5. ການຕິດຕັ້ງ
The Zurn Wilkins 34-600XL valve is designed for straightforward installation. The fiber union gasket and threaded bell contribute to reduced labor time.
5.1 ຂັ້ນຕອນການຕິດຕັ້ງກ່ອນ
- ປິດການສະໜອງນ້ຳຫຼັກໃຫ້ແກ່ຊັບສິນ.
- Drain the water lines to relieve pressure.
- Identify the appropriate location for the valve, typically after the main shut-off valve and before any branch lines.
5.2 ການຕິດຕັ້ງວາວ
- Ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body aligns with the water flow.
- Connect the inlet side of the valve to the incoming water line using appropriate fittings. The fiber union gasket facilitates a quick and secure connection.
- Connect the outlet side of the valve to the downstream plumbing system.

6. ການດໍາເນີນງານ
The Zurn Wilkins 34-600XL valve is factory-set to a standard pressure, but it can be adjusted to meet specific system requirements.
6.1 ການປັບຄວາມດັນ
- Locate the adjustment screw on the top of the valve.
- To increase downstream pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
- To decrease downstream pressure, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
- Use a pressure gauge (not included) installed downstream to monitor the pressure during adjustment.
- Make small adjustments and check the pressure until the desired setting is achieved.
7. ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pressure reducing valve.
7.1 ການເຮັດຄວາມສະອາດຕົວກອງ
The valve includes a stainless steel strainer to prevent debris from entering the system. Periodically clean the strainer, especially in areas with sandy or debris-laden water.
- Turn off the main water supply and relieve system pressure.
- Locate the separate-access cover for the strainer (typically a cap at the bottom of the valve body).
- Remove the cap and carefully extract the strainer screen.
- Rinse the strainer screen under clean water to remove any accumulated debris.
- Inspect the screen for damage. Replace if necessary.
- Reinsert the clean strainer screen and securely fasten the access cover.
