3-Way, Mixing or Diverting, Flanged, Control Ball Valves

VEB-56 Series

Installation Guide

1. Clean the lines upstream from the valve. Remove any debris (welding slag, pipe scale, or other contaminants) larger than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).

NOTE: If the system experiences large amounts

of debris, steps should be taken to keep the system clean, such as 20 mesh strainer installed upstream of the valve.

2. Align the valve assembly according to the system

ow requirements (see the illustration below).

3. The valve may be mounted on either vertical or horizontal pipe lines. On horizontal lines, mount the valve so the actuator is positioned upright

and over the valve. (Leave sucient room on all

sides to service the actuator and valve.)

CAUTION

To prevent condensation from dripping onto the actuator housing on horizontal lines, mount the valve with the actuator in the upright position or, at most, at a 45° angle.

4. Install approved ange gaskets (not supplied by

KMC Controls) and bolt the valve to the pipes.

5. Eliminate air from the system to keep the valves

full of uid during operation.

CAUTION

Using mineral oil lubricants or other incompatible substances in system ﬂuids may damage EPDM rubber seals in valves. Before using any lubricant or additive in a water or ethylene glycol base, consult the substance manufacturer for compatibility with EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer).

VEB-56 Series Valves 1 Installation Guide

Wiring

Wiring is dependent on the type of actuator and the desired options that are available. Consult the actuator model label and then the relevant sections in the MEP-7500/7800 Series Actuators Installation

Guide for detailed instructions on the applicable

wiring, feedback selector, and actuator/signal range reset (auto-mapping) of the valve’s actuator. (See the More Information section.)

More Information

For models, specications, and additional information, see the VEB-56 Series Data

Sheet on the KMC web site

(www.kmccontrols.com).

Operation

After the mechanical and electrical installations have been completed, cycle the actuator to verify the direction of rotation for normal operation and

fail-safe if so equipped.

Maintenance

No routine maintenance is required. The motors are

permanently lubricated. Careful installation will also ensure long term reliability and performance.
