The initial radial seal is obtained by tightening the end bolts at each end of the barrel. - Depending on the size and weight of the product, a hinge construction will be provided to lift the split barrel over the pipe.
- A vent is installed for testing purpose and to enable the medium to escape during installation. A suitable vent valve is not included.
