Torque values
Compensator bolts should be torqued in 3 successive steps
• Step 1: Hand-tighten each bolt.
• Step 2: Torque the bolts crosswise up to the value mentioned in the table below and allow a
stabilization period of 30 minutes before moving to step 3.
• Step 3: Torque the bolts crosswise up to the value mentioned in the table below.
• Mind the parallelism of the sealing.
• Excessive torque will damage the sealing.

Do's and don'ts
The supplied compensators are NOT designed:
• to carry the weight of the mounted customer pipe end.
• to work as a damper for unanchored pipe ends.
• to carry the thrust forces of the compressed air.
Therefore, adequate supporting and anchoring of the customer pipe end should be foreseen to avoid
compensator damage.
