Description
Divider valves are comprised of
three to eight valve blocks fas-
tened to a segmented baseplate.
O-rings are used to seal be-
tween the valve blocks and the
base plate and between the
base plate segments. These di-
vider valves are used in a single
line, progressive lubrication sys-
tem and can be used for dis-
pensing oil or grease. Valves
and base plate segments are
supplied with Viton O-rings (90 Durometer).
Check valves are installed at the outlets of all lube ports.
Valve blocks containing metering pistons discharge a predetermined amount of lubricant with
each cycle. Valve blocks can be single or twin and can be externally singled or cross-ported.
Outlets not to be used when singling or cross-porting must be plugged.
A by-pass block can be used in any position on the base plate. The use of a by-pass block
allows the addition or deletion of lubrication points without disturbing existing tubing. Both out-
lets under a by-pass block must be plugged.
The valve blocks and by-pass blocks are fastened to a base plate mounted on the machine
to be lubricated. The base plate contains the divider valve's inlet and outlet connections, in-
terrelated passageways and built-in check valves. All piping of lubricant to and from the di-
vider valve is connected to the base plate.
The base plate consists of one inlet block, three to eight intermediate blocks, one end block
and three tie rods. O-ring seals are included with the base plate segments. The valve block
capacity of each base plate is dependent upon the number of intermediate blocks in the base-
plate. There must be a minimum of three working valves on each valve and base plate as-
sembly.
