To reduce energy consumption from excessive pressure drop and minimize chance of contaminant carryover, install new elements
before pressure drop reaches 10 psid (except grade RD). Install new RD elements when hydrocarbon vapors are first detected
downstream or every six months, whichever comes first.

WARNINGS

NOTE
