BASO G95 Series Single Operator Valve - Manual (Page 2)

2 BASOTROL Single Operator Valve Installation Instructions
6. Mount the G95 on a horizontal manifold with the
magnetic operator pointed up (vertical) or in a
position not exceeding 90º from vertical. The valve
may also be mounted on a vertical manifold in any
position around its axis (see Figure 1).
Vertical mounting may
be 360º around its axis
with the gas flow either
up or down but always in
the direction of the arrow.
Horizontal mounting limited
to 90º from upright.

7. Mount the valve to the pipework. Use an approved
pipe joint sealing compound on the male threads
before assembly. Remove excess compound after
mounting the valve to the pipework. Threads of the
pipe and nipples must be smooth and free of tears
and burrs. Steam clean all piping to remove
foreign substances such as cutting oil or thread
chips. A sediment trap should also be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI Z223.1). See Figure 2.
8. Attach the pilot gas line to the pilot burner fitting
and to the pilot gas outlet of the valve (if used).
!
WARNING: Risk of Explosion or Fire.
Verify that there are no gas leaks by testing with
appropriate equipment. Never use a match or lighter
to test for the presence of gas. Failure to test
properly can lead to an explosion or fire and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
9. Check for leakage.
a. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff
valve and open the pressure connection
between the manual shutoff valve and the
G96 valve.
b. Connect air tubing with a maximum pressure
of 1-1/2 times the valve’s maximum operating
pressure (as indicated on the valve) to the
opened pressure connection.
c. Paint all valve body connections with a rich
soap and water solution.
If bubbles occur, this indicates a leak. To stop
a leak, tighten joints and connections. Replace
the part if the leak cannot be stopped.
If bubbles do not occur, remove the air tubing
and close the pressure connection.
10. Perform the Checkout section before leaving the
installation.
