FlowCon SM.1.1 Installation And Operation Instruction Manual

FlowCon SM 15-40mm
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Install the FlowCon SM valve either in the
supply or return pipe work for the unit. It is re-
commended that a strainer be installed prior to
the valve body to prevent damage or blockage
due to debris. INSTALL THE VALVE HOUSING
WITH THE FLOW DIRECTIONAL ARROW
POINTING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
The valve body is available with double union
end connections. Two types of end connec-
tions are available for use with the union nut:
Threaded (male or female):
The threads on both the connection and pip-
ing should be cleaned carefully.
As these models are union end connected, the
union nuts and the end connections should be
removed for installation.
O-rings are supplied with the valve body and
are used to seal the connections. It is recom-
mended to grease the o-rings with a silicone
grease before installation. IMPORTANT: Never
use mineral oil or petrol based grease or oil
on the o-rings. Please make sure these are
in place in the o-ring grooves in the inlet and
outlet of the valve body, when installing the
housing and REMEMBER TO TIGHTEN THE
UNIONNUTS TO ENSURE SEALING.
For all threaded connections pls. clear threads
on both valve and piping of debris. Sealant such
as pipe dope or teflon tape is recommended.
WHEN USING HEMP AS PIPE SEALANT,
ENSURE NO STRANDS ARE LEFT IN THE
VALVE OR PIPING.
Soldered end (sweat):
REMOVE THE END CONNECTIONS FROM
THE HOUSING BEFORE SOLDERING. THIS
ENSURES THAT THE O-RINGS AND INTER-
NAL PARTS ARE NOT DAMAGED BY HEAT.

Valve bodies are as standard supplied with
body tappings plugged, each plug sealed with
a gasket.
Alternatively, pressure/temperature fittings
(p/t plugs) are available. Before finger mount-
ing the p/t plugs in the body tappings, pls. seal
the threads of the p/t plugs (DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN).
Fitting and orientation
of the actuator
Pls. install the valve so that the actuator is
located upwards and not lower than the hori-
zontal line to prevent condensation into the
electronics (pls. see figure 1 below).
