Installation
Protect inside of valve from dirt, chips and moisture
during installation. Be sure to remove protective plugs
from valve before installation. Install the valve in an
accessiblelocation forservicing.DONOT INSTALLTHE
CHECKVALVEATTHEINLETOF A SOLENOIDVALVE,
OR A REGULATOR WITH AN ELECTRIC SHUT-OFF
FEATURE. DO NOT INSTALL AT THE INLET OF AN
OUTLET PRESSURE REGULATOR IN A SYSTEM
WHERE LIQUID MAY BE TRAPPED BETWEEN TWO
VALVES. Check Valves when used with such valves
should always be installed at the outlet of the valves.
The valve must be installed with the flow arrow on the
valve pointing in the direction of permissible fluid flow
through the valve.
TheType CK1 are for installation on horizontal pipelines
only.The valve must be installed with the cover on top.
Tighten the flange bolts evenly.Before putting the valve
into operation check the manual opening stem. For
automatic operation, turn the stem counterclockwise as
far as it goes; turn clockwise for manual open position.
The CK1 Check Valves may be closed-coupled to R/S
ControlValves and most hand valves by using a Special
R/S Male Adapter Ring.

Safe Operation (See also Bulletin RSBCV)
People doing any work on a refrigeration system must
bequalified andcompletely familiar withthe systemand
the Refrigerating Specialties Division valves involved,
or all other precautions will be meaningless. This
includes reading and understanding pertinent
Refrigerating SpecialtiesDivisionProduct Bulletins, and
Safety Bulletin RSBCV prior to installation or servicing
work.
Where cold refrigerant liquid lines are used, it is
necessary that certain precautions be taken to avoid
damage which could result from liquid expansion.
Temperature increase in a piping section full of solid
liquid will cause high pressure due to the expanding
liquidwhich canpossiblyrupture agasket,pipe or valve.
All hand valves isolating such sections should be
marked, warning against accidental closing, and must
not be closed until the liquid is removed. Check valves
must never be installed upstream of solenoid valves, or
regulators with electric shut-off, nor should hand valves
upstream of solenoid valves or downstream of check
valves be closed until the liquid has been removed.It is
advisable to properly install relief devices in any section
where liquid expansion could take place.
Avoid all piping or control arrangements which might
produce thermal or pressure shock.
For the protection of people and products, all refrigerant
must be removed from the section to be worked on
before a valve, strainer, or other device is opened or
removed.FlangeswithODS connections arenot suitable
for ammonia service.
