Installation
Grounding
Ground individual components by any of the following
methods:
•
Mount the component to a grounded conductive
surface.
•
Connect conductive fluid tubes to the component.
•
Connect a ground wire to one of the component’s
mounting holes.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid
contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment
with a compatible solvent before using the equipment.
See your proportioner manual for details.
Color Change Stack
Assemble a Color Change Stack
1.
Lubricate the o-ring (4) and insert it in the housing’s
valve port.
NOTE:
This procedure is for the Quick Socket version of
the color change stack kits, which connects the color
change stack to non-IniFlex components. The IniFlex
version of the color change stack kits includes a
disposable shipping plug instead of the adapter
connector (7), and is directly connected to other
components with IniFlex fittings. The adapter connector
(7) and shipping plug both connect to the tie rods (8)
and hold the color change stack together during
shipping.
2.
Install the valve (5) in the valve port and torque to
50 in-lbs (5.6 N•m).
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each valve in your color
change stack.
NOTE:
The maximum number of valves in a color
change stack is 18.
4.
Line up the adapter connector (7) and assembled
valves (including seals (3) and tie rods (8) in order
of installation, with the valve closest to the adapter
connector being first. Verify that the assembled
valves are oriented with the fluid outlets directed
towards the adapter connector (7), and that each
fluid outlet has an o-ring (2) attached to it.
5.
Assemble the segments for each tie rod (8) and
hand-tighten.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
