Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly
The drain line
fl
ow control assembly includes a drain line
fl
ow control and a
fi
tting. The drain line
fl
ow control allows proper media
bed expansion by regulating the
fl
ow rate to the drain. The drain line
fl
ow control is a
fl
exible washer-like part with an ori
fi
ce and
a precision molded contour. The
fl
ow rates are within
±
10% over the pressure range of 20 psi to 125 psi (1.4 bar to 8.6 bar). See
table for
fl
ow rate information.
The drain line
fl
ow control and
fi
tting are located on top of the control valve and replaceable without the use of special tools.
The drain line
fl
ow control can be installed in the standard ¾
”
drain line elbow, which accommodates 5/8
”
polytube or ¾
”
NPT drain
line connections. The optional nut and polytube insert for the ¾” drain line elbow is designed for use with
fl
exible polytube only.
The ¾
”
drain line elbow can be rotated 180 degrees so the outlet can be orientated to the nearest drain. The same retainer is used for
all drain line
fl
ow controls for the ¾
”
fi
tting. Drain line
fl
ow controls designed for the 3/4”
fi
tting are available for
fl
ow rates ranging
from 0.7 to 10 gpm (2.6 to 37.9 lpm).
An optional 1
”
straight drain line
fi
tting is available to accommodate drain line
fl
ow rates ranging from 9 to 25 gpm (34.1 to 94.6
lpm). This
fi
tting is straight but still connects to the control valve using the same locking clip. The drain line
fl
ow control is located
between two
fi
tted parts (i.e. the
fi
tting acts as the retainer). The nut is unscrewed to access the drain line
fl
ow control.
