1. General Information
The DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece is designed for use in distribution networks and industrial applications requiring reliable transitions between different pipe diameters. Proper installation is essential to guarantee safe operation, long service life, and efficient, leak-free performance within the pipeline system.
2. Safety Precautions
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Ensure strict compliance with all local safety regulations and standards concerning pipeline pressure and heavy equipment handling.
Personnel must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times during the process.
Confirm that the pipeline section is fully depressurized and drained before attempting to install the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece.
3. Pre-Installation Checklist
Inspect the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece for any visible damage to the socket ends or the protective coating sustained during transport or storage.
Check that the nominal sizes (D and d), pressure rating, and transition type match the system design requirements.
Verify that the interior and socket seating areas are clean and free from debris.
Confirm that the mating pipe ends are correctly chamfered and aligned. Ensure that high-quality gaskets and appropriate lubricants are available for assembly.
4. Installation Procedure
Preparation: Clean the socket interior of the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece and the pipe spigot thoroughly. Insert the appropriate gasket into the socket groove, ensuring it is properly seated without twists.
Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of approved pipe lubricant to the gasket and the pipe end to facilitate easy insertion. Mounting: Align the pipe with the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece socket. Push the pipe into the socket using a steady force until it reaches the required insertion depth. Repeat the process for the second socket end.
Final Alignment: Ensure the transition remains straight; while the socket joint allows for minor angular deflection, excessive misalignment must be avoided.
5. Post-Installation
Slowly pressurize the system and check for leaks around both socket connections. Personnel should carefully visually check all joints for any signs of weeping.
If leakage is detected, depressurize the system and re-verify the gasket seating and insertion depth.
Record the installation details for documentation purposes.
Proper maintenance extends the service life of the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece and ensures reliable sealing integrity during testing and isolation periods. Follow the guidelines below to maximize the longevity of this essential unit.
1. Routine Operation
Visually inspect the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece area regularly, for example annually, for signs of external leakage or soil movement around the joint. As a static component, the DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece requires no internal operation; ensure the surrounding environment remains clear for inspection.
2. Inspection Schedule
Monthly: Check for any signs of water surfacing above the buried fitting which may indicate a joint issue.
Quarterly: Check the ground surface for signs of settling or movement caused by axial thrust at the transition point.
Annually: Perform a detailed inspection including the condition of the visible coating and structural integrity.
3. Lubrication
The DFT18 G MMR Reducer Piece is a mechanical connection device and requires no lubrication after the initial installation.
Lubrication is only used during the push-on assembly process to ensure proper seating of the gaskets.
4. Seal and Gasket Replacement
Replace gaskets if leakage or significant wear is observed.
Always depressurize and drain the pipeline before performing any maintenance work. Only use original spare parts to guarantee compatibility and reliability.
5. Cleaning
Keep the exterior of the reducer piece clean to prevent corrosion.
In aggressive environments, consider applying additional protective coating or insulation.
6. Storage and Spare Parts
Store spare parts in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight.
Maintain a record of all inspections, repairs, and replacements.
