These instructions are valid for all valves as specied in the Valve identication chart below.
Installation
BEFORE COMMENCING ANY WORK, READ THIS INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY!
Design limitations and technical data for each valve are found in the Product description.
Installation of IMO AB valves does not require special skills. However, these instructions presume that the
work is carried out by experienced tters.
Failure to comply with these instructions
may cause damage and personal injury!

Identification of safety instructions
Non compliance of safety instructions
identified by the following symbol -
could affect safety for persons.
Safety instructions where
electrical safety is involved,
are identified by:
Safety instructions which shall be considered for
reasons of safe operation of the valve unit and/or
protection of the valve unit
itself are marked by the sign: ATTENTION

All work carried out on the valve has to be
performed in such a manner that risks for
personal injury are observed!
Transport and storage
Always protect the valve against ingress of water and other impurities. Store the valve in a clean, dry and
warm environment. The valve is delivered with the internals oiled and with protective covers over the pipe
connections. These covers should remain in place for as long as possible during the mounting and installa-
tion procedure.

Mounting
The valve can be mounted in any position, horizon-
tally or vertically. It should be mounted as close as
possible to the unit it shall protect or control. It is
preferred that the outlet connection is led back to the
tank. See g. 1.
In any case the return connection should not be
connected to the pump suction line as this might
result in overheating and too high volume of free gas
entering the pump. If long pipes are connected to
the valve the friction losses in the pipes might inter-
fere with the valve performance in which case bigger
pipe dimensions should be considered.
When handling liquids that may harm skin
use gloves and/or protective clothing.
When handling liquids which may involve
re hazards appropriate precautions to
avoid danger are to be taken.
Pressure testing and ushing
The system must be ushed and pressure tested
before connecting the valve. If corrosive liquid, such
as water is used for the test, the system must be
thoroughly drained, dried and protected against cor-
rosion after having been ushed.
Oil leakage may make the oor slippery
and cause personal injury.
Deaeration
In installations with positive head on the outlet port,
the valve must be deaerated at start, or whenever
it can be assumed that the valve has been emptied
(see g 2).
Pipe connections
The pipe work should be installed and supported so
as not to exert any signicant load and transfer it on
the valve housing.
The pipe work should be tight in order to avoid leak-
age and inltration of foreign particles and/or air.
Fig. 2
If operating temperature exceeds 60°C
(149°F), appropriate measures to avoid
burn injury shall be provided.
Use hearing protections whenever high
noise can be expected from pump, motor
and/or environment.

Start-up
Before starting
Check that all valves necessary for the operation
are fully open and set the pressure to minimum by
turning the set screw CCW.
Starting
Start the pump (or system).
Deaerate the valve and slowly increase the pressure
to the desired value by using the set screw.
In horizontal installations with the outlet downwards
and in vertical installations this is done by opening
the deaeration plug on the spring housing a few
turns and when liquid is coming out, closing the plug.
In horizontal installations with the outlet upwards the
deaeration will be done automatically.
If the valve does not work properly see ”Trouble
shooting”.
- The pressure relief valve is set
too low.
- Counter pressure in the pump
discharge line is too low due to a
major leakage.
- The valve piston of the pres-
sure relief valve is stuck in open
position.
- The valve is too small.
- Improper valve spring.
Pressure too low
What to doProblem Cause
Pressure too high
Pressure is uctuating
”Hunting”
Pressure accumulation too big
Pressure drops below set value
when overow increases
- The pressure relief valve is set
too high.
- The valve is too big.
- Trapped air in the valve
- Too high viscosity.
- Liquid too cold.
- Valve internals damaged due to
wear or corrosion.
- The throttle screw is not tuned to
the system.
- The throttle screw is not tuned to
the system.
Re-adjust the pressure relief
valve.
Check the components in the
discharge line inclusive the
recipients.
Check the valve. See under
”dismantling”.
Contact your IMO AB representative.

tive.
See ”Starting”
The compensation in the valve is
too high for the conditions. The
Compensator piston must be
adjusted. Contact your IMO AB
representative.
Run the system till operating tem-
perature is reached. If problem
still remains, see above.
Open the valve. See under ”Dis-
mantling”.
Adjust the throttle screw 647 CW.
