WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
For reasons of safety, the hot exhaust
gas duct and chimney must be
insulated or shielded within the
locality of the heater in compliance
with local codes and regulations.

CAUTION
The stack arrangement and draft
conditions should be in accordance
with the information in this manual for
proper performance of the equipment.
 Automatic Fluid Control Valves
Because of the widely varied processes in which Fulton Thermal Fluid Heaters
are used, it is not possible to provide specifi c rules for the selection of automatic
fl uid control valves. Generally, these valves must satisfy the specifi c materials and
construction requirements.
The type of operation and design of porting are governed by the degree of
control required as well as the particular application.
 By-Pass Valves
When process fl ow requirements do not match heater fl ow requirements, a by-
pass valve must be installed. If the process fl ow will vary with the system load, a
suitable bypass system can be recommended by Fulton Thermal Corporation.
Assembly of Fulton Multi-Skid Engineered 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/fl oor until all of the piping
has been reassembled and tightened.
4. Ensure the skids are level and fl 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 fl ange stamps and tightening. Refer to the mechanical drawing
as necessary to confi rm location of spool pieces etc. as the fl ange stamps
are shown on the drawing in hexagonal callouts. The fl ange stamps
should matched and aligned (the fl ange stamps should be directly across
from one another. Rotating a fl 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 fl anges to the required torque
specifi cations. Support pipe runs as required.
6. Ensure that a low point drain is installed in the piping.
