Key Specifications

Product Highlights

• Sanitary-grade clamp-cover assembly designed for FDA-compliant fluid systems.
• Ensures the cover remains securely locked during high-pressure operation, protecting internal components and sealing fluid paths.
• Precision-machined design for exact fit on 1040-series housings, minimizing gaps and ensuring consistent sealing.
• Simplifies maintenance by offering quick access via clamp action while maintaining hygiene and integrity in service environments.

Installation & Use Notes

Prior to installation, depressurize the system and isolate it from fluid supply. Remove the existing cover clamp assembly, clean the mounting flange and inspect for wear or damage. Place the 15G698 clamp-cover over the housing, align it correctly with bolt holes or latching studs, then secure to the correct torque or clamp setting. Reconnect the system, pressurize slowly and monitor for any signs of looseness, leakage or misalignment before returning to full operation.

Maintenance & Care

• Inspect the clamp mechanism regularly for wear, corrosion or loss of clamp tension.
• Ensure the cover sealing surface and gasket (if used) remain clean, unscratched and free from fluid residue or build-up.
• Check that all fasteners or clamp segments remain secure and have not relaxed under repeated cycling or thermal stress.
