NOTICE: Failure to follow these guidelines may void warranty and reduce the life of the
equipment. Compliance with local codes and regulations must also be assured. The information
given here is basic in nature. For additional installation and equipment details, refer to the
appropriate instruction manual and The Chlorine Basics pamphlet by the Chlorine Institute.
Complimentary pamphlets are available at www.chlorineinstitute.org.

III.) Gas and Liquid Pressure Manifold Piping: This refers to any pressurized chemical
piping between the chlorine container(s) and vacuum regulator(s).
III.B.) Cleaning, Drying and Pressure Testing Pipe, Valves and Fittings
1. All pipe, valves, and fittings must be thoroughly cleaned of all oils and foreign matter
(grease, threading chips, dirt, etc.) prior to assembly. Failure to properly clean may result in
undesirable chemical reactions and non-warrantable equipment failure. Steam is the
suggested method of cleaning metal pipes. Avoid steam contact with non-metallic
components. Low areas (drip legs) should be opened to drain condensate. The use of dry (-
40°F dew point) air or nitrogen to pressure test all piping and components is recommended.
Dry until air being discharged has a dew point of -40°F. After drying, all piping must be
protected to prevent moisture from entering the system.
2. Consult The Chlorine Institute Chlorine Basic Pamphlet for further instructions and Chlorine
Institute Pamphlet #9, “Chlorine Vaporizing Systems”.
III.D.) Paint
1. Paint piping only.
2. Painting equipment components may damage and interfere with proper operation and
identification.
3. Paint fumes have been known to damage gas leak detector sensors. Be sure to seal or remove
gas leak detector sensors during painting to avoid fumes reaching and damaging the sensors.

IV.) Vacuum Regulators: Between the chlorine containers and the vacuum regulators the
chemical is under pressure. The chemical leaves the vacuum regulator under vacuum up until it
mixes with the water inside the ejector.
