 Valve Markings

Nameplate Information

 1.   American National Standards Institute (ANSI) pressure class rating of the valve.

2.   Line size of body.

3.   ANSI pressure class rating of the flange.

4.   Indication that the valve has been hydrostatically tested according to code requirements.

5.   The serial number is stamped on the spring case, spacer*, and Body.

6.   The Nameplate location.

7.   The  flow direction is marked on the spring case (“INLET” or “OUTLET”). Proper alignment assures that the diaphragm 

guide on the Spring Case is aligned toward outlet side of the valve.

8.   The % Capacity tag indicates the capacity of the throttle plate (100%, 75%, 50%, & 35%) in the valve. 

NOTE: On all 1” valves and 2” standard valves the throttle plate itself is stamped.
