For optimal performance and longevity, follow these critical installation steps:
1. Handle with Care – Protect bellows from dents, scratches, arc strikes, and weld spatter.
2. Avoid Forced Movements – Never exceed designed movement limits (compression, extension, offset, or rotation) to prevent premature failure or system damage.
3. Pre-Position Properly – Follow manufacturer instructions precisely for any field adjustments.
4. Secure Anchors & Guides – Install all supports exactly as specified in piping diagrams.
5. Mind the Flow – Ensure correct orientation of internal sleeves relative to flow direction.
Proper installation ensures reliability and maximizes service life.
