening of the threaded process connection

Mounting torque for the thread may not exceed 40 Nm (metal thread)/ 20 Nm (plastic
thread). Use a open-end wrench. Do not fasten by turning the housing, as this will destroy
the device.

EHEDG approval/Food grade material

The materials are available for the use under normal and predictable applications (according
to Reg. (EC) No. 1935/2004). Other conditions can influence the safety.
