Inspecting Parts –
Plastic parts: Examine for cracking, softening or discoloring. This may indicate chemical attack of
the material. Defective parts must be replaced. Alternate materials may be required. Contact your
supplier or Pentair Water for assistance.
Metal parts: Check for corrosion, scratches, dents, cracks or other damage to shear ring and spiral
retaining ring.
Carefully inspect each component for any damage that could affect structural strength or sealing
properties. The following examples show some of the situations in which parts should be replaced.
•
End Plug - cracked, softened or distorted
•
Retaining Ring - chipped, scratched, corroded or bent
Refurbishing Shell -
1.
Using a fine wire brush, remove any large deposits from locking ring groove in the shell.
2. Using a medium or finer grade of ScotchBrite
vessel at least 4 inches in from each end.
3. Use clean water to rinse away all loosened deposits and soap residue.
4. Examine inside of vessel for scratches, gouges, or other imperfections that could prevent
proper sealing. If such areas exist and leaks are observed when the vessel is placed back in
service, the shell may need to be replaced.
Refurbishing Other Parts –
1. Remove any large deposits from metal parts using a wire brush.
2. Scrub the entire surface with medium grade ScotchBrite
removed.
3. Rinse parts clean with fresh water and dry.
4. Inspect all parts for serviceability as specified above.
Remaking Pipe Connection to End plug -
1. Use a wire brush to remove all foreign matter from threads on pipe fittings.
2. Apply non-hardening thread sealant or Teflon tape to fitting and install into end plug. Tighten
each fitting a maximum one quarter-turn past hand tight; the plastic end plug could be
damaged if fittings are over-tightened.
3. Fit end plug and retaining ring as described in Replacing the Elements section on page
6 and 7.
Part Replacement –
1.
Replace all parts that cannot be restored to as-new condition.
2.
Replace any parts showing signs of structural damage or corrosion.
CAUTION
