1. INTRODUCTION
This document is intended to provide information to assist with the installation, use, maintenance and
replacement of the Fike FlamQuench IIM.
Fike Corporation has designed and manufactures the FlamQuench IIin two versions: an imperial size unit
specified according to NA standards, available in size 8”through 40”; and a metric version specified and built
for the CE market, available in size DN200 through DN1000.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The Fike FlamQuench IIMis designed to allow for indoor explosion venting with flame arresting and
particulate retention. It consists of various layers of high temperature stainless steel that retain burned and
unburned dust and absorb heat produced during the explosion.
2.2 SERVICE QUALIFICATIONS
The information contained in this document is provided for reference purposes only. For further product
information or ordering replacement parts, please contact your local Fike Branch Office or Representative
(details of which can be found on the back page) or:
2.3 PERSONNEL SAFETY
WARNING: Mark a security distance of 8 feet (3 meters) around FlamQuench IIMStay out of this
area.
2.4 FlamQuench IISAFETY
WARNING: Any damage to the Filter may cause the FlamQuench IIMto malfunction, which may
result in a dust explosion in the surrounding area.
2.5 FlamQuench IIINSTALLATION PROCEDURE
WARNING: When installing do not damage filter. Any damage to filter may compromise the function
of the FlamQuench IIM.
Refer to Figure 1 (page 8) for assembly diagram.
Step 1: All system components shall be installed and the electrical and control systems thoroughly checked
by a qualified technician before proceeding with installation.
Step 2: Use provided lift ring(s) when installing FlamQuench IIM. The rings are located on the top and
bottom weldments. Do not attempt to lift FlamQuench IIMby any other method.
Step 3: Carefully clean gasket, explosion vent, and bolting pad surface (frame or flangering).
Step 4: Place gasket onto bolting pad
(AFM30/34 or similar is the recommended gasket material. Sealant
may be used, type may vary depending on process requirements)
. Be sure to line up holes.
Step 5: Place the explosion vent onto gasket with ID tag lettering facing up. Align holes.
Note: Explosion vent may be placed onto the FlamQuench IIMfirst. However you must wait until the
sealant has dried before continuing the installation. Follow the instructions on sealant for drying time.
WARNING: TAKE EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO DAMAGE EXPLOSION VENT WHEN INSTALLING
FlamQuench II. DAMAGE TO THE EXPLOSION VENT WILL CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION.

Revision : A –October 15, 2001
Step 6: Carefully place FlamQuench IIMon top of explosion vent making sure holes are lined up before
placing all the weight on the explosion vent.
Step 7: Fasten the FlamQuench IIMto the bolting pad using either 18-8 or 304 stainless steel hardware.
Torque to 35-40 foot pounds (48-54 N-m).
Step 8: Connect Burst Indicator. (See Installation Instructions on connecting BI)
Note: Cables attached to lifting rings can be used to help support the FlamQuench IIM. Do not attempt to
support the FlamQuench IIMusing any other method other than the lift rings.
2.6 FlamQuench IIREMOVAL PROCEDURE
Caution: Before removing FlamQuench IIM, carefully check the surface temperature. Make sure it is
not too hot to handle.
Do not disassemble the FlamQuench IIMwhen mounted to a vessel.
Step 1: Shut down process if not already shut down.
Step 2: Remove hardware holding FlamQuench IIMto vessel.
Step 3: Use only the provided lift rings for lifting.
Step 4: Follow instructions in Section 5 (page 3) for refurbishment.
2.7 IDENTIFICATION OF FlamQuench II
For the purpose of identifying the FlamQuench IIMand ordering replacement parts and refurbishment kits the
FlamQuench IIMhas been permanently tagged. The FlamQuench IIMhas separate ID tags for each
component. See Figures 4 & 5 (pages 11 & 12) for ID tag locations. The ID tags contain the following
information: Size, Part Number and Lot Number. The explosion vent will be marked separately.
3. INSTALLATION
•Keep a minimum distance of 2 feet (0.7 meters) between the FlamQuench IIMand any equipment or
walls to allow for proper venting.
•FlamQuench IIMmay be installed anywhere between vertical and horizontal. See Figure 2 (page 9).
Fike Corporation shall evaluate any deviation from this orientation.
•The FlamQuench IIMrequires sufficient support based on the FlamQuench IIMweight and reaction
force created during activation. Refer to Table 2 (page 6) or Table 3 (Page 7) and Figure 3 (page 10) for
FlamQuench IIMphysical specifications.
4. SUPPORT CONSIDERATIONS
The FlamQuench IIMshould be supported to prevent damage to the vessel it is protecting. If the vessel is
sufficiently sturdy, the flange connection may be used to support the FlamQuench IIM. Weight and angle
must be considered when evaluating vessel strength for mounting. If the vessel wall is not sufficient to
support the FlamQuench IIM, additional reinforcement should be provided.
Where lighter weight vessels are used, the FlamQuench IIMshould be supported independently. This may
be accomplished by attaching cables to the lifting rings on the top and side of the FlamQuench IIMRefer to
Figure 2 (page 9).

5. REFURBISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 FILTER HANDLING WARNING
WARNING: To prevent possible injury (cuts & scrapes), wear leather gloves when handling the filters.
5.2 FILTER REPLACEMENT
5.2.1 REMOVE FILTER (Refer to Figures 4 and 5, pages 11 and 12)
Step 1: Follow removal procedures in Section 2.6.
Step 2: Remove nuts, bolts and washers and discard.
Step 3: Use supplied lift rings to remove Top Frame Weldment. Be sure to remove lower bands on larger
FlamQuench II.
Step 4: Remove Top and Side Filters and dispose of properly.
Step 5: Remove Fiber Frax rings and discard in a safe manner.
5.2.2 INSTALLATION OF FILTER(S) (Refer to Figure 6, page 13)
CAUTION: BEFORE INSTALLING NEW FILTER, THOUROUGLY INSPECT FRAME FOR STRESS
FRACTURES. IF FRACTURES ARE FOUND, REPLACE ENTIRE FRAME.
Step 1: Place Fiber Frax ring into Bottom Weldment. Be carefull not to tear ring.
Step 2: Carefully install Side Filter into Bottom Weldment, ID tag down. If Filter is damaged in any way, it
may compromise the function of the filter. For easier installation turn assembly upside down to
install filter. See Figure 6A (page 13). Be sure to note location of ID tag (Refer to Figure 4 or 5).
Step 3: Place Fiber Frax ring on top of Side Filter. See Figure 6B (page 13).
Step 4: FlamQuench II sizes 8”–20”(DN200 –DN500) skip to Step 9.
Step 5: FlamQuench II sizes 24”–40”(DN600 –DN1000) install Center Ring Support Weldment. (Refer to
Figure 5, page 12)
Step 6: Place Fiber Frax ring on top of Center Ring Support Weldment.
Step 7: Carefully install Side Filter into Center Ring Support Weldment
Step 8: Place Fiber Frax ring on top of Side Filter.
Step 9: Lay the Inner Top Filter on top of the Fiber Frax (ID tag up). Be sure to center this part on top of the
Filter. See Figure 6B (page 13). Be sure to note location of ID tag.
Step 10: Lay the Outer Top Filter on top of the Inner Top Filter (ID tag up). Be sure to center. See Figure 6B
(page 13). Be sure to note location of ID tag.
Step 11: Carefully lower Top Frame Weldment onto filter assembly. Align holes in top weldment with holes
in bottom weldment. In order to line-up holes the assembly needs to be compressed using 3 bar
clamps. Place the bar clamps equaly spaced around the diameter. Slowly tighten each bar clamp
until the holes line-up. See Figure 6C (page 13).
Step 12: Install new hardware provided. DO NOT USE OLD HARDWARE! Torque all hardware to 35 ft-lbs
(48 N-m).
Step 13: Refurbishment complete. Refer to Section 2.5 (page 1) for installation.
