6. Once the barrel pressure equals to the line pressure, open the service
valve to full open position.
7. Carefully remove the wooden clamp and slowly collapse the retriever.
8. Once the solid / hollow plug assembly is properly seated onto the top of
the access fitting assembly, slowly turn the outer barrel clockwise to
screw the plug assembly into the access fitting assembly.
9. Once the plug is properly crewed into the access fitting, open the bleed
valve to depressurize the retriever barrel.
10. Re-close the bleed valve and observe for any pressure built up.
11. Lift the outer barrel to remove the socket adapter pilot from the plug

12. Slowly turn the barrel counterclockwise to unscrew the socket adapter
from the plug assembly.
Note : Observe for any pressure built up. Should the pressure built up,
stop the turning. This may cause by unscrewing of the hollow /
solid plug assembly, so turn the barrel clockwise to re-screw the
plug assembly into the access fitting assembly.
13. Extend the retriever and clamp the inner barrel with the wooden clamp.
14. Open the bleed valve.
15. Slowly remove the retriever and the service valve.
16. Adjust the probe or coupon position to face to the required direction.
17. Screw in the pipe plug.
18. Re-install the protective cover.

6.0 SAFETY PRECAUTION

installing probe :

1. Make sure all equipment in good and reliable condition, by testing and
Checking prior to use
2. The job shall be performed by 2 people as minimum
3. The job performer shall be well-trained in using the equipment
4. All plant safety/environment requirements shall be followed
5. Identify in service operation condition: work location fluid type,
temperature and Pressure, take any necessary action to mitigate
Potentials hazard
6. Always use proper and standardized PPE (Personnel Protective
