Axis AX6STX6S Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

1.0 Intended Use:
This procedure is solely for the purpose of mounting suitable equipment to an AXIS Stabilized
Connector with valve. Any other use or modification is not permitted and discharges the man-
ufacturer of liability.
2.0 Precautions:
► Maximum operating temperature and pressure should be checked with all equipment installed in the system. This
includes but is not limited to seal or dielectrics if applicable.
► Never remove bolting while valve or equipment is pressurized. Uncontrolled release of process medium can occur
resulting in damage and/or injuries.
► Install only on depressurized equipment and ensure that the equipment cannot start or hold pressure inadvertently.
► Incorrect installation can cause the equipment to not function as designed causing damage to equipment or operating
personnel.
3.0 Stabilized Connector Components:
(2) Valve
(4) Compression hex nut (1-1/4")
4.0 Maintenance:
► No maintenance is normally required. Regular testing of connection tightness can be carried out. If necessary, retighten
the bolts while the equipment is depressurized.
► For re-installation, new PTFE or graphite seals are required. O-rings can be reused but must be inspected for defects.
5.0 Installation Preparation:
► PTFE tape must be wrapped in proper direction on all MNPT connections. For re-installation, new PTFE tape must be
used.
► Accessibility and necessary label viewing should be ensured when determining mounting location.
6.0 Operation:
The valves are actuated using the handles. Turning the valve clockwise will close or shut off the valve and turning the
valve counterclockwise will open the valve. Always fully open or fully close the valve using only hand force, mechanical
aids should not be used. Overtightening can lead to damage of internal parts.
