ADA Anchor Installation Notes:
Each pair of ADA(H) all directional anchors provides high frequency
noise and vibration isolation for those locations where movement must
be controlled. When the anchors are attached to piping as shown
in Illustration 1 below, all expansion will be directed from this point.
Anchors are always used in pairs.

VSG Installation Notes:
Each pair of VSG guides provides high frequency noise
and vibration isolation for those locations where movement must be guided
in the axial direction. Guides are always used in pairs.
When pairs of VSG Guides are used as shown in the illustrations
bellow right, radial motion is controlled while axial motion is guided.
Standard VSG Guides can be set to accommodate:
a) 0 Upward Movement and 3-1/4" Downward Movement.
b) 3-1/4" Upward Movement and 0" Downward Movement.
c) 1-5/8" Upward or Downward Movement.
d) Special settings as required and certified.

Note B If the anchor is next to the joint on
one side, no guide is needed on that side.
Note C Guides beyond the anchor may be spaced as in a straight
solid run since there is no thrust force.
To more clearly define and control riser load
shifts caused by pie expansion and contraction, strategically placed spring
supports may be incorporated. See hanger Bulletin H-610-3w for a
detailed description of this method using type SLF Steel Spring Mounts
or type HES Pipe Expansion Hangers.
