Install Instructions

INTRODUCTION/APPLICATION
The Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve incorporates all of
the functions required on the discharge side of a pump in a
Hydronic System into one valve. It is a spring loaded non
slam check valve, a shut off valve, a flow control valve and
a flow metering valve.
Each valve has a calibrated nameplate for system balancing
(approximate). All valves are equipped with metering ports for
taking differential pressure readings that can be used with
corresponding flow charts for more accurate system balance.
OPERATING LIMITATIONS
INSTALLATION
1. It is critical that the Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve
is always installed with the shaft facing upwards as indi-
cated in the diagrams.
2. The Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve should be mount-
ed to a spool piece on the discharge side of the pump. It
is recommended that a spool piece of 12" be used on
pumps with a discharge size of 1.5" through 6" and a 24"
spool piece be used for discharge sizes 8" through 12".
3. In order to prevent any objectionable system noise,
mounting of the valve directly to the pump is not rec-
ommended.
4. Provide sufficient clearance around the valve to facilitate
removal or repair.
5. Valve should be installed in the direction of the flow
arrows on the valve body.
6. The valve body is not designed to support the weight of
the system piping. Pipe hangers must be used and
properly installed in accordance with accepted industry
standards/practice. Pipe supports should be provided
under the valve bodies.
