Major Components

1. Valve Top: A high strength metal die cast top which is secured to the valve body by eight stainless steel screws.

2. Valve Body: A high strength metal die cast housing.

3. Inlet: Female 1 ½" NPT inlet for connection to water source.

4. Vacuum Breaker Port: Used to prevent back-siphon of water to course.

5. Valve Bottom: High strength ABS plastic bottom which is secured to a valve body with 6

stainless steel screws.

6. Outlets - Allows for slip and glue connection to 1 ½" PVC pipe.

Cam Replacement Instructions

Replacement cams are available to increase or decrease the number of outlets to be used on the 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve. 6400 Series four

outlet valves have interchangeable cams for two, three or four zone operation. 6600 Series six outlet valves have interchangeable cams for ve or six zone

operation.

To replace cam, rst remove valve top by removing eight valve top retaining screws. Remove two cam retaining screws which hold cam on the underside of

the valve top.

Insert replacement cam into valve top, ensuring that the wide notch on came is aligned with notch on valve top, and secure with two cam retaining screws.

Replace top, ensuring body seal is in place.

Valve Installation Instructions

Prior to installation of 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve, make sure that the system is designed using adequate pipe sizes and control valves to ensure maximum performance of the valve.

For installation with large terrain elevations, or applications with high lift requirements such as overhead systems in greenhouses, the valve should be

installed at the highest point in the system, or check-valves should be installed near the valve in the elevated lines to prevent the back ow of water from

the higher locations to the lower zones.

When connecting the lines to the valve outlets, ensure that the correct cam is installed. See diagram for proper zone hookup of outlets.

Do NOT turn the valve upside down when gluing the lines into the open valve outlets. Glue may run down into the valve and interfere with valve operation. Allow glue to dry for at least two hours before operating or testing the valve. For best results, use a multipurpose glue which is compatible with ABS plastic.

To seal off any unused outlets, install a piece of PVC pipe at least six inches in length to the outlet and cap the pipe. This will allow additional zones to be added easily at a later time. Make sure proper cam is installed for number of zones to be used.

Pump Fed Application

For direct pump-fed installations, the 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve is directly connected to the discharge side of the pump and is cycled from one zone to the next by turning the pump off and on. See the Active Zone Diagram below in Figure 1.

Problem Cause Solution

Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet.

Water comes out of all the valve outlets.

Valve skips outlets or zones.

Troubleshooting and Service Checklist

Debris or foreign objects preventing proper movement of stem and disk assembly.

Disk may have expanded and is rubbing against inside walls of body.

Restriction of ow causing pressure

in valve to build up, preventing valve from cycling.

Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.

This will case the valve to cycle quickly several times, skipping one or more zones.

• Remove valve top and check for foreign objects. Clean build-up from walls as necessary.

• Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.

• Replace disk and clean build-up from walls of valve as necessary.

• Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped

and that the ow to operating zones is not

restricted in any manner.

• The backow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling properly. If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve.

• Check for sufcient water ow. A minimum of 15 GPM is required to properly seat the disk.

• Remove the valve top and clean the inside walls as necessary to ensure that nothing is interfering with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.

• Make sure that the operating outlets are no

capped and that the ow to the operating zones

is not restricted in any manner.

• Replace disk if necessary.

• The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.

• Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve.

All Clarus Environmental products must be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable codes.
