pressure may rupture and fracture the quartz sleeves.
operating pressure
Standard units are rated for a maximum operating
pressure of 120 psig (8.24 bar).
If your unit has the High Pressure Modification option
(model number suffix “HP”) operating pressure may
increase to 150 psig (10.34 bar).
heat Sanatization
For heat sanitization (temperatures exceeding 170°F
(77°C) up to a maximum of 194°F (90°C)), it is recom-
mended that stainless steel compression nuts be used in
place of CPVC compression nuts. During heat sanitiza-
tion the S-254 probe must be removed. (Adaptor
available for maintaining Hydrostatic seal during
sanitization.) The selection of the elastomers should
be considered.
remove the plastic dowel(s)
A plastic dowel is placed inside the UV treatment
chamber to secure the baffle during shipping. The 30”
units have one dowel on the left side only and the 60”
units have two dowels -- one on each side.
Remove the compression nut in the twelve o’clock position
on the left side of the UV treatment chamber. Remove and
discard the plastic dowel. Replace the compression nut. You
where to install the unit
Install the UV treatment unit in a horizontal position in a
sheltered area with ample ventilation. Ambient tempera-
tures surrounding the unit should be between 35

F contact
Aquafine. Should your requirements differ, contact the
factory for assistance.
As an ultraviolet UV treatment unit does not introduce
any chemical residue within the water, it is desirable to
install the unit as close as possible to the point-of-use in
order to avoid potential recontamination by discharge
pipes, fittings, etc. The base of the UV treatment unit
should be mounted on suitable support to avoid undue
strain on the unit or your related pipes and fittings.
Allow sufficient service access clearance. In making
your plumbing connections, provide unions, valves,
bypass and drain.
how to protect your unit
The location should be free from undue vibration which
could be caused by proximity to heavy equipment,
erratic or improper pumps. Excessive vibration will
damage internal electrical components and cause
premature failure of the UV lamps.
Limit overhead piping load to 50 lbs (22.7 kg) per
flange. If your piping system is subject to impulse
pressure resulting in a “water hammer” condition, a
surge tank or other means must be provided to remove
this condition, otherwise the extreme momentary
A parts check list was included when this unit
was shipped. Please refer to this list and note
that some parts are small and can be easily
overlooked when discarding packaging.
Depending on the size of the lamp being used, please allow at
least 36 inches (92 cm) of clearance for 30-inch units or 72
inches (182 cm) of clearance for 60-inch units on the lamp-
changing end of the unit.
