Installation and Maintenance Instructions
Safe operation of these products can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed,
commissioned, used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) in compliance
with the operating instructions. General installation and safety instructions for pipeline and
plant construction, as well as the proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be

1.1 Intended use
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical
Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended use / application.
i)
The products have been specifically designed for use on steam, air or water/condensate.
The products' use on other fluids may be possible but, if this is contemplated, Spirax
Sarco should be contacted to confirm the suitability of the product for the application
being considered.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum
values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system
in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous

system to prevent such over-limit situations.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.

induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to
consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.

where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications.
