1. Before entering the dust collector and beginning the installation procedure, follow the proper lockout, tagout
and confined space entry procedures. Remove old bags and cages from the collector. Clean the bag
cups/venturis so the urethane top will seal on a clean metal surface. Remove any sharp burrs or surface
roughness that can cause tears in the urethane filter element tops. If there is access to the clean air plenum, it
should be thoroughly cleaned after removing the used bags and cages.
Note for PTFE users: The surface of your PTFE filter element is very delicate! When moving or
handling, care must be taken to prevent any scraping of the surface. Cardboard or other smooth material
should be placed on or around rough surfaces (such as door frames and handrails) to protect the filtration
surface from damage during handling. Do not stack filter elements more than four high.
Inspect each filter element for damage from shipping, storage or handling. Do not use damaged elements;
they may leak or fail prematurely.
If top load sleeve: Insert the provided installation sleeve in the tube-
sheet hole to protect the membrane from the rough edges. (Installation
sleeves are located in the box labeled “Open First.”) Lower the
element through the tubesheet hole, slip the installation sleeve off
over the top of the element and complete the installation. (Figure #1)
3. Carefully lift the cartridge filter element and work the
urethane top of the filter element onto the bag cups/venturi
(Figure #2). Protect the media surface during handling and
installation to avoid any damage to the filter media pleats.
4. Gently push the filter element up onto the bag cup/venturi
until the flexible lip in the inner urethane top snaps into place
on the groove in the bag cup/venturi. Pull down slightly or
rotate the element to ensure the internal lip is properly
engaged in the groove (Figure #3).
If properly installed, the urethane top of the element will not
touch the underside of the tubesheet.
2. Loosely install the clamp between the outer groove markings
on the urethane top. The clamp should be on the top, just tight
enough to stay in place. Do not re-install used clamps.
