CLA-VAL 81-02/681-02 Owner's manual

INTRODUCTION
The Cla-Val Model 81-02/681-02 Check Valve is an automatic
valve designed to close drip tight when outlet pressure exceeds
inlet pressure. It is a hydraulically operated, pilot controlled,
diaphragm type globe or angle valve. When a pressure reversal
occurs, higher downstream pressure is applied to the cover cham-
ber through one control tube line and valve closes tightly. Upon
resumption of normal pressure, cover chamber pressure is relieved
through the other control tube line. The valve opens for flow. This
valve is equipped with adjustable opening and closing speed con-
trols.
INSTALLATION
1. Allow sufficient room around the valve to make adjustments, and
for disassembly.
2. It is recommended that gate or block valves be installed on both
ends of the 81-02/681-02 to facilitate isolating the valve for preven-
tive maintenance.
NOTE: BEFORE VALVE ASSEMBL IS INSTALLED, PIPE
LINES SHOULD BE FLUSHED OF ALL CHIPS, SCALE AND
FOREIGN MATTER.
3. Place the valve in the line with flow through the valve in the
direction indicated on the inlet nameplate or by flow arrows. Check
all fittings and hardware for proper makeup and that no apparent
damage is evident. Be sure main valve cover nuts/bolts are tight.
4. Cla-Val valves operate with maximum efficiency when mounted
in horizontal piping with the cover UP; however, other positions are
acceptable. Due to size and weight of cover and internal compo-
nents of six inch and larger valves, installation with the cover up is
advisable. This makes periodic inspection of internal parts readily
accessible.
5.Caution must be taken in the installation of this valve to insure that
galvanic and/or electrolytic action does not take place. The proper use
of dielectric fittings and gaskets are required in all systems using dis-
similar metals.
OPERATION AND START-UP
1. A Cla-Val X101 Valve Position Indicator may be installed in the
center cover port to provide a visual indication of the valve stem
during start-up.
2. Close the two speed control valves by turning full clockwise.
Open both valves 1/4 to 1/2 turn counterclockwise for an initial
setting.
3. With pressure in the piping, slowly open the gate or block valves
on both ends of the Cla-Val 81-02/681-02 Check Valve. Carefully
loosen the center cover plug of the Hytrol Valve, or the vent valve
of X101 Valve Position Indicator (if installed), and bleed air from
valve. Retighten cover plug or vent after all air is expelled.
4.To check the operation of the valve lower the pressure at the
valve inlet and the valve will close. Return the inlet pressure to a
higher pressure than the outlet pressure and the valve will open.
5. The opening and closing speed of the main valve is controlled
by the speed control valves. The opening control will be on the
smaller of the two control lines.
MAINTENANCE
1.Cla-Val Valves and Controls require no lubrication or packing
and a minimum of maintenance. However, a periodic inspection
schedule should be established to determine how the fluid handled
is affecting the operation of the valve assembly. Minimum of once
per year.
2. Repair and adjustment procedures of the Cla-Val Hytrol valve
and control components are included in a more detailed IOM
manual. It can be downloaded from our web site (www.cla-
val.com) or by contacting a Cla-Val Regional ales Office.
3. When ordering parts always refer to the catalog number and
stock number on the valve nameplate.
