INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION
DYNAMIC BALANCED
TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE
The FlowCon EVS plug-in insert is for use with three different FlowCon valve housings, either FlowCon A, FlowCon AB or FlowCon ABV1.
Install the selected valve housing as called for in the design drawings. Although the performance of the valve is not affected either way, industry standards call for balancing devices to be in­stalled on the downstream side of the terminal unit. Especially for the ABV1 with its isolation ball valve, it is recommended to ensure the iso­lation valve is downstream of the balancing device. INSTALL THE VALVE HOUSING WITH THE FLOW DIRECTIONAL ARROW POINTING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
FlowCon A valve (Model Nos. A15.X,
The A20.X and A25.I.K) is available with fixed female­by-female threaded connections, i.e. figure 1.
DN
15/20
Figure 1
The thread standard for the A model is either ISO 228, which is a straight metric thread (compatible with BS-2779) or NPT threading standard, depending on the product number ordered.
For all threaded connections pls. clear threads on both valve and piping of debris. Sealant such as pipe dope or teflon tape is recommended.
WHEN USING HEMP AS PIPE SEALANT, ENSURE NO STRANDS ARE LEFT IN THE VALVE OR PIPING.
FlowCon AB valve (Model Nos. AB15.X,
The AB20.X and AB25.I.K) is similarly available with fixed female-by-female threaded connections, i.e. figure 2.
DN
15/20
Figure 2
The thread standard for the AB model is equal to what is available for the A model.
For all threaded connections pls. clear threads on both valve and piping of debris. Sealant such as pipe dope or teflon tape is recommended. WHEN USING HEMP AS PIPE SEALANT, ENSURE NO STRANDS ARE LEFT IN THE VALVE OR PIPING.
Pressure/temperature fittings (p/t plugs) are available upon request for the AB valve. Before finger mounting the p/t plugs in the body tappings, pls. seal the threads of the p/t plugs (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
Alternatively to p/t plugs, the valve body can be ordered with plugs for the body tappings. Each plug is sealed by a gasket.

The FlowCon ABV valve (Model No. ABV1) is available with double union end connections, i.e. figure 3.
DN
15/20/25
Figure 3
Two types of end connections are available for use with the union nut:
Threaded (male or female):
The thread standard is ISO 228 which is a straight metric thread (compatible with BS-2779) or NPT threading standard, depending on the end connections ordered. The threads on both the connection and piping should be cleaned carefully. As these models are union end con­nected, the union nuts and the end connections should be removed for installation.
O-rings are supplied with the valve body and used to seal the connections. It is recommended to grease the o-rings with silicone grease before installation. IMPORTANT: Never use mineral oil or petrol based grease or oil on the o-rings. Please make sure these are in place in the o-ring grooves in the inlet and outlet of the valve body, when installing the housing and REMEMBER TO TIGHTEN THE UNION NUTS TO ENSURE SEALING.
For all threaded connections pls. clear threads on both valve and piping of debris. Sealant such as pipe dope or teflon tape is recommended. WHEN USING HEMP AS PIPE SEALANT, ENSURE NO STRANDS ARE LEFT IN THE VALVE OR PIPING.
Soldered end (sweat):
REMOVE THE END CONNECTIONS FROM THE HOUSING BEFORE SOLDERING. THIS ENSURES
THAT THE O-RINGS AND INTER-
NAL PARTS ARE NOT DAMAGED BY HEAT.
Pressure/temperature fittings (p/t plugs) are available upon request for the ABV valve. Before finger mounting the p/t plugs in the body tappings, pls. seal the threads of the p/t plugs (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
Alternatively to p/t plugs, the valve body can be ordered with plugs for the body tappings. Each plug is sealed by a gasket.
Inserting the cartridge
The factory pre-set stainless steel flow control cartridge is fitted into the EVS insert from the bottom and is held in position by the lock ring screwed onto the EVS insert. It is recommended that the o-rings located around the EVS insert, in the bottom and in the middle, are lubricated with silicone grease, be­fore the EVS insert is installed into the valve body. IMPORTANT: Never use mineral oil or petrol based grease or oil on the o-rings.
NOTE: When applying the flow control car­tridge, please make sure that the cartridge o­ring is placed on the inside groove at the top of the EVS insert BEFORE inserting the cartridge! Hereafter the cartridge is easily inserted with a hard push. Once you hear a click sound, it is properly placed and the cartridge is correctly fitted. Screw on the lock ring and insert the EVS insert into the valve body. The cartridge can be removed by unscrewing the lock ring and pulling out the cartridge. The cartridge o-ring will also come out. Insert the new o-ring and afterwards insert the new cartridge as described above.

Actuators:
The actuator types FlowCon EV.0.2, EV.0.3,
EV.0.4 and EV.0.5
with a separate green colored adaptor nut. Use this adaptor nut and screw it finger tight to the connection thread at top of the EVS insert. Do not use additional tools. The actuator can now be fitted to the adaptor nut. A click noise will indicate that the actuator is fitted into a correct position.
The visor on the FlowCon EV.0.2 actuator is used to activate a release mechanism and when pushed, the actuator can be released and re­moved from the adaptor nut. By removing the visor after fitting the actuator, the actuator becomes tamper proof. Similar for the FlowCon EV.0.3, EV.0.4 and EV.0.5 actuators, these are released by pushing the button in the front side of the actuator and then removing the actuator from the adaptor nut.
To ensure that the valve is in an open position during commissioning of the system, all men­tioned actuators will be delivered in a Normally Open position and remain in this position until they are electrically operated first time. During FIRST TIME POWERING operating voltage is applied for approximately 6 minutes.
(i.e. figure 5) are supplied

General.
It is recommended flushing the system before installing the cartridge in the valve body. Suitable flushing caps are available. Water must always be suitable treated, clean and free of debris. It is recommended that a strainer be installed prior to the valve body to prevent damage or blockage due to debris. Ensure that the valve is not in the fully closed position when filling the system with water.
Warranty obligation.
Failure to abide by all recommendations as per this installation and operation instruction will void warranty.
