NOTES:
1. Standard water nozzles are furnished as welding stub-outs with Victaulic grooves, allowing the option of welding, flanges, or use of Victaulic cou-
plings. Factory-installed, class 150 (ANSI B16.5, round slip-on, forged carbon steel with 1.6 mm raised face), water flanged nozzles are optional
(add 13 mm to nozzle length). Companion flanges, nuts, bolts, and gaskets are not furnished.
2. Add 25 mm if neoprene pads are supplied.
3. One-, two- and three-pass nozzle arrangements are available only in pairs shown and for all shell codes. Any pair of evaporator nozzles may be
used in combination with any pair of condenser nozzles.
4. Connected piping should allow for removal of compact water boxes for tube access and cleaning.
