Installation Instructions

B. Teflon tape acts as a lubricant and greatlyreduces the pipe wrench turning force re-quired to seal the threads.

Take care not to overtighten threads asthis can damage the valve.

C. Good piping practice dictates that piping beindependently supported, so that valve bodiesare not placed in a bind. In addition, largevalves may require support.

D. Clean pipe lines of foreign materials beforeinstalling valve into line.

For new installations, a gas filter or strainer shall beinstalled in the fuel gas piping to protect thedownstream safety shut-off valves.

per NFPA 86-4-2.4.3 (1999)NFPA 86C-4-2.4.3 (1999)NFPA 86D-4-2.4-3 (1999)

If normal inlet pressure to the fuel pressure regula-tor immediately upstream from the valve exceedsthe valve’s pressure rating, a relief valve shall beprovided and it shall be vented to a safe location.

per NFPA 86-5-7.1.7 (1999)NFPA 86C-5-7.1.7 (1999)NFPA 86D-5-7.1.7 (1999)

E. Mount valve so that open/shut windowindicator [1] will be visible to your operatingpersonnel. The open/shut window indicatorshould never face downward. With Maxonelectro-mechanical top assemblies, the motoraccess side plate [2] should always bevertical to the ground. Valves are usuallyinstalled in horizontal piping; however, other

1. Read complete instructions before proceedingand do not discard packing materials until any/allloose items are located. Also, make sure that theinstallation of the Maxon valves will be in compli-ance with all applicable governmental, insuranceand/or agency requirements or codes, such asNFPA-70, National Electric Code, CSA C22.1,Canadian Electric Code, etc.

2. General considerations:A. Prior to shipment, each valve is operated

electrically and cycled at rated and 1-1/2rated pressure while being leak tested. EveryMaxon valve is operationally tested andmeets the requirements of ANSI B16.104Class VI Seat Leakage when it leaves ourplant.

B. Inspect your valve for any shipping damage.Contact Maxon Corporation with the valve’sserial number (printed on the valve's name-plate) for replacement and/or repair parts.

C. Read the nameplate on your valve. Thisgives the maximum pressure, temperaturelimitation, voltage requirements and serviceconditions of your specific valve. DO NOTexceed nameplate ratings.

D. Select mounting location carefully. YourMaxon valve is designed to operate for manyyears if installed in a location that is cool,clean and dry.

3. Pipe the valve in the direction of the flow arrow[3] on the valve body. The Maxon valve body canshut off flow in one direction only.A. Remove all thread and flange protectors

before installing valve in your service line.

orientations are acceptable, subject to theabove limitations. The top assemblies of allMaxon valves are field rotatable to allowinstallations involving conflicts with thesemounting restrictions.

F. Main system shut-off should always use amanual leak-tight upstream fuel cock.

G. Time lag between valve action and fluid flow(or flame response) is reduced if valve islocated near the burner (or outlet).

4. Wire the valve in accordance with all applicablecodes and standards. Supply voltages must agreewith valve’s nameplate voltage within -15%/+10%AC or DC for proper operation. For electricalwiring schematics, refer to appropriate Maxoncatalog literature and/or the wiring schematicdiagram affixed inside your valve’s access coverplate or in the terminal block cover housing.A. The Maxon valve must be electrically

interlocked with your safety-limit devices inaccordance with all applicable codes, stan-dards, and the authority having jurisdictionover the safety requirements for your overallsystem installation. Normally, Maxon valvesare electrically wired in series with all of yoursafety-limit devices. Therefore, any onedevice can cause the valve to react. Eachvalve was production tested when manufac-tured. If it now appears inoperative, makesure it is being powered properly from andthrough your control circuit.

B. Maintain integrity of Maxon top assemblyenclosure by using dust and water-tightelectrical connectors. Use cable-sealing gripsand strain-relief loops for any cord or cable.Use internal sealing materials on all conduitconnections. Moisture can have a harmfuleffect on valve internals if permitted to enterthrough wiring connectors. Make sure that allaccess cover plates are in place and securelyfastened. All cover screws should be tight-ened using an alternate cross corner tighten-ing pattern to the values shown below.

While all covers are torqued at time of produc-tion testing, torque should be recheckedperiodically to ensure adequate sealingprotection.

5. Pre-operational exercising:Prior to initial fluid flow start-up and with upstreammanual cock still closed, operate the valveelectrically for 10-15 cycles. This not only pro-vides an electrical check, but also wipes valvebody disc and seat free of accumulated foreignmatter.

Top Assembly Rotation

Maxon valves can and should be ordered in a con-figuration compatible with planned piping, but if open/shut indicator window is not visible and/or valve orienta-tion is not proper, the top assembly can be rotated in90° increments around the valve body centerline axisby the following procedure:1. Shut off all electrical power and close off up-

stream manual cock.2. Remove wiring access cover plate [2] and

disconnect power lead wires. (Tag carefully for laterre-assembly.)

3. Remove conduit and electrical leads.4. Note physical position of any signal switch

actuator wands on auxiliary signal switches (seeswitch arrangement sketch).

5. Unscrew the two body bolts [4] screwed up fromthe bottom to 1/4 inch. DO NOT completely re-move. These bolts secure the valve body [3] to thevalve’s top assembly housing [5].

6. Gently lift the top assembly [5] (not more than1/4" in height); just enough to break the sealbetween the valve body assembly and the rubbergasket adhering to the bottom of the top housing.

WARNING: LIFTING TOO FAR MAY DISLODGESOME SMALL PARTS INSIDE THE TOPHOUSING, REQUIRING COMPLEX RE-ASSEMBLY AND RETESTING BY TRAINEDFACTORY PERSONNEL.

Top Assembly Rotation (cont'd.)

7. Remove the two body bolts [4] screwed upfrom the bottom (were partially unscrewed instep 5).

8. Carefully rotate top assembly to the desiredposition in a plane parallel to the top of the valvebody casting. Rotate the top housing about 30°beyond this position, and then rotate it back.Reposition the top housing back down onto thevalve body casting. This should align the open/shut indicator with its window and provide properalignment of the internal mechanism.

9. Realign holes in valve body casting with thecorresponding tapped holes in the bottom of thetop assembly housing. Be sure the gasket is stillin place between the body and top housing.

10. Reinsert the body bolts up from the bottomthrough the body and carefully engage threads ofthe top assembly. Tighten securely.

11. Reconnect conduit and electrical leads, thencheck that signal switch wands are properlypositioned and that open/shut indicator movesfreely. Failure to correct any such misalign-ment can result in extensive damage to theinternal mechanism of your valve.

12. Energize valve and cycle several times fromclosed to full open position. Also electrically tripthe valve in a partially opened position to provevalve operates properly.

13. Replace and secure side cover access plateand place valve in service.

Four top assembly positions are available formost Maxon valves. When looking at the open/shutwindow indicator of an electro-mechanical valveassembly, the motor (for motorized version), or theoperating handle (for manual version), will be on theright side of the top assembly. The valve body is onthe bottom. From this view, the unidirectional valve

Operating Instructions

Electro-mechanical manual reset valves requiretwo positive actions to open: a half rotation ofhandle to latch internal mechanism, and a reversedhalf rotation of handle to open valve. This refers tonormally closed valves. With normally open valves,the procedure is the same, but the valve body position(i.e., open or closed) is opposite to the normallyclosed version.

Remotely located manual reset valves may beequipped with wheel-and-chain assembly. Instructionsto operate the valve are on hand grip. Locate counter-weight overhead at pipe level and hand grip can bebrought down to convenient operating personnelheight.

Normally closed motorized valves begin open-ing cycle immediately upon being powered; motorruns only until full open position is reached. Normallyopen valves begin to close immediately, and motorruns until fully closed position is reached.

Refer to appropriate catalog bulletin and specifi-cation page for operating sequence applying to yourspecific valve. Never operate valve until all essen-tial allied equipment is operative and any neces-sary purges completed. Failure of electro-mechani-cally operated valve to operate normally indicates thatit is not powered. Check this first! Then checkinternal holding solenoid and/or motor operator.

Main system shut-off should always be accom-plished with an upstream leak-tight manual fuelcock.

All Maxon valves react within a fraction of asecond when de-energized (can drop out if electricalpower is interrupted for less than 1/2 cycle [8 ms]).

All electro-mechanical manual reset valves maybe operated manually when solenoid is electricallyenergized, but electrical tripping is recommendedfor normal shut-downs.

Operator should be aware of and observe characteristic opening/closing action of the valve. Should operationever become sluggish, remove valve from service and contact Maxon for recommendations.

Maintenance Instructions

Maxon valves are endurance tested far in excess ofthe most stringent requirements of the various ap-proval agencies. They are designed for long life evenif frequently cycled, and to be as maintenance-freeand trouble-free as possible.

Every Maxon valve is operationally tested andmeets the requirements of ANSI B16.104 Class VISeat Leakage when it leaves our plant.

Top assembly components require no fieldlubrication and should never be oiled.

Auxiliary switches, motors and solenoids, may bereplaced in the field.

WARNING: Do not attempt field repair of valvebody, top assembly or motor drive unit. Anyalterations void all warranties.

Valve leak test, performed with valve in line asprescribed by jurisdictional authorities, is stronglyencouraged and should be done on a regularlyscheduled basis. In rare instances where valve showsleakage, perform Pre-Operational Exercising (seebelow) and retest. If leakage does not stop, removevalve from service.

Pre-operational exercising: Prior to initial fluidflow start-up and with upstream manual cock stillclosed, operate the valve electrically for 10-15 cycles.This not only provides an electrical check, but alsowipes valve body disc and seat free of accumulatedforeign matter.

Maxon valves are designed to be used withclean fluids. If foreign material is present in thefuel line, it will be necessary to inspect thevalve to make certain it is operating properly. Ifabnormal opening or closing is observed, thevalve should be removed from service. Contactyour Maxon representative for instructions.

Insurance authorities agree . . .. . . that the safety of any industrial fuel burning

installation is dependent upon well-trainedoperators who are able to follow instructions andto react properly in cases of emergency. Theirknowledge of, and training on, the specificinstallation are both vital to safe operation.

Safety controls may get out of order without theoperator becoming aware of it unless shutdownsresult. Production-minded operators have beenknown to bypass faulty controls without reportingthe trouble.

Continued safe operation of any installation isthen assured only if the plant managementcarefully develops an exact schedule for regularperiodic inspection of all safety controls, insistingthat it then be rigidly adhered to.

A main gas shut-off cock should be locatedupstream from all other fuel train piping compo-nents and used to shut off all flow of fuel forservicing and other shutdowns.

All safety devices should be tested at leastmonthly* and more often if deemed advisable.Periodic testing for tightness of manual or motor-ized shut-off valve closure is equally essential.

Auxiliary Signal Switches

Field Installation InstructionsNOTE: Instructions below are written for normallyclosed valves. For normally open versions (STO-M, STO-A, Fig. 1 & 2), reverse switch nomencla-ture. (VOS becomes VCS and vice versa.)

General: Shut off fuel supply upstream of valve, thende-energize valve electrically.– Remove top or side cover to provide access, being

careful not to damage gasket.– Compare with illustrations at right to identify YOUR

valve type.To replace existing switches:– Note wand position and mounting hole location

carefully, then remove 2 screws and lift existing switch.– Install replacement switch in same mounting holes on

bracket and verify correct wand position.– Replace existing wiring one connection at a time,

following original route and placement.To add switches to existing valve:– Check illustrations at right. If your valve uses a switch

mounting bracket as in Fig. 1 & 2, mount switches tobracket using the mounting holes appropriate for valvetype and size.

– Position bracket so VCS wand just touches top ofactuator, then move downward slightly, depressingwand until switch clicks, then tighten mounting screwsto hold this position.

– Pin bracket by drilling 1/8" dia. holes 1/4" deep intobracket mounting pad through drive pin holes, then tapdrive pin in until flush.

– Route wires to wiring compartment as shown, thencomplete wiring connections and clean out metaldrilling chips from previous procedure.

– Cycle valve, checking switch actuation points carefully.(VCS actuates at top of stem stroke, VOS at bottom.)Simultaneously the valve body must be tested forswitch continuity and seat leakage. Bend VOS switchwands slightly if necessary to insure valve is openingfully.

– Replace gasket and cover, then return valve toservice.

Installation InstructionsReview and comply with all general valve installa-

tion instructions provided separately. (See sketchbelow.)1. Mount both valves in fuel line with center to center

spacing as originally specified, and blocking valve(without handle) downstream of main valve (withhandle).

2. Check valve alignment to be certain that operat-ing wheels lie in the same plane.

3. Remove tape from the wheel of the main valveand unwind the attached chain. Do not removethe screw holding chain to wheel; it has beenfactory positioned to assure correct alignment. Donot remove tension spring attached to one end ofchain or the wooden block insert which preloadsthe spring.

4. Take free end of chain and loop it around thewheels of both main and blocking valve as shownin sketch below. Depending on the specific valveseries and arrangement, tension spring may belocated either above or below the wheel center-line.

5. Draw free end of chain and tension spring to-gether so that as much slack as possible iseliminated, then insert the open eye of the spring"S" hook through the link in the chain that willmost nearly maintain this position.

6. Crimp the "S" hook shut around the chain link,then cut and discard excess chain.

7. Remove spring preload wood block insert fromthe tension spring, and verify that the chain isdrawn tight.

8. Rotate the operating handle of the main valvefully to latching position for your particular valve,then hold handle firmly in this position whileperforming the next few steps.

9. Rotate blocking valve wheel fully counter-clock-wise until it strikes a stop (it will slide within theloop of chain).

10. Still holding main valve wheel in place, moveblocking valve wheel approximately 1/4 to 1/2inch back in the clockwise direction. Insert the#10-24 X 1/2" screw (furnished) through the chainlink that lines up with the tapped hole on bottomof blocking valve wheel, then fasten securely.

11. Verify that the valves are wired in parallel asshown in wiring schematic on page 6121.

To add wheel & chain assembly toexisting tandem valves:1. Verify that both valves are in the same top

assembly position (TO or AW). Rotate if neces-sary. (See top assembly rotation instructions onpages 6100-S-3 and 6100-S-4.)

2. Bend handle of main valve outward about 25°.3. Cut off handle of blocking valve at outer wheel

face.4. Remove hardware holding main valve wheel in

place and mount new wheel and spacer to theexisting wheel with new hardware provided.

5. Cut chain loop to the desired length and secure toboth wheels.

Overhead Wheel & Chain Assembly

Overhead wheel and chain assembly allowsoperation of a manual reset valve in an otherwiseinaccessible overhead location. A wheel is mountedonto the handle of the valve. The attached chain isweighted on one end and has a paddle handgrip onthe other.

Once the valve is electrically energized, pullingdown on the paddle will open normally closed ver-sions or close normally open versions.

Maxon valve's free-handle design permits valve totrip to its rest position on any power interruption.

Wheel and chain assembly includes a length ofchain to position the paddle handgrip slightly belowpipe centerline. A standard length of 7 feet of chain isincluded with CP and larger valve sizes and 5 feet isincluded with all other valves. Extra chain (in one footincrements) may be specified to fit your specificlocation.

NOTE: Overhead wheel & chain can only be mountedon swinging gate valves with the top assemblyposition TO.

CAUTION: Valve leak testing should be under-taken only by trained and experienced personnel.Instructions provided by the company and/orindividuals responsible for the manufacture and/oroverall installation of complete system incorporat-ing Maxon valves take precedence over theseprovided by Maxon. If Maxon instructions conflictwith any codes or regulations, contact MaxonCorporation before attempting this procedure.

Valve leak test should be performed on aquarterly basis to assure continued safe andreliable operation. Each valve should be checkedwith available line pressure. Absolute zero leakagemay not be obtained in the field. Any valve thatexceeds the allowable leakage, as set forth by yourlocal codes or insurance requirements (15 bubblesper minute), should be removed from service andyour Maxon representative should be contacted.

Every Maxon valve is operationally tested andmeets the requirements of ANSI B16.104 ClassVI seat leakage when it leaves our plant.

Suggested leak test procedure fordouble-blocking shut-off valves (withoutvent line)(a) Shut down combustion system per manufacturer’s

recommended procedure.(b) Close manual valves A and B.(c) Visually inspect to verify that shut-off valves #1

and #2 are closed.(d) Remove the 1/4” pipe plug from downstream side

of shut-off valve #1. Install leak test apparatus.Safely vent any trapped gas pressure.

(e) Open manual shut-off valve A, then close leaktest apparatus. Insert tube into a container ofwater just below the surface.

(f) Open test apparatus and test valve for leakage.As a guideline, valve should be tested for 2minutes per inch of pipe diameter. Large diameterpipes or long piping runs between shut-off valvesmay need additional testing time.

(g) If valve testing indicates leakage exceeding 15bubbles per minute, perform pre-operationalexercising as outlined on Page 6100-S-2 andretest the valve. If valve continues to exceedallowable leakage limit, remove from service andcontact Maxon.
