5.6 Off-line Threaded Connection Seal (S26TT)The off-line threaded remote seal connects directly to a process pipe via the NPT connection in the lower housing. Connectionsfor 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/2 in. process piping are available. In addition to the process connection, mechanical support for theweight of the seal may be required, especially for the 1/4 and 1/2-inch pipe sizes.These elements are available with a flushing connection in the lower housing. The connection provides a 1/4 in. NPT port into thecavity around the seal diaphragm to permit flushing to remove trapped solids, when necessary. The flushing connection alsoprovides a means of checking calibration without disconnecting the element. A gate or ball valve installed in the process line nearthe seal element connection allows the process to be isolated and calibration pressure can then be applied via the flushingconnection. Use of a gate or ball type valve avoids restricting the process line during normal operation, not a gasket.Connect the seal element to the process pipe at the NPT connection in the end of the lower housing.If the element has a flushing connection, connect a flushing line with appropriate valving to the 1/4 in. NPT connection in the sideof the lower housing.THREADEDPROCESSCONNECTIONGASKETØ D134 (5.27)QFLUSHINGCONNECTIONS(two 1/4 in.
