Assembly Instructions
Solvent socket or threaded unions
Loosen the union nuts (4) and separate these and the end connectors (5) from the valve body. Pass
the pipe through the nuts and then place the bushes over the ends of the pipe. The solvent unions
should be glued onto the pipe using a PVC adhesive and pressure should not be applied to the
system until a drying period of at least 1 hour per 14.5 psi of working pressure has elapsed. In the
case of threaded unions, PTFE tape should be applied to the male threads. The pipes can now be
attached to the valve by hand tightening down the nuts.
Installation may be vertically and horizontally
WARNING: Minnimum return pressure: 0,2 bar (3 psi)
Foot valve
Use the screen instead of the end connector of the fluid entrance to transform the check valve into a
foot valve.
Foot valves are a particular type of check valves which are installed on the base of an aspiration pipe
of a pump to prevent the impulsion pipe from emptying.
The valve must be installed between the pump and the tank in order to let the fluid access the pump
and stopping it when returning to the tank. The entry of the valve is protected by a screen filter to
prevent the entry of unwanted elements which could exist in the tank or deposit.
