Clarus Environmental Clarus 5050 Series Recirculating Float & Splitter Valves - Manual (Page 2)

Splitter Valve
The splitter valve has an inlet and two outlets. One
outlet is for recirculation and should be piped to the
recirculation or dosing tank. In most instances, the
splitter valve will be plumbed directly into the riser
above the recirculation tank. In these installations,
water can pour directly out of the valve and fall
back into the recirculation tank. The disposal
outlet contains the weir and should be piped to the
disposal component of the wastewater treatment
system. Use a 4" pipe seal where pipes penetrate
the riser to ensure a water tight system.
Connect the piping by solvent welding 4" schedule
40 pipes to the appropriate ports. When gluing
the inlet pipe, lay a small level across the body
of the splitter valve to ensure that the two outlet
ports are level. Clean excess glue from around
the weir so that its operation and removal will not
be impeded.
The standard weir supplied with the splitter
valve diverts 80% of the incoming wastewater to
recirculation and 20% to disposal. Consult factory
for weirs capable of splitting in other proportions.

Recirculating Float Valve
The recirculating float valve is designed to
recirculate 100% of the incoming wastewater
until the water level in the tank reaches a set
limit and closes the valve. If it is used alone
(5050-0002), 100% of the water is diverted
to disposal when the float is fully engaged.
When the Recirculating Float Valve is used
in conjunction with the splitter valve (5050-
0001), and the float is fully engaged, 100%
of the water is diverted to the splitter valve,
where it is divided by a percentage determined
by the weir.
The Recirculating Float Valve should be
plumbed in a riser above the recirculation
tank. See chart for minimum riser diameter
required. In addition, use a 4" pipe seal
where pipes penetrate the riser to ensure a
water tight system.
For standard operating dimensions see
Figure 3. Elevations should be specified and
verified by an engineer. Valve seating can
be adjusted with the set screws located on
the ball float rod.
