Installation
1. Confirm the flow direction of pipe line must meet the arrow of Surge anticipating valve
2. Enough space for adjustments and disassembly.
3. Install the Isolation valves in both inlet and outlet of Surge anticipating valve.
4. Install the Strainer before Surge anticipating valve
5. The valve must be installed horizontally.
Operation
1. Confirm the discharge line is full, open fully the downstream isolating valve and turn off the pump.
Make sure that the line remains full.
2. Loose the top plug of main valve, release the air in the surge valve, till water comes out. Tight the
plug again.
3. Check the needle valve #3A, Fully close the needle valve, then open the needle valve just 1/2 turn.
4. Close the ball valve #6-2
5. Loose the Adjust bolt of LP#4 and Tight the adjust bolt of HP#5
6. Fully close the inlet gate valve, Record the pressure from gauge (The data is basic pressure.
Example 5 bar)
7. Loose the Nut behind PONX ON/OFF Pilot
8. Slowly open the needle valve #3C, till the pressure (from pressure gauge) close to the setting of LP
#4 (70%-80% of basic pressure. if the basic pressure is 5 bar, the LP is 3.5-4.0 Bar )
9. Tight the adjust bolt of LP#4, till the water leak from the Nut LP&PONX ON/OFF Pilot. Lock the jam nut of
adjust bolt.
10. Open the inlet gate valve.
11. Loose the adjust bolt of HP #5, till the water leak from the nut behind HP #5. Continue to Tight the
adjust bolt 1 to 1.5 Turn. Lock the jam nut of adjust bolt.
12. Lock the behind LP&PONX ON/OFF Pilot

Maintenance
1. It need to check the valve and pipe line periodically every months, no matter leakage of pilot
systems cause of crash or loosen.
2. It’s easy to handle leakage outside, just tight the fitting.
3. If the valve doesn’t work, there may be possible reasons, analyze the problem, and solve
the problem. See Table1 Trouble shooting:
Inspection or maintenance can be accomplished without removing the valve from the line. Repair kits
with new diaphragm and disc are recommended to be on hand before work begins.
Disassembly
1. Close upstream and downstream isolation valves and independent operating pressure when used to
shut off all pressure to the valve.
2. Loosen tube fittings in the pilot system to remove pressure from valve body and cover chamber. After
pressure has been released from the valve, remove the controls and tubing. Note and sketch position
of tubing and controls for re-assembly.
3. Remove cover bolts and remove cover. Pull cover straight up to keep from damaging the integral seat
bearing and stem.
4. Remove the diaphragm and disc assembly from the valve body. With smaller valves this can be
accomplished by hand by pulling straight up on the stem. On large valves, an eye bolt of proper size can
be installed in the stem and the diaphragm assembly can be then lifted with some tooling on spot. Take
care not to damage the stem or bearings.
5. The next item to remove is the stem nut. Examine the stem threads above the nut for signs of mineral
deposits or corrosion. If the threads are not clean, use a wire brush to remove as much of the residue as
possible. Attach a good fitting wrench to the nut and give it a sharp “rap” rather than a steady pull.
Usually several blows are sufficient to loosen the nut for further removal. On the smaller valves, the
entire diaphragm assembly can be held by the stem in a vise equipped with soft brass jaws before
removing the stem nut.
The use of a pipe wrench or a vise without soft brass jaws scars the fine finish on the stem.
6. After the stem nut has been removed, the diaphragm assembly breaks down into its component parts.
Removal of the seal from the disc holder can be a problem if the valve has been in service for a long time.
Using two screwdrivers inserted along the outside edge of the disc usually will accomplish its removal.
7. The only part left in the valve body is the seat which ordinarily does not require removal. Careful
cleaning and polishing of inside and outside surfaces with sandpaper. If, however, it is badly worn and
replacement is necessary, it can be easily removed.
Reassembly
1. Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly procedure. When the diaphragm assembly has been
tightened to a point where the diaphragm cannot be twisted, the seal should be compressed very slightly
by the disc guide. Excessive compression should be avoided.
2. MAKE SURE THE STEM NUT IS VERY TIGHT. Attach a good fitting wrench to the nut and give it a
sharp “rap” rather than a steady pull. Usually several blows are sufficient to tighten the stem nut for final
tightening. Failure to do so could allow the diaphragm to pull loose and tear when subjected to pressure.
3. Carefully install the diaphragm assembly. Take care not to damage the stem or bearing.
4. Put spring in place and replace cover. Make sure diaphragm is Iying smooth under the cover.
5. Tighten cover bolts firmly.
6. Test Valve before re-installing pilot valve system. Due to the weight of the diaphragm assembly this
procedure is not possible on valves 8” and larger. On these valves, the same determination can be made
by carefully introducing a low pressure into the valve body with the cover vented. Looking in cover center
hole see the diaphragm assembly lift easily without hesitation, and then settle back easily when the
pressure is removed.
2. To check the valve for drip-tight closure, a line should be connected from the inlet to the cover, and
pressure applied at the inlet of the valve. If properly assembled, the valve should hold tight with a low
pressure.
3. With the line connected from the inlet to the cover, apply full working pressure to the inlet. Check all
around the cover for any leaks. Re-tighten cover nuts if necessary to stop leaks past the diaphragm.
4. Remove pressure, then re-install the pilot system and tubing exactly as it was prior to removal. Bleed
air from all high points.
Trouble shooting:
The following troubleshooting information deals strictly with the Main Valve. This assumes that all other
components of the pilot control system have been checked out and are in proper working condition.
All trouble shooting is possible without removing the valve from the line or removing the cover.
