Switch Block
NOTE:
The switch block is pre-configured in the
configuration purchased. The following procedures
describe how to attach color change stacks and to add a
dump manifold, a gun flush manifold, a dump/purge
plug, and fluid connections.
Attach a Color Change Stack
NOTE:
See
, page
12, if you don’t already have an already assembled color
change stack.
1.
Identify inlet sides 1 and 2 (numbers are etched in
the bottom manifold (9)) and the gun flush manifold
or plug (5 or 18). (See the
parts
diagram on page 22 for the location of referenced
parts.)
2.
Remove the shipping piece (or adapter connector)
and the end piece from the tie rods of the
assembled color change stack.
3.
Separate the tie rods from the color change stack
(do not separate individual color change valves) and
attach them to the holes straddling the side 1 or side
2 port on the bottom manifold.
4.
Slide the color change stack on the tie rods and
insert the fluid output port of the color change stack
into the inlet port of the bottom switch block
manifold.
5.
Attach the end block (6) to the ends of the tie rods
(8) and secure with the two screws (9). Torque to 35
in-lbs (4.0 N•m).
Attach a Dump Manifold
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes a dump
manifold is replacing a dump plug. The procedure can
also be used to replace an existing dump manifold.
1.
Identify inlet sides 1 and 2 on the bottom manifold.
2.
Loosen and remove the two screws (11 and 12) on
top of the color manifold (3), and remove the dump
plug (17) and o-ring (6) where the dump manifold
(9) will be attached. Discard the o-ring (6). (See the
parts diagram on page 22 for the
location of referenced parts.)
3.
Lubricate a new o-ring (6) and insert it in the port on
top of the color manifold (3).
4.
Align the slots in the dump manifold (9) with the
holes in the color manifold (3), and secure with the
two screws (11 and 12). Torque to 80-100 in-lb
(9.0-11.3 N•m).
NOTE:
The longer screw (11) is inserted in the hole
closest to the outlet side of the switch manifold, and the
shorter screw (12) is inserted in the hole towards the
inlet side.
5.
Lubricate the o-ring (16) and insert in it the valve
port of the dump manifold (9).
6.
Install the valve (4) in the valve port and torque to
50 in-lbs (5.6 N•m).
Attach a Gun Flush Manifold
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes a gun flush
manifold is replacing a purge plug. The procedure can
also be used to replace an existing gun flush manifold.
1.
Loosen and remove the two screws (14) on side of
the color manifold (3), and remove the purge plug
(18) and o-ring (6). Discard the o-ring (6). (See the
parts diagram on page 22 for the
location of referenced parts.)
2.
Install the elbow fitting (10) in the top of the gun
flush manifold (5) and orient as shown.
3.
Lubricate a new o-ring (6) and insert it in the purge
port on the side of the color manifold (3).
4.
Align the holes in the gun flush manifold (5) with the
holes in the color manifold (3), and secure with the
two screws (14). Torque to 80-100 in-lb (9.0-11.3
N•m).
5.
Lubricate the o-ring (16) and insert in it the valve
port of the gun flush manifold (5).
6.
Install the valve (4) in the valve port and torque to
50 in-lbs (5.6 N•m).
