Connect pressure measuring device to the CBV metering ports 

as follows:
  • Remove protective cap from metering ports (¼" NPT 

connection).

  • Insert the meter probe into the metering ports. The hose with 

red fitting, up stream; the hose with blue fitting downstream. 

Refer to Fig. 6.

When inserting probe, do not bend, as this will cause 

permanent damage to the probe, adversely affecting the 

pressure measurement. Do not use any lubrication on 

the probes when inserting them. If necessary, simply wet       

the probes with clean water.

The probe should not be left inserted into the fitting for 

prolonged periods of time, overnight, etc., as leakage of 

the P.M.P. may occur when the probe is removed.

The locking nut on the probe is designed to hold it in the 

P.M.P. when taking readings. As sealing is accomplished 

internally on the probe stem, it is only necessary to 

tighten the locking nut FINGER-TIGHT. Overtightening 

may cause damage to the P.M.P. or locking nut threads.

Before taking a measurement reading, set the valve to its fully 

open position (5.0) or at a preset position. Read the pressure 

drop across the venturi with a digital meter. Determine flow rate 

by use of Venturi C

v

 Performance Curves (Fig. 8).

The handle of the CBV is not designed to be removable. Do not 

try to take it off the valve, or it may become damaged. If for any 

reason the handle is damaged, replace the entire handle/stem 

assembly with the appropriate replacement part indicated below.

571155-225 for size 1/2"– 2"

570155-105 for size 2-1/2"– 6"

570155-015 for size 8"– 12"

MEMORY SETTING:
After valve has been properly adjusted and without moving 

the handwheel, the locking memory stop should be set. The 

memory stop will allow the valve to be fully closed for isolation 

and then reopened to the preset flow position.

Insert a 2.5 mm (or 3/32") Allen key through the hole provided 

in the valve’s handle cap. (Fig. 7)

Turn the setscrew in a clockwise direction until it stops. 

It is not necessary to tighten. The memory has now been 

set.  This  establishes  the  maximum  opening  position  for  this           

particular valve.

The valve may now be closed tightly, as needed, for isolating 

the piping during system maintenance.

To return the valve to its preset “balanced” position, simply 

open the valve by turning the handwheel counterclockwise 

until the handle stops turning (the valve stem inside the 

handle has hit the memory set screw). DO NOT APPLY 

EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN REOPENING THE VALVE 

– OPEN ONLY UNTIL THE VALVE STOPS TURNING 

UNDER “HAND-TIGHT” CONDITIONS. DO NOT USE 

A WRENCH TO OPEN, CLOSE, OR TIGHTEN VALVES.
