1. To remove the inlet screen from a pump with CF inlet flange, use a bent wire hook
or small screwdriver to carefully lever the inlet screen out from the inlet flange.
2. To replace an inlet screen, locate it as centrally as possible over the CF inlet flange
and then, with fingers applying equal pressure around the edge of the screen, push
it firmly downwards.
If they are not already in place, the tangs must be snapped into the locating groove in
the inlet flange using a suitable tool to press them into position.
For ISO flanged pumps, Edwards supplies a combination inlet screen/trapped O-ring.
