INSTALLATION / OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

Flow Control

CV

MODEL

N-CV (R-3/2011)

DESCRIPTION

The Cla-Val Model CV Flow Control is a simply-designed,
spring-loaded check valve. Rate of flow is full flow in one direc-
tion and restricted in other direction. Flow is adjustable in the
restricted direction. It is intended for use in conjunction with a
pilot control system on a Cla-Val Automatic Control Valve.

OPERATION

The CV Flow Control permits full flow from port A to B, and
restricted flow in the reverse direction. Flow from port A to B
lifts the disc from seat, permitting full flow. Flow in the reverse
direction seats the disc, causing fluid to pass through the clear-
ance between the stem and the disc. This clearance can be
increased, thereby increasing the restricted flow, by screwing
the stem out, or counter-clockwise. Turning the stem in, or
clockwise reduces the clearance between the stem and the
disc, thereby reducing the restricted flow.’

INSTALLATION

Install the CV Flow Control as shown in the valve schematic All
connections must be tight to prevent leakage.

DISASSEMBLY

Follow the sequence of the item numbers assigned to the
parts in the cross sectional illustration for recommended
order of disassembly.

Use a scriber, or similar sharp-pointed tool to remove O-ring
from the stem.

INSPECTION

Inspect all threads for damage or evidence of cross- thread-
ing. Check mating surface of seat and valve disc for exces-
sive scoring or embedded foreign particles. Check spring for
visible distortion, cracks and breaks. Inspect all parts for
damage, corrosion and cleanliness.

CLEANING

After disassembly and inspection, cleaning of the parts can
begin. Water service usually will produce mineral or lime
deposits on metal parts in contact with water. These
deposits can be cleaned by dipping the parts in a 5-percent
muriatic acid solution just long enough for deposits to dis-
solve. This will remove most of the common types of
deposits. Caution: use extreme care when handling acid.
If the deposit is not removed by acid, then a fine grit (400)
wet or dry sandpaper can be used with water. Rinse parts
in water before handling. An appropriate solvent can clean
parts used in fueling service. Dry with compressed air or a
clean, lint-free cloth. Protect from damage and dust until
reassembled.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

Minor nicks and scratches may be polished out using a fine
grade of emery or crocus cloth; replace parts if scratches
cannot be removed.

Replace O-ring packing and gasket each time CV Flow
Control is overhauled.

Replace all parts which are defective. Replace any parts
which create the slightest doubt that they will not afford com-
pletely satisfactory operation. Use Inspection steps as a
guide.

REASSEMBLY

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly; no special tools
are required.

TEST PROCEDURE

No testing of the flow Control is required prior to reassembly
to the pilot control system on Cla-Val Main Valve.
