User Manual

Installation Instructions
Watts Flow Measurement/Balancing Valves are available in the straightway pattern with threaded or solder end
connections. All tapered pipe threads conform to FEDERAL SPECS H28. Valves conform to ANSI B16.18 and
ANSI B16.22. Maximum Pressure/Temperature Ratings: 300 psi (20.7 bar) - 250°F (121°C).
1. Install valve on return line of equipment to be balanced or as shown on the plans.
2. For maximum accuracy, the flow measurement valve should be located in an unrestricted straight pipe
run so that no fittings (elbow, valve, tee, etc.) is closer to the measurement valve than 5 pipe diameters
upstream and 2 pipe diameter downstream. If a balancing valve is located downstream from a circula-
tion pump, allow a distance of ten (10) diameters between the pump and balancing valves.
3. Series CSM-61M1 and LF-CSM-61M1 flow measurement valves are bi-directional and should be
installed to ensure ease of hooking up meter, adjusting setting, and enabling memory device. A
1
⁄8" (3mm)
NPT plugged port is installed on each measurement valve
1
⁄2" - 1" (15-25mm) and can be used as a drain
port if needed.
4. Solder end valves are designed to be soft soldered into lines without disassembly. Solders such as 95/5
tin antimony 460°F (238°C) can be used, however, extreme caution must be used to prevent seat damage.
Higher temperature solders will damage the seat material.
5. Remove indicator knob prior to soldering. Replace after soldering is completed.
6. Apply heat with flame directed away from the center of the valve body. Excessive heat can harm the seats.
7. Heat solder joints only to the point were solder will flow properly. Excessive heat may distort brass castings.
Flow Measurement Instruction
1. Loosen memory screw.
2. Turn indicator knob to open position on indicator plate. Do not force past this point.
3. Connect, vent and prepare the differential gauge. Refer to instructions furnished with the gauge.
4. After initial pressure differential reading is taken, refer to flow rate charts to obtain flow rate based on
pressure differential and valve setting. If flow rate is in excess of that specified, turn indicator knob towards
closed position, noting pressure drop and valve setting and determining new flow rates from flow rate
chart. Once correct flow rate settings has been established, slide memory screw counter-clockwise
towards closed side of indicator plate until memory stop ring hits indicator plate. Do not force beyond
this point. Tighten memory screw. Refer to Figures 1 and 2. The unit or system has now been balanced
and the memory set.
5. After memory is set, disconnect differential gauge.
