■Anti-siphon check valve
This pump is provided with an anti-siphon check valve. Use this valve at the injection point unless there is a good rea-
son not to do so. Be absolutely sure to install it in the following cases.
• When the injection point is open to the atmosphere and liquid is to be injected at a position lower than the level of the
liquid in the tank (prevention of siphoning)
• When the liquid is to be injected inside the suction-side pipe of a volute pump, etc.
• When a chemical greatly exceeding the pump’s rated discharge volume is being fed (prevention of overfeed)
✽ Even with a rising pipe, overfeed may occur if the pipe is too long.
(1) The anti-siphon check valve has an R1/2 external thread. Provide an Rc1/2 internal thread at the injection point.
Connecting
(2) Wind sealing tape around the external thread of the anti-siphon check valve, and screw the valve into the injection point.
✽ If it is hard to screw the valve in, grasp the nozzle grip using a tool such as pliers, and tighten the valve gently.
✽ When connecting the tube with the anti-siphon check valve already mounted on it to the main pipe, be absolutely
sure to hold the valve body and turn the nut. If the nut is turned without holding the body, the threaded part on the
nozzle may be damaged.
NOTE
If the end of the anti-siphon check valve is too long, cut it off
so that the end will be positioned at the center of the main pipe
where the chemical is to be injected prior to use.
It is recommended that the tube be attached to the main pipe
through a valve to enable the anti-siphon check valve to be
replaced or cleaned, etc.
✽ Use a valve made of materials which will resist any corrosion
resulting from the chemical used.
