FlowCon General Instruction 11/2024 FlowCon Unimizer ® The valve is available with fixed female-by- female threaded connections or flange connec- tions depending on size. P/t plugs without collar. FlowCon Wafer The wafer is available for double flanged con- nections for all model sizes. P/t plugs without collar. FLOWCON VALVE CONNECTION TYPES: Valve Threaded Ends: Thread standard is either ISO 228, which is a straight metric thread (compatible with BS-2779) or NPT threading standard, depending on the product number ordered. Valve Flanged Ends: Flange ends are compatible with DIN steel flanges PN10, PN16, PN25 and/or PN40 ac- cording to EN1092-1 or ANSI steel flanges class 150 and/or 300 according to ASME B16.5. de- pending on product ordered. Flanges are not supplied by FlowCon. FLOWCON VALVE ACCESSORIES: Two different types of pressure/temperature fittings (p/t plugs) are available upon request for valves with body tappings, i.e. p/t plugs with- out collar and p/t plugs with collar . Suitable p/t plug choice will depend on the valve. Alterna- tive to p/t plugs, the valve body can be ordered with plugs for the body tappings. Extended p/t plugs (without collar) are standard included with FlowCon Wafer. For all p/t plugs (with or without collar incl. ex- tended p/t) proper prope size is max. Ø2.8 mm. Before finger mounting p/t plugs without collar in the body tappings (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN), please seal the threads of the p/t plugs. Thread sealing is described elsewhere in this General Instruction. P/t plugs with collar as well as plugs are sealed by a gasket. After finger mounting, gasket sealing requires 5-7 Nm torque. Threaded union end connections (male or fe- male) for union end connected valves must have the union nuts and the end connections should be removed for installation. Soldered union end connections (sweat) for union end connected valves must have the END CONNECTIONS REMOVED FROM THE HOUSING BEFORE SOLDERING. THIS EN- SURES THAT THE O-RINGS AND INTERNAL PARTS ARE NOT DAMAGED BY HEAT. Capillary tubes are not to be damaged. Therefore, do not force the tube to compress or bend with a bending radius below 20 mm (3/4”). Capillary tube for inserts (ACC00210) Capillary tube is supplied with fixed M8 fitting and O-ring at each end and an M8-1/4” adap- tor. Ensure that the O-ring is greased and cor- rectly placed before finger mounting the capillary tube (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE O-RING). Thread sealing and O-ring lubrication are described elsewhere in this General Instruction. Capillary tube for PIM™-DP (F212) Capillary tube is supplied with fixed angled 1/4” NPT fitting (F4039-14) at one end going to the FlowCon Partner Globe with an adaptor (ACC6584). The other tube end is to be as- sembled in the 1/4” NPT fitting already mounted on the FlowCon PIM™-DP. Thread sealing is described elsewhere in this General Instruction.
