FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE IN-
STALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
The compact zone valves are 2-way straight through, available
as a normally open or normally closed valve. The zone valves
come with or without a SPST normally open auxiliary switch and
featureaswing-typeballvalve,whichisdesignedtorotatewhich
causes the ball plug to seat on a different section of its surface
on each closing. They are available in several piping options,
sweat, NPT, inverted flare and flare fitting end connections for
standard copper tubing, for use with 2-wire thermostats. These
zone valves provide a low cost system of zoned temperature
control wherever hot water is the heating medium. In new
construction, the piping system can be laid out to produce any
number of independent temperature controlled zones by use of
these valves. In existing buildings, a variety of zone combina-
tionscanbeobtained, dependingontheparticularpipinglayout.
Eachzonerequiresonezonevalveandonethermostat, butonly
one circulator is normally required for the entire system.

Available Separately
PRECAUTIONS
This compact zone valve is intended for use with a low voltage
system; do not use this zone valve with a millivolt or line voltage
system. If in doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line or
low voltage, have it inspected by a qualified heating contractor
or electrician.
CAUTION
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage,
disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or
circuit breaker box, until installation is complete.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
Allwiringmustconformtolocalandnationalelectricalcodesand
ordinances.
WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltages.
Higher voltages will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
CAUTION
To prevent injuries from scalding always drain system
beforeinstallingorremovingvalve.Toavoidgeardamage
operate lever slowly.

OPERATION
Automatic (AUTO) (N.C. valve) (Fig. 9)
On a call for by the thermostat, the valve opens and its auxiliary
contacts close, providing a low voltage auxiliary circuit for
starting the burner and/or circulator. After an elapsed time of
about 10 seconds, the valve reaches the full open position. The

Use manual lever in case of power failure or for servicing the
system. If power fails while valve is open, valve will return to the
closed position. To manually open the valve, move the manual
lever to the "MAN" position and lock in place. The valve will
return to the "AUTO" position when the valve is electrically
energized. The auxiliary contacts close in the "MAN" position.
The manual lever is not operational on normally open (N.O.)
valve models.

CHECKING THE SYSTEM
Turn on the electricity. If gas fired, be sure pilot is lit. Then check
each zone separately as follows:
1. Turn thermostat to highest setting. Zone valve for that zone
will open and furnace burner will come on as auxiliary circuit
is made on valve motor.
