GUIDELINES FOR VALVE AND FITTING INSTALLATION
a. Gate valves (shut-off) are installed in the entering and
leaving piping to the chiller and fan coil unit. This is to
permit servicing and replacement of the equipment without
draining the system. A globe valve may be used to serve
as one of the shut-off valve and in addition to balance the
rate.
b. Valves and fittings using threaded or welded joints will
require unions to permit easy removal for servicing or
replacement. Unions are usually located between each
gate valve and the equipment. Unions are also place before
and after the control valve, and in the branch of the 3-way
valve.
If flange joints are used, the need for unions is eliminated.

c. Locate the control valve in between the gate valve and the
equipment to permit removal of the control valve without
draining the system.
d. Strainers, thermometers and pressure gauges are located
between the gate valve and the equipment.
