CALEFFI 535H Series Guida utente

Function

Pressure reducing valves are devices which, when

installed on water systems, reduce and stabilize the

pressure of the water entering from the water supply

main. This pressure, in general, is too high and

variable for domestic systems to operate correctly.

The 535H series pressure reducing valves, ideal for

residential and commercial applications, feature a dial

indicator with direct readout allowing easy pressure pre-

adjustment. After installation, the valve will control at the

pre-adjusted pressure setting.

The valve is constructed of DZR low-lead forged brass

and incorporates a unique noise reducing and high

flow seat design, is easily serviced with a replaceable

cartridge and has an integral stainless steel filter

(35 mesh), suitable for water systems that may

contain sediment and debris.

The valve is ICC-ES certified to ASSE 1003, CSA B356,

NSF 61, NSF 372, low lead laws and listed by ICC-ES.

It meets codes IPC, IRC and UPC for use in accordance

with the US and Canadian plumbing codes.

CAUTION: If the 535H series pressure reducing valve is not installed,

commissioned and maintained properly, according to the instructions contained

in this manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the user.

CAUTION: Make sure that all the connecting pipework is water tight.

CAUTION: When making the water connections, make sure that the

connecting pipework is not mechanically over-stressed. Over time this could

cause breakages, with consequent water losses which, in turn, could cause

harm to property and/or people.

CAUTION: Water temperatures higher than 100°F (38°C) can be dangerous.

During the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the 535H PRV,

take the necessary precautions to ensure that such temperatures do not

endanger people.

Sizing procedure

Flow velocity is recommended to be kept within 3 to 6 feet per second when calculating the

correct pressure reducing valve size. This will prevent noise in the pipes and rapid wear of

appliances.

The correct diameter of the pressure reducing valve is taken from graph 1 on the basis of the

design flow rate taking into account an ideal flow velocity of between 3 and 6 f/s (blue band).

Example:

For 8 gpm, select the ¾” size valve (see arrow on graph 1).

The pressure drop is taken from graph 2 also on the basis of where the design flow rate

intersects the curve for the valve size already selected (the downstream pressure falls by an

amount equal to the pressure drop, with respect to the set pressure at no flow condition).

Example:

For 8 gpm the Dp = 7.3 psi (see arrow on graph 2).

Installation

Before following the numbered steps listed, the installer must:

a) Be sure this pressure reducing valve is compatible with the other equipment in the system that

it may interact with or come into contact;

b) Assess and acknowledge all hazards related to the use of the this product, including potential

leakage, by installing this unit properly;

c) Install shut-off valve with pressure ports or similar equipment to measure the upstream pressure.

1) Turn all the faucets on before installing the pressure reducing valve, to flush the system and

expel any air remaining in the pipes.

2) Install shut-off valves upstream and downstream to facilitate maintenance operations.

3) The pressure reducing valve may be installed on either vertical or horizontal pipe. However, it

must not be installed upside down.

4) Close the downstream shut-off valve.

5) This mechanical pre-adjustment system, with the operating knob and pressure indicator visible

from both sides, allows the pressure reducing valve to be set to the required value in the system

prior to installation. The pressure indicator features incremental step movement, so that the

pressure can be adjusted continuously and the value displayed at 15 psi increments.

6) Set using the operating knob on the upper part of the valve. The pressure reducing valves are

factory set to a pressure of 45 psi.

7) Because the pre-adjustment dial displays in 15 psi increments, the optional downstream outlet

pressure gauge can be used to show the exact outlet pressure, which is especially useful for

applications requiring this precision.

8) After installation, the internal mechanism will automatically control the pressure, until the set

value has been reached.

9) Slowly reopen the downstream shut-off valve.

Installation recommendations

1. Installation below ground

Installation below the ground is not advisable.

2. Outdoor installation

Pressure reducing valves should not be installed outside the building unless properly protected from

freezing and the weather.

3. Water hammer

Water hammer is a common reason for pressure reducing valve failures. Specific devices should

be installed to absorb water hammer for systems with this risk.

Installation

When installing the pressure reducing valve upstream of a hot water tank, installing an expansion

tank, or similar, is recommended to absorb the increase in pressure due to the thermal expansion

of water.

When installing in large buildings, short pipes or expansion valves, and/or similar equipment, is

recommended to limit the increased pressure due to the thermal expansion of water caused by

temperature changes downstream of the pressure reducing valve itself (or downstream of the first

and second stage pressure reducing valves, if two are used).

Downstream set pressure (PSI)

Upstream pressure (PSI)

To minimize the risk of cavitation within the valve that may result in malfunctioning with erosion

of the valve sealing area, vibrations and noise, it is highly recommended to refer to the working

conditions represented in the above diagram. Due to the numerous factors and variable conditions

experienced such as system pressure, water temperature, air presence, flow rate and velocity,

which may affect the behavior of the pressure reducing valve, it is advisable that the pressure ratio

between the upstream pressure and the downstream set pressure is kept ideally to a value 2:1

and no greater than a value of 3:1 (For example, upstream 150 psi (10 bar), set pressure 75 psi

(5 bar), the pressure ratio = 150/75 = 2:1). In these conditions, the possible risk of cavitation and

malfunctioning is minimized, however this does not exclude the possible effects of the many other

variables within the system under operating conditions. If the pressure ratio exceeds the indicated

limit, the system design pressure or use of 1st stage pressure reducing valves shall be reviewed

(For example, 1st stage reducing pressure from 200 to 100 psi and then 2nd stage from 100 to

58 psi). Piping upstream and downstream of the pressure reducing valve shall be supported in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and any local authority requirements, to avoid

the creation and transfer of vibration and/or noise into the installation.

Maintenance

The pressre reducing valve must be checked and serviced to comply with applicable regulations.

Even when installed, commissioned and serviced properly, the pressure reducing valve's

internal components are subject to normal wear and tear, which may result in leaks and other

malfunctions. Check or good working order and service and clean the cartridge at least every 12

months.

The cartridge, containing the diaphragm, strainer, seat, valve plug and compensating piston,

is pre-assembled as a self-contained unit with a cover and can be removed for inspection and

maintenance. When checking, cleaning or replacing the cartridge:

1) Shut off the inlet and outlet isolation valves.

2) The downstream pressure setting can be left at the set value.

3) Remove the upper cover, using a spanner. This cover is integral with the cartridge.

4) Check and clean the filter.

5) If needed, the self-contained cartridge can be completely replaced. When the cartridge is

crewed back into the body, the pressure indicating window will return the value to the original

position.

6) Reopen the shut off valves and the pressure will return to the original set value.
