4. సంస్థాపన

Follow these steps for proper installation of the Zurn Wilkins 34-NR3XLDU Pressure Reducing Valve. Refer to local plumbing codes for specific requirements.

1. ఇన్‌స్టాలేషన్ ప్రాంతాన్ని సిద్ధం చేయండి:
   • Turn off the main water supply to the building.
   • Open a downstream faucet to relieve pressure and drain water from the lines.
   • Identify the location for the new pressure reducing valve. Ensure there is sufficient space for installation and future maintenance.
2. Flush Supply Line:
   • Before installing the valve, flush the supply line to remove any loose dirt, scale, or debris that could damage the valve's internal components.
3. Install Valve In-Line:
   • The valve body has an arrow indicating the direction of water flow. Install the valve so the arrow points in the direction of water flow towards the building.
   • The valve can be installed in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal).
   • Use appropriate tools to connect the valve to your plumbing system. Ensure all connections are secure but do not over-tighten. The double union FNPT connections facilitate easy installation and removal.
4. నీటి సరఫరాను పునరుద్ధరించండి:
   • Slowly turn on the main water supply, checking for any leaks at the connections.
   • Open downstream faucets to purge air from the system.

5. Setup: Adjusting Pressure

The Zurn Wilkins 34-NR3XLDU valve is factory set to approximately 50 PSI. You can adjust the outlet pressure within a range of 15-75 PSI.

1. Attach Pressure Gauge: Connect a reliable pressure gauge to a downstream hose bib or test port to monitor the outlet pressure.
2. Loosen Locknut: Locate the adjustment screw on top of the valve. Loosen the locknut securing the adjustment screw.
3. ఒత్తిడిని సర్దుబాటు చేయండి:
   • కు పెరుగుతుంది outlet pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise (into the bell housing).
   • కు తగ్గుదల outlet pressure, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (out of the bell housing).
4. Verify Pressure: After each adjustment, open a downstream faucet briefly to verify the correct pressure setting on your gauge.
5. Tighten Locknut: Once the desired pressure is achieved, tighten the locknut to secure the adjustment screw.

6. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు

Once installed and adjusted, the Zurn Wilkins 34-NR3XLDU valve operates automatically to maintain a consistent downstream pressure, protecting your plumbing system. No further user interaction is typically required during normal operation.

• The valve continuously monitors and adjusts the water pressure entering your home.
• It is designed to reduce water usage and extend the life of pipes, faucets, and appliances by preventing high-pressure damage.

7. నిర్వహణ

Regular maintenance ensures the continued efficiency and reliability of your pressure reducing valve.

• వార్షిక తనిఖీ: It is recommended that the valve be inspected annually by a qualified licensed plumber to verify correct pressure setting and overall condition.
• Strainer Screen Cleaning: The integral stainless steel strainer screen may require periodic cleaning, especially in areas with high sediment in the water supply. To clean:
  1. ప్రధాన నీటి సరఫరాను ఆపివేయండి.
  2. Relieve downstream pressure.
  3. Carefully disassemble the threaded bell to access the strainer screen.
  4. Clean the screen of any accumulated debris.
  5. Reassemble, ensuring all seals are properly seated and connections are secure.
• గుళిక భర్తీ: The cartridge-loaded design allows for easy replacement of internal components if wear or damage occurs. Consult a qualified plumber for cartridge replacement.

8. ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

If you experience issues with your pressure reducing valve, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• High Downstream Pressure:
  • ఉష్ణ విస్తరణ: If pressure rises overnight or when hot water is used, it may be due to thermal expansion in the hot water heater. This is a normal phenomenon and typically requires an expansion tank. The pressure reducing valve is not designed to prevent thermal expansion.
  • Improper Adjustment: Re-check the pressure adjustment screw setting using a pressure gauge (refer to Section 5).
  • Debris in Valve: The valve may be fouled by debris, preventing it from closing completely. Clean the strainer screen and inspect the cartridge (refer to Section 7).
  • అరిగిపోయిన భాగాలు: Internal components may be worn. A repair kit or replacement cartridge may be needed.
• Low Downstream Pressure/Flow:
  • Improper Adjustment: The valve may be set too low. Adjust the pressure setting (refer to Section 5).
  • Clogged Strainer: The integral strainer screen may be clogged with debris, restricting water flow. Clean the strainer screen (refer to Section 7).
  • Inlet Pressure Too Low: Ensure the incoming main water supply pressure is adequate.
• లీక్‌లు:
  • వదులుగా ఉండే కనెక్షన్‌లు: Check all connections for tightness. Do not over-tighten.
  • దెబ్బతిన్న సీల్స్: Gaskets or O-rings may be damaged or improperly seated. Inspect and replace if necessary.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified licensed plumber or Zurn customer support.
