Close-off Pressure Rating
Close-off pressure ratings are listed in Table-3. Check the appropriate table to verify that the selected valve, valve linkage, and actuator provide adequate close-off pressure for your application.
The actuator with hazardous location housing, valve, and valve linkage should be purchased separately. See Table-3 for selections.
Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products.
Requirements |
• |
Tools (not provided): |
|
|
|
– Appropriate wrenches for stem extensions, lock nuts, packing nuts, and brackets |
|
|
|
– |
Appropriate screwdriver for actuator mounting screws |
|
|
– |
TOOL-37, 1-5/8" open-ended wrench with a maximum thickness of 3/16" |
|
• |
Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician |
Caution:
•Install the unit in accordance with the National Electric Code Article 500 and all applicable local codes.
•Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or vibration is present.
•Install all two-way valves so that they close against the flow. An arrow on the valve body or a tag indicates the proper flow direction.
•Always install three-way mixing valves with two inlets and one outlet.
•Always install three-way diverting valves with one inlet and two outlets.
•The actuators can be mounted in any position above the centerline of the valve body. For steam applications where the ambient temperature approaches the limit of the actuator, the valve stem should be mounted 45° from vertical. When selecting a location, allow sufficient room for accessories and for service of the product.
