Mounting position
Model FVY5160J can be mounted in any position ranging from upright to sideways (90
°
tilted). Note that Model FVY5160J must
be installed with the valve sensor vertically positioned above the valve body when being tilted. It is also installable on the vertical
upflow pipe. (See Fig. 6.) However, Model FVY5160J must be installed always in upright position outdoors.
Do not mount Model FVY5160J, with its actuator vertically below the valve, on a vertical downflow pipe, or with the valve sensor
facing downward.

Piping
IMPORTANT:
Do not put force on the valve sensor or its cable to prevent failure.
•
Check that the model number of the product is what you ordered. The model number is shown on the label attached to the
yoke.
•
Install a bypass pipe and gate valves on the inflow, outflow, and bypass sides. Also, install a strainer with 40 or more
meshes on the inflow side.
•
Before activating Model FVY5160J, fully open (in 100 % position) the valve and flush the pipes (with Model FVY5160J
installed) at the maximum flow rate to remove all the foreign objects. (Factory preset position: 100 %)
Heat insulation
Apply heat insulation to the valve, as
and
shown in Fig. 3. Do not apply it to the yoke or the actuator. If the heat
insulation is inappropriate, temperature measuring accuracy may lower. If the yoke and/or the actuator are covered with
insulation material, the pointer cannot be checked or may be distorted.
When cutting the insulation material that covers the valve, be sure not to damage the valve sensor cable.
