Installation Procedure

1. Accurately measure and mark the sheet for desired cutouts based on filtration system requirements. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., waterjet, laser, or plasma cutter) designed for stainless steel to achieve precise dimensions and clean edges. 3. Deburr all cut edges to remove any sharp protrusions and ensure smooth surface finish for optimal fluid flow and operator safety.
