Instructions
These instructions are for use by personnel who are responsible for the installation, operation and
maintenance of DeZURIK valves, actuators or accessories.
Safety Messages
All safety messages in the instructions are identified by a general warning sign and the signal word CAUTION,
WARNING or DANGER. These messages indicate procedures to avoid injury or death.
Safety label(s) on the product indicate hazards that can cause injury or death. If a safety label becomes difficult
to see or read, or if a label has been removed, please contact DeZURIK for replacement label(s).
Personnel involved in the installation or maintenance of valves should be constantly alert to potential
emission of pipeline material and take appropriate safety precautions. Always wear suitable protection
when dealing with hazardous pipeline materials. Handle valves which have been removed from service
with suitable protection for any potential pipeline material in the valve.
Inspection
Your DeZURIK product has been packaged to provide protection during shipment; however, items can be
damaged in transport. Carefully inspect the unit for damage upon arrival and file a claim with the carrier if
damage is apparent.
Parts
Replaceable wear parts are listed on the assembly drawing. These parts can be stocked to minimize
downtime. Order parts from your local DeZURIK sales representative or directly from DeZURIK. When ordering
parts please provide the following information:
If the valve has a data plate: please include the 7-digit part number with either 4-digit revision number
(example: 9999999R000) or 8-digit serial number (example: S1900001) whichever is applicable. The
data plate will be attached to the valve assembly. Also, include the part name, the assembly drawing
number, the balloon number and the quantity stated on the assembly drawing.
If there isn't any data plate visible on the valve: please include valve model number, part name, and
item number from the assembly drawing. You may contact your local DeZURIK Representative to help
you identify your valve.

Description
The DAT Double Acting Throttling Device is used to throttle exhausting air and allow large amount of air
to enter the system in a vacuum condition.
The DAT is used to regulate (adjust) the air exhaust on pump start-up to attain a smooth pressure
transition between the exhausting air and the operating pressure. During pump shut-off, the device will
automatically allow a large amount of air in during vacuum to protect against pipe collapse.
NOTE: The DAT is not a stand-alone device and cannot be installed directly to the pipeline. The
DAT must be installed in the outlet port (top) of the Air/Vacuum Valve or Combination Air
Valve.

Adjustment
See Figure 1 for part identification.
The setting on the Double Acting Throttling Device must be tolerable to the collapsing
pressure on the system.
Confirm that the DAT is firmly screwed to the valve outlet (top).
To adjust the DAT, close the Teflon plug (5) by turning the adjustable stem (3) clockwise to be fully
extended. Note that the device is designed so as it cannot completely close. Open the Teflon plug by
turning the adjustment stem counter clockwise, three (3) full turns.
Start pump. Listen and observe the Air/Vacuum Valve closing when water column reaches the valve. If
the valve gently closes and no surge is apparent, lock the position setting in by turning the lock nut (6)
against the cover (2).
If there is a "thunk" when valve is closing, turn the adjustable stem (3) one full turn clockwise to farther
close the devise and restrict the amount of air evacuating. Depending on the application, more than one
turn towards the closed position may be necessary. This will establish a back pressure on the rising
column of liquid to reduce shock, pressure surge and water hammer to the system.
