CAUTION: Before installation and disassembly,
ensure the plate is secured with a suitable method
(crane or support).
1. Valtek MegaStream resistance plates are installed
downstream from a Valtek control valve. Plates can
be located between raised face flanges downstream
of the valve.
2. Before installing the plate, clean the line of dirt,
scale, welding chips, and other foreign material.
Clean the gasket surfaces thoroughly to insure leakproof
joints.
3. Check the flange bolts or studs for proper size,
threading, and length.
4. Loosely install the lower flange bolts to form a cradle
between the flanges.
5. Noting the flow direction arrow on the tag, place
the plate and flange gaskets between the flanges,
making sure the arrow on the tag points in the
direction of the flow.
6. Install the remaining flange bolts, shifting the plate
as necessary to permit the bolts to pass by the plate.
7. Tighten the flange bolts evenly to assure uniform
gasket compression.
8. The plate is now ready for operation.
