Assembly of Fulton Multi-Skid Systems
Adhere to the following for multi-skid engineered systems:
1. Refer to the Fulton mechanical/electrical drawings
during assembly.
2. Ensure that equipment orientation allows for operation
interface and maintenance.
3. Align the skids as shown on the drawings ensuring that
skid fasteners (skid joint angles) are matched. The skid
joint angles are a matched set and the edges of the
fasteners should be exactly aligned.
NOTE: ´ Do not bolt the skids to the housekeeping pad/ oor
until all of the piping has been reassembled and tightened.
4. Ensure the skids are level and  at before fastening
the skids together with the supplied bolts. The skids
should be leveled front to back, side to side and corner
to corner. Failure to properly level the skids will result
in piping misalignment. A level or laser level should be
used to verify skid alignment (when a standard level is
used, the length should be appropriate for the skid). If
assembling multi-component support stands, attach
sections using the supplied bolts through the tank
frame mounting plates. These should be hand tight
until all of the piping is assembled. Note: skids are
leveled at the factory using a laser level.
5. Connect the piping between the skids by matching
the union connections and/or  ange stamps and
tightening. Refer to the mechanical drawing as
necessary to con rm location of spool pieces etc. as the
 ange stamps are shown on the drawing in hexagonal
callouts. The  ange stamps should matched and
aligned (the  ange stamps should be directly across
from one another. Rotating a  ange will result in piping
misalignment). Bolts should be hand tight until all
of the piping is assembled. Refer to the appropriate
instructions to tighten the  anges to the required
torque speci cations. Support pipe runs as required.
6. Ensure that a low point drain is installed in the piping.
7. Connect the conduit runs between the skids and
tighten conduit connectors.
8. Locate the supplied wiring for the equipment and pull
wiring through the appropriate conduit runs. Electrical
wires are labeled for easy landing. Connect all wiring
per the Fulton supplied electrical drawings.
9. If a header is supplied, mount the header as shown in
the mechanical drawing.
NOTE: ´ For piping supplied in sections, make up and connect
hand tight until all sections are in place to ensure sections
align properly. Sections are match marked for reassembly.
10. Tighten all connections.
11. Pneumatically test the piping (at 15 psig maximum)
prior to  lling the systems.
12. Check bolts and connections for tightness after the  rst
heat up cycle. Retorquing may be required.
