Red Valve 2600 Series User manual

Red Valve’s Series 2600 pinch valve and Series
2633 small diameter inline check valve are
the simplest valves available to industry. They
have only four parts and require little or no
maintenance. These valves are designed with
threaded end connections for easy installation
and removal on small lines up to 3” in diameter. A
spare replacement sleeve should be ordered when
the valve is placed in service.
NOTE: 2” and 3” PVC Series 2600’s may have
hose clamps on the body of the valve. These
clamps must be loosened when removing the
sleeve.
IMPORTANT
Please take a moment to review this manual. Before performing any maintenance on the valve be sure
that the pipeline has been depressurized. The improper installation or use of this product may result in
personal injury, product failure, or reduced product life. Red Valve Company can accept NO liability resulting
from the improper use or installation of this product. If you have any questions or problems, please call the

* Note: Closing pressures are to be added to line pressure.
3. PRESSURE REGULATORS
To avoid over-pressurizing the valve when closing, a
pressure regulator should be installed. Pressure in ex-
cess of 50 psi above pipeline pressure can tear the rub-
ber at the ange. Higher pressures require the sleeves to
be reinforced with berglass short threads.

INSTALLATION
Before installing, be sure the pipe threads are clean. A
sealing material such as pipe dope can be used. Direction
of ow is indicated on the 2633. Be sure that it is in the
proper orientation before installing.

1. INSTALLING VALVE
Use a wrench to tighten the valve by turning the end caps.
Turning the body can damage the rubber inside. Once in-
stalled, if a small gap exists between the body and end cap,
do not tighten further. This can twist the rubber ange inside
and cause damage.

2. AIR SUPPLY PORT
Air supply is connected to the 1/4” NPT port. This port is
normally plugged on the 2633, but can be used as a drain
or piped as a ush port. Use the chart below to determine
the correct air pressure needed to close the 2600.

The ridge molded into
the rubber ange must
be pressed into the
groove in the seat. use a
dull blade to pry up one
edge of the ange and
snap the ange into place. Firmly push into place around the
entire ange.
2633: The new duckbill
sleeve is simply inserted
into the body. Make sure
that the ridge on the
rubber ange properly ts
into the groove in the seat
by rmly pressing into
place around the entire ange.
4. REINSTALL END CAPS
To reinstall the end caps, lubricate the exposed rubber ange
and tighten the end cap until snug. Do not overtighten or the
rubber ange may twist or tear. Caps will not bottom out on
the valve body.
1. REMOVE VALVE
Remove the valve from the pipeline using a wrench to turn the
end caps. Do not grip the valve body! A spare replacement
sleeve should be placed on order when this valve is placed in
service.
2. REMOVE SLEEVE
2600: Unscrew both end caps from
the body. Pry one side of either rubber
ange out of its seat with a dull blade or
screwdriver. Fold this edge over into the
center of the sleeve and push the ange
fully through the seat. Pull the sleeve out
of the body.
2633: Unscrew the end cap on the inlet side of the valve. Pry
one side of the rubber ange up using a screwdriver or dull
blade and pull up to remove the duckbill sleeve from the valve
body. The other rubber seal will only need to be changed if
seriously worn.
3. REPLACE SLEEVE
2600: Lubricate the new sleeve
with soapy water. Pinch the sides
of one ange together and squeeze
through the seat. Push the sleeve
through the valve body. Carefully
pull the ange through the opposite
seat. Do not use sharp tools or
screwdrivers.
