6. A mounting strap can be used around the vessel body or vessel flange to secure the
device from vibration and pressure loads.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN VESSEL CLAMPS
Overtightening clamps around the vessel body can cause distortion of the FLEX and affect
performance of the unit.
7. Do not couple the FLEX pipe nozzles to system piping until the support bracket and shims
are completely installed, the device is aligned with system piping, and any mounting
straps or tie-downs are in place.
PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL PIPE LOAD
Refer to documentation from pipe coupling OEM for recommendations on system design,
operating limits, and allowable nozzle loads. It is not recommended to use pipe couplings to
support the static or dynamic loads of the FLEX unit(s).
8. Attach system piping to each of the four FLEX pipe nozzles using appropriate pipe
couplings. There should be no piping loads transmitted to the device after connections
are made.
9. Ensure the coupling pressure rating on each nozzle matches the system pressure at that
location.
