312782Dispense Valve
1. Connect 5/32 in. (4 mm) OD air tubes from the valve
solenoids to the air inlets of each valve.
2. ProMix 2KS and ProMix 3KS systems only: Connect
an air supply line to air purge valve (APV) inlet (1/4
in. ID tube is supplied, with tag).
3. Pressurize the system with air, and check for leaks,
then relieve air pressure.
Fluid Connections
See FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3.
1. Connect the solvent supply line to the 1/4 npt(f) solvent purge valve (SPV) inlet.
2. Connect the component A supply line to the meter A
(MA) 1/4 npt(f) inlet.
3. Connect the component B supply line to the meter B
(MB) 1/4 npt(f) inlet.
4. ProMix 3KS systems only: Connect the component
C supply line to the meter C (MC) 1/4 npt(f) inlet.
5. Connect the gun fluid supply line between the static
mixer tube (SM) and the gun fluid inlet.
NOTE: On ProMix 3KS systems only, connect the fluid
hose (supplied with your system) between the ProMix
2KS static mixer and the fluid inlet of the ProMix 3KS.
Then connect the gun hose to the static mixer of the
ProMix 3KS.
Grounding
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces
the risk of static and electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current due to static build
up or in the event of a short circuit.
Connect a ground wire from a true earth ground to the
mix manifold or the mix manifold mounting surface if
there is electrical continuity between it and the mix manifold.
Follow the specific grounding instructions in the system
and individual component manuals. The system may
have special grounding requirements for the mix manifold.
A ground wire and clamp, part no. 223547, is available
from Graco.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
Purging, page 7.

Installation
Setup the Fluid Manifold for
Dynamic Dosing
If you will be operating using dynamic dosing, the fluid
manifold must be setup properly for your application.
Order the 15U955 Injection Kit (accessory).
NOTE: For ProMix 3KS, order two 15U955 Injection
Kits.
See your proportioner manuals for setup instructions,
and to select the appropriate size restrictor for your
selected flow and ratio.

Purging
Follow the purging procedure in the proportioner system
manual.
NOTES:
•Purge before using equipment, which was tested
with lightweight oil that could contaminate your
material.
•Purge before changing colors, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.
•Purge at the lowest pressure possible. Check connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
•Use a cleaning fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
NOTICE
Purge the sampling valves with solvent immediately
after using them to keep material from hardening
inside.
Operation Guidelines
Manifold operation is dependent on the system it is connected to. Follow the system operation instructions.
NOTE: After the system has been shut down for a
period of time, it is normal for component solenoids and
valves to cycle rapidly until system pressure is built back
up when restarted.
•Purge air from fluid lines when components are
loaded.
•Adjust fluid supply pressure if the fluid output is
too low or too high.
•Adjust flow rate with fluid supply pressure regula-
tors (optional) or dispense valves. Flow rate should
be the same at the spray gun regardless of whether
component dispense valves are open. Pressure
adjustments of each component will vary with fluid
viscosity. Start with the same fluid pressures, then
adjust as needed. See Mix Manifold Valve Set-tings, page 8.
•Adjust gun atomizing air pressure as needed.
NOTE: Do not use the first 4-5 oz. (120-150 cc) of material as it may not be thoroughly mixed due to alarms
while priming the system.
