Maintenance Instructions
Testing Procedures
1. Close inlet and outlet shut-off valves before disassembling
device.
2. Remove canopy screw and canopy.
3. Bleed off pressure by opening the No. 2 test cock.
4. Unscrew the bonnet from the body by turning counterclock-
wise. CAUTION: Apply force at the outside edge of bonnets.
DO NOT use wrench or screwdriver on top of bonnet or oat
guides, damage can result.
TEST NO. 2
Purpose: To test the check valve for tight-
ness in the direction of ow.
Requirement: The check valve shall be
drip-tight in the normal direction of ow
when the inlet pressure is at least 1.0 psi
and the outlet pressure is atmospheric.
STEPS:
1. Attach high side hose of the differential
pressure gauge to test cock #1. Open
test cock #1 and bleed all air from the
hose and the gauge by opening the
high side bleed needle valve. Close the
high side bleed needle valve.
2. Close inlet shut-off valve.
3. Open test cock #2. The air inlet valve
will open and the water in the body will
drain out through test cock #2. When
this ow of water stops, the differential
pressure indicated by the gauge after
it has settled will be the pressure drop
across the check valve. This value must
be 1.0 psi or greater. Record this value.
If water continues to ow out of test
cock #2, then the inlet shut-off valve is
leaking.
4. Close test cocks #1 and #2 and remove
equipment.
5. Replace air inlet canopy.
6. Open inlet shut-off valve, then outlet
shut-off valve.
5. Remove the oat assembly, spring retainer, spring and spider.
The seat and seat o-ring may now be removed.
6. Clean all parts with clean water only.
7. After completing inspection, replace necessary parts and re-
assemble. Repair kits are available from your supplier.
8. Retest according to "TESTING PROCEDURES".
Troubleshooting
TEST NO. 1
Purpose: To test the opening pressure dif-
ferential of the air inlet valve.
Requirement: The air inlet valve shall open
when the pressure in the body is more than
1.0 psi above atmospheric pressure. The
air inlet valve shall be fully open when the
water drains from the body.
STEPS:
1. Bleed water through both test cocks to
eliminate foreign material.
2. Install appropriate ttings for test kit
hoses.
3. Remove air inlet canopy.
4. Install the high side hose of the diffe-
rential pressure gauge to test cock
#2. Open test cock #2 and bleed air
from hose and gauge by opening the
high side bleed needle valve. Close
the high side bleed needle valve.
5. Close outlet shut-off valve then close
inlet shut-off valve.
6. Slowly open the high side bleed needle
valve being especially careful not to
drop the pressure differential too fast.
Record the pressure differential at
which the air inlet valve opens.
7. Close test cock #2 and remove equip-
ment.
8. Open inlet shut-off valve.
