Installation
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
1. Verify that the pump feeding valve is stopped and
either disconnected or locked out from its driver.
2. Using a wrench, slowly loosen the inlet nut.
3. Slowly loosen each port nut.
Setup
The divider valve is shipped ready to install in the
system. It has been factory-tested and should not
require any additional modification.
NOTE:
For MJ and MX series valves only: Gaskets (a)
must be installed between every valve section (b) of the
block assembly to prevent leaking.
To install the divider valve in the system:
1. Determine an appropriate, remote mounting
location.
2. Install a rupture to atmosphere fitting with a
blow-out disk rated for 7,500 psi (52 MPa, 517 bar)
or less between the force feed lubricator pump and
the master divider valve inlet.
3. Install an analog pressure gauge at the inlet to the
divider valve.
4. Install a slow or no cycle shutdown in one of the
piston enclosure plugs. Program it to shut down
after no more than 180 seconds without a complete
cycle.
5. Torque. See Table 4, page 16.
As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the
inlet section of the divider assembly, the valve sections
will continue to operate in a progressive manner. Divider
assemblies always follow a constant discharge pattern.
Whenever lubricant flow ceases, the valving pistons will
stop. When flow resumes, it will start again at the same
point in the discharge cycle.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury
from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection,
splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the
equipment.

NOTICE
Do not install a divider valve into a system rated for
more than the valve’s maximum operating pressure.
This type of installation could result in o-ring damage
and cause the divider valve to leak.
