is out of system before operating or testing equipment.
Before pressure testing, make the following safety checks:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories
before testing.
• Release all air in system before testing.
• Tighten Sta-Rite trap lids to 30 ft. lbs. (4.1 kg-cm) torque
for testing.
• Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (172 kPa).
• Water Temperature for test must be less than 100

GENERAL
Inspect valve upon receipt and file claim with carrier if
parts are damaged or missing.
Valve may be used with Sta-Rite DE or sand filters, except
Model HRP36.
Mating half of unions are on filters shown on Table I.
Connecting Multi-Port Valve To Filter System
For filters listed below, select correct valve clamp connector kit from the chart.
Use care before assembly not to damage union sealing surfaces or O-Ring. Install union O-Rings in groove; tighten
union collar hand tight.
FOR SLIP FITTINGS: Use correct solvent/cement when fitting
piping or adapters to slide valve. The valve body is ABS
plastic, thus any good quality ABS to PVC solvent can be
used, such as Weld-On #793 or #710. Use P70 (purple)
primer on PVC components only. Allow a minimum of four
hours drying time prior to pressure testing or operation. If
ABS adapters are glued into valve ports in lieu of PVC fittings, use Weld-On Solvent #771, #1707 or #773.
To avoid serious personal injury or property
damage, follow cement manufacturer’s instructions exactly.
NOTICE: FOR THREADED FITTINGS: Use Plasto-Joint Stik
1
,
teflon tape or RTV. Other substances may degrade plastic
and create poor joints and leaks. Do not overtighten.
