6. Reverse the order of the instructions on the previous page

to reassemble bypass check assembly.

Deringer 30G/30GX: Removing Bypass Meter

1. Using the ball valve handles, close the #2 bypass ball valve (B)

and then #1 bypass ball valve (A). (Ball valve is closed when

“T” handle is perpendicular to water flow through ball valve).

2. Using a #2 flat head screwdriver 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. FLOW

NOTICE

Maintenance of Second Dual-action Check Module

1. Use a #2 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).

attention to the proper orientation of the check module.

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 coax 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 as 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 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 4 corner bolts alternating

from one side of the valve to the other.

Close Test Cocks and Double Check All Closing/Sealing Mechanisms

1. Using the 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 30G/30GX: 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 30G/30GX: Bypass check valve cover is

tightened (F)

• Deringer 30G/30GX: Bypass meter coupling nuts are

tightened (G) FLOW
