Flow rate adjustment The flow rate is adjusted by carrying out the following operations: A. With the aid of the indicator (1), mark the reference flow rate on which the valve is to be set. 1 B. Use the ring (2) to slowly open the flow meter bypass valve that shuts off the flow of medium in the flow meter (3) under normal operating conditions. 3 2 C.

D. After completing the balancing, release the ring (2) of the flow meter bypass valve, which will automatically go back into the closed position. 2 E. On completing the adjustment, the indicator (1) can be used to keep the setting in memory, in case checks need to be made over time. 1 F. A replacement flow meter bypass valve stem with operating ring is available in the event it is damaged and inoperable. Order code F19346. See page 6 for replacement instructions.

Application: Balanced recirculating systems In some buildings, an example recirculation system is shown below: Multiple hot and cold water risers are supplied from common hot and cold water mains. The number and type of fixtures served by each set of risers will often be different. A recirculation riser accompanies each set of hot and cold risers. A single circulator provides recirculation flow through the entire system.

Procedure for replacing bypass valve stem with operating ring 1. Remove bypass valve assembly with an 8 mm wrench. 2. Install replacement bypass valve assembly, code F19346, using locktight to seal the threads. CAUTION: If the balancing valve valve is not installed, commissioned and maintained properly, according to the instructions contained in this manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the user. CAUTION: Make sure that all the connecting pipework is water tight.
