For NPT connections, use an appropriate pipe
compound, on the male threads of the internal valve
and pipeline. Pull the valve into the coupling hand
tight and then wrench tighten it for approximately
two additional turns. Larger size valves may
require an additional amount of torque to obtain a
leak-free connection.
Keep piping from the valve outlet to the pump full
size and as short as possible with a minimum number
of bends. Reduction in pipe size to suit smaller
pump inlets should be made as close to the pump
as possible using forged reducers (swage nipples)
or venturi tapers rather than bushings. This assures
minimum flow resistance and efficient pump operation.
The valves have a break off section below the inlet
pipe thread which is intended to permit the lower valve
body to shear off in an accident, leaving the valve
seat in the tank.
The break off section is designed
for container installations and will probably not
provide shear protection if the valve is installed in
a pipeline.
A hydrostatic relief valve does not need to be installed
adjacent to the valve since the internal valve relieves
excessive line pressure into the tank.
