Major Components
1. Valve Top: A high strength metal die cast top which is secured to the valve body by eight stainless
steel screws.
2. Valve Body: A high strength metal die cast housing.
3. Inlet: Female 1 ½" NPT inlet for connection to water source.
4. Vacuum Breaker Port: Used to prevent back-siphon of water to course.
5. Valve Bottom: High strength ABS plastic bottom which is secured to a valve body with 6 stainless
steel screws.
6. Outlets - Allows for slip and glue connection to 1 ½" PVC pipe.
Cam Replacement Instructions
Replacement cams are available to increase or decrease the number of outlets to be used on the 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve. 6400 Series four outlet
valves have interchangeable cams for two, three or four zone operation. 6600 Series six outlet valves have interchangeable cams for ve or six zone operation.
To replace cam, rst remove valve top by removing eight valve top retaining screws. Remove two cam retaining screws which hold cam on the underside of the valve
top.
Insert replacement cam into valve top, ensuring that the wide notch on came is aligned with notch on valve top, and secure with two cam retaining screws.
Replace top, ensuring body seal is in place.
Valve Installation Instructions
Prior to installation of 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve, make sure that the system is designed using adequate pipe sizes and control valves to ensure maximum
performance of the valve.
For installation with large terrain elevations, or applications with high lift requirements such as overhead systems in greenhouses, the valve should be installed at the
highest point in the system, or check-valves should be installed near the valve in the elevated lines to prevent the back ow of water from the higher locations to the
lower zones.
When connecting the lines to the valve outlets, ensure that the correct cam is installed. See diagram for proper zone hookup of outlets.
Do NOT turn the valve upside down when gluing the lines into the open valve outlets. Glue may run down into the valve and interfere with valve operation. Allow glue
to dry for at least two hours before operating or testing the valve. For best results, use a multipurpose glue which is compatible with ABS plastic.
To seal off any unused outlets, install a piece of PVC pipe at least six inches in length to the outlet and cap the pipe. This will allow additional zones to be added eas-
ily at a later time. Make sure proper cam is installed for number of zones to be used.

Pump Fed Application
For direct pump-fed installations, the 6000 Series Automatic Multizone Valve is directly connected to the discharge side of the pump and is cycled from one zone to
the next by turning the pump off and on. See the Active Zone Diagram below in Figure 1.

Troubleshooting and Service Checklist
Problem Cause Solution
Valve does not change
or cycle to next zone
or outlet.
Debris or foreign objects prevent-
ing proper movement of stem and
disk assembly.
• Remove valve top and check for foreign
objects. Clean build-up from walls as
necessary.
• Check for freedom of movement of stem and
disk assembly up and down over the center
pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may
build up on the pin and hold stem and disk
assembly down. Clean pin and again check for
freedom of movement.
Disk may have expanded and is
rubbing against inside walls of
body.
• Replace disk and clean build-up from walls of
valve as necessary.
Restriction of flow causing pres-
sure in valve to build up, prevent-
ing valve from cycling.
• Be sure that all operating outlets are not
capped and that the flow to operating zones is
not restricted in any manner.
• The backflow of water from uphill lines may
be preventing the valve from cycling properly.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high
point of the system, a check valve should be
installed near the valve in the outlet line that
runs uphill from the valve.
Water comes out of all
the valve outlets.
Stem and disk assembly not seat-
ing properly on valve outlet.
• Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum of
15 GPM is required to properly seat the disk.
• Remove the valve top and clean the inside
walls as necessary to ensure that nothing is
interfering with the up and down movement of
the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
• Make sure that the operating outlets are no
capped and that the flow to the operating
zones is not restricted in any manner.
• Replace disk if necessary.
Valve skips outlets or
zones.
This will case the valve to cycle
quickly several times, skipping one
or more zones.
• The stem and disk assembly is being advanced
past the desired outlet.
• Ensure that the correct cam for the desired
number of zones is installed and that the out-
let lines are installed to the correct outlet ports
of the valve.
