made of ductile iron or brass ASTM B124, with EPDM coating for freshwater application.

The shafts stems shall be made of ANSI 420 stainless steel. The shaft shall be extended for chilled
water and hot water application. The control handles and the gear operators shall be suitable for locking
in any position. The micro switches shall be built in the actuators and factory adjusted at full open and

2 CHECK VALVES (NRV)

The body of the check valves shall be made of cast iron to BS EN1561 and ISO 185 while the
flaps/discs shall be made of Bronze to ISO 197-4 or ductile cast iron. The discs of swing check valves
shall be of light construction and pivot on a spindle secured by two phosphor-bronzed hangers. Each
valve shall be fitted with a stop to prevent undue movement of the flap and shall be as silent as possible
in operation. The discs of lift check valves shall be provided with means of guiding the discs and
preventing components from becoming detached in service. Recoil check valves with size 100 mm and
above should have removable cover on top of the outlet body casing to facilitate inspection of bearings
and movement door.

Check valves shall be provided as shown in the drawings and shall confirm to the following specifications.

 Swing check valves shall normally be used in all water services and shall confirm to IS: 5312 or BS: 5153.
Lift type may be used in horizontal run. Air release and clean out plunge shall be provided, and valves
shall be suitable for 21 Kg/cm2 test pressure.

3 STRAINERS
Strainers shall be of the single or the double type as indicated with connections screwed thread for bores of
up to and including 50 mm and flanged for bores of 65 mm and above. All strainers are flange end.
Strainers of up to 50 mm shall be of gunmetal or bronze. The bodies of single strainers of 65 mm bore and
above and all double strainers shall be of cast iron.

Straining cages and their supporting structure shall be of non-ferrous metal or stainless steel with 1.5
mm diameter perforations or finer if indicated. Cage shall be at least five times the cross-sectional area
of the pipe. Double strainers shall incorporate a changeover device to enable either strainer to be
selected and to isolate the idle strainer from the fluid flow. Strainer shall have flanges for connecting the
piping.

Strainer shall be designed so as to enable blowing out accumulated dirt and facility removal and
replacement of the screen without disconnecting from main piping. Each strainer shall be provided with
equal size isolating valves so that strainer may be cleaned without draining the system.

4 2/3 WAY MODULATING / SELF DYNAMIC BALANCING/ FLOW CONTROL VALVE

(SUITABLE APPLICATION- AHU’s (preferred) & 4 WAY CESSATTE’s (case to case)

The Valve should be self-balancing dynamic flow control valves that are pressure independent, two-way,
modulating to accept digital or analogue input signals and provide flow feedback signal to the control
system. The valves should accept 2-10V DC, 0-10 V DC, 4-20 mA, digital 3-point floating or PWM input
signals and shall be capable of providing 4-20 mA or 2-10V DC flow feedback signal to the control
system.

Each valve should have 51 adjustable maximum flow rates setting to enable flow limitation and balancing
to the coils or zones that the valves are controlling.

All valve actuators are microprocessor based with a self-calibrating feature. The valves from 15 to 40 mm
shall be designed for double union piping connections while above 40 mm of the wafer style for fitting
between flanges, to be provided by others.
