Theory of Operation Theory of Operation The valve uses the air-opened and air-closed mode of The air-operated piston, rod, and ball move at the same operation, therefore, it uses a four-way exhausting time. When air moves the piston, rod, and ball from their solenoid to control the piston inside the valve.
Installation Installation Grounding Flush Before Using Equipment The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a compatible solvent before using the equipment. The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking.
Installation Mounting 6. Check each fitting to avoid pressure leakage from the dispense valve. The dispense valves have multiple mounting hole configurations (see Dimensions, page 20), which make them ideal for use with robotic equipment or multiple manifold high production operations. 1.

Maintenance Maintenance Packing Lubrication Inspect the dispense valve, material, and air hoses at least once every two weeks. Inspect for leakage and other visible damage daily. If there is any leakage or damage, change the part immediately. Follow the Repair, on page 14. The following table lists recommended maintenance This valve has a primary seal, a pressurized grease procedures and frequencies.
Maintenance Factors Affecting Valve Life The maintenance tables should be used as a guideline for maintenance frequency. Additional factors that could affect valve life include the following: • Process Fluid - Abrasive or fiber filled fluids are much harder on seals, shafts, and seats than non-abrasive fluids, such as oil.
Recycling and Disposal Recycling and Disposal End of Product Life At the end of the product’s useful life, dismantle and recycle it in a responsible manner. • Perform the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 9. • Drain and dispose of fluids according to applicable regulations.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 9, before checking or repairing the valve. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling valve. Problem Cause Solution Air leaks from dispense valve. Loose air connections. Check air connections. Worn o-rings. Replace o-rings in air housing.
Repair Repair Disconnect NOTE: Always replace o-rings after the valve has been disassembled. If the valve is hot, wait for it to cool completely before determining whether or not you can repair it. Some materials, like polyurethanes, may cure permanently when cooled and exposed to air, preventing you from disassembling the dispense valve.
Repair Disassembly 6. Place a wrench on the ball (106) flats. Remove two balls from the piston rod. 1. Perform the Disconnect procedure, on page 14. 2. Remove four o-rings (114a and 134), two seats (133) and two gaskets (132). 114b 114a 7.
