The Model 792-20 Dispense Valve is designed for applications that require ON/OFF dispensing of beads
and/or dots. It has dispensing capability for material viscosities ranging from water-type material to high
viscosity epoxies and metal filled pastes. This valve also has a fail-safe design to prevent material dumping in case of a power failure. All wetted parts are disposable for easy maintenance and cleaning. The
792-20 ships complete with the following:
Model 792-20 Dispense Valve
One 3 foot (.9 m) section of pneumatic air line
One material hose (type as ordered)
Seal Kit
Operating and Maintenance Manual
SAFETY INFORMATION
This product should be used onlyby employees who have been given appropriate training and safety
warnings as set forth in this manual. Read completely before operating.
Warning: Do not exceed 100 psi (6.9 bar) pressure on the operating system or 60 psi (4.1 bar) material
supply pressure. Higher pressures are not required and may cause a serious hazard.
Toxicity and flammability hazards depend upon the product being dispensed by this unit, and the user
should take appropriate safety precautions as indicated on the MSDS of the product.
Always wear safety glasses.
ILLUSTRATION REFERENCES

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
1. The normal ready state of the system is as follows:
The syringe or remote reservoir contains the dispensable material.
The system has been purged, filling the material hose and needle with material.
The Pinch-off Piston (11) is not pressurized, but is held back by the Springs (10) closing the
Material Hose (16) and holding back the dispensable material.
2. The dispense cycle begins when the controller is activated.
3. The Pinch-off Piston (11) moves forward to release the Material Hose (16) allowing material to flow.
4. To complete the dispense cycle, the Pinch-off Piston (11) is pushed back by the Springs (10), sealing
the Material Hose (16) to prevent material drip. The system is again in the normal ready state.
SETUP PROCEDURES
MOUNTING DISPENSE VALVE
For optimum operation, the Model 792-20 Dispense Valve must be mounted on a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
support rod post or frame. When mounting, affix the valve firmly in place by tightening the socket head
cap screw with a 5/32 inch Allen wrench. Depending on the application, the valve may be tilted to a
maximum of 600 from the vertical.
AIR CONTROLLER
Operation of the Model 792-20 Dispense Valve requires a controller that can provide the following:
A minimum of 0.5 SCFM (2.3 cm3) of dry, unlubricated air at a minimum pressure of 4.8 bar (70 psi)
and a maximum of 6.9 bar (100 psi).
Time delay capability to allow the valve to cycle.
Independent air pressure regulators for material reservoir and valve operation.
“Purge capability” which is the ability for the operator to pass or not pass air to the Pinch-off Piston
(11) on the dispense valve.
For semiautomatic or automatic applications, a foot switch or other control to cycle the valve.
Connection for .16” ID x .25” OD(6.35mm) pressure tubing for use between the dispense valve and
controller.
Connection for .16” ID x .25” OD(6.35mm) pressure tubing for use between the controller and syringe.
NOTE: The material supply must be regulated to a maximum of 60 psi (4.1 bar).

OPERATING PROCEDURES
DRY SYSTEM CHECKOUT
This is an initial checkout to determine if the setup has been properly completed.
Conduct the dry system checkout without any material in the system.
1. Attach the color-coded pneumatic pressure line from the air inlet fitting on the valve to the color-coded
cycle air outlet on the air supply controller.
2. Turn on the electric and air supply.
3. Set the air pressure to 70 psi (4.8 bar) on the system pressure gauge.
4. In the normal rest position the Pinch-off Piston (11) is held back by the Springs (10), sealing the
Material Hose (18).
5. Momentarily press the dispense valve cycling control switch. The Pinch-off Piston (11) is pressurized
to release the Material Hose (18). The controller air solenoid valve should cycle and cause a slight
fluctuation in the system pressure gauge. When this happens, the system is correctly installed.
MATERIAL LOADING
REMOTE MOUNTED MATERIAL SUPPLY
Connect the Material Hose either directly to the material supply reservoir or to material supply tubing that
connects to the material supply reservoir. When using a remote reservoir, the material supply tubing and
fittings must be compatible with the material being dispensed and be capable of withstanding the
dispensing pressure.
Warning: Do not exceed 100 psi (6.9 bar) pressure on the operating system or 60 psi (4.1 bar) material
supply pressure. Higher pressures are not required and may cause a serious hazard.
WARNING: Do not apply either operating or reservoir air pressure to the product unless all screws are in
place and properly tightened, and the receiver cap and/or reservoir lid is properly in place and tightened.
All air connections should be fastened securely.
WET SYSTEM CHECKOUT
Using the purge cycle on the air supply controller, run the material through the dispense line until a
smooth material flow is observed through the dispensing outlet.
After the purge cycle has been completed, set the air supply controller to the manual cycle mode and
cycle the Dispense Valve several times.
