When installing storz couplings, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the card slots are aligned. The alignment of card slots is a key step in ensuring a stable connection and good sealing performance of storz couplings. Due to the fact that storz couplings are commonly used for transmission of high pressure, high temperature, or special media, they have high requirements for the accuracy and stability of the connection.
During installation, ensure that the slots of the two connectors are perfectly aligned so that they can be smoothly inserted and locked together. If the card slot is not aligned, it may cause problems such as loose connections, leaks, or damaged joints. Therefore, before installation, carefully check whether the slot of the joint is clean and undamaged, and ensure that it is in the correct position.
During installation, it is usually necessary to insert the flange portion of one joint into the groove of another joint, then rotate and push in until a locking sound or sensation is heard or felt. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the force is moderate to avoid excessive force causing damage to the slot or deformation of the joint.
After installation, the connection status of the joints should be checked to confirm that the card slots are fully aligned and locked. At the same time, necessary tests should be conducted to verify the sealing performance and stability of the joint. If any problems are found, adjustments or replacement of the connector should be made promptly.
