1. Safety informations
I) The products have been specifically designed for use on water, steam, diathermic oil, air or
condensate which are in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive.
The products’ use on other fluids within Group 2 or fluids within Group 1 may be possible but,
if this is contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted to confirm the suitability of the
product for the application being considered.
II) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values.
If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which it
is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or
overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent
such over-limit situations.
III) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow.
IV) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced
by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these
stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
