OPERATION:
Cla-Val Silent Check Valves operate automatically, to open...
when pump flow starts and close silently ...when pump flow
stops.
INSTALLATION:
Silent Check Valves, Wafer and Globe style must be
installed between flat faced iron or steel flanges per ANSI
B16.5 or Awwa 207, utilizing a full faced gasket to bridge the
joint between the seat O.D. (2) and the body (1) flange face.
In this manner a pressure seal at this joint is made (see
Note 1). Install the valve so that the nameplate data is plain-
ly read and the flow arrow points in the flow direction.

MAINTENANCE:
Cla-Val Silent Check Valves are ruggedly designed for years of trouble-free
service. Therefore, regular maintenance is not required. However, during
initialstart-up period the following problems may surface (due to mis-application)
that can be easily resolved:
A. No Flow thru Valve:
1. Observe that the flow arrow name plate, on the
valve body, is pointing in the direction of flow.
2. Check that the down stream shut-off valve is full open.
B. Valve Chatters:
1. Confirm that the flow velocity is a minimum 3’/Sec.
2. Check that there is a minimum of 3 diameters of
straight pipe installed up stream of the silent check valve.
C. Valve Leakage:
1. Confirm a full face gasket is installed per Note 1.

Note No. 1 - The mating companion flange I.D. must overlap the Valve seat.
This is required to achieve a seal between the seat O.D. and
The Body I.D. Interface area.

1. Shut off pump and pressure upstream and shut off isolation valve downstream
to completely isolate check valve. A skilled pipe fitter should be used for
this work.
2. Lay valve to rest on its downstream side and remove cap screws as
shown in Fig. 3. Note that 2" and 2-1/2" valves threaded seats in lieu of
cap screws.
3. Grip seat spokes by hand to pull out seats or push down the disc and
release quickly to allow force of the spring to pop out the seat.
4. With seat removed, check that all internal parts are freely removable from
valve body.
5. Examine all parts for wear/damage and order replacement PARTS KITS
as shown below.
TO REMOVE VALVE FROM PIPELINE FOR INSPECTION:
The unique seating action begins with the initial contact
between the metal valve disc and the Buna-N® Seal.
As pressure increases, Buna-N® seal is slightly com-
pressed and allows the disc to make contact with the
metal portion of the valve seat. This metal-to-metal
contact prevents any further compression of the
Buna-N® seal. (Over compression of the synthetic
seal can lead to its destruction and cause potential
leakage.)
