Quartz sleeve installation
Compression nut assembled on the quartz sleeve
Stainless socket & lamp end cover design
Compression Nut Tool - Rotate clockwise onto
the threaded stainless nippled end plate with
compression nut tool
USD-RBE Series units only
The quartz sleeves for this unit utilize a design that is open on one end and
closed on the other end. The closed end of the tube is inserted into the threaded
nipple and then through the baffle system in the chamber. Within the baffle,
Teflon bushings provide additional support to the quartz sleeves.

For first time unit installations, follow these quartz sleeve
installation procedures:
1. Turn off all power to the unit.
2. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent contamination of the quartz sleeves.
3. Carefully remove each quartz sleeve from the factory packaging.
Handle these with care as they are fragile.
4. Visually inspect all quartz sleeves for cracks or other damage. Do not
install damaged quartz sleeves.
5. Remove the socket covers on the ends of the treatment chamber.
6. Remove all compression nuts and any packaging material from the end
plate (if installed).
7. Place the closed end of the quartz sleeve into the threaded nipple and
slowly push the sleeve into the chamber. Some resistance may be felt
from the Teflon bushing.
8. Install the compression nut and o-ring by placing the o-ring into the
internal relief of the compression nut below the threaded area.
The o-ring should fit into the compression nut.
9. Place the compression nut and o-ring onto the end of the quartz sleeve until the
end of the quartz sleeve touches the end of the compression nut and hand
tighten until snug. Deionized water may be used as a lubricant.
10. Tighten the compression nut approximately 1/2 turn after the threaded
nipple and o-ring make contact.
11. Repeat this procedure for all quartz sleeves.
12. Slowly pressurize the system and fill the chamber with water to check for leaks.
13. When applicable, bleed the air from the UV treatment chamber by opening
the plug on top of the chamber. Replace with a suitable valve.
14. If there are leaks in any compression nut assembly, depressurize the system
and use the compression nut tool to slightly tighten the leaking compres-
sion nut assembly.
15. Retest until a leak-free installation is verified.
16. You are now ready to install the UV lamps.
Over tightening can break the
quartz sleeves or create leaks.
