Excess Flow Valves - Installation

Excess Flow Valves - Example Installations

Excess flow valves permit the flow of liquid or vapor in either direction. The flow is only controlled in one direction (the direction of the arrow stamped on the valve). If the flow in that direction exceeds a predetermined rate, the valve automatically closes.

The valve disc is held in the open position by a spring. When the flow creates a pressure drop across the valve disc that overcomes the preset load on the spring, the valve disc moves to the closed position. It remains closed until the force on both sides of the valve disc are approximately equal (a small bleed hole in the disc of each valve permits equalization). The spring then automati-cally reopens the valve. When a line is completely broken, the pressure cannot equalize and the excess flow valve remains closed until the line is repaired. Because the bleed hole is in the valve disc, excess flow valves do not provide 100 percent shutoff.

Since excess flow valves depend on flow in order to close, the line downstream of the excess flow valve should be large enough not to excessively restrict the flow. If the piping is too small, unusually long or restricted by too many elbows, tees and other fittings, consideration should be given to the use of larger size pipe fittings.

All installations must be in accordance with NFPA Standards 58 and 59, as well as state and local regulations.

Designed especially for filling, withdrawing or vapor equalizing in half and full couplinginstallations. Ideal for container service where weld-in dip pipes are not provided. For topmounting, the tapped inlet allows for an optional dip pipe connection to withdraw liquidfrom the top of the tank.

Designed for liquid or vapor service lines. They are intended for long lines or branch piping where tank mounted excess flow valves cannot suffice. Female tapping in inlet and outlet pro-vides easy in line installation.

Designed for filling, withdrawing or vapor equalizing in half and full coupling installations. Commonly used for long lines and branch piping where tank mounted excess flow valves are inadequate.

Excess Flow Valves - Domestic Tank ServiceDesigned for bottom mounting in consumer storage tanks for liquid service. They may also be top mounted for vapor service. Male outlet allows easy attachment of globe or angle valves.

Excess Flow Valves

Excess Flow Valves - Low Pressure Drop Applications*Designed for mounting in half or full couplings in container applications. The exceptionally low pressure drop makes them ideal for pump suction lines. When used with a riser pipe, cau-tion must be used so the side ports of the valve are not restricted.

*Very important for pump suction lines where head is at a premium.As an example, the A7539 3” Series excess flow valves produce only a .47 PSI drop at 130 GPM propane. A comparable competitive valve produces 2 PSI drop at the same flow rate.

Provides a pressure equalization connection for filling operations.The attachment of a vapor hose coupling with its protruding nozzle opens the upper check. The lower excess flow valve closes automatically when flow out of the container exceeds the rated flow.

Provides protection when the desired flow is in one direction. May be used directly in container openings or for in-line applications.Metal-to-metal seats will allow slight leakage after closure.
