Installation Guidelines
• Prior to installation, flush line to remove debris.
• Install valve horizontally “in line” (cover facing UP), so flow arrow matches flow through the line. Avoid
installing valve 6” and larger vertically. Consult factory prior to ordering if installation is other than
described.
• Install inlet and outlet isolation valves. NOTE: When using butterfly valves, insure disc does not contact
control valve. Damage or improper valve seating may occur.
• Provide adequate clearance for valve servicing and maintenance.
• Install pressure gauges to monitor valve inlet, outlet, and static head pressure.
• Install static tank head sense line. For optimum control, sense line should be: 1) Installed with an
upward angle (towards reservoir) to avoid air accumulation, 2) Connected no further than forty-five pipe
diameters from the reservoir, and 3) A minimum of 1/2” diameter.
