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 balanc-

ing (approximate). All valves are equipped with metering

ports for taking differential pressure readings that can be

used with corresponding flow charts for more accurate sys-

tem balance.

OPERATING LIMITATIONS

INSTALLATION

1. The Taco Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve should be

mounted 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".

2. In order to prevent any objectionable system noise,

mounting of the valve directly to the pump is not rec-

ommended.

3. Provide sufficient clearance around the valve to facilitate

removal or repair.

4. Valve should be installed in the direction of the flow

arrows on the valve body.

5. 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.
