Val-Matic Swing-Flex Check Valve - Manual (Page 6)

MECHANICAL INDICATOR (OPTIONAL)
The mechanical indicator is an option that fits into
the cover and can easily be installed in the field by
going through the following steps. The mechanical
indicator is used to visually indicate when the
valve is opened or closed.
1. Remove line pressure and drain valve.
2. Score the coating around and remove the pipe
plug from the cover.
3. Apply pipe joint compound to indicator body
(21) threads.
4. Insert the indicator body (21), without the
indicator plate (27), into the valve cover and
tighten. Make sure that two of the tapped holes
in the indicator body (21) are aligned with the
valve and pipeline. This will ensure proper
orientation of the indicator plate.
5. Remove the two socket head screws (31) from
the indicator body (21).
6. Slide the indicator plate (27) over the indicator
rod (23) and spring (28).
7. Align the indicator plate (27) as shown on the
back of this card and secure with the 5mm
socket head screws (31).
8. Connect the spring (28) to the indicator plate
(27) notch.
