Installation
FIG. 2 shows the dispense valves installed in an electronic 2-component proportioning system. In this example, the dispense valves are used as dose valves for
components A and B (DVA, DVB), an air purge valve
(APV), and a solvent purge valve (SPV).

IG. 3 shows a pneumatic schematic of a complete
2-component proportioning system, in which the dispense valves are also used as A and B dump valves,
and color change valves.
Connect the Air Lines
Clean all lines and connections of dirt, burrs, etc., and
blow them out with clean air before connecting them to
the system. The air supply line should contain an air filter to remove harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air.
Use a normally closed 4-way air solenoid valve to control the dispense valve. Attach 5/32 in. (4 mm) OD air
supply lines from the 4-way valve to the air inlets of the
dispense valve.
Accessories
Two accessories are required in your system: a
bleed-type master air valve and a fluid drain valve.
These accessories help reduce the risk of serious injury
including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the
skin, and injury from moving parts if you are adjusting or
repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve is required only with
air-powered pumps. It relieves air trapped between this
valve and the pump after the air regulator is shut off.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly.
Locate the valve close to the pump.
The fluid drain valve helps relieve fluid pressure in the
displacement pump, hose, and dispense valve; triggering the valve to relieve pressure may not be sufficient.
Connect the Fluid Lines
Connect a grounded fluid line from the pump or meter to
the 1/4 npt fluid inlet of the dispense valve adapter.
If fluid is supplied by a pump, install a fluid pressure regulator upstream of the dispense valve. A fluid regulator
enables you to control fluid pressure more accurately
than by regulating air pressure to the pump.
Install a fluid filter to remove particles and sediment
which may clog the nozzle.
Grounding
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump
and all other components used or located in the dispensing area. Check your local electrical code for
detailed instructions for your area and type of equipment
and be sure to ground all of these components.
• Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses
with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity.
• Dispense valve: obtain grounding through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
