SkoFlo Valve Model SF15000NMFB OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: Install valve so that the flow is in the proper direction. The "IN" connection and the "OUT" connection are MP20000 connections for 3/4" tubing, and are marked respectively. Install an inline filter in the system. Generally, this is located upstream of the pump.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The SkoFlo valve is a pressure independent flow control valve used in the petroleum industry to accurately inject Valve chemicals. The valve consists of a body, a base plate that is bolted to the body, and a Rate flow rate adjustment handle.
ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION: CHEMICAL INJECTION 3-WAY CONTROL VALVE VALVE CHEMICAL CHEMICAL TO PROCESS SUPPLY (AS AN EXAMPLE SAY (AS AN EXAMPLE 4200 PSIG / 289 BAR) SAY 4500 PSIG / 310 BAR) - MUST BE AT LEAST 200 PSI / 14 BAR HIGHER THAN PRESSURE OF THE CHEMICAL TO...
OPERATION NOTES AND WARNINGS: The SkoFlo valve has hard seats and is not designed to provide complete "bubble-tight" shut off. Separate isolation valves should be used for shutting off the flow. Overtightening the handle could cause damage to the stem section. If flow rate does not decrease when turning the handle in, see "Trouble Shooting Improper Valve Performance".

Push needle trim into the body. Install o-rings and backup rings on the needle stem. Locate the backup rings as shown in Figure VII. Figure VII BACKUP RING Install adjustment handle assembly into the body. Torque the stem retainer to 10 - 30 foot-pounds (1.4 - 4 kg-m). Orient the stem retainer so that the retainer lock plate and retainer lock bolt will fit in place.
