FlowCon General Instruction 1B95011 - 01/2024 FlowCon Wafer The wafer is available for double flanged connec- tions for all model sizes. P/t plugs without collar. male) for union end connected valves must have the union nuts and the end connections should be removed for installation. 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 flang- es PN10, PN16, PN25 and/or PN40 according to EN1092-1 or ANSI steel flanges class 150 and/ or 300 according to ASME B16.5. depending on product ordered. Flanges are not supplied by FlowCon. FLOWCON VALVE ACCESSORIES: Two different types of pressure/temperature fit- tings (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. Soldered union end connections (sweat) for union ned connected valves must have the END CONNECTIONS REMOVED FROM THE HOU- SING BEFORE SOLDERING. THIS ENSURES 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 (ACC00110) Capillary tube is supplied with fixed M8 fitting and O-ring at each end. Ensure that the O-ring is greased and correctly placed before finger mounting the capillary tube in the FlowCon QuickDisc ® (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE O-RING). If the capillary tube is to be mounted in a FlowCon Partner Ball or other valve with 1/4” (ISO 7/1) tapping, a 1/4” to M8 adaptor is available (ACC00121). Thread sealing and O-ring lubrication are described else- where 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 assem- bled in the 1/4” NPT fitting already mounted on the FlowCon PIM ™ -DP. Thread sealing is de- scribed elsewhere in this General Instruction. 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 1-3 Nm torque.
