1.0 INTRODUCTION
J.L. Wingert Corrosion Coupon Racks are designed to closely monitor most water
systems’ corrosion rate. PVC and CPVC coupon racks are mounted to a 1/4" thick
PVC backboard. Carbon steel and stainless steel models are mounted on 7/8"
Unistrut®. Plastic models come standard with uniquely designed quick disconnect
coupon holder(s). Carbon steel and stainless steel models use a plug and rod
design coupon holder. Wingert Corrosion Coupon Racks standard models are
available in PVC, CPVC, carbon steel and 316 stainless steel with one to six
coupon holders and isolation valves. Corrosion coupon racks may be installed
either vertically or horizontally.

5.0 LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Corrosion Coupon Racks are designed for indoor/outdoor applications. PVC and
CPVC models should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Carbon steel and 316
stainless steel models can be exposed to direct sunlight. All application
parameters should be checked for maximum temperature, pressure and chemical
compatibility.
6.0 SAFETY
J.L. Wingert Company’s equipment is designed and built with safety in mind.
However, proper installation and operation can increase your overall safety.
DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT
READING THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED
THROUGHOUT.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
6.1 SAFETY HIGHLIGHTS
Read and understand the following safety highlights.
WATER PRESSURE INSIDE THE UNIT
See design specification for maximum operating
pressure. Do not perform maintenance or repair
without first releasing all pressure and drain the
fluid from the unit.
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION LABEL
Identification label provides equipment
information.

7.0 INSTALLATION
Install corrosion coupon rack to wall or panel utilizing appropriate hardware. DO
NOT over tighten mounting bolts on PVC and CPVC models. A minimum of 11" is
required to remove the coupon holders.
Corrosion coupon racks are designed to be mounted either horizontally or
vertically. The factory standard setting is horizontal. Be sure to plumb system flow
from bottom to top on the corrosion coupon rack.

NOTE: Pressure/Temperature ratings are for standard units only. To see pressure and temperature
limitations for options, please refer to the specific option specification sheet.
9.0 FLOW RATE
Flow rate determination is a critical part of installing a corrosion coupon rack.
Your water consultant or chemical supplier should be able to help you. If not,
contact the factory for assistance. A velocity of 3-5 feet per second (fps) is ideal.
10.0 SAMPLE COUPONS
Wingert Corrosion Coupon Racks are not supplied with sample coupons.
Coupons may be obtained from your local supplier, through your water consultant
or chemical supplier. Typically coupon suppliers also provide lab analysis of the
corrosion rate.
11.0 MAINTENANCE
BE SURE TO CLOSE THE ISOLATION VALVES SUPPLIED BEFORE DOING
ANY MAINTENANCE.
Corrosion coupon racks need very little maintenance. The only maintenance
needed is infrequent checking for leaks or cracks that may be created by water
hammer or abuse. When ordered, Y-Strainers may need servicing depending on
system cleanliness.
