3. Chemical Compatibility
of the filter and the fluid
being filtered.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Before operating this vessel,
operator should wear protective
gloves and face shield.
Refer to Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS), for specific
instructions for handling the
liquid, as supplied by the
manufacturer of the material.
(See Warnings)
WARNINGS
Before use, consult chemical
compatibility guidelines.
This vessel is manufactured from talc
filled polypropylene.The maximum
operating pressure is rated at 100 PSI
with water where the temperature
does not exceed 110¡F. The operat-
ing pressure may vary when using
other substances and temperatures.
Although this housing material has a
wide range of chemical resistance,
there are several factors that affect
or restrict the usage, i.e., tempera-
ture and concentration of solutions.
Therefore the user should refer to
published reference materials for
chemical compatibility.
A partial list follows:
• Compass Corrosion Guide—
Section B.
• Compass Chemical Resistance
Guide for Elastomers.
• Dow Chemical Resistance Guide.
• DuPont Chemical Resistance and
Fluid Compatibility.
Failure to comply with the chemical
compatibility guidelines may result
in extensive vessel structural
integrity failure.
Such failure could result in severe
injury to the user.
Hot and/or chemically active liquids
can cause serious injury.
Wear protective face shield
and clothing.

SAFETY
1.This manual has been
prepared for the safe
installation, operation,
and maintenance of FSI
pressure vessels.
Warning labels have been
reprinted in this manual.
Warning labels are not a
substitute for reading and
understanding this manual.
All labels must be replaced
when legibility is lost or visibility
is blocked. Labels have a part
number in the lower left-hand
corner for reordering.
2.The location of the
Installation, Operation
and Maintenance Manual
for the filter vessel.
The end user is to place the
Installation, Operation, and
Maintenance Manual on each
vessel upon final installation.
The manual must be visible and
accessible to the operator.

➔INSTALLATION
The height of the support legs
can be adjusted by moving the
belly bands of the leg assembly
up or down the filter housing.
Maximum floor to filter outlet
is 13 1/4 inches.
Use commercially available
3/8 inch diameter floor anchors.
5. Piping.
The piping material used
should be the same as the
base material of the vessel.
The piping temperature and
pressure rating should be
equal to or greater than that
of the vessel.
RELIEFVALVE
It is the responsibility of the
end user to protect the
system components, such as
the FSI filter, from being
over-pressurized.This can be
achieved by installing a system
relief valve.
➔
4. Mounting Location.
Locate the filter away
from direct sunlight and all
heat sources that could
elevate its temperature
beyond the maximum allow-
able. See lid for maximum
temperature rating.
MOUNTING
Hard pipe the filter housing
in place with 2 inch sch. 80
plastic piping. Secure the inlet
and outlet pipe to provide
filter support. If it is desirable
to support the filter and its
contents, polypropylene legs
and floor mounting pads are a
standard option.The legs can
be shortened by saw cutting.
Note:The plastic legs are used
in conjunction with hard
piping to provide rigid filter
support. For filters requiring
solid floor mounting, stainless
steel or carbon steel support
legs are a standard option.

6. Gasket.
GASKET INSTALLATION
Clean the gasket groove.
Slip the gasket over the filter and into
the groove.
Make sure the gasket is not twisted
and the bevelled edges are facing out.
Apply a small amount of sanitary
O-ring lubricant to the outside
of the gasket.
Use only FSI replacement gaskets.
Refer to Figure 2
(See Warnings)
7. Opening and Closing the Filter.
OPENING
To isolate the filter:
1.Turn off and lock out pump.
2.Turn off inlet shutoff valve.
3.Turn off outlet shutoff valve.
4. Drain filter (vent valve may have
to be cracked open).
5. Filter should have no internal
pressure.
6. Check pressure gauge for zero PSI.
7. Remove lid manually by turning
counterclockwise.
A gentle tap against the handle may
be necessary, if the lid was
over tightened.
Refer to Figure 1
Remove filter bag or cartridge with
caution. Insert new filter bag,
or cartridge.
Note:The recommended differential
pressure across a filter element
before changing is: 10-15 PSI for
bag filters, 10-15 PSI for cartridges.
WARNINGS
Vent valve exhaust can be dangerous
— direct exhaust to a safe place.
Do not open vessel under pressure;
escaping fluid under pressure can
cause serious injury.
Gasket can fail,causing serious injury.
Gasket material must be chemically
and temperature compatible with
fluid being filtered.

CLOSING
1. Lubricate the gasket with a
small amount of sanitary
O-ring lubricant.
2.Turn the lid clockwise until it
bottoms out.
STOP, additional force will
not enhance the seal;
it may cause the threads
to stick.
Refer to Figure 3
3. Before opening the inlet
valve, close the drain valve
and vent valve.
8. Converting from a
cartridge filter to a bag
filter.
1. Clean the inside of the filter
housing. Do not scratch the
molded interior surface.
2. Pull out the cartridge
conversion plate.
3. Drop the basket in.

WARNINGS
The X100 vessel is only designed
to use lathe cut gaskets made of
self-energizing material such as
BUNA N orVITON. does not
recommend the use of gaskets or
O-rings that are made of non-self
energizing (i.e. non-elastomeric)
material such as rope type gaskets,
teflon, or graphite-impregnated
materials.
The X100 is talc-filled polypropy-
lene. Please refer to chemical
resistance guides for filter housing
compatibility with specific chemi-
cals at various temperatures. Only
use this housing with chemical vs.
temperature ratings of “+” or
“excellent”. FSI will not assume
responsibility for the use of this
housing with chemicals and/or at
temperatures and pressures that
are not compatible with or within
the safe operating range of this
filter housing. Please refer to
nameplate data on this housing
which gives maximum operating
temperature and pressure limits,
and which assumes the operation
of this housing is with chemically
compatible fluids. Consult the
Engineering Department
for pressure limits
at different operating and/or
ambient temperatures.
