DESCRIPTION
The Hale Semi-Automatic Priming Valve (Hale SPV) (shown in figure 1) is a diaphragm operated type valve that opens using the vacuum generated by the priming pump. The Hale SPV mounts directly to the priming connection of a Hale midship pump. Additionally, a universal adapter that bolts to an installer supplied bracket is available to permit use of the Hale SPV on booster and volute type pumps. The installer must also supply hose connections from the adapter to the pump priming connection. The Hale SPV operates from the vacuum generated by the priming pump when the momentary contact push­button located on the pump operator panel is depressed. The Hale SPV conforms to NFPA requirements for priming time and hydrostatic test when bolted to Hale midship type pumps. Each valve is factory tested to 24 in (610 mm) hg vacuum and 600 PSIG (41 BAR).
When used on a midship fire pump, the valve mounts to the pump body with two studs and nuts, standard strainer and seal
ring. Mounted on the midship fire pump, in close proximity to the priming pump, only a short length of 3/4 inch (19 mm) ID vacuum hose connects the Hale SPV to the priming pump, eliminating potential leak points in the priming hose. The short length of hose also reduces the volume that the priming pump must evacuate allowing faster priming time and longer primer life. The priming pump motor operates by a sealed momentary contact push-button located on the pump operator panel of the apparatus. There are NO hose connections at the pump operator panel thus saving valuable space.
Depressing and holding the PRIME push­button will energize the priming pump motor creating a vacuum in the 3/4 inch (19 mm) ID hose. As sufficient vacuum is created the diaphragm will depress the spring allowing the priming valve to open. Once the Hale SPV opens, the priming pump creates a vacuum in the main pump body, priming the main pump. Once primed, as indicated by water discharging

INSTALLATION
When ordered as an option on a new midship fire pump the Hale SPV valve assembly is already attached to the pump body with the vacuum hose connected to the priming pump when the primer is ordered mounted to the gearbox. All that remains after the midship pump is mounted on the apparatus frame is to install the panel placard and push­button on the pump operator panel and make the electrical connections from the switch to the battery and priming pump solenoid. If the midship pump was ordered with the primer shipped loose then the primer must be attached to the apparatus and priming hose must be attached to the Hale SPV hose connection.

MAINTENANCE
The Hale SPV is designed to provide trouble free service with a minimum of preventive maintenance. Performance degradation can result from a ruptured diaphragm or worn seat on the valve. A Hale SPV repair kit that contains a manual, seal ring, valve and diaphragm is available from Hale Products, Inc. The repair kit part number is 546-1680-00-0
Hale SPV Test Procedures:
Performance of the Hale SPV shall be tested monthly. The following procedures shall be used to test the Hale SPV. If proper performance as indicated below cannot be achieved then the valve must be repaired.
1. Close all valves and drains on the pump. Cap all suction openings and outlet of suction side relief valve (if so equipped).
2. Connect a test vacuum gauge to the intake test gauge connection on the pump panel.
3. Depress and hold the prime push-button to energize the priming pump motor. Observe the diaphragm on the Hale SPV while the priming pump is running. The diaphragm should draw in when sufficient vacuum is generated in the vacuum hose.
4. Continue operation of the priming pump while observing the vacuum test gauge. When the vacuum gauge stops dropping at approximately 22 in (559 mm) Hg. release the push-button. Observe the vacuum gauge. If the vacuum falls more than 10 inches (254 mm) in 5 minutes it is certain there is a leak in the system. Check for leakage of the system.
5. Hydrostatic test the Hale SPV to 250 PSIG (17 BAR) in accordance with departmental procedures.
Repair Procedures:
The following procedures are provided for repair of the Hale SPV. Refer to the exploded view in section 5 of this manual to
determine the relative location of parts as the Hale SPV is being disassembled.
