FT-C Vertical Electric Thermal Fluid Heater Manual 12 2013 ISSUE 1
Adhere to the following for multi-skid engineered systems:
1. Refer to the Fulton mechanical/electrical drawings during assembly.
2. Ensure that equipment orientation allows for operation interface and maintenance.
3. Align the skids as shown on the drawings ensuring that skid fasteners (skid joint angles) are
matched. The skid joint angles are a matched set and the edges of the fasteners should be
exactly aligned.
4. Ensure the skids are level and at before fastening the skids together with the supplied bolts.
The skids should be leveled front to back, side to side and corner to corner. Failure to properly
level the skids will result in piping misalignment. A level or laser level should be used to verify
skid alignment (when a standard level is used, the length should be appropriate for the skid). If
assembling multi-component support stands, attach sections using the supplied bolts through
the tank frame mounting plates. These should be hand tight until all of the piping is assembled.
5. Connect the piping between the skids by matching the union connections and/or ange stamps
and tightening. Refer to the mechanical drawing as necessary to conrm location of spool
pieces etc. as the ange stamps are shown on the drawing in hexagonal callouts. The ange
stamps should matched and aligned (the ange stamps should be directly across from one
another. Rotating a ange will result in piping misalignment). Bolts should be hand tight until
all of the piping is assembled. Refer to the appropriate instructions to tighten the anges to the
required torque specications. Support pipe runs as required.
6. Ensure that a low point drain is installed in the piping.
7. Connect the conduit runs between the skids and tighten conduit connectors.
8. Locate the supplied wiring for the equipment and pull wiring through the appropriate conduit
runs. Electrical wires are labeled for easy landing. Connect all wiring per the Fulton supplied
electrical drawings.
9. If a header is supplied, mount the header as shown in the mechanical drawing.
10. Tighten all connections.
11. Pneumatically test the piping (at 15 psig maximum) prior to lling the systems.
12. Check bolts and connections for tightness after the rst heat up cycle.
Retorquing may be required.
For piping supplied in sections, make up and connect hand tight until all sections are in place to ensure
sections align properly. Sections are match marked for reassembly.
Do not bolt the skids to the housekeeping pad/! oor until all of the piping has been reassembled and
tightened.
Skids are leveled at the factory using a laser level.
