subject to line pressure.

2. Using the Deringer test cock wrench or a small adjustable

wrench open (A) main test cock number 4. (Test cock is

open when wrench flats are parallel to water flow through

test cock)

3. Deringer 30/30X only: Using a #2 flathead screwdriver open

bypass test cock number 2. (Test cock is open when screw-

driver slot is parallel to water flow through test cock (B))

wrench or a small adjustable

wrench open main test

cock number 2.

Closing Shutoff Valves Prior to Maintenance

1. Slowly rotate shutoff valve #2 handle clockwise to the closed

position. Flag perpendicular to flow (A).

2. Slowly rotate shutoff valve #1 handle clockwise to the closed

position. Flag perpendicular to flow (A).

NOTICE

When yellow/orange position indicator flags are parallel with the flow of water

the shutoff valves are in the open position (B). Before doing any maintenance

be sure the yellow or orange flow indicators (flags) are perpendicular to the

flow of water valve body indicating shutoff valves are in the closed position (A).

when “T” handle is perpendicular to water flow through

ball valve).

2. Using a #2 flat head screw driver open bypass test cock

#2 (D) and then open bypass test cock #1 (C). (Test cock is

open when screw driver slot is parallel to water flow through

test cock).

3. Using large adjustable pliers or a wrench, unscrew and

retract bypass meter coupling nuts (E). Remove the gaskets

(F) on both sides of bypass meter.

4. Gently remove bypass meter (G) from line. It is OK if the

bypass fittings move slightly during the removal process.

5. Reverse order of above instructions to reinstall bypass

meter. Remember to install gaskets (F) before threading

meter coupling nuts into place.

Maintenance of First Dual-action Check Module

1. Use a #2 phillips head screwdriver to remove tower

screws (A) from the first check seat (B). The double torsion

spring (C) is captured and does not need to be retained

during maintenance.

2. After removing the tower screws (A) examine the elastomer

disk (D) and check seat (E) for fouling or damage.

3. Should elastomer disk (D) need replacement unscrew disk

retainer screws (F) and remove disk retainer (G). Carefully

remove and replace elastomer disk (D). When replacing

elastomer disk (D) be certain that no air, water or debris is

trapped in the clapper (H) cavity behind the elastomer disk (D).

4. Reverse the order of the above instructions to reassemble

check.

• Elastomer disk must be flat in clapper (H) cavity before

tightening disk retainer screws (F).

• Do not cross thread disk retaining screws (F).

The diagram on the right shows the correct orientation of the

first dual-action check module when being re-attached to the

seat. In order to maintain the performance of the valve pay

attention to the proper orientation of the check module.

Maintenance of Second Dual-action Check Module

1. Phillips head screwdriver to remove tower screws (A) from

the second check seat (B). The double torsion spring (C)

is captured and does not need to be retained during

maintenance.

2. After removing the tower screws (A) examine the elastomer

disk (D) and check seat (E) for fouling or damage.

3. Should elastomer disk (D) need replacement unscrew disk

retainer screws (F) and remove disk retainer (G). Carefully

remove and replace elastomer disk (D). When replacing

elastomer disk (D) be certain that no air, water or debris is

trapped in the clapper (H) cavity behind the elastomer disk (D).

4. Reverse the order of the above instructions to reassemble

check.

• Elastomer disk must be flat in clapper (H) cavity before

tightening disk retainer screws (F).

• Do not cross thread disk retaining screws (F).

Maintenance of First Dual-action Check Module (continued)

Installing Second Dual-action Check Module

1. Insert second check module (A) into access port (B) with second

check towers (C) pointing downstream. Push second check module

(A) downstream into valve sealing ring (D) until check O-ring (E) rests

against valve sealing ring (D). Push second check module (A) into its

fully seated position by hand.

2. Alternatively place 2"x4" piece of wood cut to 5" length (F) against

the backside of the second check seat ring (G). Using a 1"x4" piece

of wood cut to 16" length (H) as a lever between access port wall the

2"x4" (F) gently move the second check module (A) into its fully

seated position.

3. Be certain second check module (A) is fully seated and check O-ring

(E) is NOT “fish mouthed” or damaged.

4. Tighten the second check retaining screws (I) ONLY AFTER the first

check module (A) has been installed.

The second check module must be fully seated to ensure

retainer screws do not bind against check seat. Binding

retainer screws against check seat will result in permanent

damage to second check modules.

Installing First Dual-action Check Module

1. Insert first check module (A) into access port (B) with first

check towers (C) pointing downstream. Push first check

module (A) upstream into valve sealing ring (D) until check

O-ring (E) is resting against valve sealing ring (D). Without

using excessive force, push the first check module (A) into

its fully seated position by hand.

2. Alternatively, using a piece of 1"x4" wood cut to 16" length

(F) as a lever between the second check seat (G) and the

first check towers (C), push the first check module (A) into

its fully seated position.

3. Be certain first check module (A) is fully seated and check

O-ring (E) is NOT “fish mouthed” or damaged.

4. Now fully tighten the first and second check retaining screws (I).

The ﬁrst check module must be fully seated to ensure

retainer screws do not bind against check towers. Binding

retainer screws against check towers will result in permanent

damage to ﬁrst check modules.

Installing Access Port Cover

1. It is best to never remove the access port O-ring (A). Should the access port

O-ring (A) become dislodged, simply insert it back into access port groove (B).

2. Slide the access port cover (C) into place being certain that access port O-ring

(A) does not become dislodged during the process.

3. Insert tapered washers (E), flat side facing up, and cover bolts (D) into tapered

cover holes (F). tapered washers (E) must be properly installed or the access

port cover (C) will not seal under pressure.

4. Use 15/16" socket wrench (G) to tighten the 4center cover bolts (D) alternating

from one side of the valve to the other. Then tighten the 4corner bolts

alternating from one side of the valve to the other.

Close Test Cocks and Double Check All Closing/Sealing Mechanisms

1. Using the Deringer test cock wrench or a small adjustable

wrench close main test cocks number 2, 3, and 4 (A). (Test

cock is closed when wrench flats on stem are perpendicular

to water flow through test cock).

2. Deringer 30/30X: Using a #2 flathead screwdriver close

bypass test cock number 1 and 2 (B). (Test cock is closed

when screwdriver slot on stem is perpendicular to water flow

through test cock).

3. Use the “T” handles to open bypass ball valve number 1 (D)

and then open bypass ball valve number 2 (C). (Ball valve is

open when “T” handle is parallel to water flow through

ball valve).

4. Double check to be certain of the following:

• All cover bolts are tightened (E)

• Deringer 30/30X: Bypass check valve cover is

tightened (F)

• Deringer 30/30X: Bypass meter coupling nuts

are tightened (G)
