5. 설치
The Zurn Wilkins 34-600XL valve is designed for straightforward installation. The fiber union gasket and threaded bell contribute to reduced labor time.
5.1 사전 설치 단계
- 건물 전체의 수도 공급을 차단하십시오.
- Drain the water lines to relieve pressure.
- Identify the appropriate location for the valve, typically after the main shut-off valve and before any branch lines.
5.2 Mounting the Valve
- Ensure the flow direction arrow on the valve body aligns with the water flow.
- Connect the inlet side of the valve to the incoming water line using appropriate fittings. The fiber union gasket facilitates a quick and secure connection.
- Connect the outlet side of the valve to the downstream plumbing system.
- 누출을 방지하기 위해 모든 연결부를 단단히 조이십시오.

6. 운영
The Zurn Wilkins 34-600XL valve is factory-set to a standard pressure, but it can be adjusted to meet specific system requirements.
6.1 압력 조정
- Locate the adjustment screw on the top of the valve.
- To increase downstream pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
- To decrease downstream pressure, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
- Use a pressure gauge (not included) installed downstream to monitor the pressure during adjustment.
- Make small adjustments and check the pressure until the desired setting is achieved.
7. 유지관리
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pressure reducing valve.
7.1 Strainer Cleaning
The valve includes a stainless steel strainer to prevent debris from entering the system. Periodically clean the strainer, especially in areas with sandy or debris-laden water.
- 주수도를 차단하고 시스템 압력을 낮춥니다.
- Locate the separate-access cover for the strainer (typically a cap at the bottom of the valve body).
- Remove the cap and carefully extract the strainer screen.
- Rinse the strainer screen under clean water to remove any accumulated debris.
- Inspect the screen for damage. Replace if necessary.
- Reinsert the clean strainer screen and securely fasten the access cover.
- 물 공급을 재개하고 누출 여부를 점검하십시오.

8. 문제 해결
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pressure reducing valve.
| 문제 | 가능한 원인 | 해결책 |
|---|---|---|
| Downstream pressure too high | Valve adjustment incorrect; debris in valve; worn diaphragm/seat. | Adjust pressure screw counter-clockwise; clean strainer; inspect and replace internal components. |
| Downstream pressure too low | Valve adjustment incorrect; insufficient inlet pressure; debris in valve. | Adjust pressure screw clockwise; check main supply pressure; clean strainer. |
| Water hammer or noise | High inlet pressure; rapid valve closure; air in system. | Adjust downstream pressure; ensure proper valve sizing; bleed air from system. |
| 밸브 누출 | Loose connections; damaged gaskets/seals; cracked valve body. | Tighten connections; replace gaskets/seals; replace valve if body is cracked. |
