1 Use of product
Use product for clean and dry indoor vacuum applications under the conditions indicated in chapter «Technical data» only!
Other applications are only allowed with the written permission of VAT.
1.1 Technical data see product data sheet
(product data sheet on request)
2 Installation
Do not lift the valve at the actuator! The valve may get damaged
2.1 Unpacking
Make sure, that the delivered components are according the order.
Visually check the quality of the components.
If something of the delivery is not as expected please immediately contact VAT.
Notice:
Please do not throw away the original packaging. Packaging my useful in a case of service to return the components to
VAT.
2.2 Installation into the system
The valve seat side is indicated by the symbol " " on the connection flange.
2.3 Tightening torque for flange screws
2.3.1 Mounting with centering ring
Tighten mounting screws of the flanges uniformly in crosswise order. Observe the maximum torque levels in the following
table. Higher tightening torques deform the valve body and can lead to an improper function of the valve. ATTENTION: Do
not install the flange screws over the maximum specified depth. A flange screw which is installed over the maximum depth
may result in a damage of the valve!

2.3.2 Mounting with O-ring in groove
Tighten mounting screws of the flanges uniformly in crosswise order. Observe the maximum torque levels in the following
table. Higher tightening torques may damage the threads in the valve body and can lead to an improper function of the
valve. ATTENTION: Do not install the flange screws over the maximum specified depth. A flange screw which is installed
over the maximum depth may result in a damage of the valve!

2.4 Admissible forces
Forces from evacuating the system, from the weight of other components, and from baking can lead to deformation and
malfunctioning of the valve. Stress has to be relieved by suitable means, e.g. bellows sections.

2.5 Connections
2.5.1 Compressed air connection at standard valve
Connect compressed air only if:
- valve has been installed into the vacuum system
- moving parts cannot be touched
Compressed air pressure (min. - max. overpressure): 5 - 7 bar / 75 - 100 psig
Use only clean, dry or slightly oiled air!
With solenoid:
1. Connect compressed air to the <IN>port of the
solenoid (internal thread R 1/8“, 1/8“ NPT for USA)
Without solenoid:
1. Connect compressed air to the <IN>port of the
actuator (internal thread M5)
Solenoid delivered separately :(External solenoid):
(solenoid is not attached to valve)
1. Connect the <A>port of the solenoid with the <IN>
port of the actuator
2. Make sure that a plug is installed at the <B> port of
the solenoid
3. Connect compressed air to the <IN> port of the
solenoid (internal thread R 1/8“, 1/8“ NPT for USA)
