INSTALLATION
Putting Into Service
Prior to system start-up, ensure that:
1. The system components are properly secured
2. All connections are tight
3. All valves are in the close position
Placing into operation
The system must be filled with liquid and be free if air and debris prior to start-up. The system may be
filled by gravity or by the use of a pump.
Check to determine that all fittings and flanges are tight and liquid lines are closed.
1. Open the vapor line between the Sponsler components and the supply tank.
2. Using vapor pressure only, check each joint with a liquid soap solution to inspect for leaks.
3. When all joints have been checked and no leaks found, admit liquid slowly.
4. With the valve open between the supply tank and the Sponsler component, slowly open the valve
located down stream of the Sponsler component until the meter’s register begins to move
indicating flow through the Sponsler component.
5. Once the product is flowing out of the end of the system, the valve can be opened to a flow rate,
which does not exceed the maximum for which the meter is rated.
Refer to the manuals shipped with the Sponsler components for information specific to your components
models.
