Install the FlowCon SH valve either in
the supply or return pipe work for the unit.
It is recommended that a strainer be installed
prior to the valve body to prevent damage
or blockage due to debris. INSTALL THE
VALVE HOUSING WITH THE FLOW
DIRECTIONAL ARROW POINTING IN
THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
The valve body is available with double union
end connections, i.e. figure 1.
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 a 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 please 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
INTERNAL PARTS ARE NOT DAMAGED
BY HEAT.
Valve bodies are as standard supplied
with body tappings plugged.
Alternatively, the valve body can be ordered
with pressure/temperature fittings (p/t plugs)
for the body tappings. Before finger mounting the p/t plugs in the body tappings,
please seal the threads of the p/t plugs.
(DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
