Periodic Maintenance
Refer to the FCM100 cross sectional view for location of parts referenced in the
following procedures.
1)
Lubricate the packing (5) on the FCM100 valve every 200 hrs by placing a few
drops of mineral oil or other light oil inside the packing nut.
*Note: PVA offers a 2.5cc mineral oil lubrication kit; Part#: B62-0752
2)
The packing nut (6) may require occasional tightening, as wear occurs in order to
prevent leaks through the packing.
Setup
The FCM100 requires a 2-position, 4-way air solenoid valve to actuate the air
section. The valve should be operated with clean, dry air between 60-100psi. Two #10-32
threaded air ports are located on the air section of the valve. The port located furthest
from the midsection of the valve is air to close the valve. The port located closest to the
mid-section of the valve is air to open the valve. Quick connect air fittings are typically
supplied with the FCM100 to fit 5/32” tubing. Note that the valve should be normally in
the closed position.
Fluid is supplied to the FCM100 through the 1/8”fnpt port located on the stainless
steel fluid section of the valve.
