INSTALLATION

APOLLOPRESS

ball valves are bi-directional and are a quick, convenient way to connect mating tube or pipe. They are

compatible with all standard press tools and jaws. They may be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs without regard to

flow direction and without regard to stem orientation. Special considerations must be taken with respect to pipe line

expansions and contractions and the media expansions and contractions within the piping system. Adequate clearance for

the press tools must also be considered when planning an installation.

ball valves contain "LEAK BEFORE PRESS" EPDM sealing elements with SILICONE FREE NSF61

lubricant. Please confirm service complies with the ratings listed for the valve. Corrosive service conditions may damage or

cause material failure so review of valve materials is recommended prior to installation.

Preparing the Tube

1.) Cut the desired length of tubing using a tubing

cutter positioned squarely.

2.) De-burr the inside and outside diameter edges of

the tube with a rounded file or de-burring tool. This will

prevent damage to the sealing element during

insertion.

3.) Clean the tube of all dirt, chips, oil, grease or

foreign matter.

Note: Tubing with stamping marks or scratches on

the OD, as shown in figures 1 and 2, may cause

leakage past the valve sealing element and should

be avoided. Use of a fine grade sand cloth or

Scotch-Brite™ pad can remove minor surface

imperfections.

Inserting the Tube

Make sure that the sealing elements are in place and free of dirt, oil, grease or other foreign matter. Insert the tube into the

valve using a twisting motion. Make sure that the tube is fully inserted until it stops.

Warning: Do not lubricate the seal in the valve with petroleum based lubricants as this will cause damage to the EPDM

sealing elements.

Pressing the Valve

1. Place open jaws around valve connection. Make sure the contour of

the jaw set is properly aligned with the seal bead of the valve

connection

2. Actuate press tool. The pressing cycle varies depending on the press

tool. Once a press cycle begins, and the rollers contact the jaw arms,

the tool will lock-on and automatically complete the press cycle.

3. Press the jaw arms to open jaw set. If tool malfunctions, please refer to

specific tool operator's manual.

4. Remove the press tool from the pressed connection.

Caution: Jaw set must be square to the tube and properly aligned with the

contour of the valve. Inspect the press tool to verify it is in good working

condition. Inspect the ring/jaw sets and verify that they are clean and do not

display excessive wear. For battery operated units, verify that the battery has

an adequate charge. See press tool manufacturer's operating instructions.

Warning: To avoid pinch point injury, keep hands and fingers away from jaws.

Avoid sharp edges the may have formed on the valves during the pressing operation.

Inspecting the Connection

1. Inspect the press connection for the following: Misaligned tubes, tubes not fully inserted, check depth marks, loose

connection, incorrect jaw alignment with the fitting.

2. If one or more of these problems are found, then a new section of tubing and a new valve will have to be prepared,

inserted and pressed.
