professional training, conduct,

jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
 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 the equipment orientation allows for operation interface and
maintenance.
3. Align skids as shown in the drawings, ensuring that the skid fasteners are
matched.
4. Ensure the skids are leveled and fasten the skids together using 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 piping has been assembled and tightened.
5. Connect the piping between skids by matching the union connections
and/or fl ange stamps and tightening. Refer to the appropriate instructions
to tighten the fl anges and required torque specifi cations. Support pipe
runs as required.
6. Ensure that a low point drain is installed in the piping.
7. Connect the conduit runs between skids and tighten the conduit
connectors.
8. Locate the supplied wiring for the equipment and pull wiring through
the appropriate conduit runs. Electrical wires are labeled for easy landing.
Connect all wiring per the Fulton supplied electrical drawing.
