3. Valve Features
• TheART22FODRVismanufacturedinaccordancewithBS7350.
• TheART22isusedforbalancingtheowinheating,coolinganddomesticwatersystems.
• TheART22isacombinedmanualpre-settingvalvewiththefollowingfeatures:
    •Fixedmeasurementorice;
    •Suppliedwith2measuringbinderpoints;
    •Handwheelwithshut-offfunctionandclear360°reading;
    •Digitalscalewithlockfunction.
• Madeof“DZR”(DezincicationResistant)brass.
• ThisarticleismadeincompliancewiththequalitymanagementrequirementsofISO9001
standard.
• AllarticlesaretestedinaccordancewiththeEN12266-1standard.
• Itcanbeusedinawidevarietyofsectors:heating,airconditioning,water,sanitary 
 systemsandgenerallywithanynon-corrosiveliquid.
4. Valve Installation
• Thevalveshouldbesitedtoensureeaseofaccess.
• Itistheresponsibilityoftheinstallertoensurethevalveissuitableforserviceconditions
 e.g.,temperature,pressure,andservicemedia.
• Wheretted,removeangeprotectors/dustcapsandallotherpackagingmaterial.
• Careshouldbetakentoensurethesurfacenishofthevalveisprotectedduring
installation.
• Thevalvesmaybeinstalledinhorizontalorverticalpipework.
• Thevalveisuni-directionalandshouldonlybeusedforowinthedirectionshownonthe
valve.
• Suitablegaskets/sealingmaterialshouldbeusedduringinstallation.
• ART22FODRVshouldbeinstalledwithaminimumof5pipediametersupstream
 and2pipediametersdownstreamaspertheimagebelow,thisistoensureowaccuracy
is maintained during the commissioning stage.

 andthevalvecanbeclosedforisolationandthenreopenedtothepreviouslysetposition.
• Thisowratecanbemeasuredusingasuitabledifferentialmanometer.Thisinterfaces

5. Regulating
• Toclosethevalverotatethehandleclockwiseuntilitstops.Usingthedatareportedinthe
 attacheddiagrams,theowcanberegulatedbyrotatingthehandlecounter-clockwise
 untiltherequiredowrateisreached.
• Thisowratecanbemeasuredusingasuitabledifferentialmanometer.
• Thisinterfaceswiththebalancingvalvethroughtwosensorsinsertedinthebinderpoints
 (Kvs)placedbeforeandafterthevalve’sgaugeddiaphragm.
• Themainscalewithvaluesfrom0to4onthehandle,indicatestheturnsforopeningthe
