Before valve mounting the pipes have to be
cleaned and free from abrasion. Valve must
be mounted according to flow direction as
indicated on valve body except by diverting,
where valve can be mounted oposite to the
flow direction (flow oposite to indication on
the valve body). Mechanical loads of the valve
body caused by the pipes are not allowed. Valve
should be free of vibrations as well.

Note:
Install a strainer upstream of the
valve (e.g. D anfoss FVR/ FVF)
Installation of the valve with the actuator is
allowed in horizontal position or upwards.
Installation downwards is not allowed.
Always install the valve with the arrow on
the body in the same direction as the flow. In
order to avoid turbulence, which will affect the
measuring accuracy, it is recommended to have a
straight length of pipe up and down stream from
the valve as shown (D - diameter of pipe).

Mixing or diverting connection
3-way valve can be used either as mixing or
diverting valve (fig.1).
If 3-way valve is installed as mixing valve
meaning that A and B ports are inlet ports, and
AB port is outlet port it can be installed in mixing
(fig.2) or diverting application (fig.3).
3-way valve can be also installed as diverting
valve in diverting application (fig.4) meaning that
AB port is inlet and A and B ports are outlets.
Note:
Maximal closing pressure for mixing and diverting
insta llation are no t the same. Plea se refer to value s stated
in Technical data section.
