GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES

• Read the IOM manual before using the valve. Comply with the manual at all times.
• The IOM manual must be available in the workplace.
• Non–compliance with the general safety measures can seriously damage human health and valve
functioning. AC.MO S.r.l. will not assume any responsibility or liability for consequential damage due
to the non-compliance with these instructions.
• The valve can be used for drinking water and clean service water. Other uses are prohibited because
they can alter the valve safety. Never use the valve in plants where the pressure is higher than the
one indicated.
• Only qualified staff can install the valve. Unqualified or underage staff cannot perform the installation.
Always use protective equipment such as safety boots, safety helmets, goggles, protective gloves,
etc... Personnel involved in the installation or maintenance of valves should be constantly alert to
possibledamages caused by an improper handling of the valve.
• Never use the valve in plants where the pressure is higher than the one indicated.
• Before performing any work on the valve, depressurize the pipeline section and ensure it is free of
hazards.
• Unauthorized, unintentional and unexpected actuation, as well as any hazardous movement caused by
stored energy (pressurized air, water under pressure) must be prevented.
• When a valve needs to be dismantled from a pipeline, fluid may emerge from the pipeline or the valve.
The pipeline must be emptied completely before the valve is dismantled. It is strictly prohibited to
disinstall any component when the system is under pressure (working) or when there is any fluid
inside.
• Statutory and local provisions as well as the safety and accident prevention regulations must be
observed and complied with at all times.
• For equipment that must be monitored, the relevant laws and regulations such as the Industrial
Code, Accident Prevention Regulations, etc. must be complied with. In addition to this, local accident
prevention regulations apply.

! Please note that if the valve closes too rapidly it can generate a water hammer in
the pipes.

PACKING
The valves are generally delivered in europallets, alternatively, in dedicated high thickness paper boxes. In
both cases, they are fastened to the pallet using bolts and covered with a polyethylene heat‐shrinking film.
The package depends on the valve dimensions and on the actuator and/or hydraulic circuit that may be
installed on the valve.
The package depends on the valve dimensions and on the hydraulic circuit dimensions.
Packing examples:

DN50....100 DN125....150 DN200....1000

BE CAREFUL! During the removal and installation of the valve, use the lifting

! eyebolts on the valves. Don’t lift up the valves using the position indicator or the
accessories and pipes installed on the valve.

! Please carefully inspect the unit for damages or discrepancies with the order upon
arrival and report a claim immediately before unloading the goods.

TRANSPORT AND STORING

Lifting the valve improperly may damage it. Lift the valves using slings (ISO 4878), otherwise, if present
on one valve, using the specific eyebolts. Make sure the slings do not interfere with electric components,
levers, counterweights and oil-dynamic components, in order to avoid damaging the system.
Please make sure the lifting tools (lift truck, slings, cranes, hooks, etc.) are adequate for the weight. Make
sure their coefficient of safety is equal or higher than the coefficient allowed by law.

! BE CAREFUL!
Before you move the valve it is necessary to consult the weight table.

! BE CAREFUL! To avoid damages, slings and cables used to lift the valve must not
interfere with any electrical elements, which could be present on the valve.

If the valve is stored for a middle or long term, it is necessary to:

• Lay the valve in a horizontal and firm position, in order to avoid capsizings which could damage things
or people.
• Store the valves in an area protected from weather conditions especially from sunlight, which could
damage the coats and the gaskets.

PUMP CONTROL & PRESSURE SUSTAINING AUTOMATIC CONTROL VALVE

MODE OF OPERATION DESCRIPTION

The automatic control valve type M042 has been specifically designed for installation on the pump
delivery pipe to prevent pressure peaks generated by starting and stopping the pump itself. The pump and
valve controls will need to be synchronized to start and stop pump operation with the valve closed. In the
event of a power failure, the valve closes immediately to prevent the return of flow.
The valve is also designed to sustain a minimum pressure upstream and/or to release excessive pressure
downstream. The pilot valve detects the pressure upstream and determines the modulation of the
principal valve that keeps the inlet pressure constant. The pilot valve is equipped with an adjusting screw
to pre-select the desired pressure. When the principal valve (in line) functions as a sustaining valve, and
the upstream pressure is lower than the calibrated pressure, the valve modulates to the closed position
maintaining the pre-selected value independently of the pressure variation or of the water demand of the
system.

INSTALLATION
1. Leave appropriate space to facilitate the assembling/dismantling and maintenance operations.
2. Before the installation, wash the pipes properly to eliminate any residual. Not washing the pipes
properly can compromise the valve functioning.
3. Install a resilient seat gate valves (A and B) upstream and downstream the valve in order to facilitate
maintenance operations.
4. Install the valve on the pipeline, checking the arrow printed on the valve must follow the water flow.
Use the eyelet on the cover to lift or lower the valve.
5. The valve should be installed in a horizontal position with the cover up; other positions are also
possible but must be verified with our Technical Office.
6. Make sure the valve position permits to easily dismantle the hydraulic circuit or its components.
7. After the installation, check there are not damages to any joint, pipe or tools.

STATIC TESTS ONCE INSTALLED (with pump running)

OPEN valve static test:
1. Close ball valves 1 - 17 - 12 to isolate the pilot control system. This prevents impurities from entering
the control circuit.
2. Fully open the main valve by removing the cap on the cover or by loosening a junction or opening ball
valve 17.
WARNING! Check this procedure does not cause any damage to the pipeline.
3. Check that the flanged junctions, pipe fittings, etc. do not leak
4. Reassemble the cap on the cover and/or tighten the junctions.

CLOSE valve static test:

1. Close the ball valve 12, downstream the pilot, and open ball valves 1 - 17.
2. Eventually, allow air to exit from the valve cover by loosening the connection situated on the top of it.
Close the connection. The valve will be now stuck in the “close position” with the pipeline in pressure.
3. If necessary, tighten the bolts and check the cover does not leak.

COMMISSIONING (pump control)

WARNING! To calibrate the M042 valve a constant flow must pass through the

! system. Therefore, make sure that there is a flow of water by opening a hydrant, an
overflow valve, a by-pass, etc.

1. Close the main valve by opening the ball valves 1 and de-energizing the solenoid valve 9 by
disconnecting it from the power supply. Temporarily start the pump to make sure the valve is securely
closed. After the pump has stopped, reconnect the solenoid valve to the power supply.
2. Check the intervention of the closing limit switch 11. When the valve is almost closed, the indicator
rod must activate the limit switch to stop the pump.
3. Start the pump; the main valve should begin to open.
4. De-energize the solenoid valve 9. The main valve must begin to close. When almost completely closed,
the valve indicator will have to stop the pump using the limit switch.

! NOTE: Pump stop must be calibrated so that it occurs before the main valve is
completely closed.

5. Simulate the sudden stop of the pump by disconnecting the power supply unit; the main valve must
close quickly.

COMMISSIONING (pressure sustaining)

WARNING! To calibrate the pressure sustaining valve a sufficient upstream pressure

! is needed. Start a pump or open upstream gate valves to reach the sufficient
upstream pressure.
1. Close the main valve closing and opening the ball valves as previously explained.
2. The solenoid valve must always be energized. To reduce the opening speed of the main valve, turn the
needle valve regulator 6 clockwise and vice versa to increase it.
3. To reduce the closing speed of the main valve, turn the needle valve regulator 5 clockwise and vice
versa to increase it.
4. Turn the calibration screw, sited on pilot valve 10, clock wise until it reaches the total blocking
position. Open ball valve 12: the main valve will remain closed if the downstream pressure is lower
than the max. calibration pressure of the pilot.
5. Calibration of the pressure relief:
5.1. Slowly, turn pilot calibration screw 10 counter-clockwise until the main valve starts opening. Keep
on turning the calibration screw slowly stopping at each half rotation to reach the equilibrium. Select
the upstream pressure according to the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge 18. Tighten the lock
nut on the calibration screw.
5.2. To check the valve functioning, decrease the upstream pressure using other devices. The valve
should close slightly keeping the upstream pressure constant.

MAINTENANCE
The quality of the material used to manufacture our valves and control circuits avoids abnormal wear of
the internal components for many years. However, we recommend checking the valve as follows:

After 5 months operation:

• Control and clean the strainer (if present) installed on the main pipeline and the strainer on the pilot
circuit of the valve.
• If blocked, the strainer on the pilot circuit takes the main valve gradually out of order.

NOTE: Clean the strainer regularly following the specific timetable of the plant. This timetable
cannot be predetermined but must be decided only when the valve is on duty.

After 12 months operation:

• Control and clean the strainer (if present) installed on the main pipeline and the strainer on the pilot
circuit of the valve.
• Remove the control circuit.
• Remove the screws on the valve cover, remove the cover, and take out the obturator completely.
• Check for any eventual damage of the rubber components, such as: the lip seals of the piston and the
seal gasket to schedule the maintenance intervention.
• Assemble the obturator, the valve cover and tighten the bolts properly.
• Put the valve back into service.

This kind of check allows scheduling the maintenance required by the valve, taking into account the real
working conditions.
NOTE: Before opening the filter, depressurize the control circuit.
