PLUMBING

Valve Installation - good plumbing practices must be followed. Piping should be installed in such a way that the valve is not put in a bind. Access to the valve is necessary for use of manual override and valve replacement when necessary. The valve should have clearance all around. When gluing near valve, care must be taken not to get glue on the gate. All piping must be properly supported. The valve cannot support the piping.

SEALS

MECHANICAL OPERATION

A series of gears allow for a 50:1 gera reduction, developing the necessary torque.

A manual override is accessible from either side of the valve. It is located within the dome area.

To activate override, a 1/8” allen wrench is needed. There are directional arrows for

open/close. Gate is fully opened or closed with a turn and a half on the hex head. The hex head is
