CAUTION: When installing the valve, ensure that no foreign materials
(e.g. tools, screws, welding wire, lubricants, cloths, etc.) are enclosed in
the system.
The valve must be in a vertical position to ensure that the vent/drain outlet
system functions properly. Allow for easy access for inspection.
Ensure that the valves and pipe systems drain properly. The two-piece body
option enables the positions of the connections to be adjusted in relation to each
other.
CAUTION: Milk and milk products must be isolated away from the valve
prior to maintenance.
Prior to installing, thoroughly inspect each valve. When using buttweld two-
piece body valves, use clamp connections on either the upper or lower body to
allow the o-ring seal between the bodies to be serviced.
Mix Proof valves with welded connections require the following to be performed
before installation:
CAUTION: 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.
•
Prior to installation, remove the stem actuator assembly and lower bearing
carrier.
•
Remove all seals from the body.
•
Weld the body into position, ensuring that the connection is free of tension
and distortion.
CAUTION: Welding must be performed by qualified personnel.
Install the valves using dry, filtered air. Lubrication is not required. If using
lubricated air, refer to the solenoid manufacturer's specifications.
The valves should be installed to close against the flow to prevent hammering.
When using suitable fittings, Mix Proof valves with detachable connections can
be installed in the pipe system per the fitting requirements. The valve must be
installed free of tension. After the valve is installed in the pipe system, attach the
control air hoses and connect it to the electrical supply.
