install lower diaphragm case (5) securing it with cap 
screws (14) tightening in a sequential manner (note 
location of notch in relation to valve body).

7.   Install adjustor key cylinder (25) on the pin located on 

the valve shaft. Replace O-ring on temperature control 
rod (18) and insert so adjustor key is centered in slot 
and notch on control rod fits with groove pin in adjusting 
sleeve (27). Install circlip (23) and locking ring (21).

8.   Install, in order, the control valve spring (10), spring 

guide washer (16), diaphragm plate (11), diaphragm 
(13), O-ring (9), shouldered washer (8), and jam nuts (7), 
on main valve stem. Position diaphragm over holes and 
notch on lower case prior to tightening the jam nuts.

9.   Install upper cover (6) and be sure notches in lower 

cover, diaphragm and upper cover line up. Install bolts 
and tighten sequentially.

10.  Install valve on frame.

11.  Install sensing tube (46) and Victaulic fittings. Check all 

fittings for tightness.

12. 

 

Refer to start-up procedures for temperature 
adjustment.

3.3 Heat Exchanger Inspection Disassembly

The heat exchanger coil is readily accessible for inspection 
and cleaning without disturbing the steam or water piping.

Procedure

1.   Remove plug to drain the casing.

2.   Remove all base plate nuts (93 or 94).

3.   Lift off the casing (80 or 81), being careful not to damage 

the gasket (84 or 85).

4.   If a leak in the tubing is suspected, water pressure can 

be turned on. Any leaks should be easily seen with the 
unit still in place.

To Clean the Coil

Depending on local water conditions, scale deposits from 
hard water can form inside the heat exchanger coil. The 
coil can be cleaned in place using an acid pump cleaning 
system employing the following procedure:

1.   Remove the two cast bronze elbow manifolds from 

the heat exchanger by disassembling the four Victaulic 
couplings.

2.   Attach the 3/8” nipple supplied with the acid cleaning 

system adaptor kit to one of the adaptors.

3.   Insert this adaptor into the heater connection closest to 

the center of the exchanger.

 

Note:

 the 3/8” nipple must extend up into the exchanger.

4.   Secure the adaptor with one of the Victaulic couplings 

removed in Step 1.

5.   Connect the other adaptor to the remaining exchanger 

connection with a Victaulic coupling.

6.   Connect the acid hoses, pump and reservoir.

7.   For proper cleaning, the acid must be pumped through 

the exchanger in the direction shown in Fig 1 below. 
The 3/8” nipple avoids gas pockets in the top of the 
exchanger coil and must be on the outlet connection of 
the cleaning system.

3/8” nipple must
be on return line
to acid reservoir

8.   After cleaning is complete, the coil should be flushed 

with water before reconnecting the manifolds.

 

Note:

 For acid preparation, cleaning and safety 

procedures, refer to the instructions supplied by the 
acid manufacturer.

If Removal of the Coil is Necessary

1.   Disconnect water piping and remove the manifold nuts 

and lock rings.

2.   Lift off the coil assembly (78 or 79), being careful not to 

damage the manifold gaskets. 

3.4 Re-assembly

Procedure

1.   Replace manifold and baseplate gaskets.

2.   Check that the tabs on the manifold lock rings fit into 

the base plate slots. These keep the manifold-coil 
assembly from turning when tightening the manifold 
nuts.

3.   Be sure the bottoms of the manifolds are seated in 

pockets located inside the casing.

4.   Install and tighten manifold nuts.

5.   Install casing and tighten bolts sequentially.

6.   Check nuts for tightness after an hour or two and again 

after 24 hours of operation.
