”-42” SERIES 1900 FOOT VALVE OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION This manual will provide you with the information to properly install and maintain the valve to ensure a long service life. The Series 1900 Foot Valve is ruggedly constructed with bronze or stainless steel trim to give years of trouble free operation. The valve should be installed in a vertical suction pipe carrying clean water.
PAGE 3
VALVE CONSTRUCTION The valve should be mated to ANSI Class 125# flatfaced flanges equipped with resilient gaskets. When ring gaskets are used, the bolt material shall be ASTM A307 Grade B or SAE Grade 2 Carbon Steel. Higher strength bolts may only be used with full-face gaskets. The standard Series 1900 Foot Valve is constructed of rugged cast iron with a bronze or stainless steel trim. See the specific Materials List submitted for the order if other than standard cast iron construction.

3. Verify that the test pressure is less than the cold working pressure (CWP) shown on the valve nameplate. MAINTENANCE The Series 1900 Foot Valve requires no scheduled lubrication or maintenance. If flow is stopped or pump cavitation becomes apparent, it may be necessary to flush debris from the valve inlet by backflushing the valve or physically cleaning the outside surfaces of the basket. 4. Drain wet well with pressure on valve and check basket flange seal.
