IMPORTANT: Check your air supply before installing this valve. Air-Actuated valves
require clean, filtered air to operate properly.
Commonly used air compressors can pickup moisture/humidity in the air, dirt, and oil used in the
compressor itself, and pass them along throughout your system, if not filtered properly. While some
newer air compressors are oil-free, many commonly used are not. In the past few years, compressor
manufacturers have switched from standard petroleum based lubricating oils to SYNTHETIC OILS,
as they are thought to make the compressor run more efficiently, and can be changed less often.
However, SYNTHETIC OILS, which can get into the air supply, can cause damage to valve bodies
and solenoids, as well as other processing equipment, by affecting the elastomers and/or plastics that
come in contact with the air supply.
Special "coalescing" filter regulators and solenoid guards are commercially available to help avert this
potential problem, and remove oils and other damaging elements from the air downstream from the
air compressor. These filters and other components can be installed downline from the compressor, as
well as on control panels, to help minimize the problem, by further cleaning the air before it gets to your
valves and system components. Filter elements should be changed at least once a year, as part of
your normal plant maintenance program.
IMPORTANT:
Use C-137 Thread Lubricant Tri-Clover
®
actuators.
These lubricants have been formulated especially to ensure trouble free assembly of Tri-Clover
®
actuators. C137 is a non-USDA rated lubricant that helps to prevent thread galling.
How to Use
Before reassembly of any Tri-Clover
®
actuator, i.e. 761, 361, 161, etc., apply a thin bead of C137
lubricant on the lower threads of the cylinder.
THE C137 LUBRICANT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON VALVE STEM SEALS, BODY GASKET
OR ANY PRODUCT CONTACT SURFACE.
Tri-Clover offers C137 in 1 ounce tubes. For further information refer to your Tri-Clover
®
Actuator
Service Bulletin, or contact your Alfa Laval distributor.
