(Fe2O3) in the system may void Warranty. Fig. 15.
• Clean the lines upstream of particles larger than 1/16 inch
(1 mm) diameter (welding slag, pipe scale, sand and other
suspended particulate). Use of a 50 micron (or finer) system
side-stream filter is suggested. Remove all filters before
flushing. Use of 20 mesh strainers in the system is
recommended.
• Follow boiler or chiller manufacturer’s recommendations for
water treatment such as rust inhibitors, acidity, etc.
• Rapid increases in pH levels can create excessive
quantities of magnetite (Fe3O4) in systems with iron piping
and other components.
• Do not use boiler additives, solder flux and wetted materials
which are petroleum-based or contain mineral oil,
hydrocarbons, or ethylene glycol acetate. These may cause
the seat to swell, impairing operation. If treating system with
azole-based compounds, system must be thoroughly
flushed before filling, or resilient seat may be damaged.
Compounds which can be used, with minimum 50% water M27024
dilution, are diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and
propylene glycol (antifreeze solutions).

piping meets these criteria for water quality or treatment. 4. Hoist valve by its body or neck only, using a nylon sling.
Do not lift by actuator, manual operator, or flange holes.
