Installation
(cont.)
Mount the Control Valve
See Figure 4 for a visual on mounting the control valve to the tank.
• Remove and discard the protective cover in the tank neck.
• Install the inlet strainer making sure to thread the strainer in until it bottoms out on the thread.
Failure to install the strainer correctly can cause the control to leak.
• Lubricate the O-ring on the valve body lightly with silicon lubricant.
• Align the outlet manifold with the center opening in the control valve.
• Screw the tank adapter into the tank until the adapter bottoms out on the tank flange.
• Assemble the O-rings, located in the parts
pack, to the tank adapter.
• The valve adapter O-ring sits on the first
step on the adapter. See Figure 5.
• Lubricate only the top O-ring on the tank
adapter, and the outlet manifold O-ring
with silicone lubricant.
• Position the unit with the inlet and outlet
connections to the rear.
• Align the manifold with the center opening
in the valve, and press the valve onto the
adapter firmly.
• Assemble the tank clamp to the control, and tighten
the clamp screw.
Note:
Do not use petroleum based lubricant, for this will cause swelling of rubber parts.
Note:
Make sure to push the valve straight down onto the manifold. If the valve is
cocked it may cause the O-ring to slip off the manifold.
Note:
Do not push the top O-ring
down to the flange surface on the
adapter.
Note:
The larger of the two O-rings
in the parts pack goes between the
adapter and the valve, do not stretch
the smaller O-ring onto the top of the
tank adapter.
Note:
The adapter only needs to be tightened hand-tight to the tank flange.
Note:
Make sure to push the valve straight
down onto the manifold. If the valve is cocked, it
may cause the O-ring to slip off the manifold.
Note:
The clamp and valve will be able to
rotate on the tank until pressure is applied.
