Seems easy enough, but many people make a common mistake.
One of the most frequent oversights when installing a snap band is excessive bending. Because the bands can bend so easily, it is often unnoticed when this excessive bending is happening. Bending the ring too much will result in a kink in the ring which will not allow the bag to properly snap into place in the tube sheet. So remember to deform the band as little as possible in order to install the filter.

Another typical error comes from attempting to bend the snap band from the wrong side. A seam on the material of the filter bag that covers the ring should be noticeable. It’s vital to note that the bend should take place on the opposite side of this seam. Bending the band on the side where the seam is located can cause wrinkles. These wrinkles can cause emissions to escape from the system and produce hefty fines for not staying compliant with EPA guidelines.
Installing snap bands can be a straightforward process. By remembering the little details that go into these types of baghouse filters you ensure a smooth install.
