Place components in shallow container of soapy water and scrub entire surface with ® medium grade Scotchbrite until all corrosion is removed.
  • Page 26 Excessive lubricant may foul the membrane. Do not use petroleum-based lubricant. NOTE It is recommended that all seals must be replaced each time the head is assembled. A seal replacement kit is available from Pentair Water. NOTE Lubricate seals using non-petroleum based lubricants, i.e Parker Super O-Lube ®...
  • Page 27 STEP 3 ASSEMBLE THE BEARING PLATE AND SEALING PLATE. Fit the Bearing Plate over the smaller diameter end of the Permeate port and press to fully seat against the sealing plate. The Bearing Plate side with slightly smaller diameter should face the Sealing Plate. When installed correctly, the smallest outside diameter and the danger label should face outward.

  • Page 28: Preventive Maintenance

    PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Corrosion prevention is essential for the maintenance of safe operating conditions and to ease membrane element servicing. Attention to the points listed below will enhance long-term safe operation and will ease servicing. For suggestions on cleaning corrosion deposits from the vessel inside surface, refer to Closing Vessel.

  • Page 29: Trouble Shooting

    Do not use a wire brush on components made from plastic, fiber glass or PVC materials NOTE Recommendations listed below are intended only as a guide. If the head assembly is still difficult to remove after all recommendations have been followed call Pentair water for technical assistance CAUTION When applying penetrating fluid, be careful to avoid element contamination.
  • Page 30 2. Jacking screws cannot be threaded through the securing ring due to excessive corrosion or damage. A. Clean any corrosion from the Jacking screw holes and thread a 5/16-18 bottoming tap into the hole. B. If the securing ring still does not break lose repeat step 1. CAUTION When applying penetrating fluid, be careful to avoid element contamination.

  • Page 34: Handling And Receiving

    Exterior vessel damage can lead to early vessel failure. Damage received in shipment should be reported to the shipping company immediately upon receipt. Minor damage such as scratches that go no deeper than the paint may be acceptable. Call Pentair Water for advice if in doubt.
  • Page 35 MOUTING SHELL NOTE If mounting vessel for the first time, see “Piping Recommendations for CodeLine E8 Series Sideport Vessels”. . This section is concerned with the mounting of E8S/SP and E8H/SP Series pressure vessels only. These guidelines must be integrated with any additional procedures required for specific installation.
  • Page 36 Place mounting straps over vessel with cork strip against vessel. Provide adequate room for servicing at both ends of vessel. Elements are installed and removed in the direction of feed flow. Position screw through the frame mounting holes into strap nuts and run up to the frame finger tight.

  • Page 37: Piping Connections

    PIPING CONNECTIONS The following are suggested guidelines to ensure that the vessel is allowed to expand and is easily serviced. Support the header and interconnecting piping in a manner that they are self-supporting. Connecting piping alignment to feed, Concentrate and Permeate ports should not exceed 0.030-in.

  • Page 38: Section 3 Application Guide

    E8S/SP & E8H/SP series vessel selected is appropriate to that application. Pentair Water will assist the purchaser in determining the suitability of the standard vessel for their specific operating conditions. For non-standard applications, alternate materials are available on special order.
  • Page 39 Requirement for increased fire resistance in some circumstances (e.g may preclude use of PVC for permeate ports) Use of a Pentair Water pressure vessel other than its intended application will void the warranty. Pentair Water will assist the purchaser in determining the suitability of the standard vessel for their specific operating conditions.

  • Page 40: Elasticity And Mounting Requirements

    ELASTICITY AND MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS Mounting design must allow for vessel expansion both axially and radially. Although the expansion under pressure is slight, undue restriction can result in damage to the vessel and to other system components. Expansion is typically up to .020 inch in diameter and up to 0.007 inch per foot in length.

  • Page 41: Corrosion

    Leaks from vessel or nearby components, which allow head parts to be routinely wetted, should not be tolerated. The following typical list of Pentair pressure vessel components shows the standard material of construction of each part. An evaluation of the possibility of corrosion damage to metal head interlock components is of critical importance.

    PRE-PRESSURIZATION CHECKLIST Danger – High Pressure Device Operation of this vessel may cause loss of life, severe bodily harm, and /or property damage if not correctly installed or maintained. Read and understand all guidelines given before attempting to open, operate or service this vessel. Failure to follow these guidelines and observe every precaution may result in malfunction and could result in explosive head failure.

  • Page 45: Piping Recommendations

    Piping Recommendations for CodeLine E8 Series Side ported Vessels Various methods of connecting sideport vessels to manifolds are possible. The recommended method is to connect each vessel side port to the manifold using two flexible Victaulic® joints and an intermediate piping section. A 90 o -elbow would be ideal, however, a straight piping connection would also be acceptable.
  • Page 46 Piping Recommendations continued An alternate method using a single Victaulic® is acceptable but requires more thoughtful execution. The manifold must be fabricated using close tolerances to help ensure correct alignment. Installation must follow a sequence of assembly steps to initially ensure correct shell to manifold alignment.
  • Page 47 Piping Recommendations continued Even though a single Victaulic® coupling arrangement may be the choice for low cost and compactness, it brings with it the necessity to provide the required amount of flexibility in some other way. A Victaulic® coupling allows angular but not lateral misalignment. Two rigidly restrained pipes not lying on a common axis can be forced to align if the fit is close enough to allow the two halves of the coupling to be pulled together by the bolts.
