DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
When installing the system, certain design considerations must be taken into account. These include:
•
Calculating the correct valve sizing (see “
Calculating Valve Sizing
” on
page 14
).
•
Location of the valve and actuator
–
The valve actuator is not intended for outdoor installation.
–
The valve location should be where leakage from the piping field connections will not cause damage to
the surrounding area.
–
Consider the location of any new or existing piping and electrical components.
•
General piping guidelines:
–
All piping, including the piping of the valve body, must meet or exceed all applicable local, state, and/or
federal guidelines, codes, regulations, and laws.
–
Support all piping using hangers.
DO NOT
support piping by the unit or its components.
–
Use isolation valves to isolate system components.
–
Use unions to allow for servicing and, if required, removal of the valve and other components.
–
Include drain valves to assist in servicing the valve.
