Pentair 80E User Manual page 33

1. Place mounting straps over vessel with plastic strip against vessel.
2. Position screw through the frame mounting holes into strap nuts and run up to the frame
finger tight.
3. Connect vessel feed piping (See Piping Recommendations for more info)
4. Using a wrench, tighten mounting bolts one additional full turn. This should result in 25-50 lbs-
in. of torque.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
The following are suggested guidelines to ensure that the vessel is allowed to expand and is
easily serviced:
1. Support the header independently; support the branch with the header and the vessel.
2. Include an expansion loop in the branch connection to allow for:
Elastic growth in vessel length
A.
Thermal growth in vessel length
B.
Sagging of the vessel (which can occur even when supported at recommended span)
C.
3. The recommended branch connection is a U-bend pipe with flexible connections at each end,
or a flexible hose.
4. The total weight of the branch connection and fittings should not exceed 16 lbs. for
feed/concentrate and 8lbs. for permeate port for 80E Series vessels.
MOUNTING SHELL & PIPING CONNECTION
To avoid damage to vessel shell,
DO NOT over-tighten mounting nuts.
CodeLine straps are designed to secure the vessels during
operation. They are not designed to handle all loads that
might occur during shipment. Appropriate vessel restraint
should be employed considering such factors as the mode
of shipment, distance to be traveled and design of the
system.
The vessels and frame should be blocked to prevent any
differential movement which could be caused by the forces
experienced during shipment.
