General Instructions, Notices, and Warnings<br />

WARNING<br />

Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance must be performed only by<br />

qualified personnel.<br />

All gas must be isolated from the product to be repaired. Evacuate or isolate as<br />

necessary and as indicated in any instructions.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of RegO ® Products must be in compliance with<br />

all Enigneered Comtrols International, Inc. instructions as well as requirements and<br />

provisions of NFPA # 54, NFPA # 58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state,<br />

provincial and local standards, codes, regulations, and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance of RegO ® Products on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

When available, be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be passed along to the end user of<br />

the product.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and their vapors can cause serious<br />

injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas must be released outdoors in air currents that will<br />

ensure dispersion to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to prevent fire or explosion!<br />

LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not disperse or evaporate rapidly if released<br />

in still air.<br />

NOTICE<br />

<strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing, tools and work area must<br />

be completely free of oil, grease and foreign matter to prevent contamination of<br />

component parts and valves.<br />

General Instructions, Notices, and Warnings<br />

Determing The Age of Products<br />

All ECII ® products are mechanical devices that will eventually<br />

become inoperative due to wear, contaminants, corrosion<br />

and aging of components made of material such as metal<br />

and rubber.<br />

The environment and conditions of use will determine the<br />

safe service life of these products. Periodic inspection and<br />

maintenance are essential.<br />

Because ECII ® products have a long and proven record of quality<br />

and service, LP-Gas dealers may forget the hazards that can<br />

occur because products are used beyond their safe service life.<br />

The life of a product is determined by the environment in which it<br />

“lives.” The LP-Gas dealer knows better than anyone what this<br />

environment is.<br />

Since 1960, most RegO ® / ECII ® products are identified with an<br />

alphabetical code indicating the month and the year they were<br />

manufactured.<br />

Check the product for this code to determine age. If valves or regulators<br />

are repainted, take care to keep the date code clear for<br />

later identification and inspection.<br />

1960 to 1985 — Two-Letter Date Code<br />

First letter in date code is the month<br />

A — January<br />

G — July<br />

B — February H — August<br />

C — March I — September<br />

D — April J — October<br />

E — May<br />

K — November<br />

F — June L — December<br />

Relief valves used on ASME tanks carry a numerical code indicating<br />

month and year such as 1-75 means January, 1975.<br />

Second letter in date code is the year<br />

R — 1960 A — 1969 J — 1978<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc. thereof in writing, Engineered Controls<br />

International, Inc., at its option, and within forty-five days, will repair, replace F.O.B.<br />

point of manufacture, or refund the purchase price of that part or product found by<br />

it to be defective. Failure of buyer to give such written notice within thirty days shall<br />

be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of any and all claims of buyer arising<br />

out of such defect.<br />

This warranty does not extend to any product or part that is not installed and<br />

used in accordance with Engineered Controls International, Inc.’s printed<br />

instructions, all applicable state and local regulations, and all applicable<br />

national standards, such as those promulgated by NFPA, DOT and ANSI. This<br />

warranty does not extend to any product or part that has been damaged by<br />

accident, misuse, abuse or neglect, nor does it extend to any product or part<br />

which has been modified, altered, or repaired in the field.<br />

Except as expressly set forth above, and subject to the limitation of liability<br />

below, Engineered Controls International, Inc. makes NO OTHER WARRANTY,<br />

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED<br />

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR<br />

PURPOSE, with respect to its products and parts, whether used alone or in<br />

combination with others. Engineered Controls International, Inc. disclaims all<br />

warranties not stated herein.<br />

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc.’s total liability for any and all losses and damages<br />

arising out of any cause whatsoever shall in no event exceed the purchase<br />

price of the products or parts in respect of which such cause arises, whether such<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc. shall not be liable for incidental, consequential<br />

or punitive damages or other losses. Engineered Controls International, Inc. shall<br />

not be liable for, and buyer assumes liability for, all personal injury and property damage<br />

liable for such technical advice and buyer assumes all risks of such advice and the<br />

results thereof.<br />

NOTE: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential<br />

warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from<br />

State to State. The portions of this limited warranty and limitation of liability shall be<br />

considered severable and all portions which are not disallowed by applicable law<br />

are essential to avoid serious injury and property damage.<br />

which are incorporated by others on or in other products or systems used for<br />

storage, transport, transfer and otherwise for use of toxic, flammable and dangerous<br />

liquids and gases. Such substances must be handled by experienced and trained<br />

personnel only, using accepted governmental and industrial safety procedures.<br />

NOTICE TO USERS OF PRODUCTS<br />

The Limited Warranty stated above is a factory warranty to the first purchasers of<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc. products. Since most users have purchased<br />

these products from Engineered Controls International, Inc. distributors, the user<br />

must within thirty (30) days after the user’s discovery of what user believes is a<br />

to Engineered Controls International, Inc., pursuant to its Limited Warranty.<br />

Failure by buyer to give such written notice within thirty (30) days shall be deemed<br />

an absolute and unconditional waiver of buyer’s claim for such defects. Acceptance<br />

of any alleged defective product/parts by Engineered Controls International, Inc.’s<br />

International, Inc.’s Limited warranty in no way obligates Engineered Controls<br />

CLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF THIS<br />

SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. Completely shut-off gas supply to the coupling, both upstream and<br />

downstream.<br />

2. Safely disconnect the male half from the female half of the coupling.<br />

CAUTION: Protective eyewear and gloves must be worn when<br />

disconnecting the coupling.<br />

3. Safely remove internal pressure from lines both upstream and<br />

downstream of the coupling.<br />

4. Remove the white teflon washer and o-ring from the groove inside<br />

the female coupling half. Use a plastic or wood tool so as not to<br />

scratch or nick the surface of the groove. Retain the white teflon<br />

washer and discard the o-ring.<br />

5. Clean both coupling halves.<br />

6. Inspect the male coupling half for damage. If there is damage to the<br />

sealing area of poppet, remove and discard the male half and<br />

replace with a new male coupling — #A2141A6M for the 3 /4" and<br />

#A2141A8M for the 1".<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Be sure the seal groove is clean in the female coupling. Lightly<br />

lubricate the groove with hydraulic oil or petroleum grease.<br />

2. Install the new o-ring and the white teflon washer into the seal<br />

groove. The o-ring is installed behind the white teflon washer as<br />

illustrated in the drawings. The o-ring for the 3 /4" coupling is in Kit<br />

#A2141A6-50 and the 1" coupling is in #A2141A8-50.<br />

3. Lightly lubricate both coupling halves with hydraulic oil or petroleum<br />

grease.<br />

4. To reconnect, push the male half firmly into the female half until the<br />

retaining balls slip into the retaining groove of the male half.<br />

5. Pressurize the system and check for leaks at connection points with<br />

a high quality leak detection solution.<br />

NOTE: It is recommended that pull-away valves be maintained and<br />

safely tested periodically to confirm that they will separate properly<br />

in the event of a pull-away. Lubrication on a monthly basis is<br />

essential to the pull-away’s operation. Dry nitrogen or other inert<br />

gas is suggested as a source of pressure for pull-away tests.<br />

Underwriters Laboratories requires the male end of the coupling be<br />

lubricated at least every six months.<br />

If the pull-away valve is going to be stored for a period of time, such<br />

as in seasonal applications, it is recommended that it be sprayed<br />

with a good grade of rust-preventative machine oil or covered to<br />

protect from moisture. A test should be conducted to confirm<br />

proper performance, including a simulated pull-away, prior to<br />

putting the pull-away valve back in service.<br />

be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

All gas MUST be evacuated from the system before starting<br />

repairs.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPa #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Disassembly and <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

CAUTION: READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, IN-<br />

CLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF THIS<br />

SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. Completely shut-off gas supply to the coupling, both upstream and<br />

downstream.<br />

2. Safely disconnect the male half from the female half of the coupling.<br />

CAUTION: Protective eyewear and gloves must be worn when<br />

disconnecting the coupling.<br />

3. Safely remove internal pressure from lines both upstream and<br />

downstream of the coupling.<br />

4. Remove the white teflon washer and o-ring from the groove inside<br />

the female coupling half. Use a plastic or wood tool so as not to<br />

scratch or nick the surface of the groove. Retain the white teflon<br />

washer and discard the o-ring.<br />

5. Clean both coupling halves.<br />

6. Inspect the male coupling half for damage. If there is damage to the<br />

sealing area of poppet, remove and discard the male half and<br />

replace with a new male coupling – part number A2141A10M and<br />

A2141A16M (see chart).<br />

<strong>Repair</strong> <strong>Kits</strong> for A2141A10 and<br />

A2141A16 Pull-Away Valves<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Be sure the seal groove is clean in the female coupling. Lightly<br />

lubricate the groove with hydraulic oil or petroleum grease.<br />

2. Install the new o-ring and the white teflon washer into the seal<br />

groove. The o-ring is installed behind the white teflon washer as<br />

illustrated in the drawings. The o-ring for the 1 1 /4" coupling is in<br />

#A2141A10-50 and the 2" coupling is in #A2141A16-50.<br />

3. Lightly lubricate both coupling halves with hydraulic oil or petroleum<br />

grease.<br />

4. To reconnect, push the male half firmly into the female half until the<br />

retaining balls slip into the retaining groove of the male half.<br />

5. Pressurize the system and check for leaks at connection points with<br />

a high quality leak detection solution.<br />

NOTE: It is recommended that pull-away valves be maintained and<br />

safely tested periodically to confirm that they will separate properly in the<br />

event of a pull-away. Lubrication on a monthly basis is essential to the<br />

pull-away’s operation. Dry nitrogen or other inert gas is suggested as a<br />

source of pressure during such test.<br />

Underwriters Laboratories requires the male end of the coupling be<br />

lubricated at least every six months.<br />

If the pull-away valve is going to be stored for a period of time, such as<br />

in seasonal applications, it is recommended that it be sprayed with a<br />

good grade of rust-preventative machine oil or covered to protect from<br />

moisture. A test should be conducted to confirm proper performance,<br />

including a simulated pull-away, prior to putting the pull-away valve back<br />

in service.<br />

WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance must<br />

be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

Regulators must be removed from the system before starting<br />

repairs. Regulators must never be repaired while installed in the<br />

system.<br />

All repaired regulators must be properly bench tested for performance<br />

and leakage before being placed back in operation. Do not<br />

repair any regulator if proper bench testing equipment is not<br />

available. All parts included in the repair kit must be used, and the<br />

instructions followed. Failure to use all parts, follow all instructions<br />

and bench test the repaired regulator will probably result in faulty<br />

performance.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Regulators should have a casual inspection for corrosion by<br />

examining the surface and looking into the bonnet after the bonnet<br />

cap has been removed. This sometimes will alert the inspector to<br />

corrosive conditions. Certainly, if there is any evidence or suspicion<br />

of corrosion the system should be shut down. The adjusting<br />

screw and spring should be removed and the bonnet should be<br />

examined with a strong flashlight.<br />

If any corrosion is evident, replace the regulator.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance<br />

must be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

All gas MUST be evacuated from the system before starting<br />

repairs.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP -Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

NOTE: When servicing obsolete 3100 and 7100 Series cylinder<br />

valves, a conversion to the o-ring style trim is preferred to straight<br />

repair. The o-ring style assembly provides construction that is<br />

more resistant to over-torquing on closure or opening to the backseated<br />

position. Installation in the field is easier, due to metal-tometal<br />

makeup between the body and bonnet and the elimination of<br />

retaining compound as a thread sealant. Order Engineered Controls<br />

International, Inc. repair kit 3100-81K for conversion to the o-<br />

ring style.<br />

Disassembly and <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

CAUTION: READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS,<br />

INCLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF<br />

THIS SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR RE-<br />

PAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. EVACUATE ALL GAS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE ANY<br />

DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR. Turn handwheel counter clockwise<br />

as far as it will go to release any gas remaining in the container.<br />

CAUTION: Do not apply force after valve is fully open and backseated.<br />

<strong>Repair</strong> <strong>Kits</strong> for 3100 and<br />

7100 Series Cylinder Valves<br />

2. Using a screwdriver, remove the handwheel screw and washer by<br />

turning counterclockwise--thus allowing removal of the handwheel.<br />

Save these parts for reassembly.<br />

3. Place the valve body securely in a vise or hold the body with a<br />

wrench if still in the cylinder. Remove the bonnet, turning counterclockwise<br />

(right hand thread). A substantial wrench must be used<br />

as the bonnet was originally installed using retaining compound.<br />

Attached to the bonnet will be the valve stem and diaphragm<br />

assembly.<br />

4a. If using repair kit 3100-80A, discard the entire diaphrgam, bonnet<br />

and stem assembly. Proceed to the reassembly instructions.<br />

4b. If using repair kit 3100-80B, follow all of the remaining disassembly<br />

and reassembly instructions.<br />

5. Detach the diaphragm assembly from the bonnet and valve stem by<br />

turning the square of the valve stem in a clockwise (right hand)<br />

direction to remove the stem from the bonnet The diaphragm<br />

assembly may be detached by sliding the diaphragm stem head out<br />

of the slotted opening of the valve stem. Remove the backseat<br />

washer from the stem. Discard the diaphragm assembly, and<br />

backseat washer, and save the bonnet and stem assembly.<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Brush the threads of the bonnet with a wire brush to make the<br />

thread surfaces as clean as possible by removing old retaining<br />

compound and other foreign materials present which may prevent<br />

a tight seal. The female threads in the valve body from which the<br />

bonnet was removed cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with a wire<br />

brush. To remove the old compound, use a 1 1 /16"-18 NEF-2 thread<br />

tap (available from local sources). Care must be used in applying<br />

the tap so that it starts squarely in the body threads. If oil or grease<br />

is present on the body or bonnet threads, it should be removed with<br />

a suitable solvent.<br />

CAUTION: Do not scratch or mar seat area in valve body.<br />

2a. If using repair kit 3100-80A, proceed to step 3.<br />

2b. If using repair kit 3100-80B, place new backseat washer over<br />

stem and insert into bonnet. Slide the stem head of the new<br />

diaphragm assembly into the slotted opening of the valve stem of<br />

the bonnet and stem assembly. Turn the square of the valve stem<br />

counterclockwise until the diaphragm is almost touching the<br />

bottom of the bonnet.<br />

3. At this point you will have either a completely new diaphragm,<br />

bonnet and stem assembly or a bonnet and stem assembly with a<br />

new backseat washer and diaphragm assembly. In either case, be<br />

sure the diaphragm is positioned so that it almost touches the<br />

bottom of the bonnet. This is accomplished by turning the valve<br />

stem.<br />

4. Turn the square of the valve stem counterclockwise so that the<br />

diaphragm touches the bottom of the bonnet just enough to keep<br />

it in place. Add 1 /4 to 1 /2 counterclockwise turns to cup the<br />

diaphragm slightly. This is important as it positions the diaphragm<br />

properly so that when the valve is completelyassembled, the bonnet<br />

and body will grip the diaphragm properly and supply sufficient<br />

slack to permit the valve to open and close without undue strain on<br />

the diaphragm.<br />

5. Carefully apply one 1 /8" strip of loctite around the bonnet threads<br />

approximately two threads up from the diaphragm end. Never<br />

apply loctite directly to the female body thread, because the bonnet<br />

will push the loctite ahead of it and come in contact with the<br />

diaphragm and result in damage to the diaphragm.<br />

NOTE: Do not allow loctite to contact the diaphragm or seat disc.<br />

6. Install the diaphragm, bonnet and stem assembly into the valve<br />

body turning clockwise and tighten to 250 inch-lbs. torque. This<br />

torque is extremely important and therefore a torque wrench must<br />

be used. Allow loctite to dry.<br />

7. It is advisable to spot check some of the bonnet body joints after the<br />

loctite has hardened for a period of at least 24 hours. Using a torque<br />

wrench, the torque necessary to break this seal must be at least 300<br />

inch-lbs. If the seal can be broken at lower torque the parts were<br />

not properly cleaned or the loctite was not properly applied. This<br />

torque must be at least 300 inch-lbs. to assure that the bonnet does<br />

not loosen and come out in service, which would result in a<br />

hazardous condition that could result in fire and personal injury.<br />

8. Reassemble handwheel to valve stem and secure with screw and<br />

washer. Tighten firmly with a screwdriver. Check valve for proper<br />

operation.<br />

9. Turn handwheel fully clockwise to close valve. If valve was removed<br />

from the cylinder, reinstall the valve.<br />

10. Pressurize cylinder. Check all seal points for leaks by applying a<br />

high quality leak detection solution.<br />

NOTICE<br />

LP-Gas is extremely flammable and explosive. Failure to install parts exactly as<br />

described in the instructions could result in a product that will not perform satisfactorily.<br />

Even if parts are correctly installed, the product might fail to perform satisfactorily if other<br />

parts are worn, corroded or dirty. Improper repair can cause leaks and malfunction,<br />

which could result in bodily injury and property damage. Any such use or installation<br />

of parts must ONLY be done by experienced and trained personnel using<br />

accepted governmental and industrial safety procedures.<br />

Conversion To O-Ring Construction<br />

When servicing the obsolete 3100 and 7100 cylinder valves, a<br />

conversion to O-ring style trim is preferred to a straight repair.<br />

The new assembly provides construction that is more resistant<br />

to over-torquing on closure or opening to the backseated<br />

position. Installation in the field is easier, due to metal-to-metal<br />

makeup between the body and bonnet and the elimination of<br />

litharge cement as a thread sealant.<br />

The 3100-81K conversion assembly, illustrated, utilizes a new<br />

bonnet and replaces the diaphragm type trim with the O-ring<br />

type. Only the handwheel, screw and washer from the old<br />

assembly are retained.<br />

1. Lubricate existing outer stem bearing, new stem O-ring and assemble<br />

into seal gland.<br />

2. Lubricate new dust seal and press fit into seal gland.<br />

3. Lubricate and place the (3) new stem seals, new jam ring and new<br />

stem washer into seal gland. Place new stem spring into seal gland.<br />

4. Carefully thread the entire rebuilt seal gland assembly over stem and<br />

into valve body.<br />

CAUTION: Use special care in replacing seal gland assembly.<br />

Excessive force could cut resilient parts.<br />

5. Install the appropriate actuator onto valve.<br />

Manual Actuator:<br />

a. Install lever on stem and align holes.<br />

b. Secure with cotter pin.<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Installation:<br />

NOTE: Lubricant compound 11550-215, or the equivalent,<br />

should be applied in a light coating when specified. Torque<br />

tolerance is +/- 10 lbs. Refer to Diagram 2 during assembly of<br />

the pneumatic actuator.<br />

a. Remove the clevis and clevis locknut from the air chamber shaft.<br />

Remove cotter pin and pivot pin from the clevis.<br />

b. Assemble the air chamber to the bracket using the air chamber<br />

nuts and lock washers. Center the air chamber shaft in the<br />

clearance hole of the bracket. Tighten air chamber nuts to 375<br />

in/lbs.<br />

c. Reassemble the clevis locknut and clevis to the air chamber<br />

shaft. Adjust the clevis so that the center of the pivot pin hole is<br />

2 3 /4" from the bracket with the pivot pin holes in the horizontal<br />

plane. Lock the clevis in place with the clevis locknut using 200<br />

in/lbs torque.<br />

d. Mount the above bracket assembly to the valve face with the<br />

bracket screws and lock washers. Be sure that the top of the<br />

bracket is even with the upper edge of the valve face and<br />

centered around the hex of the packing gland. Torque the<br />

bracket screws to 60 in/lbs.<br />

e. Assemble the crank arm onto the valve stem so that the crank<br />

arm leg clears the clevis legs. Rotate the crank arm so the leg<br />

positions itself between the legs of the clevis. Align cotter pin<br />

holes and secure with the cotter pin. Spread and bend the ends<br />

of the pin back onto the hub.<br />

f. Assemble the two pivot pin washers onto the pivot pin. Lubricate<br />

the pivot pin shaft and assemble through the holes of the clevis<br />

legs and crank arm leg. The air chamber shaft can be displaced<br />

manually along with movement of the crank arm to effect<br />

alignment. Once the pivot pin is engaged, check to see that the<br />

crank arm leg is at approximately 35 ° to the vertical. If bench<br />

assembled, the cam should be horizontal, or slightly below<br />

horizontal, and the clearance between the cam and the end of<br />

the poppet should measure 3 /16" + /- 1 /64".<br />

Should an adjustment be necessary, follow these procedures:<br />

i) Remove the pivot pin and pivot pin washers.<br />

ii) Rotate the crank arm counterclockwise until the leg clears the<br />

clevis.<br />

iii)Loosen the clevis locknut and adjust the clevis appropriately,<br />

in or out. A half a turn of the clevis changes the angle<br />

approximately 3 /4 degree, or the cam/poppet clearance by<br />

.010".<br />

iv)Reassemble the pivot pin and the pivot pin washers. Check<br />

again for proper angle/clearance. Once correct, lock the<br />

clevis in place with the clevis locknut.<br />

v) Assemble the cotter pin into the pivot pin hole. Spread and<br />

turn back the cotter pin legs around the pivot pin shaft.<br />

Functional Testing<br />

Connect a 50 to 60 psig air line through a pressure regulated valve to the<br />

actuator.<br />

Bench Testing<br />

Slowly and alternately apply 0 to 35 psig air pressure to the actuator two<br />

or three times while checking for binding and any interference. Make any<br />

necessary adjustments so the actuator opens freely . Be sure the<br />

actuator shaft bottoms out on the actuator housing at full stroke and not<br />

within the valve.<br />

Installed Testing<br />

Same as the bench test, except a higher air pressure may be necessary<br />

if tank pressure is present.<br />

pivot pin is engaged, check the top surface of the crank arm in<br />

relationship to the top edge of the valve face, or to a horizontal, so<br />

viewed from the end of the valve stem. The crank arm top surface<br />

should be at a slight angle to the left, as if rotated counterclockwise<br />

from the horizontal, approximately two to three degrees. Measure<br />

the clearance between the collar and end of the poppet through the<br />

outlet of the valve. It should measure 3 /32" ± 1 /64".


8. Assemble the cotter pin into the pivot pin hole. Spread and turn back<br />

the cotter pin legs around the pivot pin shaft.<br />

9. Bench test the actuating mechanism by applying 0 to 35 psig air<br />

pressure to the actuator two or three times while checking for<br />

binding or interference. Be sure it operates smoothly and freely.<br />

Test Procedures<br />

1. Open and close the valve three or four times. Check for smooth<br />

operation and proper opening and closing of the main seat (1 1 /8"<br />

nominal opening). See caution note in test #2.<br />

2. If the manual actuator is used, the release lever should snap back<br />

to the closed position when released from the open position.<br />

CAUTION: Stand clear of the handle when releasing from the open<br />

position, via the lever eye bolts, as the handle snaps back with<br />

force. The stop screw on the handle should clear the lever when the<br />

lever is fully actuated.<br />

Do not put any valve into service that does not pass the mechanical test.<br />

Follow ECII instruction sheet A3219-300 for valve installation and<br />

operation. Follow ECII instruction sheet A3219-301 for the pneumatic<br />

actuator installation and operation.<br />

the pivot pin is engaged, check the top surface of the crank arm in<br />

relationship to the top edge of the valve face, or to a horizontal, so<br />

viewed from the end of the valve stem. The crank arm top surface<br />

should be at a slight angle to the left, as if rotated counterclockwise<br />

from the horizontal, approximately two to three degrees. Measure<br />

the clearance between the collar and end of the poppet through<br />

the outlet of the valve. It should measure 3 /32" ± 1 /64".<br />

8. Assemble the cotter pin into the pivot pin hole. Spread and turn<br />

back the cotter pin legs around the pivot pin shaft.<br />

9. Bench test the actuating mechanism by applying 0 to 35 psig air<br />

pressure to the actuator two or three times while checking for binding<br />

or interference. Be sure it operates smoothly and freely.<br />

Test Procedures<br />

1. Open and close the valve three or four times. Check for smooth<br />

operation and proper opening and closing of the main seat (1 1 /8"<br />

nominal opening). See caution note in test #2.<br />

2. If the manual actuator is used, the release lever should snap back


to the closed position when released from the open position.<br />

CAUTION: Stand clear of the handle when releasing from the open<br />

position, via the lever eye bolts, as the handle snaps back with<br />

force. The stop screw on the handle should clear the lever when the<br />

lever is fully actuated.<br />

Do not put any valve into service that does not pass the mechanical<br />

test. Follow ECII instruction sheet A3219-300 for valve installation and<br />

operation. Follow ECII instruction sheet A3219-301 for the pneumatic<br />

actuator installation and operation.

Disassembly and <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

CAUTION: READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, IN-<br />

CLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF THIS<br />

SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. Remove cap and save for reassembly.<br />

If the valve is repaired with gas in the container (emergency<br />

service):<br />

2. Depress upper check to assure lower check is functioning properly.<br />

(<strong>Part</strong> number 3119A Unloading Adapter may be used to depress<br />

upper check.) If the lower check does not restrict the flow of gas<br />

from the valve, the upper body and check must not be removed<br />

because an uncontrolled, hazardous amount of gas will discharge<br />

from the valve. If this is the case, the container must be<br />

emptied and a new filler valve installed.<br />

If the valve is to remain on the cylinder, hold the lower body with a<br />

second wrench to keep it from being unscrewed while removing the<br />

upper body.<br />

Continue with disassembly steps A4.<br />

7579-50 Assembly for 6579<br />

and 7579 Series Filler Valves<br />

If the valve is repaired with all gas evacuated from the container:<br />

3. Clamp the lower body in a vise with filler opening up.<br />

4. Removing upper body:<br />

a. Current Valves: Use a 7 /8" internal hex wrench that can develop<br />

2000 in/lbs torque. Remove and discard upper body (7579-2A)<br />

by turning counterclockwise. See Figure 1.<br />

b. Obsolete Valves: Grip the flat section of the upper body (7579-<br />

2) with a 1 1 /8" open end wrench that can develop at least 2000<br />

in/lbs torque. Remove and discard by turning upper body<br />

counterclockwise. See Figure 2.<br />

5. Remove and discard seat disc and retainer assembly, spring and<br />

gasket, taking care to keep from scratching lower body in gasket<br />

seal area.<br />

6. Inspect lower body and clean if necessary. Be sure interior and<br />

gasket seal area are free of dirt, residue and foreign particles.<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Install new gasket (7579-8) in lower body.<br />

2. Place new spring (7579-3) over guide of lower body as shown.<br />

3. Insert new seat disc and retainer assembly (7579-9) into spring.<br />

4. Apply two drops of cement (5555LT271) to threads of upper body<br />

that mate with lower body as shown in Figure 1.<br />

CAUTION: Do not allow cement to contact seat disc.<br />

5. Press seat disc retainer into guide until female threads of lower body<br />

are exposed. Hold in position with the eraser end of a pencil. Place<br />

new upper body (7579-2A) over pencil and thread into lower body.<br />

Tighten to 1500-1800 in/lbs torque, using a suitable 7 /8" internal hex<br />

wrench.<br />

CAUTION: Unless seat disc retainer is held in guide during<br />

assembly, internal parts of valve may be damaged and threads<br />

of upper body and lower body will not engage properly.<br />

6. Depress and release seat disc and retainer assembly a few times,<br />

If freedom of movement or proper seating is not possible, disassemble<br />

and repeat steps B2 through B5.<br />

7. Install new gasket (2697-20) in upper body.<br />

8. Reinstall valve and or pressurize container. Check for proper<br />

operation and check all seal points for leaks by applying a leak<br />

detection solution.<br />

WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance must<br />

be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

MAINTENANCE ON THE UPPER BODY OF THE 6579 AND 7579<br />

FILLER VALVES SHOULD BE PERFORMED AFTER ALL GAS IS<br />

EVACUATED FROM THE CONTAINER. EMERGENCY SERVICE<br />

MAY BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE VALVE INSTALLED, BUT ONLY<br />

UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR RELEASING<br />

LP-GAS (SEE CAUTION).<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH 3<br />

and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

Disassembly and <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

CAUTION: READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, IN-<br />

CLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF THIS<br />

SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. Remove cap and save for reassembly.<br />

If the valve is repaired with gas in the container (emergency<br />

service):<br />

2. Depress upper check to assure lower check is functioning properly.<br />

(<strong>Part</strong> number 3119A Unloading Adapter may be used to depress<br />

upper check.) If the lower check does not restrict the flow of gas<br />

from the valve, the upper body and check must not be removed<br />

because an uncontrolled, hazardous amount of gas will discharge<br />

from the valve. If this is the case, the container must be<br />

emptied and a new filler valve installed.<br />

If the valve is to remain on the cylinder, hold the lower body with a<br />

second wrench to keep it from being unscrewed while removing the<br />

upper body.<br />

Continue with disassembly step A4.<br />

7579-80 Assembly for 6579<br />

and 7579 Series Filler Valves<br />

If the valve is repaired with all gas evacuated from the container:<br />

3. Clamp the lower body in a vise with filler opening up.<br />

4. Removing upper body:<br />

a. Current Valves: Use a 7 /8" internal hex wrench that can develop<br />

2000 in/lbs torque. Remove upper body (7579-2A) by turning<br />

counterclockwise. See Figure 1. Save for reassembly.<br />

b. Obsolete Valves: Grip the flat section of the upper body (7579-<br />

2) with a 1 1 /8" open end wrench that can develop at least 2000 in/<br />

lbs torque. Remove by turning upper body counterclockwise.<br />

Save for reassembly. See Figure 2.<br />

5. Remove and discard seat disc and retainer assembly, spring and<br />

gasket, taking care to keep from scratching lower body in gasket<br />

seal area.<br />

6. Inspect lower body and clean if necessary, be sure interior and<br />

gasket seal area are free of dirt, residue and foreign particles.<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Install new gasket (7579-8) in lower body.<br />

2. Place new spring (7579-3) over guide of lower body as shown.<br />

3. Insert new seat disc and retainer assembly (7579-9) into spring.<br />

4. Apply two drops of cement (5555LT271) to threads of upper body<br />

that mate with lower body as shown in Figure 1.<br />

CAUTION: Do not allow cement to contact seat disc.<br />

5. Press seat disc retainer into guide until female threads of lower body<br />

are exposed. Hold in position with the eraser end of a pencil.<br />

Replace upper body over pencil and thread into lower body, tighten<br />

to 1500-1800 in/lbs torque, using a suitable 7 /8" internal hex wrench.<br />

CAUTION: Unless seat disc retainer is held in guide during assembly,<br />

internal parts of valve may be damaged and threads of upper<br />

body and lower body will not engage properly.<br />

6. Depress and release seat disc and retainer assembly a few times,<br />

if freedom of movement or proper seating is not possible, disassemble<br />

and repeat steps B2 through B5.<br />

7. Install new gasket (2697-20) in upper body.<br />

8. Reinstall valve and or pressurize container. Check for proper<br />

operation and check all seal points for leaks by applying a leak<br />

detection solution.<br />

9. Replace cap.<br />

Disassembly & <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

NOTE: Before repairing valve, thoroughly examine valve for excessive<br />

wear and the operating lever for proper function. Any components<br />

that are not in good condition and fully operational should be<br />

replaced during repairs.<br />

<strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing, tools<br />

and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

Clean the valve body and all parts before reassembly.<br />

Disassembly<br />

1. Remove the two (2) acorn nuts which attach the cover to the valve<br />

body. Set aside for reassembly.<br />

2. Remove the cover and save for reassembly. If cables are attached<br />

for remote closure, let the cover hang loose. The cover may be<br />

used as a means of retaining parts removed that will be used<br />

during reassembly.<br />

3. Using a screwdriver, pry the retainer off the stem which holds the<br />

latching mechanism. Remove and save the retainer, latching<br />

mechanism and spring for reassembly.<br />

4. Using a pair of pliers, carefully disengage the return spring.<br />

CAUTION: Once the return spring is disengaged it will spring<br />

forward sharply.<br />

5. Using an allen wrench, loosen (but do not remove) the set screw.<br />

Remove the tripper and return spring from the shaft. Retain the<br />

parts for reassembly.<br />

6. Remove and discard nylon gasket.<br />

7. Remove and retain nut, washer and handle.<br />

8. Remove the eight (8) cap screws and washers. Using a small blade<br />

screwdriver, place it between the body and plate and pry apart<br />

slowly to remove plate. Save all parts for reassembly.


9. Remove the plate gasket and discard.<br />

10. To remove the flapper assembly, which incorporates the seat disc,<br />

the shaft must be twisted slightly while holding the flapper assembly<br />

in place. <strong>By</strong> using a pulling force on the shaft and twisting slowly,<br />

the squares will align in both pieces allowing the shaft to be pulled<br />

through and removed, In addition, the metal washer on the end of<br />

the shaft should be removed. Retain the shaft and metal washer for<br />

reassembly. Discard the flapper assembly.<br />

NOTE: The remaining disassembly steps involve removal of each seal<br />

housing. When required, complete each step for each of the two (2) seal<br />

housings.<br />

11. Using a 1 3 /8" wrench, with a handle of sufficient length to develop<br />

a minimum of 1000 in/lbs torque, loosen each seal housing counterclockwise.<br />

Remove and save. If the valve is in the system, place<br />

the plate onto the body and hold in place using the cap screws<br />

during seal housing removal.<br />

CAUTION: Be careful not to scratch or mar the finish on the shaft.<br />

12. Remove and discard the four (4) pressure seal rings and two (2) shaft<br />

O-rings from the seal housings. Retain seal housings.<br />

13. Remove and retain the shaft.<br />

14. Remove and retain spring. Remove and discard two (2) seal<br />

housing gaskets, two (2) seal housing washers and two (2) jam rings<br />

from body and plate.<br />

NOTE: Inspect shaft surface for scratching or scoring. Inspect seal<br />

housing threads for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.<br />

Reassembly<br />

NOTE: Be sure all parts are clean.<br />

1. Install two (2) new seal housing gaskets, spring, two (2) new seal<br />

housing washers and two (2) new jam rings onto body and plate.<br />

2. Install two (2) new shaft O-rings into groove of each seal housing.<br />

3. Spray a thin film of #5555MK grease onto the four (4) new pressure<br />

seal rings and carefully insert them one at a time into the full depth<br />

of each seal housing (2 per housing).<br />

4. Apply #5555LT loctite across the threads in three places equally<br />

spaced around each seal housing.<br />

CAUTION: Do not allow loctite to contact rubber components. Use<br />

sparingly.<br />

5. Thread each seal housing into position clockwise. Tighten to 800<br />

in/lb torque with a 1 3 /8" wrench.<br />

6. Place the metal washer and new flapper assembly onto the shaft.<br />

Slowly insert the shaft through the bearing in the body and seal area<br />

until the flapper is directly in line with the valve seat in the body.<br />

Operate manually to make sure the valve is not jammed.<br />

7. Apply a thin film of #5555GS-8 grease to the new plate gasket. With<br />

the new plate gasket in position, assemble the plate to the body and<br />

check for proper shaft rotation.<br />

NOTE: There should be a slight drag on the shaft.<br />

8. Secure the plate to the body with the eight (8) cap screws and<br />

washers. Apply a light torque to screws in four corners using a<br />

clockwise rotation, top to bottom and left to right. At the same time,<br />

move the shaft to make sure that no excessive binding occurs.<br />

Tighten down these four screws and be sure shaft moves freely.<br />

Tighten the other four screws.<br />

9. Assemble the nylon gasket and return spring onto shaft on plate<br />

side of assembly. On the other side, assemble the handle to the<br />

shaft with the nut and washer and tighten. Be sure that when the<br />

flapper assembly seat disc is closed that the handle is in the down<br />

position.<br />

10. Assemble the latching mechanism onto shaft and insert wire from<br />

return spring into the latch hole. Take the other end of the return<br />

spring and pull back to where hex stem is inserted and place loop<br />

of spring over hex, making sure the loop of the return spring rests<br />

in the undercut of the stem. If the loop is too large, bend slightly into<br />

place using pliers. At this time, there should be tension on the return<br />

spring and the valve should close quickly. If this does not happen,<br />

the valve must be reworked. Once functioning properly, tighten the<br />

set screw into the tripper being careful not to overtighten.<br />

11. Assemble spring and latching mechanism onto stem. Be sure that<br />

Tripper (7605-9) Set Screw (7605-39)<br />

Detail of Flapper Assembly<br />

once in place, one end of the spring is connected to the latch<br />

mechanism and the other end rests on top of the return spring. At<br />

this point, there should be tension on the latching mechanism which<br />

should readily bring it back and forth. If this does not occur, the<br />

spring is improperly assembled and must be corrected. Securely<br />

assemble the retainer onto the stem to retain the latching mechanism.<br />

Cycle the valve. As each cycle occurs, the tripper should<br />

catch into the open area of the latching mechanism on each opening<br />

If this does not occur, the latching mechanism must be removed<br />

and corrected.<br />

12. Pressurize the system and check all seal points for leaks by applying<br />

a high quality leak detection solution.<br />

13. Attach the cover and secure with the two (2) acorn nuts.<br />

14. Check the valve for proper operation by immediately performing the<br />

shutdown test as described in the Inspection and Maintenance<br />

Program, that is recommended every six (6) months.<br />

Ispection and Maintenance Program<br />

WARNING: The Emergency Shut-Off Valves and their control<br />

systems are mechanical devices and must be inspected, maintained<br />

and operated at regular intervals if they are to ensure<br />

protection of your plant. Make all adjustments and repairs to the<br />

ESV or control system immediately upon discovery.<br />

Follow these routine check lists. Since each ESV system is unique, the<br />

check lists are not all-inclusive. Therefore, add your individual installation<br />

requirements as needed.<br />

Daily:<br />

With the ESV open, trip the latch and make sure the valve handle moves<br />

to the closed position (perpendicular to the piping).<br />

NOTE: Without liquid or vapor flow, the valve handle may rotate slowly<br />

when released. This occurs particularly when line pressures are high or<br />

when the valve handle has not been moved for a long time.


Monthly:<br />

1. Check the transfer hose release cable. Be certain all clamps are<br />

secured properly and that the cable is adjusted to trip the latch when<br />

the hose is stretched.<br />

2. Check all remote release cables. Be certain that all cables are<br />

properly installed to ensure that the latch releases when the cable<br />

is pulled from all remote locations.<br />

3. Check that all instruction signs are visible and legible.<br />

4. Inspect the entire system for damage, wear, or corrosion, and repair<br />

or replace components as needed.<br />

5. Check the pneumatic shutdown system, if applicable, to ensure that<br />

the charging valve and all operating valves are in good working<br />

order, that all tubing is free of kinks or damage and that the control<br />

pressure is between 20 and 50 PSIG.<br />

Every 6 months:<br />

Perform the appropriate shutdown test.<br />

1. Delivery truck loading: Trip the latch on the ESV in the liquid line to make<br />

sure the ESV closes rapidly with the pump or compressor running.<br />

CAUTION: Immediately after tripping the latch, shut off the pump<br />

or compressor to prevent excessive differential pressures and<br />

possible damage to the pumping system.<br />

2. Transport unloading: Trip the latch on the ESV in the vapor line when<br />

the pressure in the transport is at least 25 PSIG less than that in the<br />

storage tank to make sure the ESV closes rapidly. (One way of<br />

creating the pressure difference is to shut off the vapor equalizing<br />

line while unloading the transport.)<br />

Carefully slide it off the end of the stem. Save for reassembly.<br />

6. Slide the packing out from the inside of the bonnet.<br />

Remove and discard. Remove the bonnet gasket from the<br />

back of the bonnet and discard.<br />

NOTE: The bonnet gasket may be lodged on the machined<br />

surface inside the manifold body.<br />

7. Remove the washer located behind the bonnet by sliding it<br />

over the end of the stem. Discard.<br />

8. Clean and wash all threads and surfaces on the bonnet<br />

thoroughly.<br />

Reassembly:<br />

1. Slip new washer over stem and slide it down until it contacts<br />

the retaining ring.<br />

2. After applying a light coating of grease or anti-seize lubricant<br />

to the stem and bonnet cap gasket, stick the bonnet cap<br />

gasket to the sealing surface on the bonnet.<br />

3. Apply a thread locking compound to the main threads on<br />

the bonnet. Slide the bonnet down the stem and tighten.<br />

4. Install new packing by sliding it down the stem and into the<br />

bonnet.<br />

5. Slide gland onto the stem and tighten using a 9 /16" wrench.<br />

6. Insert new Woodruff Key into the slot on the end of the stem.<br />

7. Slide handle assembly down the stem unit it is centered over<br />

the Woodruff Key.<br />

8. Secure handle to the stem by installing new set screw and<br />

tightening.<br />

9. Work the handle back and forth several times for even<br />

distribution of lubrication.<br />

NOTE • If the handle is too tight and will not move, loosen the<br />

gland until handle moves with a fair amount of ease.<br />

See Step 5.<br />

• If the handle moves too freely, it is an indication that<br />

the gland is too loose. The gland must be tightened<br />

or it will leak.<br />

Re-Installing the Manifold Assembly<br />

If the manifold was removed from the container, replace with the<br />

following steps:<br />

1. Apply a suitable non-hardening pipe compound to the male<br />

threads of the lower manifold body.<br />

NOTE: Do not apply compound to the female threads in the<br />

container coupling.<br />

2. Thread the manifold into the container port hand tight.<br />

3. Using an appropriate wrench applied directly to the lower<br />

body of the manifold, tighten the manifold into the container<br />

with a sufficient torque to provide a leak tight seal.<br />

Relief Valve Replacement<br />

1. Apply a small amount of a suitable non-hardening pipe<br />

compound to the male threads of the relief valves.<br />

NOTE: Do not apply compound to the female threads in the<br />

manifold port.<br />

2. Thread relief valves into manifold assembly hand tight.<br />

3. Using an appropriate wrench on the hex section of the relief<br />

valves only, screw valves in approximately 1 1 /2 additional<br />

turns. Tighten valves with a sufficient torque to provide a<br />

leak-tight seal.<br />

Placing Relief Valve Manifold Back into Service<br />

Turn the knob of each bleeder valve counterclockwise until it is<br />

fully back-seated. See Figure 2. During normal operation, the<br />

bleeder valve should be left in this position.<br />

During normal operation, with the relief valves properly in place,<br />

the positioning handle should be kept at the center stop<br />

position. In this position, both relief valves are open to the<br />

container vapor space, providing extra relief capacity by<br />

permitting both valves to function simultaneously if necessary.<br />

Check the connection of the replaced relief valves and manifold<br />

using a high quality leak detection solution. If bubbles appear,<br />

there is a leak. The connection must be leak tight.<br />

cause bodily injury.<br />

Removing Relief Valves from Manifold Assembly<br />

1. EVACUATE ALL GAS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE ANY<br />

DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR.<br />

2. Turn the positioning handwheel so that arrow on the manifold<br />

body located directly below the handwheel is positioned<br />

midway between any two adjacent numbers on the handwheel.<br />

3. Turn the knob of each bleeder valve in a clockwise<br />

direction. This should allow any remaining vapor to bleed<br />

from the hole in bleeder valve body. After the discharge has<br />

stopped, the relief valves are ready to be removed.<br />

4. Remove the weep hole deflectors from the relief valves with<br />

an appropriate wrench. This will provide clearance and a grip<br />

for removing relief valves. See Figure 1.<br />

5. Remove safety relief valves from top of manifold assembly by<br />

turning valves counter-clockwise. Relief valves may be removed<br />

using an open end wrench, monkey wrench, pipe<br />

wrench, or chain wrench applied to the hex section of the<br />

relief valve. Save valves for reassembly.<br />

NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the<br />

positioning handwheel to facilitate removal of relief valves one<br />

and four. If this is done, carefully note position of the handwheel<br />

and replace it in exactly the same position. Position can be<br />

verified by matching the number of the closed port with the<br />

number on the handwheel and the arrow stamped on the<br />

manifold body pad directly below the handwheel.<br />

Seat Ring Replacement (See Figures 4 and 8)<br />

Disassembly:<br />

1. Remove the compression ring (outer ring) by turning<br />

counter-clockwise. Ring should be loose after 2 turns.<br />

2. Remove the seat ring (inner ring) by turning counterclockwise<br />

until the complete assembly can be lifted out of<br />

the manifold body. Discard seat ring. Save compression ring<br />

for reassembly.<br />

3. Thoroughly clean the inside threads of relief valve port with<br />

a wire brush. Be sure all sealing surfaces are clean and free<br />

of scale. Use care not to damage threads.<br />

Reassembly:<br />

1. Deburr the slots in the new seat ring assembly and new<br />

compression ring.<br />

2. Screw the seat ring assembly into the compression ring until<br />

it is flush at top.<br />

3. Apply a light grease to the seat ring body threads.<br />

4. With the shut-off disc under the relief valve port, insert seat<br />

ring and compression ring assembly into the port and screw<br />

in by hand as far as possible.<br />

5. Use a wrench to adjust the depth of the seat ring. The seat<br />

ring should be positioned so that when the shut-off disc is<br />

moved with the handwheel, the shut-off disc remains in<br />

contact with the seat ring for approximately 1 /8" of travel.<br />

6. Turn the handwheel and approach the relief valve port from<br />

both sides with the shut-off disc. Make certain that the shutoff<br />

disc does not hit the seat ring from the side before<br />

seating. Make adjustments if necessary.<br />

7. While holding the seat ring assembly in place with a wrench,<br />

tighten the compression ring.<br />

Bleeder Valve Assembly Replacement<br />

Disassembly:<br />

1. Using a 1" hex wrench, turn the bleeder valve body counterclockwise.<br />

Remove and discard assembly.<br />

2. Visually inspect the port in the manifold body. Remove any<br />

debris or scale using care not to damage threads.<br />

Reassembly:<br />

1. Open new bleeder valve assembly to a fully back-seated<br />

position by turning bleeder valve knob counter-clockwise.<br />

See Figure 5.<br />

PAGE 3<br />

2. Apply a light grease to the male threads on the bleeder valve<br />

body.<br />

3. Thread the bleeder Valve body clockwise into the manifold<br />

assembly. Tighten using a 1" wrench on bleeder valve body.<br />

Re-Installing the Manifold Assembly<br />

If the manifold was removed from the container, replace with the<br />

following steps.<br />

1. Install a new manifold gasket onto either manhole cover or<br />

neck flange. See Figure 2.<br />

2. Mount the manifold so that the handwheel is located in a<br />

position that permits the greatest ease of reading and<br />

operation.<br />

3. Tighten the stud nuts gradually in a sequence of alternate<br />

and opposite rotation (1,5,3,7,2,6,4,8). See Figure 7.<br />

Relief Valve Replacement<br />

1. Apply a suitable non-hardening pipe compound to the male<br />

threads of the relief valves.<br />

NOTE: Do not apply compound to the female thread in the<br />

manifold port.<br />

2. Install relief valves into manifold assembly hand tight.<br />

3. Using a wrench on the hex section of the relief valves only,<br />

screw valves in approximately 1 1 /2 turns. Tighten valves with<br />

a sufficient torque to provide a leak-tight seal.<br />

NOTE: Make sure one of three weep hole deflector openings<br />

in relief valve faces outward.<br />

If this is not the opening previously used, remove plug from<br />

outward tapped opening and install in vacant opening of relief<br />

valve using a pipe compound on male threads of plug.<br />

4. Apply pipe compound to the male threads of the weep hole<br />

deflector and install into outermost tapped opening of the<br />

relief valve. The deflector must be installed so that the large<br />

angle bore points up.<br />

NOTE: Be sure the remaining two openings are plugged.<br />

Placing Relief Valve Manifold Back into Service<br />

Turn the knob of each bleeder valve counterclockwise until it is<br />

fully back-seated. See Figure 5. During normal operation, the<br />

bleeder valve should be left in this position.<br />

During normal use, with all relief valves properly in place, it is<br />

recommended that the handwheel be turned so that the shut-off<br />

disc is positioned between any two adjacent relief valves. This is<br />

accomplished by positioning the handwheel so the arrow on the<br />

manifold body points between any two numbers on the<br />

handwheel. This will provide extra relief capacity so that all of the<br />

relief valves can function if necessary.<br />

After the container is pressurized, check the seal of the flange<br />

makeup by applying a high quality leak detection solution. If<br />

bubbles appear, tighten the bolts until the flange seals. If this<br />

does not work, the flanged surface needs to be checked.<br />

Check the connection of the replaced relief valves and manifold.<br />

If bubbles appear, there is a leak. The connection must be leak<br />

tight.<br />

WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance<br />

must be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

<strong>Repair</strong> kit 19104-80 is designed to repair the ECII ® 19104-1AB<br />

MultiBonnet ® ONLY. The most visible features of this<br />

MultiBonnet ® include: 1) a circular nameplate identifying the<br />

assembly as a MultiBonnet ® –– located between the body of<br />

the valve and the lower hex of the bonnet, 2) double wrenching<br />

flats and 3) a non-rising stem. Be sure the bonnet to be repaired<br />

has these features. Attempting to repair a standard style<br />

bonnet with this kit would be hazardous and could result in<br />

personal injury and property damage.<br />

There are two ways to repair the ECII MultiBonnet ® :<br />

1. Valve closed -- valve should be fully closed if it is installed<br />

on tank or cylinder that is pressurized but not connected to<br />

an operating LP-Gas system.<br />

2. Valve open -- valve should be fully open and back seated if<br />

it is installed on a tank or cylinder that is pressurized and<br />

connected to an operating LP-Gas system.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc.<br />

instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

which could result in bodily injury and property damage. Any such use or installation<br />

of parts must ONLY be done by experienced and trained personnel using<br />

accepted governmental and industrial safety procedures.<br />

Most Engineered Controls International, Inc. products are listed with Underwriters<br />

Laboratories as manufactured. If repaired, the continued validity of the UL listing is<br />

contingent upon proper inspection to determine what needs repairing, proper repair<br />

using Engineered Controls International, Inc. parts and procedures, and proper testing<br />

for leakage and performance following repairs and installation.<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for performance<br />

aging of components made of materials such as metal and rubber.<br />

As a general recommendation, regulators should be replaced in 15<br />

years or less.<br />

The environment and conditions of use will determine the safe<br />

service life of these products. Periodic inspection and maintenance<br />

are essential.<br />

Because ECII ® products have a long and proven record of quality<br />

and service, dealers may forget the hazards that can occur<br />

because a regulator is used beyond its safe service life. The life of<br />

a regulator is determined by the environment in which it “lives”. The<br />

dealer knows better than anyone what this environment is.<br />

There is a developing trend in state legislation and in proposed<br />

national legislation to make the owners of products responsible for<br />

replacing products before they reach the end of their safe useful<br />

life. Dealers should be aware of legislation which could affect them.<br />

Foreword<br />

The 1580M Series Regulators are designed to reduce pressure to<br />

between 3 and 125 PSIG. They are accurate and dependable over<br />

a wide range of operating conditions, and come in a variety of sizes,<br />

capacities and designs to suit your needs. Precision built with multimillion<br />

BTU capacity, the 1580M Series is perfect for big, tough jobs<br />

such as crop drying, asphalt batch mixing, road building (tar<br />

wagons), heat treating, high volume space heating and other large<br />

industrial and commercial loads. It is ideal as a first stage<br />

regulator. The AA1580M Series is ideal for use in anhydrous<br />

ammonia applications such as blue print machines and heat treating.<br />

A large nozzle and straight-through flow provide high capacity<br />

and resistance to freeze-ups.<br />

Installation<br />

Clean dirt and foreign material from all piping and fittings. Be sure<br />

the regulator’s inlet and outlet are correctly installed in-line according<br />

to the designed flow pattern and markings on the regulator<br />

body. Thread sealants used on piping must be compatible with the<br />

system’s service. Pressure gauges must also be suitable for this<br />

service. Pressure gauges must be UL listed if 1,000 PSIG or higher.<br />

Regulators must be positioned to protect vents from the elements<br />

of ice, snow drifts, rain, dirt, bugs, paint, or other foreign material.<br />

If used indoors, LP-Gas regulators must be in accordance with<br />

NFPA #58 and local codes.<br />

These regulators are suitable for use in both vapor and liquid<br />

service. Caution must be exercised with liquid service where the<br />

application involves trapping liquid between the regulator and a<br />

shut-off valve, either upstream or downstream of the regulator. Any<br />

hose or piping that may hold trapped liquid should be protected by<br />

installing a Hydrostatic Relief Valve (such as the ECII ® 3127 Series<br />

for LP-Gas Service and SS8021 Series for NH3 Service) or their<br />

equivalent.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Operation<br />

The 3 /4" and 1" Pull-away valves are designed to provide pull-away<br />

protection for LP-Gas and NH3 transfer operations. These include<br />

transport and delivery truck loading and unloading, engine fuel container<br />

filling and miscellaneous cylinder filling operations. When fastened to<br />

the inlet end of the discharge hose, the valve is designed to prevent gas<br />

escape from both upstream and downstream lines in the event of a pullaway.<br />

An excessive tension load will cause the pull-away to separate<br />

and allow the two internal back pressure checks to close-assuming the<br />

pull-away has been properly maintained and installed as set forth in<br />

these instructions. Only a few cubic centimeters of product will escape<br />

at the instant of separation.<br />

NOTE: The A2141A6 and A2141A8 Series Pull-Away Valves should<br />

not be installed more than 6 feet above the ground.<br />

Installation<br />

1. Mount valve assembly with bracket or lanyard positioned upstream.<br />

See illustrations. Use a 1 /2" hex head machine bolt or a 5 /16" U-bolt<br />

with suitable washers and nuts, or a 1 /8" (7 x 19 strand) stainless steel<br />

flexible aircraft cable having a tensile strength of approximately 1000<br />

lbs with suitable cable clamps. Valve assembly must be able to<br />

swivel to assure a straight pull in the event of a pull-away.<br />

2. Use a short length of hose between the rigid piping and the inlet of<br />

the pull-away valve. Approximately 12 to 24 inches in hose length<br />

should provide sufficient flexibility, depending upon the installation.<br />

3. Attach the discharge hose to the downstream end of the pull-away<br />

valve assembly.<br />

4. After the installation is completed and before the system is charged<br />

with LP-Gas or NH3, a pull-away test should be conducted to assure<br />

proper operation of the pull-away valve.<br />

NOTE: It is recommended that a convenient means be provided to<br />

safely remove the pressure from the line upstream of the valve assembly,<br />

enabling reassembly of the pull-away valve after a pull-away.<br />

WARNING: Always wear protective eye wear and gloves when<br />

disconnecting or reconnecting the pull-away valve.<br />

Reconnection<br />

1. Before reconnection, safely insure that all internal pressure has<br />

been removed upstream and downstream of the pull-away valve<br />

assembly.<br />

2. Apply a light film of ECII ® #5555GP grease or a good grade of rust<br />

preventative machine oil to the male end of the coupling.<br />

3. To reconnect, simply push the male coupling section into the female<br />

coupling section until the retaining balls snap into the groove.<br />

A2141A6 and A2141A8<br />

Series Pull-Away Valves<br />

Operation and Installations<br />

4. Pressurize the system and test for leaks at connection points with<br />

a high quality leak detection solution.<br />

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that pull-away valves be maintained<br />

and safely tested periodically to confirm that they will separate properly<br />

in the event of a pull-away. Lubrication every six months is essential<br />

to the pull-away’s operation. Dry nitrogen or other inert gas is suggested<br />

as a source of pressure for pull-away tests.<br />

Underwriters Laboratories requires the male end of the coupling be<br />

lubricated at least every six months.<br />

If the pull-away valve is going to be stored for a period of time, such<br />

as in seasonal applications, it is recommended that it be sprayed with<br />

a good grade of rust preventative machine oil or covered to protect from<br />

moisture. A test should be conducted to confirm proper performance,<br />

including a simulated pull-away, prior to putting the pull-away valve back<br />

in service.<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, ASME, all applicable federal, state,<br />

provincial and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection, maintenance and calibration on a periodic basis is<br />

essential, and should be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH 3<br />

and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

Foreword<br />

The 2434A Low Pressure Test Set is designed to check for pressure<br />

loss due to leaks or line restrictions and proper adjustment of delivery<br />

pressure at appliances and regulator lock-up. This set should be used<br />

downstream of the single stage or second stage regulator, and upstream<br />

of appliance regulators and controls. The unit must be calibrated<br />

frequently with an actual water manometer to insure accurate readings.<br />

Engineered Controls International, Inc. recommends that all of the three<br />

tests outlined in this manual be performed any time a new regulator is<br />

installed or replaced, or if gas service is shut-off and service resumed.<br />

Test I: Leak Testing the Installation<br />

Step 1. Inspect all connections and appliance valves to be sure connections<br />

are wrench-tight and that all appliance valves are<br />

closed, including pilot valves.<br />

Step 2. Connect low pressure test set to the low pressure piping<br />

system just upstream of the appliance regulators and controls.<br />

Step 3. Fully open LP-Gas container valve slowly to pressurize piping<br />

system. Once the system is pressurized and stabilized, close<br />

container valve tightly.<br />

Step 4. Observe indicated pressure on the low pressure test set gauge.<br />

This reading should be approximately equivalent to the set<br />

delivery pressure of the final stage regulator, normally 11" water<br />

column. Now, slowly open one burner valve, or pilot valve, on<br />

appliance to vent off just enough gas to reduce pressure on test<br />

gauge by 1" water column, to normally 10" water column, then<br />

close the burner or pilot valve.<br />

If pressure remains unchanged on the gauge for at least 10 minutes, the<br />

system can be assumed to be leak-tight. If a drop in pressure does<br />

occur, it indicates a leak in the system.<br />

If pressure drop occurs, check joints, connections and other possible<br />

points of leakage with an approved, high quality leak detection solution.<br />

NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.<br />

Once a leak has been located and repaired, repeat 3 and 4. If there is<br />

an increase in pressure, it indicates that the LP-Gas container valve is<br />

not shut-off tightly. Shut-off valve tightly and repeat step 4.<br />

NOTE: Do not expose final stage piping to excessive heat or direct<br />

sunshine during the leak test. Pressure build-up in the line due to heat<br />

may compensate for pressure loss due to leaks. This will prevent the<br />

gauge readings from indicating system leaks.<br />

2434A Low Pressure Test<br />

Set Operation Manual<br />

Test II: Regulator Delivery Pressure<br />

Fully open the container valve, light the pilots and check the final stage<br />

regulator delivery pressure with approximately one-half the total BTU<br />

appliance load in-use. The low pressure test gauge reading should be<br />

approximately equivalent to the factory set delivery pressure of the final<br />

stage regulator, normally 11" water column at the appliance. Following<br />

this, turn on all appliances to utilize the entire BTU load. Check the<br />

pressure gauge to insure that adequate pressure is maintained at full<br />

load. If excessive pressure drop occurs, inspect the low pressure line<br />

for kinks, flats, or other restrictions. Also refer to pipe sizing charts in the<br />

“ECII Serviceman’s Manual” or “ECII Technical Guide #101” to insure<br />

correct pipe sizing. “ECII L-500 LP-Gas Catalog” will give you maximum<br />

capacity ratings for ECII regulators.<br />

Test III: Regulator Lock-up and Leakage<br />

After the leak testing and delivery pressure tests have proven satisfactory,<br />

the regulator lock-up and leakage test may be performed. The<br />

lock-up pressure of the final stage regulator should be slightly higher<br />

than, but not more than, 120% of the set delivery pressure. For example,<br />

on a delivery pressure setting of 11" water column, the maximum<br />

allowable lock-up pressure is 13.2" water column.<br />

To perform the lock-up and leakage test, follow these steps:<br />

1. With the container valve fully open, shut-off all appliance valves so<br />

there is no demand for gas. This includes shutting off all pilots.<br />

2. A slight rise in pressure will occur under these conditions-this rise<br />

should be no more than 120% of the delivery pressure. This is the<br />

lock-up pressure.<br />

NOTE: A quick rise in pressure above the allowable lock-up point could<br />

indicate undersize line piping, a worn seat disc or foreign material in<br />

the seating area. This condition must be corrected before putting<br />

the system in service.<br />

3. Continue the test for five minutes or more. If a creeping rise in<br />

pressure is noticed, the final stage regulator seat is not closing off<br />

properly. The regulator must be replaced or repaired, and the<br />

system retested, before putting the system is service.<br />

Recalibrating the Gauge<br />

The 2434A Low Pressure Test Set uses a spring loaded gauge that will<br />

need to be recalibrated on a frequent basis. This is done by comparing<br />

the gauge readings to those of an actual water manometer.<br />

To recalibrate the gauge, first remove it from the case. Next, remove the<br />

two screws in the back of the gauge case and remove the plastic gauge<br />

face cover by unscrewing it counterclockwise. The gauge mechanism<br />

can be carefully removed from the casing to provide easy access to the<br />

calibrating screw located behind the dial. Set the calibrating screw while<br />

comparing readings with the water manometer readings. Once calibrated,<br />

the gauge can be reassembled and set back into the case.<br />

NOTE: It is extremely important that recalibration be done on a frequent<br />

basis to assure accurate testing and adjustment of the regulator delivery<br />

and lock-up pressure.

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia<br />

and their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and<br />

LP-Gas must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure<br />

dispersion to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-<br />

Gas must be kept far enough from any open flame or other source<br />

of ignition to prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than<br />

air and will not disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still<br />

air.<br />

1. 3119A and 3120 Unloading Adapters are designed to provide<br />

a simple, safe means of container evacuation provided these<br />

instructions are carefully followed.<br />

NOTE: On 3120 models, it is recommended that a 3 /4" shut-off valve<br />

be installed at opening “G” – between the unloading adapter and<br />

the hose.<br />

2. The adapter makes use of the crank and lever principle to force<br />

the filler valve to the open position when it is necessary to evacuate<br />

liquid from an LP-Gas container.<br />

3. These unloading adapters are usable with the 2418, 2550, 2555,<br />

2557, 1475, 2593, 2594, 8593, 8594 and 8475 MultiValves and<br />

the 3178, 3179, 7579 and 7579P quick filler valves.<br />

4. The filler check valves of the 3178, 2418, 2550 and current 2555<br />

and 2557 (see paragraph 9 (f) for earlier production of 2555 and<br />

2557) require only 1 /4" movement to open both upper and lower<br />

check valves. Such filler valves are identified by a single V-groove<br />

cut across the hex corners of the body.<br />

5. Valves 1475, 2593, 2594, 8593, 8594, 8475, 3179, 7579 and 7579P<br />

require a movement of approximately 1 /2" to fully open both upper<br />

and lower filler check valves. Since 1 /4" movement of the upper<br />

check valve is required before the lower check valve is opened,<br />

the lower check can still close even though upper check is held<br />

open by foreign matter. Such filler valves are identified by a double<br />

V-groove cut across the hex corners of the body.<br />

6. To allow for the interchangeable use of this unloading adapter with<br />

all of the filler valves referred to above, it is designed so that when<br />

the lever is rotated counter-clockwise from the “up” to the “down”<br />

position, the crank moves plunger “D” approximately 1 /2". Lever<br />

“A” should therefore, be rotated counter-clockwise (to the left) when<br />

used with 1475, 2593, 2594, 8593, 8594, 8475, 3179, 7579 and<br />

7579P valves.<br />

7. When the lever “A” is rotated clockwise (to the right) the crank moves<br />

plunger “D” approximately 1 /4". Clockwise rotation of lever “A” from<br />

the “up” to the “down” position should therefore be used when<br />

the adapter is fitted to the 3178, 2418, 2550, 2555 and 2557 valves.<br />

8. Before attempting to use the adapter it is of vital importance that<br />

you first make sure:<br />

a. That the filler valve on a container to be evacuated is equipped<br />

with a dip pipe extending to the bottom of the container.<br />

b. That if the container is equipped with a filler valve with a<br />

supplementary back pressure check valve - the design of the<br />

combination must be such that the lower valve (back pressure<br />

check) also opens when the upper valve (filler) is pushed open.

c. Determine whether the lever ”A” is to be rotated clockwise or<br />

counter-clockwise. (See paragraphs 6 and 7 above.)<br />

d. That the unloading adapter assembly is not connected to the<br />

hose.<br />

9. After following instructions outlined in paragraph 8, the following<br />

operating instructions must be followed to operate the unloading<br />

adapter correctly and safely.<br />

a. Move lever “A” to “up” position (one-half turn from “down”<br />

position illustrated in drawing). If using 3120 model, remove<br />

cap assembly “F”.<br />

b. Place screw driver in slot “B” and turn counter-clockwise to<br />

move plunger “D” up as far as it will go without forcing.<br />

c. Place adapter on filler valve and tighten coupling nut “C”.<br />

d. Again place screw driver in slot “B” and turn clockwise slowly<br />

until plunger “D” barely contacts check in filler valve. This<br />

operation adjusts plunger to correct length.<br />

CAUTION: (1) If gas or liquid is discharged while plunger “D”<br />

is being adjusted, it indicates that plunger has<br />

been screwed in too far. If this occurs turn<br />

counter-clockwise until discharge ceases.<br />

(2) Do not move lever “A” as opening filler valve at<br />

this point will discharge liquid on your hands.<br />

e. Connect unloading hose to top of adapter or shut-off valve<br />

assembly. If using 3120 model, replace cap assembly “F”.<br />

f. After first determining direction of rotation to be used, turn lever<br />

“A” slowly toward its “down” position.<br />

WARNING: Do not force handle a full half-turn if it appears that<br />

filler valve is wide open before lever reaches a half-turn. In some<br />

makes of valves, the valve stem travel may be less than the plunger<br />

travel of the unloading adapter. In such cases, damage might<br />

be done to the filler valve if lever “A” were forced too far. In<br />

certain makes of valves, it is conceivable that the valve internal<br />

parts might be pushed into the container. However, if care is<br />

taken and lever “A” is turned just far enough to open the filler<br />

valve fully, no damage will occur. The original production of the<br />

2555 and 2557 Series MultiValves included filler valve assemblies<br />

having approximately 3 /16" check valve travel. Care must therefore<br />

be taken when using the unloading adapter with these valves.<br />

If it is found that the check valve travel is only 3 /16", the plunger<br />

“D” should be shortened 1 /16" by turning plunger “D” counterclockwise<br />

about two turns. A check valve travel of 1 /4" is provided<br />

in current production of the 2555 and 2557 Series MultiValves.<br />

g. Evacuate the container.<br />

h. Return lever “A” to the “up” position after evacuation is completed.<br />

Close shut-off valve on end of unloading hose. Open<br />

vent valve “E” on the unloading adapter to release any pressure<br />

remaining in adapter. Do not disconnect hose until vent valve<br />

“E” has ceased bleeding, thereby indicating that the filler valve<br />

is closed and has seated properly.<br />

i. When the vent valve "E" stops discharging liquid and gas, the<br />

unloading hose may be disconnected and the unloading adapter<br />

assembly removed from the filler valve.<br />

10. Care must be used in handling and storing Unloading Adapters<br />

so that they will not be damaged. They should be put in a protected<br />

place on the truck rather than stored unprotected in the tool box.<br />

11. Unloading operations should never be undertaken except by thoroughly<br />

trained and qualified operators.

Instruction Sheet 3119A-301


WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by<br />

qualified personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before<br />

installation, operation and maintenance. These instructions must<br />

be passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia<br />

and their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and<br />

LP-Gas must be released outdoors in air currents that will<br />

insure dispersion to prevent exposure to people and livestock.<br />

LP-Gas must be kept far enough from any open flame or other<br />

source of ignition to prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is<br />

heavier than air and will not disperse or evaporate rapidly<br />

if released in still air.<br />

1. The 3121 Unloading Adapter is designed to provide a simple,<br />

safe means of container evacuation provided these instructions<br />

are carefully followed.<br />

NOTE: On the 3121, it is recommended that a 3 /4" shut-off valve<br />

be installed at opening “G” – between the unloading adapter<br />

and the hose.<br />

2. This unloading adapter is usable with the 2418, 2550, 2555,<br />

2557, 1475, 2593, 2594, 8593, 8594 and 8475 MultiValves and<br />

the 3178, 3179, 7579 and 7579P quick filler valves.<br />

3. The filler check valves of the 3178, 2418, 2550 and current<br />

2555 and 2557 (see paragraph 6 (f) for earlier production of 2555<br />

and 2557) require only 1 /4" movement to open both upper and<br />

lower check valves. Such filler valves are identified by a single<br />

V-groove cut across the hex corners of the body.<br />

4. Valves 1475, 2593, 2594, 8593, 8594, 8475, 7579 and 7579P<br />

require a movement of approximately 1 /2" to fully open both<br />

upper and lower filler check valves. Since 1 /4" movement of<br />

the upper check valve is required before the lower check valve<br />

is opened, the lower check can still close even though upper<br />

3121<br />

Unloading Adapter<br />

Installation and Operation<br />

check is held open by foreign matter. Such filler valves are<br />

identified by a double V-groove cut across the hex corners<br />

of the body.<br />

5. Before attempting to use the adapter it is of vital importance<br />

that you first make sure:<br />

a. That the filler valve on a container to be evacuated is<br />

equipped with a dip pipe extending to the bottom of the<br />

container.<br />

b. That if the container is equipped with a filler valve with a<br />

supplementary back pressure check valve - the design of<br />

the combination must be such that the lower valve (back<br />

pressure check) also opens when the upper valve (filler) is<br />

pushed open. All of the combination and back pressure check<br />

valves listed above meet this requirement.<br />

c. That the unloading adapter assembly is not connected<br />

to the hose.<br />

6. After following instructions outlined in paragraph 5, the following<br />

operating instructions must be followed to operate the unloading<br />

adapter correctly and safely.<br />

a. Place handwheel in full clockwise or close position The<br />

handwheel rises out of the valve body when placed in the<br />

closed position.<br />

b. Place adapter on valve and tighten coupling nut.<br />

c. Connect unloading hose to opening G or shut-off valve<br />

assembly.<br />

d. Turn handwheel in counter clockwise or open position.<br />

e. After contact with the plunger stem has occured, continue<br />

opening valve very slowly by turning the handwheel open.<br />

Handwheel<br />

WARNING: Do not force handwheel if it appears that filler<br />

valve is wide open. In many makes of valves, the valve stem<br />

travel may be less than the plunger travel of the unloading<br />

adapter. In such cases, damage might be done to the filler<br />

valve if handwheel was forced too far. In certain makes of<br />

valves, it is conceivable that the valve internal parts might<br />

be pushed into the container. However, if care is taken and<br />

handwheel is turned just far enough to open the filler valve fully,<br />

no damage will occur. The original production of the 2555 and<br />

2557 Series MultiValves included filler valve assemblies having<br />

approximately 3 /16" check valve travel. Care must therefore be<br />

taken when using the unloading adapter with these valves. A<br />

check valve travel of 1 /4" is provided in current production of<br />

the 2555 and 2557 Series MultiValves.<br />

f. Evacuate the container.<br />

g. Return handwheel to the “up” and closed position after<br />

evacuation is completed. Close shut-off valve on end of<br />

unloading hose. Open vent valve “E” on the unloading<br />

adapter to release any pressure remaining in adapter. Do not<br />

disconnect hose until vent valve “E” has ceased bleeding,<br />

thereby indicating that the filler valve is closed and has<br />

seated properly.<br />

h. When the vent valve "E" stops discharging liquid and gas,<br />

the unloading hose may be disconnected and the unloading<br />

adapter assembly removed from the filler valve.<br />

7. Care must be used in handling and storing Unloading Adapters<br />

so that they will not be damaged. They should be put in a<br />

protected place on the truck rather than stored unprotected<br />

in the tool box.<br />

8. Unloading operations should never be undertaken except by<br />

thoroughly trained and qualified operators.<br />

Operation<br />

The 3200C Remote Cable Kit is designed for use with the 3200L<br />

Remote Operating Lever to operate internal valves from a remote<br />

location. The internal valve is opened by pulling back the remote<br />

operation lever and closed by returning the lever to its original<br />

position. A remote release is also provided to close the internal valve<br />

from a different remote location. Fuse links incorporated into cable<br />

system provide additional safety.<br />

Installation<br />

1. Install 3200L operating lever securely at desired location.<br />

2. Run cable through the 3 /8" center hole in front of the operating<br />

lever assembly. Attach cable to activating device by threading it<br />

through the provided clamping nut on the coupling and tightening.<br />

No fuse link is required on operating lever since fuse material<br />

is built into the coupling.<br />

3. Attach fuse link to operating lever of the internal valve with B-<br />

9403-17SS nut and A3217-36 bolt.<br />

NOTE: To attach fuse link on A3217, A7782, and A7783 series<br />

internal valves, it is necessary to drill a hole approximately 2 1 /4" from<br />

the original hole on the operating lever.<br />

WARNING: Drilling must be performed in an isolated area away<br />

from LP-Gas tanks or vessels, or exposure to LP-Gas and its<br />

vapors. The internal valve’s lever should be disassembled from<br />

valve at the lever crank connection--follow manufacturer’s<br />

installation and operation instructions included with the internal<br />

valve.<br />

WARNING: It is important to be sure that internal valve opens<br />

and closes properly with main operating lever before connecting<br />

cable.<br />

A3209A050 1 1 /4" Internal Valve<br />

and A3209TL Latch Assembly<br />

Installation and Operation Manual


WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance<br />

must be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

This valve must remain in the closed position except during<br />

product transfer. A line break downstream of the pump may fail to<br />

actuate the excess flow valve as the pump may limit flow. If a break<br />

occurs in the system, or the excess flow closes, immediately shut<br />

down the system.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3209050 1 1 /4" Internal Valve is designed primarily for use with<br />

propane, butane and anhydrous ammonia. It is intended for use as<br />

a main valve on small capacity pump systems. It may also be<br />

installed in the vapor return line and liquid withdrawal openings on<br />

trucks or in-line installations and in nurse tanks provided proper<br />

piping configuration is used.<br />

How The Valve Works<br />

Refer to the drawings in Figure 1. View “A” shows the valve in the closed<br />

position, held without leakage by tank pressure and the valve’s closing<br />

spring. Actuation of the operating handle alone does not open the valve,<br />

it only allows pressure to equalize between the inlet and outlet of the<br />

valve by rapid bleeding of the product downstream. This equalized<br />

pressure then allows the valve to open via the excess flow spring.<br />

The valve is opened by moving the handle to mid-point, see view “B”.<br />

This moves the actuator to the equalizing position of the valve stem in<br />

the pilot opening, allowing more product to bleed downstream than if the<br />

handle was fully open.<br />

In a few seconds, the tank and downstream pressure will be equalized,<br />

allowing the excess flow spring to push the poppet to the open position,<br />

see view “C”. The handle should then be moved to the fully opened<br />

position.<br />

If the handle is quickly moved to the fully opened position, the pilot valve<br />

allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less than during<br />

rapid bleed, view “B”. This results in a longer pressure equalizing time<br />

before the valve can open.<br />

NOTE: The poppet will not open until outlet pressure approximates<br />

tank pressure!<br />

Once the poppet is open, flow greater than the excess flow spring rating,<br />

or a sufficient surge in force of the flow, forces the poppet closed against<br />

the excess flow spring, as seen in view “D”. The pilot valve in this position<br />

is open and allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less<br />

than during rapid bleed, view “B”.<br />

When the operating handle is moved to the closed position, the valve<br />

closes and a tight, leakproof seal is re-established as seen in view “A”.<br />

Valve Installation<br />

The valve may be installed in a full or half coupling.<br />

WARNING: Do not install the valve in any piping that will restrict the<br />

valve inlet or outlet!<br />

After valve, pump and system piping are fully installed, run a thorough<br />

leak test using a high quality leak detection solution. The unit must be<br />

leak-free before being placed in service. In addition, the system must<br />

be tested to assure proper excess flow valve operation by simulating a<br />

break downstream at the furthest point being protected at the lowest<br />

operating pressure.<br />

WARNING: This test must be performed in a safe location, as<br />

testing with flammable gas is extremely hazardous. Only authorized<br />

trained personnel should perform this test.<br />

NOTE: To provide excess flow protection, the flow rating of the pump,<br />

piping, valves, fittings and hose on the inlet and outlet sides of the valve<br />

must be greater than the flow rating of the valve. Any restrictions that<br />

reduce the flow to less than the excess flow valve rating will result in the<br />

excess flow valve not operating when required.<br />

A3209TL Latch Assembly Installation<br />

The A3209TL Latch Assembly for use with the A3209A050, is a<br />

remote release mechanism employing a fuse link with a 212° F.<br />

melting point. Refer to Figure 2 when installing the latch assembly.<br />

1. Remove lever stop pin located nearest the internal valve outlet with<br />

an appropriate wrench.<br />

2. Position latch hole openings with the threaded holes in the valve and<br />

insert screws and washers as shown in Figure 2. Secure screws<br />

tightly with an appropriate wrench.<br />

3. Check operation by moving the lever to the open position and<br />

securing it with the latch. Pull latch outward to return the lever to the<br />

closed position.<br />

4. A cable should be run from the latch to a remote release handle. The<br />

cable should be taut, and may require pulleys to keep the cable from<br />

restricting interference that would prohibit proper operation. The<br />

fusible link will melt if exposed to fire or heat over 212° F.<br />

CAUTION: Stay clear of the valve lever as it moves to the closed<br />

position when unlatching.<br />

Cable Control System<br />

The cable control system employed must meet the requirements and be<br />

in accordance with the provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all<br />

applicable federal, state, provincial and local codes.<br />

Valve Operation and Precautions<br />

1. Valve must be opened before starting pump, and before opening<br />

valve on pump outlet.<br />

2. Leave pumping system “wet” to avoid drying of seals and to reduce<br />

time involved in opening valve. Drain piping only when required by<br />

codes or safe operating practices.<br />

3. When piping is dry or at a lower pressure than the tank, open valve<br />

half-way for a few seconds to allow line pressure to equalize before<br />

fully opening the valve handle. The poppet may not open immediately<br />

if the handle is placed in the open position too quickly.<br />

4. Flow surges may close the built-in excess flow valve and should be<br />

avoided. If the excess flow valve slams shut; stop the pump, close<br />

the nearest downstream valve, and move handle to the mid-point<br />

position to equalize pressure until valve reopens with a click, then<br />

restart pump and open downstream valve slowly.<br />

5. Always keep valve closed except during product transfer.<br />

6. Completely open all valves during pumping. <strong>Part</strong>ially closed valves<br />

may prevent excess flow valve from closing when required, even in<br />

a properly designed piping system.<br />

7. All personnel must be aware of remote closure locations and their<br />

operation in case of an emergency. They must also be aware of the<br />

equalizing opening through which bleeding can occur after the<br />

excess flow valve closes. If this bleed is not stopped by closing a<br />

downstream valve, a hazard may occur.<br />

Troublshooting<br />

1. Internal Valve Will Not Open<br />

Causes may be excess leakage downstream, pump engaged too<br />

quickly, excessive wear of the valve, or ice accumulation.<br />

When there is excessive volume downstream, a greater amount of<br />

time is required to equalize tank and downstream pressure.


To determine if the pilot seat is opening, install a pressure gauge<br />

downstream of valve outlet while keeping the system closed downstream<br />

of the pressure gauge. Open any hand valves between the<br />

valve and pressure gauge, and open internal valve. Pilot seat is not<br />

opening if pressure does not build up to tank pressure. Perform this<br />

test with the pump off. A broken internal part may cause the pilot seat<br />

not to open.<br />

2. Premature Valve Closure<br />

First, check to see that the operating lever is properly connected and<br />

fully opens the valve. Premature closure may also be a result of;<br />

engaging pump too quickly, sudden line surges, and under rated<br />

excess flow spring or an obstructed inlet port.<br />

3. Valve Will Not Close<br />

Usually the result of a faulty or sticking actuator. Check the actuator<br />

to see that it works freely by cycling it several times with the lever. If<br />

it sticks in the open position, repairs are required. Internal damage<br />

will also cause the valve not to close.<br />

4. Low Flow Capacity<br />

Downstream piping may be too small and/or long, the internal valve<br />

may be too small, the valve inlet may be restricted, there may be<br />

downstream restrictions or a bypass valve could be stuck in the open<br />

position. All are possible causes of low flow.<br />

Figure 1 – Valve Operation<br />

Maintenance<br />

Potential problems may be eliminated with preventative valve maintenance.<br />

Perform the following steps once a month.<br />

1. Check to see that the operating lever moves freely and smoothly.<br />

Check for leakage around the stem and sealing gland with a high<br />

quality leak detection solution. Leakage will require replacement of<br />

the sealing gland packing. A sticking lever indicates trapped foreign<br />

material or mechanism wear.<br />

2. Check both seat discs for tight closure. Close internal valve and<br />

exhaust downstream pressure. Be sure piping is warmed to an<br />

ambient temperature. Install a pressure gauge between internal<br />

valve and first downstream valve. Close the first downstream valve<br />

and observe for pressure build-up between the two closed valves<br />

with pressure gauge. If leakage occurs, replacement of both seat<br />

disc will be required.<br />

3. Inspect, clean and lubricate all operating controls. Check controls to<br />

see the they open valve fully and that they freely close the valve. Worn<br />

parts should be replaced.<br />

4. Remove valve if the tank is to be steam cleaned. Heat may damage<br />

the valve seals and seats.<br />

5. Valve is not designed for water service. After tank is hydrostatically<br />

tested, immediately remove all water and allow tank to thoroughly dry<br />

out before installing valve.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3209PA Pneumatic Actuator is designed especially for use with<br />

the A3209A Series Internal Valves. It is designed to provide a convenient<br />

means for opening and closing the valve from a remote location.<br />

Responsibility for proper installation must be met by the installer.<br />

How the Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with either air or nitrogen.<br />

The actuator’s diaphragm rod moves the valve’s operating lever to the<br />

open position when pressure is applied. Upon loss of pressure, the<br />

valve’s operation lever returns to the closed position. The A3209PA<br />

operates with a minimum pressure of 50 psig and a maximum operation<br />

pressure of 250 psig.<br />

The A3209PA pneumatic actuator is compatible with existing air interlock<br />

systems. It also provides a convenient means of operating a<br />

number of internal valves on stationary storage tanks at bulk plants from<br />

remote locations.<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Installation<br />

Refer to diagram below.<br />

1. Remove two stop pins from valve body.<br />

Note: If pneumatic cylinder and yoke assembly are already assembled<br />

to bracket, skip to step 5.<br />

2. Secure air cylinder to bracket by inserting the nose end through the<br />

hole and tightening the 5 /8" – 18 mounting nut.<br />

Internal Valves<br />

3. Thread 5 /16" hex nut onto cylinder rod.<br />

4. Secure yoke connector assembly to air cylinder rod using 5 /16" hex<br />

nut.<br />

5. Install actuator bracket on top of valve with top of bracket facing up<br />

while sliding yoke assembly onto handle and align holes of bracket<br />

with holes on top of valve.<br />

6. Insert two 1 /4"–28 UNF pan head screws in appropriate holes and<br />

tighten with a screw driver -- torque should not exceed 77 in-lbs.<br />

7. With the valve and actuator in the closed position, adjust the<br />

operating lever so it does not extend through the yoke assembly<br />

more than 1 /4".<br />

Note: To insure that the lever does not contact a coupling or fitting,<br />

it may be necessary to cut away part of the lever end that extends<br />

from the actuator.<br />

8. Connect air supply to air cylinder.<br />

9. Connect to pneumatic actuating system. A 1/4" NPT "TEE" is to be<br />

supplied by the customer for installation of the thermal fuse.<br />

Note: The pneumatic actuating system employed must meet the<br />

requirements and provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all<br />

applicable federal, state, provincial, and local standards, codes,<br />

regulations, and laws.<br />

Functional Testing<br />

Connect a 50 to 60 psig air line through a pressure regulated valve to<br />

the actuator.<br />

Bench test: Slowly and alternately apply 0 to 40 psig air pressure to<br />

the actuator two or three times while checking for binding and any<br />

interference. Make any necessary adjustment so the actuator opens<br />

freely.<br />

Installed test: Same as the bench test, except a higher air pressure<br />

may be necessary if tank pressure is present.<br />

immediately shut down the system.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3210A065 1 1 /4" Internal Valve is designed primarily for use with<br />

propane, butane and anhydrous ammonia. It is intended for use as a<br />

main valve on pump systems with small capacity such as a motor fuel<br />

dispensers. It may also be installed in the vapor return line and liquid<br />

withdrawal openings on trucks and in nurse tanks, provided the proper<br />

piping configuration is used.<br />

A pneumatic actuator, ECII ® # A3210PA, is available to provide a means<br />

of opening and closure of the valve using propane or air. The A3210PA<br />

requires only 10 PSIG inlet pressure for proper operation.<br />

How The Valve Works<br />

Refer to the drawings in Figure 1. View "A" shows the valve held closed<br />

by tank pressure and the valve's closing spring. Actuation of the<br />

operating lever alone does not open the valve, it only allows pressure to<br />

equalize between the inlet and outlet of the valve by rapid bleeding of the<br />

product downstream. This equalized pressure then allows the valve to<br />

open via the internal spring.<br />

The valve opens by moving the operating lever to the mid-point, see view<br />

"B". This position allows the actuator to put the equalizing portion of the<br />

valve stem in the pilot opening, allowing more product to bleed downstream<br />

than if the lever was fully open.<br />

In a few seconds, the tank and downstream pressure will be nearly<br />

equal. The excess flow spring will push the main poppet to the open<br />

position, see view "C", and the lever should be moved to the fully opened<br />

position.<br />

If at first, the lever is quickly moved to the fully opened position, the pilot<br />

valve allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less than<br />

during rapid bleed (view "B"). This results in a longer pressure equalizing<br />

time before the main valve can open.<br />

NOTE: Main poppet will not open until outlet pressure approximates<br />

tank pressure!<br />

Once the main poppet is open, flow greater than the excess flow spring<br />

rating, or a sufficient surge in force of the flow, forces the main poppet<br />

closed against the excess flow spring, see view "D". The pilot valve in<br />

this position is open and allows a small amount of bleed downstream,<br />

but much less than during rapid bleed (view "B"). When the operating<br />

lever is moved to the closed position, the valve closes and a tight,<br />

leakproof seal is re-established as seen in view "A".<br />

Valve Installation<br />

The A3210A065 1 1 /4" Internal Valve must be installed in a modified half<br />

coupling or the equivalent, see Figure 2. If mounted in a half coupling,<br />

the inside diameter must be machined out to 1 1 /2" diameter. If used in<br />

a reducing bushing, the inside diameter must be machined out to 1 1 /2"<br />

diameter – 3 /4" to 1" of the inside thread must be left and the remaining<br />

portion of the inside diameter must be machined to a wall thickness of<br />

1<br />

/4", see Figure 3.<br />

WARNING: Do not install the valve in a full coupling or in any piping<br />

that will restrict the valve inlet!<br />

After valve, pump and system piping are fully installed, run a thorough<br />

leak test on all joints using a high quality leak detection solution. The<br />

installation must be leak free before being placed in service. In addition,<br />

the system must be tested for excess flow valve operation by simulating<br />

a break downstream at the furthest point being protected.<br />

WARNING: This test must be performed in a safe location, as<br />

testing with flammable gas is extremely hazardous. Only authorized<br />

trained personnel should perform this test.<br />

NOTE: To provide excess flow protection, the flow rating of the<br />

pump, piping, valves, fittings and hose on the inlet and outlet<br />

sides of the valve must be greater than the flow rating of the valve.<br />

Any restrictions that reduce the flow to less than the excess flow<br />

valve rating will result in the excess flow valve not operating when<br />

required.<br />

Cable Control System<br />

The cable control system selected must operate the valve without<br />

restricting free closing of the operating lever. One suggested method<br />

employs a simple return spring to overcome cable system friction, see<br />

Figure 2.<br />

The lever housing may be rotated 360° to accommodate actuation by<br />

cable from any direction. This is done by loosening the retaining screws,<br />

rotating the housing to the desired position, and securely re-tightening<br />

the screws.<br />

NOTE: Be sure the upper face of the lever housing is snug against<br />

the body shoulder when screws are tightened.<br />

The cable control system employed must meet the requirements and<br />

provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all applicable federal, state,<br />

provincial and local codes.<br />

Valve Operation<br />

1. Valve must be opened before starting pump, and before opening<br />

valve on pump outlet.<br />

2. Leave pumping system "wet" to avoid drying of seals and to reduce<br />

time involved in opening valve. Drain piping only when required by<br />

codes or safe operating practices.<br />

3. When piping is dry or at lower pressure than the tank, open valve<br />

half-way for a few seconds to allow line pressure to equalize before<br />

fully opening the valve lever. The main poppet may not open<br />

immediately if the lever is placed in the open position too quickly.<br />

4. Flow surges may close the built-in excess flow valve and must be<br />

avoided. If the valve slams shut, stop the pump, close the nearest<br />

downstream valve, and move lever to midpoint position to equalize<br />

pressure until valve re-opens with a click; then restart pump and<br />

open downstream valve slowly.<br />

5. Always keep valve closed except during product transfer.<br />

6. Completely open all hand valves during pumping. Throttle type<br />

valves may prevent excess flow valve from closing when required.<br />

7. All personnel must be aware of remote closure locations and their<br />

operation in case of an emergency. They must also be aware of the<br />

equalizing opening through which bleeding can occur after the<br />

excess flow valve closes. If this bleed is not stopped by closing the<br />

valve, a hazard may occur.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />

1. Internal Valve Will Not Open<br />

Causes may be excess leakage downstream, pump engaged too<br />

quickly, excessive wear of valve or ice freezing of poppet.<br />

When there is excessive volume downstream, a greater amount of<br />

time is required to equalize tank and downstream pressure.<br />

To determine if the pilot seat is opening, install a pressure gauge<br />

downstream of valve outlet, open any hand valves between valve<br />

and pressure gauge, and open valve. Pilot seat is not opening if<br />

pressure does not build up to tank pressure. Perform this test with<br />

pump off. A broken internal part may cause the pilot seat not to<br />

open.<br />

2. Premature Valve Closure<br />

First, check to see that the operating lever is properly connected


and fully opens the valve. Premature closure may be a result of<br />

engaging the pump too quickly, sudden line surges, an underrated<br />

/weak excess flow spring or an obstructed inlet port.<br />

3. Valve Will Not Close<br />

Usually a result of a faulty or sticking actuator. Check actuator to<br />

see that it works freely by cycling it several times with the lever. If<br />

it sticks in the open position, repairs are required. Internal damage<br />

will also cause the valve not to close.<br />

4. Low Flow Capacity<br />

Downstream piping may be too small and /or long, internal valve<br />

may be too small, the valve inlet may be restricted, possible<br />

downstream restrictions, or a bypass valve stuck in the open<br />

position are possible causes of low flow.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Potential problems may be eliminated with preventive internal valve<br />

maintenance. Perform the following steps once a month:<br />

1. Check to see that the operating lever moves freely and smoothly.<br />

There should be no leakage around the lower stem or seal housing.<br />

Leakage requires replacement of the seal housing packing. A<br />

sticking lever indicates trapped foreign material or mechanism<br />

wear.<br />

2. Check both seat discs for tight closure. Close valve and exhaust<br />

downstream pressure. Be sure piping is warmed to an ambient<br />

temperature. Close the first downstream valve and note pressure<br />

buildup between the two closed valves with a pressure gauge. If<br />

leakage occurs, replace both seat discs.<br />

3. Inspect, clean and oil all operating controls. Check controls to see<br />

that they open valve fully, but do not over travel the valve operating<br />

lever. See that they work freely to close the valve. Worn parts should<br />

be replaced.<br />

4. Remove valve if the tank is to be steamed cleaned. Heat may<br />

damage the valve's seals.<br />

5. Valve is not designed for water service . After tank is hydrostatically<br />

tested, immediately remove all water and allow tank to thoroughly<br />

dry out before installing valve.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3210PA-R1 Pneumatic Actuator is designed specifically for<br />

use with the A3210A Series 1 1 /4" Internal Valve.<br />

The A3210PA-R1 provides a convenient means of opening and<br />

closing the internal valve from a remote location, primarily in motor<br />

fuel dispensing applications. The actuator can be installed in<br />

standard actuating systems or automated dispensing systems.<br />

How The Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with clean, dry compressed<br />

air. The actuator’s diaphragm rod pushes the valve’s<br />

operating mechanism to the open position when pressure is applied.<br />

Upon loss of pressure, the rod retracts and allows the valve’s<br />

operating mechanism to return to the closed position.<br />

The A3210PA-R1 operates with a minimum pressure of 40 psig and<br />

a maximum operating pressure of 250 psig.<br />

Manual Actuator Removal<br />

NOTE: If the manual actuator is present, it must first be removed<br />

before installation of the pneumatic actuator. Refer to<br />

Diagram 1 during removal of the manual actuator.<br />

1. Remove the three retaining bolts and save them for assembly of<br />

the pneumatic actuator.<br />

2. Remove manual actuator lever assembly from the internal valve<br />

and retain for future use.<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Installation<br />

NOTE: Refer to Diagram 2 during assembly of the pneumatic<br />

actuator to the internal valve.<br />

1. Start the three retaining bolts in the holes in the Lever Housing.<br />

2. Mount the Pneumatic Actuator to the adapter using the 5 /18-18<br />

mounting nut supplied with the Actuator.<br />

3. Mount the Adapter and Actuator Assembly to the Manual Lever<br />

NOTE: The pneumatic actuating system employed must meet<br />

the requirements and provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and<br />

all applicable federal, state provincial, and local standards,<br />

codes, regulations, and laws.<br />

5. Test the actuator for proper operation and check the system for<br />

leaks using a high-quality leak detecting solution.<br />

Typical Standard Actuating System Operation<br />

Refer to Diagram 3<br />

1. When toggle valve is in the open position, ports A and B are<br />

open and port C is blocked, allowing the pneumatic supply to<br />

reach the actuator and push the valve to the open position.<br />

2. When the toggle valve is in the closed position, port A is blocked<br />

and ports B and C are open, shutting off and exhausting the<br />

pneumatic supply to the actuator and allowing the valve to<br />

move to the closed position.<br />

Typical Automated Dispensing System Operation<br />

Refer to Diagram 4<br />

1. The explosion-proof 3-way solenoid valve is opened and closed<br />

by the meter. When the meter is actuated, by a key card for<br />

example, contacts in the meter opening valve initiate a time<br />

delay sequence that starts the pump and opens the solenoid<br />

valve. When the meter is stopped, the pump shuts off and the<br />

solenoid valve closes.<br />

2. The system opens and closes the 3-way solenoid valve automatically<br />

and the remaining operation follows steps one and<br />

two in the standard system sequence.<br />

NOTE: Plastic pneumatic line is recommended between the<br />

actuator and toggle valve to provide for some amount of<br />

thermal protection in case of a fire. However, a thermal fuse is<br />

required for adequate protection. The line should melt and<br />

exhaust the pneumatic supply to the actuator allowing the<br />

valve to go to the closed position.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3212PA Pneumatic Actuator is designed especially for use<br />

with the A3212A Series Internal Valves. It is designed to provide<br />

a convenient means for opening and closing the valve from a<br />

remote location. Responsibility for proper installation must be met<br />

by the installer.<br />

How The Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with either air or nitrogen.<br />

The actuator’s diaphragm rod moves the valve’s operating lever to the<br />

open position when pressure is applied. Upon loss of pressure, the<br />

valve’s operation lever returns to the closed position. The A3212PA<br />

operates with a minimum pressure of 40 psig and a maximum<br />

operation pressure of 100 psig.<br />

The A3212PA pneumatic actuator is compatible with existing air<br />

interlock systems. It also provides a convenient means of operating<br />

a number of internal valves on stationary storage tanks at bulk plants<br />

from remote locations.<br />

1. Place end of crank arm on pivot shaft of internal valve.<br />

2. Attach bracket to valve and secure with the four hex head<br />

bolts and washers.<br />

3. Remove clevis from actuator assembly. Attach actuator to<br />

the bracket with the two nuts supplied as indicated. Tighten<br />

nuts securely. Reassemble clevis onto actuator assembly as<br />

shown in Figure 3 below.<br />

NOTE: Before attaching actuator to valve, be sure cam is<br />

in contact with nylon wear button on bottom of stem. See<br />

Figure 2 below.<br />

4. Check for correct position of cam as shown in Figure 2.<br />

5. Align holes of crank arm and pivot shaft. Secure crank arm<br />

to shaft with a roll pin.<br />

6. Align hole of crank arm with hole in clevis. Insert pin through<br />

both as shown.<br />

Functional Testing<br />

Connect a 50 to 60 psig air line through a pressure regulated<br />

valve to the actuator.<br />

Bench test: Slowly and alternately apply 0 to 35 psig air pressure<br />

to the actuator two or three times while checking for binding and<br />

any interference. Make any necessary adjustment so the actuator<br />

opens freely.<br />

Installed test: Same as the bench test, except a higher air pressure<br />

may be necessary if tank pressure is present.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3212TL Thermal Latch is designed especially for use with the<br />

A3212A Series Internal Valves. It is designed to provide thermal<br />

protection for the internal valve installation. Responsibility for<br />

proper installation must be met by the installer.<br />

How The Thermal Latch Works<br />

When the valve’s operating lever is moved to the open position, the<br />

latch automatically holds the lever open. If exposed to fire or<br />

extreme heat, the built-in fusible element is designed to melt and<br />

return the operating lever to the closed position. It is designed to<br />

release when temperature reaches 212° F.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3212R , A3212RT, A3213A, and A3213T Series Internal Valves<br />

are designed primarily for use with propane, butane and anhydrous<br />

ammonia. They are intended for use as a main valve on pump systems.<br />

They may also be installed in the vapor return line and liquid withdrawal<br />

openings on trucks or in-line installations.<br />

How the Valve Works<br />

1 Fully Closed<br />

➠<br />

Tank<br />

Pressure<br />

Closing Spring<br />

In the fully closed position, the valve<br />

is held closed without leakage by<br />

tank pressure and the valve’s closing<br />

spring.<br />

3 Fully Open<br />

In a few seconds, the tank and downstream pressure will be<br />

equalized, allowing the excess flow spring to push the poppet to<br />

the open position. The handle should then be moved to the fully<br />

opened position.<br />

If the handle is quickly moved to the<br />

Poppet<br />

fully opened position, the pilot valve<br />

allows a small amount of bleed<br />

Flow<br />

Flow<br />

downstream, but much less than<br />

during the rapid bleed. This results<br />

in a longer pressure equalizing time<br />

Excess Flow<br />

before the valve can open.<br />

Spring<br />

NOTE: The poppet will not open<br />

until outlet pressure approximates<br />

tank pressure!<br />

➱<br />

➠<br />

➯<br />

2 Rapid Bleed<br />

Actuation of the operating handle alone does not open the valve,<br />

it only allows pressure to equalize between the inlet and outlet of the<br />

valve by rapid bleeding of the product downstream. This equalized<br />

pressure then allows the valve to open via the excess flow spring.<br />

The valve is opened by moving the<br />

Rapid Bleed<br />

handle to mid-point. This moves<br />

the actuator to the equalizing<br />

position which allows product to<br />

bleed downstream.<br />

The equalizing position allows more<br />

product to bleed downstream than<br />

if the handle was fully open.<br />

➱<br />

➯<br />

4 Excess Flow Closed<br />

Once the poppet is open, flow greater than the excess flow spring<br />

rating, or a sufficient surge in force of the flow, forces the poppet<br />

closed against the excess flow spring. The pilot valve in this position<br />

is open and allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much<br />

less than during rapid bleed.<br />

When the operating handle is<br />

Limited<br />

moved to the closed position, the<br />

Bleed<br />

valve closes and a tight, leakproof<br />

seal is re-established as seen in<br />

Step 1.<br />

Valve Installation<br />

The A3212R, A3212RT, A3213A, and A3213T Series can be installed<br />

in either half or full couplings. However, the closing rate of the excess<br />

flow feature of the valve will be affected by the couplings. See the closing<br />

flow information listed in the table below.<br />

The valves are designed with a break off section below the inlet pipe<br />

thread which is intended to shear off if the valve is struck from the side,<br />

leaving the valve seat intact.<br />

WARNING: Do not install the valve in any piping that will restrict<br />

the valve inlet or outlet!<br />

Verify that the CAM is in the correct position (see figure) before installing<br />

downstream piping.<br />

After valve, pump and system piping are fully installed, run a thorough<br />

leak test using a high quality leak detection solution. The unit must be<br />

leak-free before being placed in service. In addition, the system must be<br />

tested to assure proper excess flow valve operation by simulating a<br />

break downstream at the furthest point being protected at the lowest<br />

operating pressure.<br />

WARNING: This test must be performed in a safe location, as<br />

testing with flammable gas is extremely hazardous. Only authorized<br />

trained personnel should perform test.<br />

NOTE: To provide excess flow protection, the flow rating of the<br />

pump, piping, valves, fittings and hose on the inlet and outlet sides<br />

of the valve must be greater than the flow rating of the valve. Any<br />

restrictions that reduce the flow to less than the excess flow valve<br />

rating will result in the excess flow valve not operating when<br />

required.<br />

Cable Control System<br />

The cable control system should be installed in accordance with the<br />

provisions of NFPA 58, ANSI, DOT, and all applicable federal, state,<br />

provincial and local codes.<br />

It is suggested that an external return spring be used when utilizing a<br />

cable system in order to overcome any drag in the control linkage.<br />

Inspect the cable system for binding that could cause the valve to stick<br />

in the open position.<br />

Thermal Latches<br />

Thermal Latches are designed to automatically hold the Internal Valve’s<br />

operating lever open when the lever is moved to an open position. If<br />

exposed to fire or extreme heat, the built-in fusible element is designed<br />

to melt and return the operating lever to the closed position.<br />

Pneumatic Actuators<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Systems provide a convenient means for opening<br />

and closing the internal valve from a remote location. Actuators utilize<br />

either air or nitrogen and are compatible with existing air interlock<br />

systems. They can be used to operate several Internal Valves on<br />

stationary storage tanks and can work in conjunction with Emergency<br />

Shut-off Valves.<br />

Valve Operation and Precautions<br />

1. Valve must be opened before starting pump, and before opening<br />

valve on pump outlet.<br />

2. Leave pumping system “wet” to avoid drying of seals and to reduce<br />

time involved in opening valve. Drain piping only when required by<br />

codes or safe operating practices.<br />

3. When piping is dry or at a lower pressure than the tank, open valve<br />

half-way for a few seconds to allow line pressure to equalize before<br />

fully opening the valve handle. The poppet may not open immediately<br />

if the handle is placed in the open position too quickly.<br />

4. Flow surges may close the built-in excess flow valve and should be<br />

avoided. If the excess flow valve slams shut; stop the pump, close<br />

the nearest downstream valve, and move handle to the mid-point<br />

position to equalize pressure until valve reopens with a click, then<br />

restart pump and open downstream valve slowly.<br />

5. Always keep valve closed except during product transfer.<br />

6. Completely open all valves during pumping. <strong>Part</strong>ially closed valves<br />

may prevent excess flow valve from closing when required, even in<br />

a properly designed piping system.<br />

7. All personnel must be aware of remote closure locations and their<br />

operation in case of an emergency. They must also be aware of the<br />

equalizing opening through which bleeding can occur after the<br />

excess flow valve closes. If this bleed is not stopped by closing a<br />

downstream valve, a hazard may occur.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />

1. Internal Valve Will Not Open<br />

Causes may be excess leakage downstream, pump engaged too<br />

quickly, excessive wear of the valve, or ice accumulation.<br />

When there is excessive volume downstream, a greater amount of<br />

time is required to equalize tank and downstream pressure.<br />

To determine if the pilot seat is opening, install a pressure gauge<br />

downstream of valve outlet while keeping the system closed downstream<br />

of the pressure gauge. Open any hand valves between the<br />

valve and pressure gauge, and open internal valve. Pilot seat is not<br />

opening if pressure does not build up to tank pressure. Perform this<br />

test with the pump off. A broken internal part may cause the pilot<br />

seat not to open.<br />

2. Premature Valve Closure<br />

First, check to see that the operating lever is properly connected and<br />

fully opens the valve. Premature closure may also be a result of;<br />

engaging pump too quickly, sudden line surges, an underrated<br />

excess flow spring or an obstructed inlet port.<br />

3. Valve Will Not Close<br />

Usually, the result of a faulty or sticking actuator. Check the actuator<br />

to see that it works freely by cycling it several times with the lever.<br />

If it sticks in the open position, repairs are required. Internal damage<br />

will also cause the valve not to close.<br />

4. Low Flow Capacity<br />

Downstream piping may be too small and/or long. The internal valve<br />

may be too small. The valve inlet may be restricted. There may be<br />

downstream restrictions or a bypass valve stuck in the open<br />

position. These are all possible causes of low flow.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Potential problems may be eliminated with preventative valve maintenance.<br />

Perform the following steps once a month.<br />

1. Check to see that the operating lever moves freely and smoothly.<br />

Check for leakage around the stem and sealing gland with a high<br />

quality leak detection solution. Leakage will require replacement of<br />

the sealing gland packing. A sticking lever indicates trapped foreign<br />

material or mechanism wear.<br />

2. Check seat disc for tight closure. Close internal valve and exhaust<br />

downstream pressure. Be sure piping is warmed to an ambient<br />

temperature. Install a pressure gauge between internal valve and<br />

first downstream valve. Close the first downstream valve and<br />

observe for pressure build-up between the two closed valves with<br />

pressure gauge. If leakage occurs, replacement of seat disc will be<br />

required.<br />

3. Inspect, clean and lubricate all exterior operating controls. Check<br />

controls to see that they open valve fully and that they freely close<br />

the valve. Worn parts should be replaced.<br />

4. Remove valve if the tank is to be steam cleaned. Heat may damage<br />

the valve seals and seats.<br />

5. Valve is not designed for water service. After tank is hydrostatically<br />

tested, immediately remove all water and allow tank to thoroughly<br />

dry out before installing valve.

Foreword<br />

The A3213PA Pneumatic Actuator is designed especially for use with<br />

the A3213A Series Internal Valves. It is designed to provide a convenient<br />

means for opening and closing the valve from a remote location.<br />

Responsibility for proper installation must be met by the installer.<br />

How the Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with either air or nitrogen.<br />

The actuator’s diaphragm rod moves the valve’s operating lever to the<br />

open position when pressure is applied. Upon loss of pressure, the<br />

valve’s operation lever returns to the closed position. The A3213PA<br />

operates with a minimum pressure of 35 psig and a maximum operation<br />

pressure of 100 psig.<br />

The A3213PA pneumatic actuator is compatible with existing air interlock<br />

systems. It also provides a convenient means of operating a<br />

number of internal valves on stationary storage tanks at bulk plants from<br />

remote locations.<br />

3" Internal Valves<br />

Installation and Operation Manual


WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

This valve must remain in the closed position except during<br />

product transfer. A line break downstream of the pump may fail to<br />

actuate the excess flow valve as the pump may limit flow. If a break<br />

occurs in the system, or the excess flow closes, immediately shut<br />

down the system.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance must be performed<br />

only by qualified personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3217F Series 3" Flanged Internal Valves are designed primarily<br />

for use with propane, butane and anhydrous ammonia.<br />

The valve can be used on bobtail delivery trucks, transports and<br />

stationary storage tanks with flanged pumps or piping. It may be<br />

operated manually, by cable or with air.<br />

How The Valve Works<br />

Refer to the drawings in Figure 1. View “A” shows the valve held closed<br />

without leakage by tank pressure and the valve’s closing spring.<br />

Actuation of the operating handle alone does not open the valve, it only<br />

allows pressure to equalize between the inlet and outlet of the valve by<br />

rapid bleeding of the product downstream. This equalized pressure<br />

then allows the valve to open via the internal spring.<br />

The valve opens by moving the handle to mid-point, see view “B”. This<br />

position allows the actuator to put the equalizing portion of the valve<br />

stem in the pilot opening, allowing more product to bleed downstream<br />

than if the handle was fully open.<br />

In a few seconds, the tank and downstream pressure will be nearly<br />

equal. The excess flow spring will push the main poppet to the open<br />

position, see view “C”, the handle should then be moved to the fully<br />

opened position.<br />

If at first, the handle is quickly moved to the fully opened position, the<br />

pilot valve allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less<br />

than during rapid bleed ,view “B”. This results in a longer pressure<br />

equalizing time before the main valve can open.<br />

NOTE: The main poppet will not open until outlet pressure<br />

approximates tank pressure!<br />

Once the main poppet is open, flow greater than the excess flow rating,<br />

or a sufficient surge in flow, forces the main poppet closed against the<br />

excess flow spring, as seen in view “D”. The pilot valve in this position<br />

is open and allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less<br />

than during rapid bleed ,view “B”.<br />

When the operating handle is moved to the closed position, the valve<br />

closes and a leak-tight seal is re-established as seen in view “A”.<br />

Valve Installation<br />

A 3" 300 lb. ANSI RF flange with a modified bore of 4 5 /8" diameter and<br />

5 3 /4" RF must be installed in the tank. New studs and nuts are also<br />

recommended. Be sure flange is clean, smooth and free of imperfections<br />

before valve installation. Coat the full length of the studs with an<br />

anti-seize compound to prevent rusting and provide for easy removal<br />

of the valve for maintenance.<br />

Place gasket with larger Interior Diameter on top flange of valve body<br />

to seal against tank opening.<br />

NOTE: The screen should be removed if the valve is to be used<br />

for both filling and withdrawal service or for filling alone.<br />

Support and position valve under flange opening of tank in its installation<br />

position. Be sure that:<br />

a) the handle is in a fully operable, convenient position and free of all<br />

obstacles, and that<br />

b) the handle is oriented in the proper direction to accommodate<br />

controls.<br />

Carefully insert valve into flange opening and onto the studs. Tighten<br />

two opposite nuts and bring valve flush to flange with gasket in place<br />

in groove – see Figure 2. In sequence, start six remaining nuts and<br />

tighten all nuts securely, side-to-side and alternately.<br />

Place gasket with smaller Interior Diameter on bottom of lower flange<br />

before connecting pump or mating flange.<br />

A hydrostatic relief valve need not be installed between the A3217F<br />

and next adjacent shut-off valve as excessive line pressure is automatically<br />

relieved by the internal valve into the tank.<br />

After valve, pump and system piping are fully installed, run a thorough<br />

leak test using a high quality leak detection solution. Unit must be leakfree<br />

before being placed in service. In addition, the system must be<br />

tested for excess flow valve operation by simulating a break downstream<br />

at the furthest point being protected.<br />

WARNING: This test must be performed in a safe location, as<br />

testing with flammable gas is extremely hazardous. Only authorized<br />

trained personnel should perform this test.<br />

NOTE: To provide excess flow protection, the flow rating of the<br />

pump, piping, valves, fittings and hose on the inlet and outlet<br />

sides of the valve must be greater than the flow rating of the valve.<br />

Keep piping from the valve outlet to the pump full-size and as<br />

short as possible with a minimum number of bends. Any restrictions<br />

that reduce the flow to less than the excess flow valve rating<br />

will result in the excess flow valve not operating when required.<br />

Cable Control System<br />

The cable control system employed must meet the requirements and<br />

be in accordance with the provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all<br />

applicable federal, state, provincial and local codes.<br />

Valve Operation and Precautions<br />

1. Valve must be opened before starting pump, and before opening<br />

valve on pump outlet.<br />

2. Leave pumping system “wet” to avoid drying of seals and to reduce<br />

time involved in opening valve. Drain piping only when required by<br />

codes or safe operating practices.<br />

3. When piping is dry or at a lower pressure than the tank, open valve<br />

half-way for a few seconds to allow line pressure to equalize before<br />

fully opening the valve handle. The main poppet may not open<br />

immediately if the handle is placed in the open position too quickly.<br />

4. Flow surges may close the built-in excess flow valve and should be<br />

avoided. If the valve slams shut, immediately stop the pump, close<br />

the nearest downstream valve, and move handle to midpoint<br />

position to equalize pressure until valve reopens with a click, then<br />

restart pump and open downstream valve slowly.<br />

5. Always keep valve closed except during product transfer.<br />

6. Avoid partially opening valves during pumping. The resulting restriction<br />

may prevent excess flow valve from closing when required.<br />

7. All personnel must be aware of remote closure locations and their<br />

operation in case of an emergency.<br />

8. Never, under any circumstances, permanently wire open the operating<br />

handle of the internal valve.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />

1. Internal Valve Will Not Open<br />

Causes may be excess leakage downstream as pressure cannot<br />

equalize, pump engaged too quickly, excessive wear of valve, or ice<br />

freezing of poppet.


When there is excessive volume downstream, a greater amount of<br />

time is required to equalize tank and downstream pressure.<br />

To determine if the pilot seat is opening, install a pressure gauge<br />

downstream of the valve outlet, open any hand valves between<br />

valve and pressure gauge; then open valve. Pilot seat is not<br />

opening if pressure does not build up to tank pressure. Perform this<br />

test with pump off. A broken internal part may cause pilot seat not<br />

to open.<br />

2. Premature Valve Closure<br />

First, check to see that operating lever is properly connected and<br />

fully opens valve. Premature closure may also be a result of<br />

engaging pump too quickly, sudden line surges, an under-rated<br />

excess flow spring or an obstructed inlet port.<br />

3. Internal Valve Will Not Close<br />

Usually a result of faulty or sticking actuator. Check actuator to see<br />

that it works freely by disconnecting it from valve handle and cycling<br />

it several times, before disassembling valve. Also, operate valve<br />

handle manually. If it sticks in the open position, replace the<br />

packing and bushings. This should free the operating mechanism<br />

providing the valve has no internal damage.<br />

4. Low Flow Capacity<br />

Downstream piping may be too small and/or long, screen or strainer<br />

may be plugged, possible restriction downstream, or a bypass valve<br />

stuck in the open position are causes of low flow. Also, the bypass<br />

valve may be set too low and is prematurely opening. See Technical<br />

Guide 102 for troubleshooting procedures.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Potential problems may be eliminated with preventive maintenance on<br />

the valve. Perform the following steps once a month:<br />

1. Check to see that the operating handle moves freely and smoothly.<br />

Check shaft-bonnet nut for leakage with high quality leak detection<br />

solution. Leakage requires replacement of the bonnet packing. A<br />

sticking handle may indicate trapped foreign material or mechanism<br />

wear. Replacement of shaft seals, shaft bushings and/or<br />

stem bushings may be necessary.<br />

2. Check both seat discs for tight closure. Close valve and exhaust<br />

downstream pressure. Be sure piping is warmed to an ambient<br />

temperature. Close the first downstream valve and observe for<br />

pressure build-up between the two closed valves with a pressure<br />

gauge. If leakage occurs, replace both seat discs.<br />

3. Inspect, clean and oil all operating controls. Check controls to see<br />

that they open fully, but do not over-travel the valve operating<br />

handle and lever. See that they work freely to close the valve. Worn<br />

parts should be replaced.<br />

4. Remove valve if the tank is to be steam cleaned. Heat may damage<br />

the valve seals.<br />

5. Valve is not designed for water service. After tank is hydrostatically<br />

tested, immediately remove all water and allow tank to thoroughly<br />

dry out before installing valve.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3217FPA Pneumatic Actuator is designed for use with the<br />

A3217F Series 3" Flanged Internal Valves.<br />

The A3217FPA provides a convenient means of opening and closing the<br />

internal valve from a remote location on DOT MC331 transport and<br />

delivery trucks as well as stationary storage tanks.<br />

How the Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with either air or nitrogen.<br />

The actuator’s diaphragm rod moves the valve’s operating lever to the<br />

open position when pressure is applied. Upon loss of pressure, the<br />

valve’s operating lever returns to the closed position.<br />

The A3217FPA operates with a minimum pressure of 50 PSIG and a<br />

maximum operating pressure of 150 psig.<br />

The pneumatic actuator is compatible with existing air interlock systems.<br />

It also provides a convenient means of operating a number of<br />

internal valves on stationary tanks at bulk plants from remote locations.<br />

Installation and Operation<br />

Manual Actuator Removal<br />

NOTE: If the manual actuator is present, it must first be removed<br />

before installation of the pneumatic actuator. Refer to Diagram 1<br />

during removal of the manual actuator.<br />

1. Remove cotter pin from lever and remove lever from valve stem.<br />

Leave the nylon washer in place.<br />

2. Remove both lever stop pins from valve face.<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Installation<br />

NOTE: Lubricant compound #11550-215, or the equivalent, should be<br />

applied in a light coating when specified. Torque tolerance is ±10 in/lbs.<br />

Refer to Diagram 2 during assembly of the pneumatic actuator.<br />

1. Remove the clevis and clevis locknut from the air chamber shaft.<br />

Remove the cotter pin and pivot pin from the clevis.<br />

2. Assemble the air chamber to the bracket using the air chamber nuts<br />

and lock washers. Center the air chamber shaft in the clearance hole<br />

of the bracket. Tighten air chamber nuts to 375 in/lbs.<br />

3. Reassemble the clevis locknut and clevis to the air chamber shaft.<br />

Adjust the clevis so that the center of the pivot pin hole is 2 3 /4" from<br />

the bracket with the pivot pin holes in the horizontal plane. Lock the<br />

clevis in place with the clevis locknut using 200 in/lbs torque.<br />

4. Mount the above bracket assembly to the valve face with the<br />

bracket screws and lock washers. Be sure that the top of the<br />

bracket is even with the upper edge of the valve face and centered<br />

around the hex of the packing gland. Torque the bracket screws to<br />

60 in/lbs.<br />

5. Assemble the crank arm onto the valve stem so that the crank arm leg<br />

clears the clevis legs. Rotate the crank arm so the leg positions itself<br />

between the legs of the clevis. Align cotter pin holes and secure with<br />

the cotter pin. Spread and bend the ends of the pin back onto the hub.<br />

6. Lubricate the pivot pin shaft and assemble through the holes of<br />

the clevis legs and crank arm leg. The air chamber shaft can be<br />

displaced manually along with movement of the crank arm to<br />

effect alignment. Once the pivot pin is engaged, check to see<br />

that the crank arm leg is at approximately 35° to the vertical. If<br />

bench assembled, the cam should be horizontal, or slightly<br />

below horizontal, and the clearance between the cam and the<br />

end of the poppet should measure 3 /16"± 1 /64".<br />

Should an adjustment be necessary, follow these procedures:<br />

a) Remove the pivot pin and pivot pin washers.<br />

b) Rotate the crank arm counterclockwise until the leg clears the clevis.<br />

c) Loosen the clevis locknut and adjust the clevis appropriately, in or<br />

out. A half turn of the clevis changes the angle approximately 3 /4<br />

degree, or the cam/poppet clearance by .010".<br />

d) Reassemble the pivot pin. Check again for proper angle/clearance.<br />

Once correct, lock the clevis in place with the clevis locknut.<br />

7. Assemble the cotter pin into the pivot pin hole. Spread and turn back<br />

the cotter pin legs around the pivot pin shaft.<br />

Functional Testing<br />

Connect a 50 to 60 psig air line through a pressure regulated valve to the<br />

actuator.<br />

Bench Test:<br />

Slowly and alternately apply 0 to 35 psig air pressure to the actuator two<br />

or three times while checking for binding and any interference. Make any<br />

necessary adjustments so the actuator opens freely. Be sure that the<br />

actuator shaft bottoms out on the actuator housing at full stroke and not<br />

within the valve.<br />

Installed Test:<br />

Same as the bench test, except a higher air pressure may be necessary<br />

if tank pressure is present.<br />

A3219FA Series<br />

4" Internal Valve<br />

Installation and Operation


WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

This valve must remain in the closed position except during product<br />

transfer. A line break downstream of the pump may fail to actuate<br />

the excess flow valve as the pump may limit flow. If a break<br />

occurs in the system, or the excess flow closes, immediately shut<br />

down the system.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential. Installation<br />

and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be passed<br />

along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be<br />

kept far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3219F 4" Flanged Internal Valve is designed primarily for use with<br />

propane, butane and anhydrous ammonia. This valve can be used on<br />

DOT MC331 pressure vessels and stationary storage tanks.<br />

Use of the A3219F Remote Thermal Release is suggested to provide a<br />

remote means of mechanical closure along with thermal protection, as<br />

required by DOT MC331.<br />

How The Valve Works<br />

Refer to the drawings in Figure 1. View “A” shows the valve held closed<br />

without leakage by tank pressure and the valve’s closing spring. Actuation<br />

of the operating handle alone does not open the valve, it only<br />

allows pressure to equalize between the inlet and outlet of the valve by<br />

rapid bleeding of the product downstream. This equalized pressure then<br />

allows the valve to open via the internal spring.<br />

The valve opens by moving the handle to mid-point, see view "B". This<br />

position allows the actuator to put the equalizing portion of the valve<br />

stem in the pilot opening, allowing more product to bleed downstream<br />

than if the handle was fully open.<br />

In a few seconds, the tank and downstream pressure will be nearly<br />

equal. The excess flow spring will push the main poppet to the open<br />

position, see view "C", and then the handle should be moved to the<br />

fully open position.<br />

If at first, the handle is quickly moved to the fully opened position, the<br />

pilot valve allows a small amount of bleed downstream, but much less<br />

than during rapid bleed (view "B"). This results in a longer pressure<br />

equalizing time before the main valve can open.<br />

NOTE: The main poppet will not open until outlet pressure approximates<br />

tank pressure!<br />

Once the main poppet is open, flow greater than the excess flow spring<br />

rating, or a sufficient surge in force of flow, forces the main poppet closed<br />

against the excess flow spring, as seen in view "D".<br />

The pilot valve in this position is open and allows a small amount of bleed<br />

downstream, but much less than during rapid bleed (view "B").<br />

When the operating handle is moved to the closed position, the valve<br />

closes and a tight, leakproof seal is re-established as seen in view "A".<br />

Valve Installation<br />

A 4" 300lb. ANSI RF flange with a modified bore of 5 7 /8" diameter and<br />

7" RF must be installed in the tank. New studs are also recommended.<br />

Be sure flange is clean, smooth and free of imperfections before valve<br />

installation. Coat the full length of studs with an anti-seize compound to<br />

prevent rusting and provide for easy removal of valve for maintenance.<br />

Coat larger o-ring seal liberally with #11550-215 lubricating grease or<br />

equivalent, and place securely in groove of valve body.<br />

Support and position valve under flange opening of tank in its installation<br />

position. Be sure that:<br />

a) Handle is in fully operative, convenient position free of all obstacles,<br />

and that:<br />

b) Handle runs approximately with the width of the tank to provide for<br />

cable attachments to front and back of tank. (See Figure 2)<br />

Carefully insert valve into flange opening and onto the studs. Tighten<br />

two opposite nuts and bring valve flush to flange with O-ring in place<br />

in groove (see Figure 3). Tighten all nuts side to side and alternately.<br />

Grease smaller O-ring seal liberally with #115550-215 lubricating grease<br />

or equivalent, and place in bottom groove of valve, then install pump.<br />

After valve pump and system piping are fully installed, run through leak<br />

test using a high quality leak detection solution. Unit must be leak-free<br />

before being placed in service. In addition, the system must be tested<br />

for excess flow valve operation by simulating a break downstream at<br />

the furthest point being protected.<br />

WARNING: This test must be performed in a safe location, as testing<br />

with flammable gas is extremely hazardous. Only authorized<br />

trained personnel should perform this test.<br />

NOTE: To provide excess flow protection, the flow rating of the pump,<br />

piping, valves, fittings and hose on the inlet and outlet sides of the<br />

valve must be greater than the flow rating of the valve. Any restrictions<br />

that reduce the flow to less than the excess flow valve rating<br />

will result in the excess flow valve not operating when required.<br />

Cable Control System<br />

The cable control system employed must meet the requirements and<br />

be in accordance with the provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all<br />

applicable federal, state, provincial and local codes.<br />

Valve Operation And Precautions<br />

1. Valve must be opened before starting pump, and before opening<br />

valve on pump outlet.<br />

2. Leave pumping system "wet" to avoid drying of seals and to reduce<br />

time involved in opening valve. Drain piping only when required by<br />

codes or safe operating practices.<br />

3. When piping is dry or at lower pressure than the tank, open the valve<br />

half-way for a few seconds to allow line pressure to equalize before<br />

fully opening the valve handle. The main poppet may not open immediately<br />

if the handle is placed in the open position to quickly.<br />

4. Flow surges may close the built-in excess flow valve and must be<br />

avoided. If the valve closes shut, stop the pump, close the nearest<br />

downstream valve, and move handle to mid-point position to equalize<br />

pressure until valve re-opens with a click, then restart pump and<br />

open downstream valve slowly.<br />

5. Always keep valve closed except during product transfer.<br />

6. Completely open all valves from closing when required.<br />

7. All personnel must be aware of remote closure locations and their<br />

operation in case of an emergency.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />

I. Internal Valve Will Not Open.<br />

Causes may be excess leakage downstream, pump engaged too<br />

quickly, excessive wear of valve, or ice freezing of poppet.<br />

When there is excessive volume downstream, a greater amount of<br />

time is required to equalize tank and downstream pressure.<br />

To determine if the pilot seat is opening, install a pressure gauge<br />

downstream of valve outlet, open any hand valves between valve<br />

and pressure gauge , and open valve. Pilot seat is not opening<br />

if pressure does not build up to tank pressure. Perform this test<br />

with pump off. A broken internal part may cause pilot seat not to<br />

open.<br />

If operating handle rotates past the full open 90 degrees position,<br />

there is internal malfunctioning, and the valve must be disassembled<br />

and repaired.<br />

II. Premature Valve Closure.<br />

First, check to see that operating lever is properly connected and fully


opens valve. Premature closure may also be a result of engaging<br />

pump to quickly, sudden line surges, an under rated excess flow<br />

spring or an obstructed inlet port.<br />

III. Valve Will Not Close.<br />

Usually a result of a faulty or sticking actuator. Check actuator to<br />

see that it works freely by disconnecting it from valve handle and<br />

cycling it several times, before disassembling valve. Also, operate<br />

valve handle manually, if it sticks in the open position, replace the<br />

packing and bushings. This should free the operating mechanism<br />

providing the valve has no internal damage.<br />

IV. Low Flow Capacity.<br />

Downstream piping may be to small and/or long, screen or strainer<br />

may be plugged, possible restriction downstream, or a bypass valve<br />

stuck in the open positions are causes of low flow. Also, the bypass<br />

valve may be set too low and prematurely opening. Check for high<br />

differential pressure across the valve for malfunction. If valve is open,<br />

the differential should not exceed 5 or 6 psig.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Potential problems may be eliminated with preventive maintenance on<br />

the valve. Perform the following steps once a month:<br />

1. Check to see that the operating handle moves freely and smoothly.<br />

Check shaft-bonnet nut for leakage with high quality leak detection<br />

solution. Leakage requires replacement of the bonnet packing. A<br />

sticking handle indicates trapped foreign material or mechanism wear.<br />

Replacement of shaft seals, shaft bushings and/or stem bushings<br />

may be necessary.<br />

2. Check both seat discs for tight closure. Close valve and exhaust<br />

downstream pressure. Be sure piping is warmed to an ambient<br />

temperature. Close the first downstream valve and observe for<br />

pressure build -up between the two closed valves with a pressure<br />

gauge. If leakage occurs, replace both seat discs.<br />

3. Inspect, clean and oil all operating controls. Check controls to see<br />

that they open fully, but do not over-travel the valve operating handle<br />

and lever. See that they work freely to close the valve. Worn parts<br />

should be replaced.<br />

4. Remove valve if tank is to be steam cleaned. Heat may damage<br />

the valve's seals.<br />

5. Valve is not designed for water service. After tank is hydrostatically<br />

tested, immediately remove all water and allow tank to thoroughly<br />

dry out before installing valve.<br />

RegO A3219F600L<br />

4" Internal Valve<br />

FOREWORD:<br />

The A3219FPA Pneumatic Actuator is designed for use with the<br />

A3219F600 Series 4" Flanged Internal Valves.<br />

The A3219FPA provides a convenient means of opening and closing the<br />

internal valve from a remote location on DOT MC331 pressure vessels and<br />

stationary storage tanks.<br />

HOW THE PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR WORKS:<br />

The pneumatic actuator can be pressurized with either air or nitrogen. The<br />

actuator’s diaphragm rod moves the valve’s operating lever to the open<br />

position when pressure is applied. Upon loss of pressure, the valve’s operating<br />

lever returns to the closed position.<br />

The A3219FPA operates with a minimum pressure of 50 psig and a maximum<br />

operating pressure of 150 psig.<br />

The pneumatic actuator is compatible with existing air interlock systems.<br />

It also provides a convenient means of operating a<br />

number of internal valves on stationary storage tanks at bulk plants from<br />

remote locations.<br />

MANUAL ACTUATOR REMOVAL:<br />

NOTE: If the existing manual actuator is present, it must first be<br />

removed before installation of the pneumatic actuator. Refer to<br />

Diagram 1 during removal of the manual actuator.<br />

A. Handle Removal<br />

1. Remove cotter pin from jam pin which is located below the<br />

handle.<br />

2. Loosen jam nut and run it down so that it just overhangs the end of the<br />

jam pin.<br />

3. Vertically, tap the end of the jam pin with a hammer to loosen. Raise the<br />

jam pin as far as possible and pull the handle off of the stem.<br />

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the nut from the jam pin so that the<br />

jam pin may be raised enough in order to remove the<br />

handle.<br />

B. Release Lever and Channel Spacer Removal<br />

1. Working through the holes in the release lever with a 9/16" thin wall<br />

socket, remove the two channel screws. The release lever assembly,<br />

lever release spring, channel spacer and fuse assembly can be<br />

removed.<br />

NOTE: If the proper 9/16" thin wall socket is not available, the pivot pin,<br />

pivot pin locknut and pivot pin washer will have to be disassembled before<br />

removing the channel screws.<br />

2. Remove the collar and collar washer from the valve stem.<br />

PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR INSTALLATION:<br />

NOTE: RegO Lubricant compound #11550-215 or the equivalent should<br />

be applied in a light coating when specified. Torque tolerance is ±10<br />

in/lbs. Refer to Diagram 2 during assembly of the pneumatic actuator.<br />

1. Remove the clevis and clevis locknut from the air chamber shaft.<br />

Remove the cotter pin and pivot pin from the clevis.<br />

2. Assemble the air chamber to the bracket using the air chamber nuts<br />

and lockwashers. Center the air chamber shaft in the clearance hole of<br />

the bracket. Torque to 375 in/lbs.<br />

3. Reassemble the clevis and clevis locknut to the air chamber shaft.<br />

Adjust the clevis so that the center of the pivot pin hole is 2 7 / 8 " from the<br />

bracket with the pivot pin holes in the horizontal plane. Lock the clevis<br />

in place with the clevis locknut using 200 in/lbs. torque.<br />

4. Mount the above bracket assembly to the valve face with the bracket<br />

screws and lockwashers. Be sure that the top of the bracket is flush<br />

and even with the upper edge of the valve face and centered around<br />

the hex of the packing gland. Torque the bracket screws to 250 in/lbs.<br />

5. Assemble the collar washer and then collar onto the valve stem.<br />

6. Lubricate the jam pin and all the openings in the crank arm. Assemble<br />

the jam pin into the crank arm, small end to the top, and align so that<br />

the 5/8" diameter crank arm hole is unobstructed.<br />

7. Assemble crank arm onto the valve stem and rotate it clockwise so that<br />

the crank arm leg clears the clevis legs. Push assembly onto stem until<br />

contact is made with the collar. Rotate the crank arm counterclockwise<br />

so the leg positions itself between the legs of the clevis. Be sure holes<br />

are in alignment.<br />

8. Using the end of a pencil or the equivalent, push down on the jam pin<br />

from the top of the crank arm to engage its flat with the valve stem flat.<br />

The jam pin should drop approximately 3/8". Move or wiggle the crank<br />

arm slightly while pushing down on the jam pin to help assure proper<br />

alignment.<br />

9. Assemble the jam nut fully onto the jam screw. Assemble the jam<br />

screw into the crank arm and torque to 200 in/lbs. Turn and torque<br />

down the jam nut.<br />

10. Assemble the two pivot pin washers onto the pivot pin. Lubricate the<br />

pivot pin shaft and assemble through the holes of the clevis legs and<br />

crank arm leg. The air chamber shaft can be displaced manually along<br />

with movement of the crank arm to effect alignment. Once the pivot<br />

pin is engaged, check the top surface of the crank arm in relationship<br />

to the top edge of the valve face, or to a horizontal, as viewed from<br />

the end of the valve stem. The crank arm top surface should be at a<br />

slight angle to the left, as if rotated counterclockwise from the<br />

horizontal approximately two to three degrees. Measure the clearance<br />

between the roller and end of the poppet. It should measure 3/32" ±<br />

1/64".<br />

Should an adjustment be necessary, follow these procedures:<br />

a) Remove the pivot pin and pivot pin washers.<br />

b) Rotate the crank arm counterclockwise until the leg clears the clevis.<br />

c) Loosen the clevis locknut and adjust the clevis appropriately, in or out.<br />

A half turn of the clevis changes the angle approximately one degree,<br />

or the roller/poppet clearance by 1/64".<br />

d) Reassemble the pivot pin and pivot pin washers. Check again for<br />

proper angle/clearance. Once correct, lock the clevis in place with the<br />

clevis locknut.<br />

11. Assemble the cotter pin into the pivot pin hole. Spread and turn back<br />

the cotter pin legs around the pivot pin shaft.<br />

FUNCTIONAL TESTING:<br />

Connect a 50-60 psig air line through a pressure regulated valve to the<br />

actuator.<br />

Bench Test<br />

Slowly and alternately apply 0 to 35 psig air pressure to the actuator two<br />

or three times while checking for binding and any interference. Make any<br />

necessary adjustments so the actuator operates freely.<br />

Installed Test<br />

Same as the bench test, except a higher air pressure may be necessary<br />

if tank pressure is present.<br />

WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Foreword<br />

The A3219RT is designed especially for use with Internal Valves installed<br />

in DOT MC331 pressure vessels. The A3219RT provides a remote<br />

means of mechanical closure along with thermal protection by DOT<br />

MC331. Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.<br />

DOT MC331 for emergency discharge control states:<br />

"On a tank over 3,500 gallons water capacity, each internal shut-off<br />

valve must be provided with remote means of automatic closure,<br />

both mechanical and thermal, that are installed at the ends of the<br />

tank in at least two diagonally opposite locations."<br />

For some installations, the thermal release may be connected to all<br />

internal valves of the vessel to allow them all to close at one time.<br />

How It Works<br />

The spring loaded thermal release is connected by cable to the internal<br />

A3219RT<br />

Remote Thermal Release<br />

Installation and Operation Manual<br />

valve(s) on the vessel. In the event of extreme heat (over 212 ° F),<br />

the fuse link will melt, causing the spring to contract and pull the cable.<br />

When properly installed and unobstructed, the cable will trip the internal<br />

valve release lever(s) allowing the connected handle(s) to move to the<br />

closed position.<br />

In addition, merely yanking the cable at any point in its exposed length<br />

can trip the release level for remote mechanical closure.<br />

<strong>Part</strong>s Included in A3219RT<br />

1 — "S" Hook<br />

1 — 8" Chain<br />

2 — Pins<br />

<strong>Part</strong>s Not Included<br />

• 1 /8" 7 by 7 Stainless steel aircraft cable<br />

• Thimbles and heavy duty cable clamps<br />

• 1" Diameter support rings<br />

• Mounting bolts, washers, and nuts<br />

• Return springs, if required<br />

Assembly and Installation<br />

1. Mount brackets in convenient position to vessels' fenders, clips,<br />

braces, etc.... DO NOT MOUNT TO TANK SHELL OR HEAD. Mount<br />

with open side facing down and shorter edge facing out. Leave 1"<br />

space between bracket and wall to allow for painting and to prevent<br />

rust and corrosion due to build-up of foreign material. Suggest use<br />

of four 7 /16" bolts with spacers.<br />

NOTE: Mount at least two remote thermal releases in diagonally<br />

opposite locations in accordance with DOT MC331, see Diagram 1.<br />

2. Place pins in bracket so grooves set in the bracket holes and keep<br />

pins in place.<br />

3. Assemble on end of spring to center groove of pin furthest from<br />

center of vessel, see Diagrams 2 & 3.<br />

4. Engage one end of 8" connecting chain, then fuse link to the other<br />

end of spring. Assemble "S" hook to fuse link, see Diagram 2.<br />

5. Pull "S" hook to extend spring and engage "S" hook onto center<br />

grove of second pin, see Diagram 2.<br />

NOTE: The fuse link should be visible in round window of bracket once<br />

assembled, see Diagram 4.<br />

6. Attach stainless steel cable to other end of connecting chain<br />

using thimbles and two heavy duty cable clamps. Attach other<br />

end of cable to internal valve(s) in the same manner, see<br />

Diagram 2 & 3.<br />

NOTE: Be sure cable has some slack, but not excessive. When the<br />

fuse link melts and the spring contracts, the cable must release the<br />

valve handle(s) and allow the valve(s) to close. A supplemental<br />

return spring may be required if heavy cable with excessive friction<br />

is used.<br />

2. Position the adapter so that the yoke arm is behind the<br />

wrenching section of the 7141M-check connector.<br />

3. Move the operating handle to the down position. The quick<br />

disconnect yoke should move into the 7141M check connector<br />

smoothly. If done properly, this connection should not leak.*<br />

4. Open the service valve on the cylinder. Gas will now pass into<br />

the cylinder.<br />

5. Once the filling operation is complete, close the service valve on<br />

the cylinder.<br />

6. Move the operating handle back to the up position and<br />

disconnect the adapter from the check connector.<br />

NOTE: There may be a small amount of gas released at the time<br />

the adapter is disconnected from the check connector.<br />

7. Inspect the check connector for leaks and verify that all gaskets<br />

and o-rings are intact before placing the cylinder back into<br />

service.<br />

*This adapter is ideally suited to fit the 7141M-check connector.<br />

The use of this adapter with other check connectors may result in<br />

Operation and Installation<br />

Operation<br />

With the Quick Acting Valve open:<br />

1. Move the lever arm approximately 90° from the body of the Fill<br />

Adapter.<br />

2. Place the tailpiece into the female POL opening on the cylinder<br />

valve. The clamp should be placed on the upper body of the<br />

cylinder valve -- just above the relief section.<br />

3. Return the lever arm against the body of the Fill Adapter.<br />

4. Open service valve on the cylinder. The gas will now pass into<br />

the cylinder.<br />

5. Once the filling operation is complete, close the service valve on<br />

the cylinder.<br />

6. Move the lever arm approximately 90° away from the Fill Adapter<br />

body. This moves the clamp away from the upper body and<br />

places the tailpiece back into the closed position.<br />

Note: There will be a slight pop as the tailpiece moves away from<br />

the female POL and releases the trapped gas between the seat and<br />

service valve. Caution: If gas continues to discharge, close the<br />

quick acting valve immediately. Remove the Fill Adapter from<br />

service and repair.<br />

WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

Operating Instructions<br />

These instructions must be included with other tank operating<br />

instructions.<br />

Chek-Lok Excess Flow Valves<br />

ECII ® Chek-Lok excess flow valves are designed to provide a convenient<br />

means of withdrawing liquid from stationary tanks prior to moving the<br />

tank. These valves are not intended for permanent liquid withdrawal<br />

installations. They allow for compliance with NFPA Pamphlet 58 standards<br />

which state that every container with more than 125 gallons water<br />

capacity built after July 1, 1961, has a connection for liquid evacuation,<br />

at least 3 /4" NPT size, and that every container designed for stationary<br />

use contains no more propane than 5% of their water capacity during<br />

transportation.<br />

Chek-Lok Adapters<br />

It is recommended that these brass adapters (7572C-14A and<br />

7572C-15A) should be connected to ECII ® Chek-Lok excess flow<br />

valves to open the check mechanism properly. A built-in nylon<br />

gasket provides a gas-tight seal.<br />

CAUTION: Wear approved protective gloves and eye protection<br />

when working with Chek-Loks. Do not vent LP-Gas near possible<br />

sources of ignition.<br />

Use an ECII ® 7550P angle valve with an ECII ® adapter 7572C-<br />

14A ( 3 /4" NPT female connection) or 7572C-15A ( 3 /4" NPT male<br />

connection). Use an ECII ® 7550P without an adapter in an<br />

emergency only.<br />

7572FC & 7580FC<br />

Chek-Lok ®<br />

Excess Flow Valves<br />

To Put Chek-Lok In Service<br />

1. Use an ECII ® 7550P angle valve or assemble a suitable capacity shutoff<br />

valve such as an ECII ® A7505AP, A7506AP or 7705P to ECII ®<br />

adapters (see below).<br />

2. Loosen 8594-3A plug to vent accumulated LP-Gas from Chek-Lok.<br />

If venting does not stop, retighten plug and use other approved<br />

means to withdraw liquid.<br />

NOTE: Use a suitable size wrench to remove cap and adapter so as<br />

to not remove Chek-Lok from tank at the same time.<br />

3. Close shut-off valve to permit excess flow valve to open.<br />

4. If for some reason the Chek-Lok does not open after following this<br />

procedure, then it is a simple matter to equalize pressures by<br />

introducing vapor pressure from the vapor return valve on top of the<br />

tank to the downstream side of the Chek-Lok or by pumping liquid<br />

back through the Chek-Lok.<br />

To Re-Lock Chek-Lok<br />

1. Tank pressure must be in excess of 35 PSIG.<br />

2. Close shut-off valve and disconnect hose or piping.<br />

3. Open shut-off valve fully. Liquid discharging to atmosphere should<br />

cause the excess flow valve to close, provided tank pressure is 35<br />

PSIG or more. If, for any reason, the excess flow valve does not<br />

close, the shut-off valve must be closed immediately and must not<br />

be removed until the system can be evacuated and the unit repaired.<br />

4. After the excess flow valve closes, remove ECII ® adapter or pipe<br />

nipple to which shut-off valve is attached.<br />

5. Clean face of Chek-Lok and install 8594-3A plug with 8594-1A<br />

gasket.<br />

IMPORTANT: Use only 8594-3A plug. Do not use standard pipe plug.<br />

Chek-Lok Mounting<br />

ECII ® Chek-Lok valves may be bottom mounted or top mounted with<br />

a dip tube. For bottom mounting, it is preferable to position the coupling<br />

in the shell or head, slightly off bottom, to avoid accumulation of sludge,<br />

etc..., around the check valve which could affect the proper operation<br />

of the excess flow valve.<br />

Chek-Lok ® Application<br />

Chek-Lok Valves are designed to provide a convenient means of<br />

withdrawing liquid from stationary containers prior to moving the<br />

container.<br />

NFPA Pamphlet 58 standards require: 1) containers with 125 gallons<br />

water capacity or more have a connection for liquid evacuation which<br />

is at least 3 /4" NPT, and 2) containers designed for stationary use, to<br />

have no more propane than 5% of their water capacity in liquid form<br />

during transportation. These rules apply to containers manufactured<br />

after July 1, 1961.<br />

These Chek-Lok Valves may also be used on permanent installations<br />

provided the excess flow valve is sized properly for the system and<br />

piping. Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to install an in-line<br />

excess flow valve to protect the downstream piping.<br />

7590U & 7591U Chek-Lok ®<br />

Excess Flow Valves<br />

Chek-Lok ® Mounting<br />

ECII ® Chek-Lok Valves may be bottom mounted or top mounted with<br />

a dip tube. For bottom mounting, it is preferable to position the coupling<br />

in the shell or head, slightly off bottom, to avoid accumulation of sludge,<br />

etc..., around the check valve which could affect the proper operation<br />

of the excess flow valve.<br />

Proper Use of Chek-Lok ®<br />

Chek-Lok Adapters – You must use an ECII ® 7590U-10 Adapter<br />

to connect to an ECII ® 7590U or 7591U Chek-Lok. This insures<br />

a proper connection to open the check mechanism. A built-in<br />

nylon gasket provides a gas tight seal.<br />

Shut-Off Valves – The Chek-Lok is designed to be used with<br />

an ECII ® 7550P angle valve or an equivalent capacity shut-off<br />

valve.<br />

Instructions to Open Chek-Lok ®<br />

NOTE: Use a suitable wrench when removing the cap and adapter from<br />

the Chek-Lok. Do not allow the Chek-Lok to un-thread from the tank<br />

during removal. When necessary, use a second wrench to secure the<br />

Chek-Lok in position.<br />

1. Loosen the 7590U-5 cap to vent any accumulated LP-Gas from the<br />

Chek-Lok. After venting stops, remove the cap.<br />

If venting does not stop, retighten the cap and use other approved<br />

means to withdraw liquid from the container.<br />

2. Before beginning withdrawal, securely connect an ECII ® 7550P<br />

angle valve or suitable shut-off valve to the 7590U-10 adapter.<br />

3. Fully open the shut-off valve – the valve’s handwheel must be fully<br />

opened before connecting adapter to tank.<br />

4. Completely thread the adapter and shut-off valve assembly onto<br />

the Chek-Lok by turning adapter’s coupling nut clockwise until it<br />

is tight.<br />

Immediately close the shut-off valve. Listen for an audible click to<br />

signal that the Chek-Lok has opened and is actuated for liquid<br />

withdrawal.<br />

5. Check the coupling nut and adapter assembly for leaks using a<br />

suitable leak detection solution.<br />

6. If the Chek-Lok fails to open after following this procedure, the<br />

pressure downstream of the shut-off valve should be increased to<br />

equalize pressure in the Chek-Lok.<br />

It is simple to equalize pressures using vapor from either the vapor<br />

return valve or service valve, or from a hose end valve connected<br />

to the delivery truck.<br />

Instructions to Close Chek-Lok ®<br />

1. Tank pressure must be in excess of 35 PSIG.<br />

2. Close shut-off valve and disconnect the hose or piping.<br />

3. Open shut-off valve fully. Liquid discharging to the atmosphere<br />

should cause the excess flow feature of the Chek-Lok to close,<br />

provided tank pressure is 35 PSIG or more. If, for any reason, the<br />

excess flow valve does not close, the shut-off valve must be closed<br />

immediately and must not be removed until the system can be<br />

evacuated and the unit repaired.<br />

4. After the excess flow valve closes, remove the Adapter and<br />

Shut-Off Valve Assembly.<br />

5. Clean face of Chek-Lok and install the 7590U-5 Cap with a<br />

8594-1A Gasket.<br />

IMPORTANT: Only use the 7590U-5 Cap. Do not use a standard<br />

pipe cap.<br />

of ignition.<br />

7590U-20 Application<br />

The 7590U-20 Liquid Evacuation Adapter is for use with RegO ® 7590U and<br />

7591U Chek-Lok ® Actuated Liquid Withdrawal Excess Flow Valves. It is<br />

designed to provide a simple means of evacuating a container equipped<br />

with a RegO ® 7590U and 7591U Chek-Lok ® Valve. The Adapter’s operating<br />

handle opens and closes the equalizing stem in the Chek-Lok ® Valve.<br />

The 7590U-20 Adapter eliminates gas flow through the Chek-Lok ® Valve<br />

during installation or removal of the adapter. This Adapter allows for the<br />

proper connection and opening of the check mechanism.<br />

7590U-20 Features<br />

• Built in nylon gasket provides a gas tight seal.<br />

• Installed without depressing the equalizing stem of the<br />

Chek-Lok ® .<br />

• Eliminates gas flow through Chek-Lok ® Valve during installation or<br />

removal of the Adapter.<br />

• Eliminates need to slug excess flow feature of Chek-Lok ® when removing<br />

the Adapter.<br />

• Built in bleeder valve allows controlled discharge of<br />

liquid before removing the Adapter.<br />

Operation Instructions for the 7590U-20<br />

NOTE: Use of an appropriate 3 /4" shut-off valve with<br />

the 7590U-20 Adapter is recommended. The shut-off<br />

valve should be installed between the outlet of the<br />

Adapter and the unloading hose.<br />

Unloading operations should be performed only by<br />

thoroughly trained and qualified personnel.<br />

Opening 7590U or 7591U Chek-Lok ® with the<br />

7590U-20 Adapter<br />

NOTE: Use a suitable wrench when removing the cap<br />

and Adapter from the Chek-Lok ® . Do not allow the<br />

Chek-Lok ® to un-thread from the tank during removal.<br />

When necessary, use a second wrench to secure the<br />

Chek-Lok ® in position.<br />

1. Loosen the 7590U-5 cap to vent any accumulated<br />

LP-Gas from the Chek-Lok ® . After venting stops,<br />

remove the cap.<br />

If venting does not stop, retighten the cap and use<br />

other approved means to withdraw liquid from the<br />

container.<br />

2. Move the lever of the 7590U-20 Adapter to the<br />

UP & CLOSED position.<br />

CAUTION: DO NOT move lever until instructed. Turning lever will result in<br />

the discharge of liquid propane.<br />

4. Connect an unloading hose to the outlet of the Adapter or to the Adapter<br />

and shut-off valve assembly installed onto Chek-Lok ® Valve.<br />

5. Close the shut-off valve at the tank end of unloading hose. If a shut-off<br />

valve is connected to the outlet of the Adapter, also close this valve.<br />

6. Turn lever to DOWN & OPEN position. This allows flow through Adapter.<br />

WARNING: If the lever does not completely reach the full DOWN & OPEN<br />

position, the equalizing stem may have already been fully opened. Do<br />

not force the lever down further. Forcing the lever will damage the<br />

equalizing stem and seat assembly. This could prevent proper contact<br />

between the seat assembly and the seat when closing the Adapter –<br />

resulting in leaks and the free flow of liquid or vapor through the Adapter.<br />

7. Equalize pressure in the Adapter and Chek-Lok ® . This allows the excess<br />

flow check mechanism in the Chek-Lok ® Valve to open – necessary for<br />

evacuation.<br />

• To equalize pressure when a 3 /4" shut-off valve is connected to the<br />

Outlet of Adapter:<br />

Be sure shut-off valves at adapter outlet and tank are closed. It<br />

should take approximately 20 to 30 seconds to equalize pressure.<br />

After pressure is equalized, slowly open the 3 /4" shut-off valve at the<br />

adapter outlet to pressurize the unloading hose.<br />

• To equalize pressure when a 3 /4" shut-off valve is not connected to the<br />

Outlet of Adapter:<br />

Be sure the shut-off valve at the tank is closed. It may take several<br />

minutes to equalize pressure between the Chek-Lok ® and the<br />

unloading hose.<br />

3. Open the vent valve on the Adapter to release any remaining liquid or<br />

vapor between the Chek-Lok ® and the end of the unloading hose. When<br />

the discharge from the vent valve stops, it indicates the Chek-Lok ® has<br />

properly seated and is completely closed. Do not disconnect the hose<br />

from the Adapter until discharge stops.<br />

NOTE: If, for any reason, the discharge does not stop, the shut-off valve<br />

should be left closed. The Adapter, unloading hose and shut-off valve<br />

must not be removed until the system can be evacuated and the unit<br />

repaired.<br />

4. Use care when handling and storing the 7590U-20 Adapter to ensure<br />

it is not damaged. Store Adapter in a protected place. Do not store<br />

Adapter unprotected in a tool box.<br />

Foreword<br />

The 7605B Emergency Shut-Off Valve is a rugged, durable operating<br />

valve for installation in liquid lines. It is UL listed and complies with<br />

provisions of NFPA Pamphlet 58. Because of its full flow capacity (450<br />

GPM at 10 PSIG differential pressure), it will not hamper loading or<br />

unloading operations.<br />

7605B 2" Emergency<br />

Shut-Off Valve<br />

Installation and Operation<br />

Typical Installation – Figure 1<br />

The 7605B is a "swing chek" design which uses spring force PLUS<br />

differential pressure to assure fast, positive valve closure. An arrow is<br />

cast into the top of the valve to indicate flow direction. The "swing chek"<br />

closes with the flow. The arrow must point in the direction of flow when<br />

the valve is installed (usually to the hose connection).<br />

The valve must be installed horizontally on the plant side of the bulkhead<br />

in the fixed piping of the transfer system within 20 feet (of lineal pipe)<br />

from the nearest end of the hose or swivel type piping to which the hose<br />

or swivel type piping is connected. If the valve is installed more than<br />

5 feet from this hose end connection, a supplemental, temperaturesensitive<br />

closing device (7606RT) must be installed within 5 feet of the<br />

hose end connection.<br />

Testing Operation – Figure 2<br />

1. Raise operating lever to open valve. The latch will engage in this<br />

position.<br />

2. Pull upper latch release to the left to close valve.<br />

3. Reopen valve, push the lower latch release to the right to close valve.<br />

4. Check Installation: (a) close hose end valve; (b) open ESV; (c) charge<br />

system with LP-Gas; and (d) check all connections for leakage.<br />

Important: The ESV is a full flow "swing chek" type valve. It will open<br />

with nominal manual effort if LP-Gas pressure is on both sides of the<br />

check. If the ESV is closed with LP-Gas pressure behind the check only,<br />

the opening effort is greater and the following procedure must be used:<br />

Raise operating lever slightly. (A considerable pull will be<br />

required at high differential pressure). This opens the equalizing<br />

valve built into the valve check; wait until the LP-Gas pressure<br />

has equalized across the valve seat and the ESV will open with<br />

nominal manual effort.<br />

Purpose<br />

Provides continuous operation of the emergency shut-off valve<br />

control system in spite of small leaks in tubing joints, cylinders,<br />

etc. A small (#80 drill) orifice is provided to compensate for such<br />

leaks — keeping the system charged and allowing the emergency<br />

shut-off valve(s) to remained latched open during operation.<br />

Opening the emergency valve(s) will exhaust the pressure in the<br />

control system, allowing the cylinder to release the emergency<br />

shut-off valve latch.<br />

Shut-off the control gas supply whenever a shut down occurs or<br />

the ESV system is not in operation. This will conserve control gas<br />

supply.<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

# 54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

greater distances. Note: Do not attempt to connect in series two<br />

or more remote devices because the fixed stroke lengths will be<br />

absorbed by the take up inherent in the system. Do not attempt<br />

to connect more than one ESV to the remote device.<br />

NOTE: The remote unit should be mounted in a vertical position,<br />

as shown in Figure 1.<br />

A 1" NPT threaded bottom connection is provided for mounting. A 1"<br />

NPT floor flange with a riser pipe will provide a pedestal for attachment,<br />

or a 1" pipe coupling welded to a structural support can also be used.<br />

If the desired location for installing the remote unit is in an open area<br />

then a 1" riser pipe sunk in a concrete pad can be used.<br />

Cable Connection – Figure 2<br />

Stainless steel cable (aircraft type) 1 /16" diameter with 7 x 7 stranding<br />

is required. This type of cable is pliable and will make terminal loop<br />

connections easier to form.<br />

It will be necessary to provide a support for the cable to prevent slack.<br />

Any connection from the remote unit to the ESV longer than 3 feet will<br />

require some type of support. Conduit is satisfactory if it is inspected<br />

regularly to make sure cable is free to move at all times. Other types<br />

of support can be used if conduit is not desired.<br />

1<br />

/2" thin wall electrical conduit is readily available. There are many types<br />

of fittings and clamps that can by used with 1 /2" conduit. Figure 2<br />

shows how conduit can be conveyed along pipelines by using standard<br />

pipe hangers.<br />

After erecting cable support make the cable terminal connections as<br />

follows:<br />

Step A: At the remote unit make a loop sleeve connection through<br />

the eye of the turnbuckle.<br />

Step B: Make a loop sleeve connection to the valve.<br />

With the ESV closed, the turnbuckle should be adjusted to provide only<br />

the amount of tension required to prevent sag in the cable.<br />

Caution: Cable should be snug but not tight enough to unlock the<br />

valve latching mechanism when in the closed position.<br />

Foreword<br />

The 7606RM Remote Cable Release Kit has been specifically designed<br />

for versatile, multi-directional manual control of your ESV system.<br />

Cable arrangements can easily be adapted to your specific needs,<br />

allowing lines of control from 3 or more directions. The kit even permits<br />

remote release actuation from outside the fenced area of the average<br />

bulk plant. Two or more ESVs can be operated simultaneously with<br />

a single control.<br />

When installed, the entire control system remains exposed for flexibility<br />

and dependability. Pulleys are not required to change directions; nor<br />

is there need to run the cable through conduit or tubing which could<br />

cause friction or freeze up in bad weather.<br />

Extra cable clamps, etc. are available for more elaborate systems.<br />

• 1" Standard weight caps for terminal posts, as needed.<br />

• Concrete for setting posts.<br />

• Good quality cable cutter.<br />

• Vise grip wrench for cable clamp installation.<br />

Installation Procedure<br />

1. Make a sketch of your plant layout, and determine where the terminating<br />

points of the remote manual release system should be. At least two<br />

remote cable lines going in two directions should be provided, in order<br />

to assure that one line will be approachable regardless of wind<br />

direction. Then, plan the cable system according to the suggestions<br />

herein, paying particular attention to how the cables are connected<br />

between primary and secondary lines of control (see figure 5).<br />

2. Install terminal posts and support posts as required. Support posts should<br />

be placed along primary and auxiliary lines approximately 15 feet apart.<br />

3. Install cable system, complete with tension spring (see figure 1 and 2). Adjust<br />

as necessary to provide proper shutdown action from all remote locations.<br />

7606RM Remote Manual<br />

ESV Cable Kit Installation<br />

Instructions<br />

4. Thoroughly test system by actuating several times, and make further<br />

adjustments as necessary.<br />

5. Complete system should be operated frequently, and adjusted wherever<br />

necessary to keep it in ready condition.<br />

6. It is recommended that a routing daily test procedure be established<br />

for your ESV system, as well as all other safety related equipment in<br />

the plant.<br />

Description of Control<br />

1. The basic 7606RM Cable Control System is installed as shown in Figure<br />

1. The primary cable (A) is stretched from the ESV location (B) to the<br />

terminal post (C), and is held taut by the tension spring (D).<br />

2. A short length of cable (E) is attached to the ESV latch release by means<br />

of an S-hook (F) (see Figure 3) and to the primary cable with a quick<br />

link (G), leaving a slight amount of slack to prevent premature closing<br />

of the ESV. The other end of the tension spring is attached to another<br />

terminal post (H), or directly to the piping or bulkhead by means of a<br />

simple cable linkage (see Figure 2).<br />

3. Support post (J) are mounted approximately 15 feet apart along the<br />

primary cable to prevent excessive whipping in severe windy conditions,<br />

and to help support the weight of the cable for extremely long runs.<br />

Instruction signs (K) are attached to the cable, plant fence or other<br />

suitable support in prominent locations.<br />

NOTE: If signs are installed on cable, they should be secured close to<br />

support posts, or terminal posts.<br />

4. Final adjustment of the cable system is provided by the turnbuckle (L).<br />

5. Pulling on the primary cable (A) at any point in its length will tighten and<br />

pull the short length of cable (E), pulling the ESV latch release to instantly<br />

close the emergency shut off valve. Letting the primary cable go will<br />

allow the ESV to be manually reopened.<br />

Description of Auxiliary Control<br />

1. Auxiliary release cables may be installed along the primary cable (A)<br />

at any point 3 feet or more from the quick link (G) or turnbuckle (L)<br />

(see Figure 4).<br />

2. An auxiliary post (M) is installed and a short cable (N) about 12 inches<br />

long is attached between the post and the primary cable as shown.<br />

The auxiliary release cable (O) is attached at right angles to the primary<br />

cable and run to terminal post (P), using support post (Q) as required.<br />

3. Adjust length of auxiliary cable (O) to eliminate slack, but do not pull<br />

primary cable out of alignment. For very long auxiliary cables, it may<br />

be necessary to add a tension spring attached to another terminal post<br />

to hold it taut without affecting primary cable.<br />

4. Simply reverse the arrangement in Figure 4 to add an auxiliary release<br />

cable on the other side of the primary cable (A).<br />

5. Place separate auxiliary release cables at least 2 feet apart.<br />

6. Many variations of arrangements shown are possible by applying the<br />

basic ideas shown in Figures 1 through 5 to meet individual needs. Call<br />

ECII or your Authorized Product Distributor if you need advice.<br />

Hints for Installation<br />

1. Cut cables carefully and square for easy installation of cable clamps.<br />

2. Squeeze clamps tightly with vise grip pliers or other tools to attach them<br />

securely to cable. Check each clamp to make sure it doesn’t slip.<br />

3. Don’t kink cables when handling. Unwind coils carefully. A kinked cable<br />

will act as a spring, making it difficult to properly adjust control systems.<br />

4. Squeeze each loop flat with fingers after clamping cables, to remote<br />

excessive spring action. This will make it easier to adjust the<br />

5. Install the support post accurately, in line with cable runs, to minimize<br />

friction and eliminate possible cable wear.<br />

6. It’s much better to keep the entire cable installation above ground.<br />

Try to avoid the necessity of crossing a driveway or walk area. If a<br />

driveway or walk area must be crossed, consider going over, rather<br />

than under. An alternate choice in such situations would be a<br />

pneumatic system.<br />

7. Mount all terminal posts and guide posts in concrete for a permanent,<br />

sturdy installation.<br />

NOTE:It is recommended that all ESVs use a transfer hose cable control<br />

as the first line of defense. Specify <strong>Part</strong> <strong>Number</strong> 7609-50. Use it even<br />

for applications not incorporating a permanently attached hose by<br />

attaching cable to truck end of break away fitting or piping.<br />

Instruction Sheet 7606RM-301


WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Operation<br />

The 7606RT Remote Thermal Cable Kit is used with ECII ® Emergency<br />

Shut-Off Valves (ESVs) to provide automatic temperature actuated<br />

shutdown from a remote location. They are needed to comply with<br />

NFPA #58 requirements when the Emergency Shut-Off Valve is installed<br />

more than five feet from the nearest end of the hose or swivel type piping<br />

connected to the line in which the valve is installed.<br />

Other applications include automatic temperature actuated shutdown<br />

of Emergency Shut-Off Valves used to shut off flow in event of fire in<br />

vaporizer, cylinder filling, or motor fuel dispenser applications.<br />

Installation<br />

1. Make a sketch of bulkhead area. Determine desired location for<br />

remote thermal release. It is best if cable (50 ft. maximum length) can<br />

be run in a straight line parallel to axis of ESV, as shown in Figure 1,<br />

directly to remote thermal release. If change in direction is required,<br />

see Figure 2.<br />

2. Install 1" pipe terminal post (G) or other suitable mounting means at<br />

desired location for remote thermal release. Install 1" pipe support<br />

posts (H) with 1" tees as needed, approximately 15 feet apart along<br />

cable line.<br />

3. Install 1" coupling on top of terminal post and mount thermal release<br />

assembly, with fuse link end facing directly towards where the cable<br />

will run.<br />

4. Attach cable (D) to end of chain, (C) with use of sleeve loop. Attach<br />

other end of cable to forward release lever of ESV (E) with a sleeve<br />

loop, adjusting cable length tight enough to eliminate excessive<br />

slack, but loose enough to prevent premature closing of ESV.<br />

7606RT Remote Thermal<br />

Cable Kit Installation Manual<br />

NOTE: For long runs, or if a change of direction in control line is needed,<br />

install <strong>Part</strong> 7606RM-1 Tension Spring to prevent premature closing of<br />

ESV. (Refer to ECII ® Instruction Sheet 7606RM-301 for the 7606RM<br />

Remote Manual ESV Cable Kit.)<br />

5. Test operation of completely assembled system to assure ESV will<br />

close properly when fuse link (B) actuates. This may be done by<br />

rotating ESV lever to open and latched position. Then pull carefully<br />

on chain (C) to stretch spring enough to remove fuse link (B) from end<br />

loop of spring. Relax pull on chain, allowing spring (A) to pull cable<br />

(D). ESV should close as cable (D) tightens. Repeat this several times<br />

to assure that ESV will close properly. Reinstall fuse link, pulling chain<br />

to stretch spring as needed.<br />

NOTE: If remote thermal release cable must turn a corner, use a 12"<br />

cable loop and terminal post as shown in Figure 2. The 12" cable loop<br />

will swing in an arc when thermal release spring pulls cable, applying<br />

tension to cable attached to ESV to close valve.<br />

Many variations from arrangements shown are possible. Apply the<br />

basic ideas shown in Figures 1 and 2 to meet individual needs. Please<br />

call us if you need advice.<br />

Hints for Installation<br />

1. Cut cables carefully and square for easy installation of cable clamps.<br />

2. Squeeze clamps tightly with vise-grip pliers or other tool to attach<br />

them securely to cable. Check each clamp to make sure it doesn’t<br />

slip.<br />

3. Don’t kink cables when handling. Unwind coils carefully. A kinked<br />

cable will act as a spring, making it difficult to properly adjust control<br />

systems.<br />

4. Squeeze each loop flat with fingers after clamping cables, to remove<br />

excessive spring action. This will make it easier to adjust the<br />

completed system and minimize later readjustment.<br />

5. Install the support posts accurately, in line with cable runs, to<br />

minimize friction and eliminate possible cable wear.<br />

6. Keep the entire cable installation above ground.<br />

7. Mount terminal post and all guide posts in concrete for a permanent,<br />

sturdy installation.<br />

NOTE: It is recommended that all ECII ® ESVs use <strong>Part</strong> 7609-50 Transfer<br />

Hose Cable Control as the first line of defense. Use it even for<br />

applications not incorporating a permanently attached hose, by attaching<br />

cable to truck end of breakaway fitting or piping.<br />

Figure 1 — Basic Control System<br />

The simple device uses a strong stainless steel tension spring (A) held<br />

in place by a heavy duty 212° Fuse link (B). A length of stainless steel<br />

aircraft cable (D) is installed between the forward release lever of the<br />

ECII ® ESV and the chain (C). When the fusible element melts, the spring<br />

is released, pulling the cable to close the ESV. The chain (C) is used to<br />

reset the spring when replacing the fuse link.<br />

The 7609-50 contains 20 feet of cable for connecting an emergency<br />

shut-off valve to the downstream loading hose. Cable-to-hose<br />

straps and a stainless steel clamp are provided to secure the cable<br />

end to the hose.<br />

NOTE: The thermal-element to operate the emergency valves<br />

should be not more than 5 feet from the nearest end of the hose.<br />

Installation<br />

See figure below<br />

Cable Kit<br />

Installation Instructions<br />

2. Run cable parallel to piping up to a point where the cable can now<br />

be angled towards the nearest end of the hose. A guide such as an<br />

eye bolt, or a single sheave pulley will be required to change the<br />

direction of the cable.<br />

3. Clamp cable with a nylon-bundle-tie to the hose immediately next<br />

to fixed piping or swivel type connection. From this point back to the<br />

valve, the cable should be taut but not strained. To avoid accidental<br />

tripping of the valve, this section of cable run must not be strained<br />

by normal handling of the loading hose.<br />

4. Continue clamping cable to hose with ties approximately every 12".<br />

Allow a minimum of 1 /2" of cable slack between ties. The cable need<br />

only be clamped to half the length of the hose.<br />

5. Terminate the cable by securing it with the stainless steel hose<br />

clamp 12" from the last nylon tie. Before the hose clamp is tightened,<br />

slip the cable through the clamp and make a loop sleeve. Be sure<br />

to allow 1 /2" of cable slack before tightening hose clamp.<br />

6. With the valve latched open, move the hose to simulate the normal<br />

movement of the hose during usage. The valve should not trip. Also,<br />

check to see if the stainless steel hose clamp has slipped, and if so,<br />

re-adjust and tighten. Note: The only time that the cable will trip the<br />

valve closed is when a truck accidently pulls the hose and causes<br />

the hose to stretch.<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Installation — see Figures 1 & 2<br />

Install the valve in the vapor return line on the plant side of the bulkhead.<br />

The valve should be in the fixed piping of the transfer system within 20<br />

feet (along the pipe lineally) from the nearest end of the hose or the<br />

swivel type piping to which the hose is attached. If the valve is installed<br />

more than 5 feet from this hose end connection, an ECII ® 7606A<br />

Remote Closing Device must be installed within 5 feet of the hose end<br />

connection.<br />

To Test For Operation — see Figure 3<br />

1. Rotate Cam Lever counterclockwise to open valve. The Locking<br />

Arm Assembly will engage in this position.<br />

2. Rotate the Latching Arm Assembly clockwise to close valve.<br />

3. Check Installation: (a) close hose end valve; (b) open ESV (c)<br />

charge system with LP-Gas and (d) check all connections for<br />

leakage.<br />

Important: This ESV has a pressure equalizing feature built into it. It will<br />

open with nominal manual effort if LP-Gas pressure is on both sides of<br />

the check. If the ESV is closed with LP-Gas pressure behind the check<br />

only, the opening effort is greater and the following procedure must be<br />

used:<br />

Turn the operating lever slightly. This opens the equalizing valve built into<br />

the valve check; wait until the LP-Gas pressure has equalized across the<br />

valve seat and the ESV will open with nominal effort.<br />

Thermal Fuse Replacement — see Figure 4<br />

The locking arm which contains the thermal fuse element is an integral<br />

component of the fuse release assembly 7781A-29. If it is necessary to<br />

replace the fuse element, then the above assembly must be replaced<br />

with a factory replacement unit. To remove the fuse release assembly<br />

from valve, disengage locking arm and remove roll pin (1747-8) from<br />

stem. Then slide out cam lever (7781A-5) and unscrew locking nut<br />

(7781A-17) from stem. The topworks unit is now free to remove from<br />

the valve body.<br />

Reverse above procedure to install new unit being sure the base plate<br />

tab is seated in the alignment groove on top of the valve body. If a remote<br />

closing device is used, see instruction sheet 7608-301.<br />

Cable Attachment — see Figures 1 and 3<br />

The locking arm assembly is designed to be pulled from either the<br />

storage tank side or the loading side of the valve. In either case, the line<br />

of pulling force should be in line with the axis of valve bore. Therefore,<br />

when attaching a cable from the valve to the end of the transfer hose,<br />

a guide pulley may be required to obtain in-line axis pulling force.<br />

The 8-32 threaded holes in the locking arm assembly are used to<br />

connect a 1 /16" diameter cable. The connection can be made by a loop<br />

with a sleeve spice (supplied in ECII ® 7609-50 Transfer Cable Kit or<br />

7608-50 Manual Remote Control Cable Kit).<br />

An alternate type of connection can be made with an 8-32 x 1 /4" long<br />

machine screw and washer. Be sure to use 7 x 7 strand, 1 /16" diameter<br />

cable. 1 x 7 strand cable is too stiff causing difficulty in flexing around<br />

the screw. It will also be difficult to use in making a loop type connection.<br />

NOTE: Before making final tension adjustments, latch valve in the open<br />

position. If the latch closes the valve while adjusting the tension, then the<br />

cable is too taut. It may take a few times to "tune" the cable tripping<br />

system.<br />

Installing Remote Closing Device — see Figure 5 and refer<br />

to 7606A-301 Instructions<br />

The remote unit should be mounted in a vertical position. It will function,<br />

however, in any position as long as the pull on the cable is in line with<br />

the directional pull on the handle of the device.<br />

Mount the Manual Remote Closing Device on the plant side in the<br />

desired location. Splice additional 1 /16" diameter stainless steel aircraft<br />

cable, 7 x 7 strand (Kit 7608-50) to the rear cable (1) supplied with the<br />

ESV valve, running the additional length through thin wall conduit to the<br />

remote closing device. Take up slack at the turnbuckle provided, so that<br />

cable from the ESV valve to the remote closing device is taut, but not<br />

strained. Pull handle on remote closing device and check to see valve<br />

closes.<br />

CAUTION: If there is excessive tension on the cable it may prevent<br />

complete engagement of the latching mechanism. As a result, any<br />

form of vibration or accidental jarring of the valve could cause<br />

premature closing.<br />

Transfer Hose Cable Closing Kit — see Figure 1 and refer to<br />

7609-301 Instructions<br />

Connect necessary loading hose to system. The forward cable on the<br />

valve can be extended with a spliced length of cable to the loading hose<br />

beyond the bulkhead. This cable should be strapped to the loading hose<br />

at the proper distance from the bulkhead , so that if the vehicle pulls away<br />

without disconnecting the hose , the slack being taken up by the moving<br />

vehicle or the stretch in the hose will pull the cable and close the valve.<br />

Most new hoses will elongate about 70% before separating.<br />

NOTE: The point closest to the valve at which the cable should be<br />

clamped to the loading hose must be determined by the unique<br />

requirements of each installation. Additional clamps should be installed<br />

at 1 foot intervals with an extra 1 /2" of cable allowed per foot of hose<br />

length, permitting free movement of the hose without nuisance closing.<br />

IMPORTANT: The cable-to-hose connection most distant from the<br />

valve must be securely clamped — Figure 1.<br />

Application<br />

The RegO ® A7853PA Pneumatic Actuator is designed especially for<br />

operating RegO ® A7853A 3-Way Valves used in conjunction with<br />

RegO ® A7883FK and A7884FK Flomatic ® Internal Valves. This<br />

Pneumatic Actuator provides a simple and convenient means to<br />

open and close the A7853A 3-Way Valve which controls the differential<br />

pressure into the Flomatic. This differential pressure opens<br />

and closes the Flomatic ® Valve.<br />

The A7853PA is only for use on the RegO ® A7853A 3-Way Valve<br />

when used in conjunction with RegO Flomatic ® Internal Valves. Do<br />

not use actuator in other applications. Responsibility for proper<br />

installation must be assumed and met by the installer.<br />

How The Pneumatic Actuator Works<br />

The A7853PA Pneumatic Actuator can be pressurized with an<br />

existing pneumatic system. The actuator is designed to move the<br />

A7853A 3-Way Valve’s lever to the “Up & Open” position when<br />

pressure is applied and return it to the “Down & Closed” position<br />

upon loss of pressure. The A7853PA operates with a minimum<br />

pressure of 50 psig and a maximum operation pressure of 150 psig.<br />

A7853PA Pneumatic Actuator<br />

for use on A7853A 3-Way Valves<br />

in Flomatic ® Installations<br />

Pneumatic Actuator Installation<br />

1. Before beginning installation of the A7853PA, verify that the<br />

following requirements are met:<br />

a. The LP-Gas system is shut down to prevent accidental<br />

operation of the system and to prevent the escape of LP-Gas<br />

during the installation.<br />

b. Installation must only be performed by qualified personnel,<br />

fully proficient with compressed air systems.<br />

c. There is sufficient space at the A7853A 3-Way Valve to<br />

accommodate the pneumatic actuator. Hoses and wires<br />

must not be jeopardized by the operation of the actuator.<br />

d. A flat mounting surface exists for mounting the pneumatic<br />

actuator. This may be part of a truck frame. The back side<br />

area of this surface must be inspected for any devices which<br />

could be damaged from drilling during installation.<br />

e. The A7853A 3-Way Valve must be mounted securely. System<br />

piping alone is not sufficient to hold the valve securely<br />

when using the actuator. There are (2) 3 /8" x 16 UNC bosses<br />

located on the back of this valve for mounting.<br />

2. Disconnect any devices that are attached to the lever of the<br />

A7853A 3-way Valve.<br />

3. If the lever of the A7853A Valve is:<br />

a. flat with a milled slot in the middle – proceed to Step 6.<br />

b. round without a milled slot – continue with Step 4.<br />

CAUTION: Be sure the lever does not flip to the "Up & Open"<br />

position during this installation.<br />

4. Carefully remove the roll pin securing the lever to the valve stem.<br />

Use an appropriately sized punch and hammer if needed.<br />

5. Place the new A7853A-75H lever over the valve’s stem in the<br />

“Down & Closed” position. Lever must be purchased separately.<br />

Align the holes of the lever and stem. Insert roll pin and secure.<br />

6. Mark a Reference Point on the mounting surface. This point must<br />

be 17 /32" above and 4 3 /32" offset from the hole where the roll pin<br />

is inserted into the lever and stem. See diagram.<br />

7. Drill (2) 1 /4" holes in mounting plate. Position holes directly 3 /4"<br />

above and 3 /4" below the Reference Point. See diagram.<br />

8. Position the spacers provided between the mounting bracket<br />

and mounting surface as shown. Secure bracket to the surface<br />

using the cap screws, washers, lock nuts, and nuts supplied.<br />

9. Install the pneumatic actuator onto the mounting bracket using<br />

the bracket lock nut to secure.<br />

10. Thread the yoke lock nut onto the actuator shaft.<br />

11. Thread the yoke onto the actuator shaft until the threads of the<br />

actuator are flush with the inside of the yoke. Secure the yoke's<br />

position with the yoke lock nut.<br />

12. Line up the end holes in the yoke with the milled slot in the lever.<br />

It may be necessary to pull out the spring loaded actuator shaft<br />

up to 1 /2" to line up the holes with this slot. Install the yoke pin<br />

through the yoke and lever. Slide the (2) e-rings provided into the<br />

grooves on the yoke pin to secure the pin in place.<br />

Caution: Make sure the palm button is fully depressed before<br />

installing.<br />

13. Install the push-pull palm switch (available separately) at a<br />

location convenient for the operator but where it will not be<br />

subject to accidental operation from being bumped.<br />

14. Connect a hose from the air source to port # 2 of the palm switch.<br />

Install a 1/4" NPT "TEE" to port #1 of the palm switch and then<br />

connect a hose from the "TEE" to the inlet of the pneumatic<br />

actuator. (The 1/4" NPT "TEE" is to be supplied by the customer<br />

for installation of the thermal fuse).<br />

Note: The pneumatic actuating system employed must meet the<br />

requirements and provisions of NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, and all<br />

applicable federal, state, provinicial, and local standards, codes,<br />

regulations and laws.<br />

Testing<br />

Caution: Make sure the propane system is inactivated before<br />

testing installation.<br />

Verify that the palm switch is fully depressed and the lever on the<br />

3-Way Valve is in the “Down and Closed” position. When the palm<br />

switch is pulled, the actuator should push the lever in to the “Up and<br />

Open” position. The “Up and Open” position is vertical or slightly<br />

past vertical.<br />

Maintenance<br />

The pneumatic actuator must be inspected for excessive wear at all<br />

the connection points during the system’s scheduled maintenance.<br />

Replacement of worn parts is essential to safe operation of the<br />

LP-Gas delivery system.<br />

A7883FK & A7884FK<br />

Flomatic Internal Valves<br />

For direct pump mounting on trucks,<br />

transports, and bulk storage in LP-Gas<br />

and NH3 service.<br />

Application<br />

The A7883FK Series Internal Valves are designed primarily for<br />

LP-Gas and anhydrous ammonia liquid withdrawal on MC331<br />

bobtail delivery trucks, transports, and large stationary storage<br />

containers with flanged connections. The valve is fully automatic,<br />

opening and closing as the pump is turned on or off.<br />

Fully Automatic<br />

• Operates on pressure differential from the pump to open and<br />

close.<br />

• Automatically closes should downstream line rupture causing<br />

loss of pump differential pressure required to keep the<br />

valve open.<br />

• Eliminates problems of improperly sized excess flow valves<br />

slugging shut during liquid transfer.<br />

Faster Unloading<br />

• Straight through flow design provides minimum pressure<br />

drop and large flow capacity to the pump, resulting in higher<br />

flow rates and greater pump efficiency.<br />

• Unloading is quicker and turn-around faster to provide more<br />

profitable operation.<br />

Greater Protection<br />

• Fully automatic operation virtually eliminates operator errors<br />

such as forgetting to close the valve after product transfer.<br />

• Fully internal design reduces possibility of spillage that may<br />

result from a collision.<br />

• Built-in visual indicator lets the operator know whether the<br />

valve seat is in the open or closed position.<br />

• Never a cable problem. The valves must NEVER be held<br />

open by wire or any other means as the valve will not close<br />

as expected when the pump is shut off.<br />

Less Maintenance<br />

• Easily replaceable, high efficiency external filter removes<br />

contaminants as small as 20 microns.<br />

• No need to check or replace air lines, cables, or cable<br />

connections.<br />

Economical<br />

• Completely equipped with mounting bolts, flange gaskets,<br />

quick acting valve, and filter -- all in one purchase price.<br />

• No need to purchase additional mounting equipment or<br />

actuating accessories.<br />

• Specify the Flomatic ® on your next new tank body or when<br />

your tank is rebuilt.<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions<br />

of NFPA #54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable<br />

federal, state, provincial, and local standards, codes, regulations<br />

and laws.<br />

This valve must remain in the closed position except during<br />

product transfer. A line break downstream of the pump may fail<br />

to actuate the excess flow valve as the pump may limit flow. If<br />

a break occurs in the system, or the excess flow closes,<br />

immediately shut down the system.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

How the Valve Works:<br />

1. Normally Closed<br />

While the valve is closed, liquid flows into the INLET PORTS,<br />

and through a channel in the PISTON into area A. It also flows<br />

down through the PRIMING CHANNEL in the valve body, into<br />

area B beneath the valve seat -- and into area C to prime the<br />

PUMP.<br />

Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance must be<br />

performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must<br />

be kept far enough from any open flame or other source of<br />

ignition to prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air<br />

and may not disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

2. Pump on — Valve Opening<br />

When the pump is started, differential pressure transmits through<br />

the 1 /4” piping into chamber D, lifting the PILOT STEM. This<br />

opens the seat between the stem and piston at E. Pump suction<br />

then evacuates the tank pressure in area A, which becomes<br />

equal to the pump suction pressure.<br />

3. Pump On — Valve Open<br />

Tank pressure exerted on the X-RING SEAL forces the PISTON<br />

up to open the valve. This rotates the INDICATOR SLOT to its<br />

vertical (valve open) position. The pump differential pressure in<br />

area D holds the PILOT STEM and PISTON open. Approximately<br />

18 psig pump differential pressure is required to open the<br />

valve and approximately 8 psig differential pressure will hold the<br />

valve open.<br />

4. Pump Off — Valve Closes<br />

With the pump shut off, the pressure in area D which holds the<br />

valve open, bleeds out through the # 60 DRILL ORIFICE. This<br />

loss of pressure permits the SPRING to push the PILOT STEM<br />

down and re-seat at point E. Since pressures are equal above<br />

and below the PISTON, with no sustaining pressure in area D,<br />

the SPRING forces the valve closed. The INDICATOR SLOT<br />

rotates to the horizontal (valve closed) position.<br />

Instruction Sheet A7883FK-300


WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by<br />

qualified personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be<br />

kept far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Installation<br />

The 8542 Series is designed especially for use as a primary relief device<br />

on smaller stationary storage containers up to 1200 gallons water<br />

capacity with 2" NPT threaded couplings. These manifolds allow<br />

servicing or replacement of either of the two relief valves without<br />

evacuating the container or loss of service. The operating lever<br />

selectively closes off the entrance port to the relief valve being removed<br />

while the remaining valve provides protection for the container and its<br />

contents. The rating of each manifold is based on actual flow through<br />

the manifold and a single pressure relief valve, taking friction loss into<br />

account. It is not merely the rating of the relief valve alone.<br />

If the DuoPort Manifold is to be used with a vent stack, the following<br />

installation procedures should be observed:<br />

1. Be certain that an ECII ® 3135-10 pipe-away adapter is threaded<br />

into the outlet of each safety relief valve. In addition to providing a<br />

2" NPT female connection for the installation of 2" pipe, this adapter<br />

has an externally machined weakness groove to facilitate breakage<br />

at this point, leaving the valve itself fully operative in case undue<br />

stresses are applied to the vent piping.<br />

2. Limit the height of the vent stack to a minimum. Be sure to include<br />

the approximate overall height of the DuoPort (11 9 /16") in<br />

determining the overall height of the vent required above the top of<br />

the container.<br />

3. Secure the two vent stacks firmly to each other midway or at the top<br />

to break the wind velocity between the stacks and to reduce the<br />

tendency to vibrate or oscillate. This may be accomplished by<br />

inserting a wooden block between the stacks and clamping them<br />

together at this point.<br />

Installation, Operation and Service<br />

Instructions<br />

Operation<br />

In normal operation, the handle is kept at the center stop. In this<br />

position, both relief valves are open to the container vapor space. This<br />

provides extra relief capacity by permitting both valves to function<br />

simultaneously if necessary.<br />

To remove a safety relief valve for retesting or replacement:<br />

1. Pull out the locking latch to release the handle. See Figure 1.<br />

2. Rotate the handle upward to position beneath the valve to be<br />

removed. See Figures 1 and 3.<br />

3. Release the locking latch when the handle clears the ledge marking<br />

the off position. The spring loaded latch automatically retains the<br />

handle in this position.<br />

4. Do not attempt to remove the safety relief valve until the vapor<br />

trapped between the valve seat disc and clapper disc is exhausted.<br />

5. To exhaust the trapped vapor, turn the appropriate bleeder valve<br />

clockwise until it is firmly seated in the closed position. The vapor<br />

will then vent. If this discharge continues for more than a few<br />

seconds, either the handle is not firmly locked in the off position or<br />

the bleeder valve is not completely shut-off. See Figure 2.<br />

6. Once the vapor discharge stops, do not attempt to move the handle.<br />

7. The 2 11 /16" wrench flats on the safety relief valve facilitate removal<br />

after the discharge stops. The tank vapor pressure maintains a<br />

leak-tight seal between the clapper disc and seal ring.<br />

8. If an extra safety relief valve is not immediately at hand to replace<br />

the one that was removed, the open port must be sealed with the<br />

rubber stopper to prevent the entrance of moisture and contaminants.<br />

Do not use a pipe plug or otherwise make a pressure-tight<br />

seal. This may allow internal pressure to equalize, and permit<br />

turning the handle to close off the other safety relief valve, leaving<br />

the tank unprotected. Do not attempt to move the handle or bleeder<br />

valves while any port is without a safety relief valve.<br />

Valve Replacement<br />

NOTE: Use only ECII ® 3135 Safety Relief Valves in ECII ® 8542<br />

DuoPort Manifolds. These valves have been specially machined for<br />

this service.<br />

<strong>Repair</strong> must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing, tools and<br />

work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign matter to<br />

prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

1. Apply a small amount of a suitable pipe joint compound to the male<br />

threads of safety relief valve. Do not apply compound to DuoPort<br />

threads.<br />

2. Screw in the replacement safety relief valve, using sufficient torque<br />

to produce a leak-tight seal.<br />

3. Turn the bleeder valve counterclockwise until it back-seats firmly.<br />

This permits pressure equalization between the tank and the space<br />

below the safety relief valve.<br />

4. Use a high quality leak detection solution to check the seal on the<br />

replaced safety relief valve to assure a leak tight seal.<br />

5. The handle should now be returned to the center stop and locked<br />

in place so that the clapper is not under either safety relief valve.<br />

WARNING: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product<br />

must be in compliance with all Engineered Controls International,<br />

Inc. instructions as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA<br />

#54, NFPA #58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial<br />

and local standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Installation and maintenance should be performed only by qualified<br />

personnel.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must<br />

be kept far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition<br />

to prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

Installation<br />

The AA8542 Series is designed especially for use as a primary relief<br />

device on smaller stationary storage containers, up to 1200 gallons<br />

water capacity with 2" NPT threaded couplings. These manifolds allow<br />

servicing or replacement of either of the two relief valves without<br />

evacuating the container or loss of service. The operating lever<br />

selectively closes off the entrance port to the relief valve being removed<br />

while the remaining valve provides protection for the container and its<br />

contents. The rating of each manifold is based on actual flow through<br />

the manifold and a single pressure relief valve, taking friction loss into<br />

account. It is not merely the rating of the relief valve alone.<br />

If the DuoPort Manifold is to be used with a vent stack, the following<br />

installation procedures should be observed:<br />

1. Be certain that an ECII ® AA3135-10 pipe-away adapter is threaded<br />

into the outlet of each safety relief valve. In addition to providing a<br />

2" NPT female connection for the installation of 2" pipe, this adapter<br />

has an externally machined weakness groove to facilitate breakage<br />

at this point, leaving the valve itself fully operative in case undue<br />

stresses are applied to the vent piping.<br />

2. Limit the height of the vent stack to a minimum. Be sure to include<br />

AA8542 Series DuoPort<br />

Installation, Operation and Service<br />

Instructions<br />

the approximate overall height of the DuoPort (11 11 /16") in determining<br />

the overall height of the vent required above the top of the<br />

container.<br />

3. Secure the two vent stacks firmly to each other midway or at the top<br />

to break the wind velocity between the stacks and to reduce the<br />

tendency to vibrate or oscillate. This may be accomplished by<br />

inserting a wooden block between the stacks and clamping them<br />

together at this point.<br />

Operation<br />

In normal operation, the Handle is kept at the Center Stop. In this<br />

position, both relief valves are open to the container vapor space,<br />

providing extra relief capacity by permitting both valves to function<br />

simultaneously if necessary.<br />

To remove a safety relief valve for retesting or replacement:<br />

1. Pull out the Locking Latch to release the Handle.<br />

2. Rotate the Handle upward to position beneath the valve to be<br />

removed.<br />

3. Release the Locking Latch when the Handle clears the ledge<br />

marking the Off position. The spring loaded latch automatically<br />

retains the Handle in this position.<br />

4. Do not attempt to remove the safety relief valve until the vapor<br />

trapped between the valve seat disc and clapper disc is exhausted.<br />

5. To exhaust this trapped vapor, turn the appropriate Bleeder Valve<br />

clockwise until it is firmly seated. The vapor will then vent. If this<br />

discharge continues for more than a few seconds, either the Handle<br />

is not firmly locked in the Off position or the Bleeder Valve is not<br />

completely shut-off.<br />

6. Once the vapor discharge stops, do not attempt to move the Handle.<br />

7. The 2 11 /16" wrench flats on the safety relief valve facilitate removal<br />

after the discharge stops. Tank vapor pressure maintains a leaktight<br />

seal between the Clapper Disc and Seal Ring.<br />

8. If an extra safety relief valve is not immediately at hand to replace<br />

the one that was removed, the open port must be sealed with the<br />

Rubber Stopper to prevent the entrance of moisture and contaminants.<br />

Do not use a pipe plug or otherwise make a pressure-tight<br />

seal. This may allow internal pressure to equalize, and permit<br />

turning the Handle to close off the other safety relief valve, leaving<br />

the tank unprotected. Do not attempt to move the handle or<br />

bleeder valves while any port is without a safety relief valve.<br />

Valve Replacement<br />

NOTE: Use only ECII ® AA3135 Safety Relief Valves in ECII ® AA8542<br />

DuoPort Manifolds. These valves have been specially machined for<br />

this service.<br />

<strong>Repair</strong> must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing, tools and<br />

work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign matter to<br />

prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

1. Apply a small amount of 5555PM leaded pipe compound, or a<br />

similar non-hardening compound, to the male threads of safety<br />

relief valve. Do not apply compound to DuoPort threads.<br />

2. Screw in the replacement safety relief valve, using sufficient torque<br />

to produce a leak-tight seal.<br />

3. Turn the Bleeder Valve counterclockwise until it seats firmly. This<br />

permits pressure equalization between the tank and the space<br />

below the safety relief valve.<br />

4. Check the seal on the replaced safety relief valve to assure there is<br />

a leak tight seal. Use a high quality leak detection solutuion.<br />

5. The Handle should now be returned to the Center Stop and locked<br />

in place so that the Clapper is not under either safety relief valve.<br />

Foreword<br />

MultiPort TM Pressure Relief Valve Manifold Assemblies are designed for<br />

continuous, uninterrupted service on pressurized storage containers<br />

with flanged openings. These manifolds permit servicing or replacement<br />

of any one of the pressure relief valves while the container is under<br />

pressure. The container does not need to be evacuated. A handwheel on<br />

the manifold is designed to selectively close off the entrance port to the<br />

relief valve being removed without interrupting the operation of the other<br />

relief valves – saving time and money when relief valve replacement<br />

becomes necessary.<br />

The pressure relief valves used on these manifolds are all of the “popaction”<br />

design. The design permits the relief valve to open slightly to<br />

relieve moderately excessive pressures, keeping fluid waste to a minimum.<br />

When pressures increase beyond a predetermined point, the valve<br />

is designed to “pop” open its full discharge capacity to relieve pressure<br />

quickly.<br />

RegO ® 8560 & 8570 Series MultiPort TM Pressure Relief Valve Manifolds<br />

are compatible with LP-Gas and anhydrous ammonia ( NH3) as follows:<br />

A prefix before number compatible with both LP-Gas and NH3.<br />

AA prefix before number compatible with NH3 only<br />

MultiPort TM Installation<br />

MultiPort TM Container Connections – See Figure 1<br />

• A8563G and A8564G manifolds have a flat faced flange with a<br />

6 5 /8" bolt circle diameter. This is a standard 3" flange but the port<br />

diameter is 4". The mating flange on the container must also have<br />

a 4" port diameter. The proper gasket, part # 7564-48, is<br />

furnished with each manifold.<br />

• A8573G, AA8573G, and A8574G manifolds have a 1 /16" raised<br />

face flange with a 7 7 /8" bolt circle diameter. This is a standard 4"<br />

flange. The proper gasket, part # 7565-48, is furnished with each<br />

manifold.<br />

MultiPort TM manifolds are usually installed on either a man hole cover<br />

plate or a welding neck flange. It should be mounted in a position<br />

where the handwheel is easy to read and operate. Bolt studs and<br />

nuts should be used to install the manifold. These bolt studs and<br />

nuts should be 3 /4" - 10 alloy steel 193-66 grade B-7.<br />

• For manhole cover plates – use (8) 3 1 /2" long bolt studs – available<br />

as kit # 7560-56, if not available locally. See Figure 2.<br />

• For welding neck flanges – use (8) 4 1 /4" long bold studs – available<br />

as kit # 7560-55, if not available locally. See Figure 3.<br />

opposite sequence around the diameter. Follow the sequence shown<br />

in Figure 4.<br />

For normal operation with all relief valves in place, the bleeder valves<br />

located below each manifold port should be turned counterclockwise<br />

until fully backseated. Keep the bleeder valves in this position<br />

during normal operation. See Figure 5.<br />

After the container is pressurized, check the seal of the flange makeup<br />

by applying a non-corrosive leak detection solution. If bubbles<br />

appear, tighten the bolts until the flange seals. If this does not work,<br />

the flanged surface needs to be checked.<br />

There is an arrow directly below the handwheel on the manifold body.<br />

For normal operation with all relief valves in place, the handwheel<br />

should be turned so the arrow on the body is midway between any<br />

two (2) adjacent numbers on the handwheel. In this position, all four<br />

relief valves are available to provide extra relief capacity if necessary.<br />

Extra Tank Openings<br />

In many cases, the installation of a MultiPort TM results in one or more<br />

empty flanged openings in the container which were formerly<br />

occupied by individual flanged relief valves. These extra openings<br />

can either be sealed off or used for extra withdrawal capabilities.<br />

Openings can be sealed with properly sized and rated blind flanges.<br />

Extra threaded openings can be provided by using a screwed<br />

reducing flange with the required thread size.<br />

Relief Valve Removal<br />

NOTE: Before beginning relief valve removal or inspection, be sure<br />

protective eye wear and gloves are worn. Do not look directly into<br />

the relief valves at any time because they may discharge and cause<br />

bodily injury. No more than one relief valve may be removed from the<br />

manifold at any one time.<br />

The relief valve ports are numbered clockwise from the positioning<br />

handwheel. The one at the left of the handwheel is number one (1)<br />

and the one at the right is number four (4). Note the number of the<br />

manifold body port into which the relief valve to be removed is<br />

threaded. Turn the positioning handwheel until the number on the<br />

handwheel which corresponds to the number of the relief valve to<br />

be removed is in line with the arrow on the manifold body directly<br />

below the handwheel. See Figure 6. This procedure should position<br />

the manifold's shut-off disc under the desired port. Proper location<br />

and positioning of the shut-off disc can be checked using the<br />

bleeder valve directly below the port where the relief valve is to be<br />

removed – as instructed below.<br />

Turn the handwheel of the bleeder valve in a clockwise direction<br />

until it seats. See Figures 6 and 7. This procedure should allow<br />

propane vapor to bleed from the hole in the bleeder valve body and<br />

release the pressure between the manifold shut off-disc and the<br />

relief valve.<br />

After the discharge stops, the relief valve is ready to be removed. If<br />

the vapor continues to discharge for more than one minute, the<br />

manifold shut-off disc is either not fully seated or not properly<br />

positioned. The bleeder valve handwheel must then be back seated<br />

by turning in a counterclockwise direction to equalize the pressure.<br />

This should allow the free turning of the positioning handwheel for<br />

repositioning. When the manifold shut-off disc is properly positioned,<br />

the bleeding operation must then be repeated as earlier<br />

described.<br />

WARNING: Never attempt to move the manifold shut-off disc<br />

via the positioning hand wheel after pressure has been bled off<br />

or the relief valve has been removed.<br />

After the manifold shut-off disc has been properly positioned and<br />

the pressure beneath the relief valve has been bled out, the weep<br />

hole deflector must be removed from the relief valve. See Figure 8.<br />

Remove the weep hole deflector with an appropriate wrench. This<br />

provides clearance for gripping and turning the relief valve with a<br />

wrench.<br />

The relief valve may now be removed with an open end wrench,<br />

monkey wrench, pipe wrench or chain wrench applied to the hex<br />

section of the relief valve.<br />

If the relief valve cannot be replaced immediately, the rubber<br />

stopper must be placed in open port to prevent the entrance of<br />

foreign material. See Figure 9. Give the stopper a half turn to engage<br />

a few threads. Do not use a pipe plug or otherwise make a pressure<br />

tight seal. A seal would permit turning the positioning handwheel so<br />

another relief valve could be closed off. This would leave the<br />

container with inadequate protection and is not permissible.<br />

In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the positioning<br />

handwheel to facilitate removal of relief valves one and four. If this<br />

is done, carefully note the position of the handwheel and replace it<br />

in exactly the same position. This can be verified by matching the<br />

number of the closed port, the number on the handwheel and the<br />

arrow stamped on the manifold body pad directly below the<br />

handwheel.<br />

Relief Valve Replacement<br />

Before installation, apply a suitable non-hardening pipe compound<br />

to the male thread of the relief valve.<br />

NOTE: Do not apply compound to the female thread in the<br />

manifold port.<br />

Using the same wrench on the hex section of the relief valve,<br />

screw the replacement relief valve into the open port. Tighten<br />

down with sufficient torque to provide a leak-tight seal.<br />

Apply pipe compound to the male threads of the weep hole<br />

deflector and install it into the outermost tapped opening of the<br />

relief valve. Be sure the remaining two openings are plugged.<br />

The deflector must be installed so that the large angle bore<br />

points up. Turn the small handwheel of the bleeder valve located<br />

below the replaced relief valve counterclockwise until it is fully<br />

backseated. This procedure will allow pressure to equalize<br />

between the manifold shut-off disc and the relief valve. The<br />

positioning handwheel should now be free to turn.<br />

During normal use, with all relief valves properly in place, it is<br />

recommended that the handwheel be turned so that the manifold<br />

shut-off disc is positioned between any two relief valves.<br />

This is accomplished by positioning the handwheel so the arrow<br />

on the manifold body points between any two numbers on the<br />

handwheel. This will provide extra relief capacity so that all of the<br />

relief valves can function if necessary.<br />

Check the connection of the replaced relief valve and manifold<br />

with a high quality leak detecting solution. If bubbles appear,<br />

there is a leak. The connection must be leak-tight.<br />

MAINTENANCE GUIDE<br />

MultiPort TM Pressure Relief Valve<br />

Manifold Assemblies<br />

MultiPort TM Pressure Relief Valve Manifold Assemblies are designed for continuous, uninterrupted<br />

service on pressurized storage containers with flanged openings. Since these MultiPort TM Manifold<br />

Assemblies are exposed to the environment, regular inspections and maintenance are required. The<br />

following suggested schedule will help to keep the MultiPort TM in operating condition.<br />

This is only a suggested maintenance schedule for MultiPort TM Pressure Relief Valve Manifolds.<br />

These time periods were based on ideal conditions. However, the actual time periods may need<br />

to be reduced depending on the environment in which the Manifold is placed. Inspection and<br />

maintenance is very important. Failure to properly inspect and maintain relief valves manifolds<br />

and relief valves could result in personal injury and property damage.<br />

With all four relief valves in service – cycle the manifold positioning handwheel to turn the Manifold<br />

Shut-Off Disc one full revolution. Lubricate both the miter gears and handwheel stem guide with<br />

machine oil.<br />

Following this maintenance, the handwheel should be returned to a normal operating position – the<br />

arrow on the body should be midway between any two (2) adjacent numbers on the handwheel.<br />

With all four relief valves in service – verify each bleeder valve can be opened and resealed leak tight.<br />

Cycle the bleeder thumbscrews and check for smooth operation.<br />

After cycling, turn the bleeder valve thumbscrew counterclockwise until fully backseated – the position<br />

for normal operation.<br />

Inspect the entire manifold and flanged manifold connection for leaks using a non-corrosive leak<br />

detection solution. If leaks are detected, correct immediately.<br />
