Temperature Rating*
-25°F to 135°F (-32°C to 57°C)
*For temperatures below 32°F(0°C), valves must be drained after use to avoid damage. See section 2.0 SAFETY.
Environmental Rating
All components designed to meet minimum rating of NEMA 4 (IP65)
3.2 CORROSION
Aluminum parts are hard anodized. All castings are then powder coated inside and out to help prevent corrosion. Hose couplings are
attached using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical insulation to help prevent galvanic corrosion. The effects of corrosion
can be minimized by good maintenance practice. See section 9.0 MAINTENANCE.
3.3 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the valve
may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 MOUNTING ON TRUCK
Screw the large coupling to the pump inlet manifold. The valve position indicator should be clearly visible, but need not be level.
4.2 ENCLOSURE MOUNTING
Select proper location for display. A full size template is shown in section 12.0.
4.3 ELECTRIC INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Red (+) and black (-) wires must be connected to a 12 or 24 VDC protected circuit from the truck’s power distribution center. Figure
4.3 shows the control connections.
