SECTION 5 - INSTALLATION
1. Read all instructions completely before installing the valve.
NOTE: Wear eye
protection, protective gloves and clothing suitable for working with sheet metal which
may have sharp edges.
2. Verify the tag number located on the valve label matches the HVAC schedule.
3. Select optimum mounting location for the valve.
NOTE: The AccuValve
®
does not
require straight inlet duct runs to operate properly, however it’s always best to locate
any duct device away from transitions and bends to minimize impact on system static
pressure.
4. Allow a minimum clearance of 14 inches (356 mm) unobstructed access to the
transmitter, actuator and valve access cover.
5. To support the weight of the valve, install duct hangers within 12 inches (305 mm) of
valve connections.
NOTE: Reference Section 4 for valve weights.
6. After the duct section is properly supported to carry the weight of the valve, install
valve into the duct in accordance with the Airflow Direction Label located on the side of
the valve. Position valve so the transmitter, actuator and access cover are easily
accessible.
NOTE: The AccuValve
®
is not position sensitive. It can be installed in any
plane or rotational axis without having impact on the factory calibration.
7. Reference the appropriate diagram provided in this section for installation details.
NOTE: Screws, nuts, fasteners, duct sealant, hangers, companion flanges and gaskets
are NOT provided by Accutrol.
