SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION
Read all instructions and review the installation diagrams provided on the following pages prior
to beginning installation. Also reference the product submittal drawings before proceeding.
CAUTION:
Wear eye protection, cut-resistant gloves, and clothing suitable for working
with sheet metal. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
1.
Verify the tag number located on the valve label matches the HVAC schedule.
2.
Locate the duct section which the valve is servicing and select a suitable mounting
location for the valve.
NOTE:
the AccuValve does not require straight-run inlet conditions to operate properly,
however
it’s always best
to follow HVAC Best Practices for Commercial Buildings during
installation which includes locating the valve away from transitions and bends to
minimize impact on system static pressure. Also, be sure to select a location that will
provide a minimum clearance of 14” (356mm) unobstructed access to the
transmitter,
actuator and valve access cover.
3.
Provide an opening in the duct section sized appropriately for the valve being installed.
NOTE:
A slip-fit valve will require an opening approximately 2
” smaller than the valve
length and a flanged valve will require an opening the same as the valve length. For
valve dimensions, reference Section 4.
4.
Install duct hangers within 12” (305mm) from each end of the valve connections.
Reference Section 4 for valve weights.
WARNING
:
Use duct hangers and hardware designed to support the total load of the
valve and associated duct sections. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
or death.
5.
Install the valve into the duct in accordance with the airflow direction label located on
the valve. Position the valve for easy access to the transmitter side. Since the
AccuValve is not position sensitive, it can be installed in any plane or rotational axis
without having impact on the performance.
NOTE:
Screws, nuts, fasteners, duct sealant, hangers, companion flanges and gaskets
are NOT provided by Accutrol.
