Installation
Mount the actuator on the valve before installation. For a DeZURIK actuator, see actuator instructions.
For other actuators:
•
On valves with non-adjustable packing, the actuator interface must include a retaining plate for
the packing.
•
On valves with adjustable packing, the actuator interface must provide clearance for the packing
gland and access for packing adjustment. Dimensional requirements are shown on the
installation drawing for the valve.
Lifting the valve improperly may damage it. Do not fasten lifting devices to the actuator, disc or through
the seat opening in the body. Lift the valve with slings, chains or cables fastened around the valve
body, or fastened to bolts or rods through bolt holes in the flanges.
Refer to the installation drawing for dimensions and to identify components.
Requirements
PVC pipe that does not meet AWWA standards may damage the valve. If PVC pipe is
used with mechanical joint valves, the pipe O.D. must comply with AWWA C905-97,
Table 2 "PVC PIPE WITH CAST IRON PIPE EQUIVALENT O.D.’S.”
•
Flanged connections require mating flanges that comply with ASME/ ANSI B16.1 Class 125 or
Class 150. Flange gaskets are also required.
•
Mechanical joints must comply with ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11.
•
To reduce the effects of downstream disturbances, install the valve at least the distance of eight
pipe diameters downstream from the closest elbow or pump.
•
If possible, install the valve with the shaft horizontal to provide self-cleaning action.
