Magnum Valve Installation Guide (Top Mount)
Before the installation of the internal distribution system
and loading of the media into the tank, the Magnum valve
must be temporarily installed onto the tank. This will
ensure that correct alignment of the inlet and outlet piping
once the internals are installed and the media is loaded
onto the tank.
1. Install tank O-ring into the tank adapter section at the
bottom of the Magnum valve.
Be sure to lightly
lubricate the O-ring with the 100% silicone lubricant
provided with the valve.
2. Screw the Magnum valve onto the empty tank until
O-ring touches the top of the tank.
3. Turn (tighten) the Magnum valve an additional 60° to
90° (max).
4. Align valve with plumbing connections to minimize
unnecessary stress.
5. For reference, place a mark on the tank beneath the
front center of the Magnum valve.
6. Remove the Magnum valve in preparation for
installation of the internals and media loading.
7. Prior to loading media, make sure the tank alignment
is correct using the mark on the front of the tank.
8. Cut riser 1/4-inch above the top of the tank, plus or
minus 3/8 inch. Place riser inside the tank.
9. Load media following your supplier’s
recommendations.
10. Follow piping recommendations to provide support
and flexibility. Layout piping to accommodate for FRP
tanks and piping dimensional changes and potential
water hammering. Flexible connectors may be
needed.
11. Proper pipe alignment is needed.
Flex connectors are recommended when installing valves
on FRP tanks that are 24 inches or larger in diameter.
Electrical
1. Electrical requirements for the installation depends on
the configuration of the control.
2. The standard North American Series Logix electronic
control is supplied with a 12 volt AC adapter. Optional
AC adapters must be ordered separately for all
international 12 VAC configurations.
Caution:
The Logix Control and supplied AC adapter are
for dry location use only, unless used with a Listed Class 2
power supply suitable for outdoor use.
Lubricants
It is very important that 100% silicone lubricant is the only
lubricant used for installing the Magnum control valve. Any
other lubricant may cause material degradation and
potential failure of the valve components.
NOTE:
Some silicone based lubricants contain
petroleum-based ingredients. If there is a question about
the lubrication that you are using contact the lubricant
manufacturer to be sure the product is 100% silicone.
Caution:
Plumbing cannot be used for electrical
grounding when metal inlet and outlet piping is
connected to a non-metal valve.
Connect the inlet and outlet piping together using a
grounding strap or clamp to establish continuity.
