FlowCon Green Series Installation And Operation Instruction

FlowCon Green
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION
The FlowCon Green inserts are for use with
three different FlowCon valve housings, either:
FlowCon A (1/2" / 3/4" / 1"),
FlowCon AB (1/2" / 3/4" / 1" / 1 1/4") or
FlowCon ABV (1/2" / 3/4" / 1" / 1 1/4" / 1 1/2").
Install the selected valve housing as called for in
the design drawings. Although the performance
of the valve is not affected either way, industry
standards call for balancing devices to be in-
stalled on the downstream side of the terminal
unit. Especially for the ABV with its isolation ball
valve, it is recommended to ensure the isolation
valve is downstream of the balancing device.
INSTALL THE VALVE HOUSING WITH THE
FLOW DIRECTIONAL ARROW POINTING IN
THE CORRECT DIRECTION.
The FlowCon A valve (Model Nos. A15.X, A20.X
and A25.I.K) is available with fixed female-
by-female threaded connections, i.e. figure 1.
Figure 1
The thread standard for the A model is either
ISO 228, which is a straight metric thread (com-
patible with BS-2779) or NPT threading stan-
dard, depending on the product number ordered
(except for DN25 which currently is only ISO).
For all threaded connections please 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.

The FlowCon AB valve (Model Nos. AB15.X,
AB20.X, AB25.X and AB32.X) is similarly avail-
able with female-by-female threaded connec-
tions, i.e. figure 2.
Figure 2
The thread standard for the AB model is equal
to what is available for the A model.
For all threaded connections please 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.
Pressure/temperature fittings (p/t plugs) are
available upon request for the AB valve. Before
finger mounting the p/t plugs in the body tap-
pings, please seal the threads of the p/t plugs
(DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
Alternatively to p/t plugs, the valve body can be
ordered with plugs for the body tappings. Each
plug is sealed by a gasket.
The FlowCon ABV valve (Model No. ABV1 and
ABV2) is available with double union end con-
nections, i.e. figure 3.
