Failure to comply with the Care of Component Materials could lead to bodily injury.
Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion resistance is greatest when a layer of oxide film is
formed on the surface of stainless steel. If film is disturbed or
destroyed, stainless steel becomes much less resistant to
corrosion and may rust, pit or crack.
Corrosion pitting, rusting and stress cracks may occur due to
chemical attack. Use only cleaning chemicals specified by a
reputable chemical manufacturer for use with stainless steel. Do
not use excessive concentrations, temperatures or exposure
times. Avoid contact with highly corrosive acids such as
hydrofluoric, hydrochloric or sulfuric. Also avoid prolonged
contact with chloride-containing chemicals, especially in
presence of acid. If chlorine-based sanitizers are used, such as
sodium hypochlorite (bleach), do not exceed concentrations of
150 ppm available chlorine, do not exceed contact time of 20
minutes, and do not exceed temperatures of 104°F (40°C).
Elastomer Seal
Replacement Following
Passivation
Corrosion discoloration, deposits or pitting may occur under
product deposits or under gaskets. Keep surfaces clean,
including those under gaskets or in grooves or tight corners.
Clean immediately after use. Do not allow equipment to set idle,
exposed to air with accumulated foreign material on the surface.
Corrosion pitting may occur when stray electrical currents come
in contact with moist stainless steel. Ensure all electrical devices
connected to the equipment are correctly grounded.
Passivation chemicals can damage product contact areas of this
equipment. Elastomers (rubber components) are most likely to be
affected. Always inspect all elastomer seals after passivation is
completed. Replace any seals showing signs of chemical attack.
Indications may include swelling, cracks, loss of elasticity or any
other noticeable changes when compared with new components.
When installing the valve, ensure that no foreign materials (e.g.
tools, screws, welding wire, lubricants, cloths, etc.) are enclosed
in the system.
Location
Isolate products away from the valve
prior to performing maintenance.
Welding Instructions
Before attempting to buttweld an
automatic valve into a line, disassemble
the body from the actuator. Dissipate
heat away from the valve body to
prevent warping.
The valve must be in a vertical position to ensure that the vent/
drain outlet system functions properly.
The vent/drain outlet at the bottom of the Mix Proof valve must
no
t be obstructed. The unrestricted vent/drain outlet must allow
leakages and cleaning/rinsing/sterilization fluids to go to
atmosphere in order to guarantee mix proof safe separation. If
hoses, pipes, or other components are mounted to the vent/drain
outlet to prevent splashing of leakage and cleaning/rinsing/
sterilization fluids, then they must be designed such that the fluids
flow freely to atmosphere.
Locate the valve for easy access for inspection.
Ensure that the valves and pipe systems dr
piece body option enables the positions of the connections to be
adjusted in relation to each other.
Prior to installing, thoroughly inspect each valve. When using
buttweld two-piece body valves, clamp connections must be used
on either the upper or lower body to allow for servicing of the oring seal between the bodies. This does not apply to single-piece
bodies.

No special precautions are required for applications within a temperature range of 32°F to 180°F (0°C to 82°C).
For applications above 190°F (88°C)
, clearances can be affected
by excessive thermal expansion when the valve is installed in
compact fabrications or manifolds. Valve bodies have thicker
cross-sections than tubing, but thermal expansion can affect
clearances in interconnecting piping sections.
Operating valves above 180°F (82°C) could result in shortened
life of elastome

Corrective Action
If the double seat Mix Proof valve fails to respond as indicated
above, immediately check the valve assembly and wiring to
locate and correct the cause:
•First, check the proximity sensor adjustment.
•Check for the correct assembly and adjustment of the valve.
•For specific information on sensor setting, please refer to
control module publication 95-03083.
Maintain adequate stock of replacement parts. See the items in
bold beginning on page
Maintenance intervals should be determined by the user and
specific application, based on the following conditions:
•Daily operation period
•Sensoring frequency
•Application parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and
flow
•Product type
•CIP time and temperature
Use the following recommendation as a rough guide:
•For fluid temperatures ranging from 180°F to 212°F (82°C to
100
°C): approx. every 3 to 6 months
•For fluid temperatures of 140°F (60°C) and lower: approx.
every 12 months
The values listed above are only general guidelines and do not
apply, for example, to fluids which crystallize on contact with air.
The values listed are subject to the chemical resistance of the
seal material.

Do not put a hand into the yoke or body
of a pneumatically-actuated valve.
Lubrication
Inspect the following on a regular basis:
•Actuator connections for air leaks
•Valve body and stem O-rings
•Valve seats (If leakage occurs, see “Troubleshooting” on
page
61.)
•Pneumatic connections:
–Air pressure at supply connection
–Air lines for kinks and leaks
–Threaded connections for tight fit
–Clean air filter at regular intervals
•Electrical connections secure on control module:
–Wire connections tight on terminal strip
–Electrical connections to control module
–Threaded strain relief for tight fit.
No lubrication is required other than as noted in the disassembly
and assembly procedures. Use Dow Corning #7 or equivalent
food grade non-petroleum (silicone) grease on seals and O-rings.
Cleaning
Avoid splashing any liquid into the air
vent of the actuator during clean up
NOTE: Actuate each valve or use seat
lifting to ensure effective cleaning and
sanitizing. Expose all product-contact
surfaces to the appropriate cleaning
solutions.
Apply Bostik Never-Seez® White Food Grade with PTFE or
equivalent to all bolts and threaded stem parts.
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)
CIP methods can be used to clean installed automatic valves
without disassembly. Select methods based on the specific
requirements of sanitarians and each application. Check with
local chemical suppliers for the most effective cleaning agents
and procedures intended for the application, in order to properly
dissolve the product residue. Ensure that the cleaning agent is
compliant with the temperature range and elastomer material.
Mix Proof valves can be fitted with a 1/4 NPT flush connection for
rinsing the area between the seats and the vent/drain port. The
area can be flushed regularly in the event of long times between
CIP cleanings. See “External Flush - Liquid Vent Cavity” on
page
Mix Proof valves are designed to use a cleaning solution supplied
by a CIP system. The vent outlet/cavity must be unobstructed to
guarantee the leakage of fluid to atmosphere.
During valve opening and CIP cleaning,
fluid escapes from the drain port. Drain it
off to prevent any possible hazard to
personnel.
Establish cleaning procedures for each installation depending on
product characteristics, operating parameters (temperature,
velocity, valve cycles), and product velocities.
The following statements are intended as suggestions or
guidelines for cleaning procedures and will vary by application:
•For seat lifting valves, when the upper or lower body is in
CIP, seat movement should occur. Seat cleaning positions
are factory-set and marked in the yoke area. Seat cleaning
will produce visible leakage from the vent outlet. Brief
multiple lifts should occur for each step in the CIP program,
excluding the initial rinse.
NOTE: Seat cleaning is not
recommended during the initial rinse.
•Maximum Solution Temperature is 180°F (82°C).
•Maximum line pressure during seat cleaning is 90 psi (6.2
bar).
•Minimum cleaning solution velocity is 5 ft/s (0.3 m/s).
•Cleaning time is dependent on the inlet pressure. The
recommended cycle time is 3 to 5 seconds per cycle after the
valve achieves the seat clean position. This seat clean cycle
time of each valve should be visually confirmed during
commissioning.
•Typical cleaning procedures include pulsing the seat during
cleaning until the valve has been demonstrated to be clean.
This is usually accomplished in 3 to 5 consecutive pulses per
step in the CIP program; however, each installation and
product varies, so pulsing should continue until all product/
debris is removed.
•For the optional external flush of the vent cavity, water flush
can be activated during the final rinse.
•Every few months of operation, remove and inspect one
valve in the system to ensure that complete cleaning is being
achieved.

For the W72RS models, the location of the lower stem is more
critical than the stem travel. Confirm the proper location of the
lower stem by measuring the distance from the lower seal
