lever.

  NOTE: Place cover over PIBV2 to ensure that actuating lever 

does not interfere with cover. If actuating lever interferes with 

cover, remove lever and break off additional length at breakaway 

point. Refer to Figure 7.

8. Open the valve to the full open position and tighten screw 

to hold actuating arm in position. (Actuating arm length will 

adjust slightly as valve is opened.) Check to ensure that in 

the full open position the actuating arm is not resting on the 

nipple. Do this by depressing the actuating cam to further 

stretch the spring, ensuring that more travel is available when 

the valve is open. If there is no travel, damage may occur to 

PIBV2A actuating arm. Some slight alteration of the valve 

stop setting may be necessary to ensure that no damage 

occurs.

9.  Carefully close valve and note the number of handle revolu-

tions until the switch trips. The switch must trip within 

1

5

 of 

the total travel range of the valve.

Reversing The Action Of PIBV2A

1.  Loosen the 3 phillips screws on the top of the black switch 

enclosure so that the switch enclosure is loose and free to 

move (see Figure 5).

2.  Slide the switch enclosure away from the conduit entry 

toward the actuating pivot arm as far as possible and tight-

en the 3 screws to secure the enclosure. (Ensure that switch 

enclosure remains oriented away from the conduit entry as 

screws are tightened.)

3.  Grasp the spring at the center and lift it over the actuating cam 

so that it seats on the opposite side of the actuator (see Figure 

5).
