CHECKOUT

1. Make sure the valve stem operates smoothly before installing the valve linkage and the

actuator.

2. If the stem does not operate smoothly, it may indicate that the valve was twisted or

crushed during installation or that the stem was bent by rough handling. These

conditions may require that the valve be replaced.

3. After the piping is under pressure, check the valve body and the connections for leaks.

4. After the valve linkage and the actuator are installed, check their operation.

a. Power the actuator and run the valve to the stem down position. Make sure the

linkage and valve stem move freely. At the stem down position, the valve should

shut off tightly.

b. For spring return actuators, allow the actuator to spring return to the stem up

position. Again, the valve stem and linkage should operate smoothly. At the stem

up position, the valve should be in its full open position.

Water System

Maintenance

All heating and cooling systems are susceptible to valve and system problems caused by

improper water treatment and system storage procedures. These guidelines are provided to

help avoid valve and water system problems resulting from improperly treated water or

storage procedures in cooling and hot water systems, and to obtain maximum life from TAC

valves.

Durability of valve stems and packings is dependent on maintaining non-damaging water

conditions. Inadequate water treatment or filtration, not in accordance with chemical

supplier/ASHRAE handbook recommendations, can result in corrosion, scale, and abrasive

particle formation. Scale and particulates can result in stem and packing scratches and can

adversely affect packing life and other parts of the hydronic system.

To maintain non-damaging conditions, follow these guidelines:

• Clean the system prior to start up. Use a nitrite or molybdate-based treatment program.

• Use filtration equipment where needed.

• Properly store off-line systems and monitor water treatment results using corrosion test

coupons.

• Follow the advice of a water treatment professional.

• Consult EN-205, Water System Guidelines Engineering Information, F-26080, for

further details.
