GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES FOR
SPM
®
FLOW LINE SAFETY RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (FSR)
Installation of individual SPM
®
FSR components as well as the
system itself should be done by Weir Oil & Gas personnel or
persons qualified by Weir Oil & Gas to do so. Training is available
from Weir Oil & Gas. Contact us at 1-800-342-7458 for more
information.
Any misuse of the SPM
®
FSRs
such as lifting or towing, or
improper installation shall void any and all warranties and may
cause injury or death. Further, any mishandling of the SPM
®
FSRs
such as not following the maintenance and care instructions
contained in this guide, including but not limited to exposing the
SPM
®
FSRs
to excessive heat, shall void all warranties.
Prior to installation, verify that the tag indicates its recent
inspection date. For most efficient setup, install SPM
®
FSR Ribs
and Spines in unison with the flow line rig-up. After SPM
®
FSR is
installed, check every connection, every link, and every SPM
®
FSR
component to ensure that there is a continuous connection from
anchor point to anchor point.
• As a note for standardization the annual inspection and tag
punch represents when the inspection is done.
After the complete SPM
®
FSR system is installed, make sure:
a) All SPM
®
FSR Ribs are installed as tight as possible around
flow line components.
b) All main line and anchor line SPM
®
FSR Spines are as tight as
possible from anchor point to anchor point.
Always keep ALL personnel away from the flow line while under
pressure. This applies whether or not a restraint system is
installed.
