- the intervention also called reaction speed regulator* (4) of the main valve, and the opening (3) 
and closing  (2)  speed  regulators*  of  the  valve’s  main chamber,  independent  one from the  other, 
obtained by us fine adjustment needle valves. 

-  replaceable   check   valves   placed  upstream   of   every regulator to limit the flow and control 
the acceleration during the valve opening and closing. 

- an upstream outlet not filtered protected by a cap 1/8 G 

- an upstream pressure outlet filtered, 1/8 G, protected by an air valve. 

- The adjustment is normally done in the factory although it is possible to modify it on the spot, in 
order to find the optimal regulation according to the function required. 

Herewith  enclosed  are the optimal  values for the most common  XLC applications  expressed  in 
terms of revolutions, starting from the fully closed position and turning anticlockwise.

The regulators  are needle valves  designed  by us and the rotation  permits  to obtain a specific 
passage. For example the regulation 3  means  that,  starting  from  the  complete  closed  needle 
(turned clockwise), unscrewing 3 turns in opening you will get the indicated regulation. 

 

Maintenance 

The  “GRIFO”  is  particularly  sturdy,  extremely  simple  and  reliable  so  it  does  not  require 
maintenance but we strongly advise to proceed regularly, at least twice per year, with a clearing of 
the  filter  from  dirt  and  deposits,  simply  by  unscrewing  the  tap  (9)  and  washing  the  mesh.  This 
procedure  can  be carried  out  without  interrupting the flow  through  the main  valve,  and  simply  by 
isolating  the  main  circuit  by  means  of  the  isolation  ball  valve  and  removing  the  pressure  right 
upstream of the GRIFO.
