of the range of normal cold-to-hot movement (e.g. cold pull of pipe), the snubber
(Commercial) should not be installed until after the equipment is in its cold position. This
eliminates the need of providing for the extra travel in the snubber’s stroke. For
2 1⁄2” through 8” snubbers, standard strokes are 5”, 10”, 15”, and 20”. For the 1
1⁄2” snubber, 5” and 10” are the only standard strokes.

(3) Installed piston setting: As indicated previously, the snubber should be

installed at its cold piston position if possible. From the installed position, take
extension (outward movement) of the piston rod as positive (+) and retraction as
negative (-).

(4) Installed piston position

Stroke – (Algebraic Sum of Movements)

To aid in measuring the piston position, we have shown a dimension, “Z”. This
dimension represents the distance between the cylinder head and the end of
the rod when the rod is fully retracted. Whenever specifying the position at
which the piston rod is to be set, the total dimension from the cylinder head to
the end of the rod should be given. Thus, Piston Setting = Piston Position + Z.

If neither a Fig. 200 nor a Fig. 201 can be accommodated, and the installation

dimension, “Z”. This dimension represents the distance between the cylinder
head and the end of the rod when the rod is fully retracted. Whenever specifying
the position at which the piston rod is to be set, the total dimension from the
cylinder head to the end of the rod should be given. Thus, piston setting=piston
position +Z.

(4) Assembly length: Determine the installed “C” dimension by adding the
installed piston position (not setting) to C minimum. Lay in takeout dimensions
E and/or B, and find required pin-to-pin snubber length. If a pin-to-pin length
adjustment is desired, use Fig. 3307. Calculate the required “W” dimension by
subtracting (C installed + F) from the required pin-to-pin length. If this is less
than W minimum, only a Fig. 3306 can be used, and one of the attachments
will have to be moved or shimmed to suit. If a Fig. 3306 is to be used, make
sure that the required pin-to-pin length is at least as great as (C installed + B). If
neither a Fig. 3306 nor a Fig. 3307 can be accommodated, and the installation
cannot be modified, consult your Anvil representative about designing a special
or modified unit.

(5) Installed piston setting: As indicated previously, the snubber should be

installed at its cold piston position if possible. From the installed position, take
extension (outward movement) of the piston rod as positive (+) and retraction as
negative (-). Installed piston position =

Anvil’s The unique design of Anvil’s Fig. 312 Tapered Pin facilitates easy removal at time
of rebuild or testing, particularly in corrosive environments. The tapered pin,
Tapered Pin: available in 3/8” through 2 ½” nominal diameters, consists of a tapered center
pin which is inserted into a slotted sleeve. The sleeve expands to the nominal
Fast, Easy Removal diameter when the hex nut is tightened. Larger sizes are available on request.

Removing the pin is accomplished by removing the cotter pin and loosening the
slotted hex nut and washer or loosening jam nuts. A slight tap with a hammer
on the nut end is generally sufficient to loosen the pin inside the sleeve and
remove the entire assembly from the bracket.

This design sharply reduces the time necessary to remove a badly corroded
conventional pin and may also eliminate damage to the bushing and bracket
assembly, particularly if the pin and bracket are corroded. In nuclear stations, this
feature complements ALARA standards by reducing personnel exposure time.
