5.1 VALVE ANd SOLENOId ASSEMBLy
NOTE:
Suggested operating pressure: 10-120 PSI (.7 to 10.5 BAR)
Use DIG’s DC valve assembly or solenoid model R710DC.
1. Shut off the mainline to the valve.
2. Install the DIG valve and latching solenoid assembly or unscrew the conventional solenoid
from the valve used and remove the solenoid housing, solenoid stem, plunger, spring,
and O-ring (if necessary).
3. Converting SUPERIOR valves: First, remove the SUPERIOR solenoid and O-ring and
replace with one O-ring (DIG part #30-492) inside the solenoid thread cavity (this O-ring
is included). Install the adapter then, slip the manual handle into the adapter. Attach the
solenoid with the plunger and position the handle at a 45° angle towards the valve outlet
(
