Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Inspection: Periodically check the valve for leaks, corrosion, or signs of wear. Ensure that the valve body and connections are intact and free from damage.
-
Flow Adjustment: Use the calibrated nameplate to set the desired flow rate. The tamper-resistant memory stop allows for accurate resetting without the need to read the nameplate setting.
-
Pressure Measurement: To measure flow, connect a compatible pressure gauge to the valve's pressure ports. Ensure that the gauge is rated for the expected pressure range and follow safety protocols when handling pressurized systems.
-
Avoid Overheating: When soldering or brazing near the valve, ensure that the valve is in the closed position and protect it from excessive heat. Use low-temperature solders and avoid brazing to prevent damage to internal components.
-
System Flushing: Before installation, flush the system to remove debris that could obstruct the valve's internal components.
-
Storage: If the valve is not in use for an extended period, store it in a dry, clean environment to prevent corrosion and damage.
