1. Remove old bags and cages from the collector. The clean air plenum should be thoroughly cleaned after
removing the used bags and cages. Clean the top surface and inside surface of the tubesheet hole so the
urethane top will seal on a clean smooth metal surface. Remove any sharp edges prior to installing the fil-
ter elements as they can cause tears in the urethane tops of the filter elements.
Note for TEXusers: The surface of your TEX 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. We recommend
using an installation sleeve to protect the media during installation of the element into tubesheet.
If top load sleeve: Insert the provided installation sleeve in the tubesheet 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 instal-
lation sleeve off over the top of the element and com-
plete the installation. (Figure #1)Inspect each filter
element for damage from shipping, storage or
handling.
Do not use damaged elements; they may leak or fail
prematurely.
3. Gently push the flexible urethane top of the
filter element on one side until it snaps into
the tubesheet hole (Figure #3). Then push the
opposite side of the top of the element until it
is securely snapped into the tubesheet hole
(Figure #4).
4. The top flange should be
flat on the surface of the tubesheet. Do not use
excessive force or stand on the filter elements to
snap them into place. The groove in the urethane
top of the element should be securely seated in
the tubesheet hole (Figure #5).
2. Slowly lower the filter element T
through the tubesheet hole without touching the
sides of the hole as much as possible (Figure #2).
Hitting the sides can cause damage to the filter
media pleats. Protect the media surface
whenever possible.
