How to install corrosion coupons and access fittings
Installation of access fittings
1- Open the lid.
2- Loosen the plug with a suitable wrench and then remove it completely from the fitting with your hand.
3- The empty fitting should be installed on the pipe (for the welded type, it is welded on the pipe and for the flange type, it is connected with a suitable bolt and nut and using a suitable gasket).
Note 1: The operation of the fitting installation on the pipe must be done in the condition of the line without pressure and clean of dangerous fluid. Installing of access fittings in working conditions is dangerous.
Note 2: The gasket must be suitable for the relevant line pressure.
Note 3: The method of welding on the pipe should be done according to the standard desired by the client.

2- Install and mount the coupon holder on the screw at the end of the plug – instead of the opened nut.
3- Tighten the screws of the holder with a wrench.
4- The appropriate coupons are taken out of the envelope, the serial number and its weight should be noted.
5- The relevant coupon of any suitable type should be installed and tightened with a holder.
