519 Series Differential By-Pass Valve
Instruction Manual
Function
The bypass valve is used in systems where widely varying flow rates may operate. It ensures a flow recirculation proportional to the number of valves being closed while restricting the maximum differential pressure value generated by the pump.

Fitting the switch
The differential by-pass valve can be fitted in any position, by respecting
the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
In systems with a traditional boiler, it is normally fitted between the system
flow and return ends, which allows controlling the pressure and the passage of
a minimum flow through the heat generator. In the event of high by-pass
levels, it is recommended that the valve be fitted between the flow and return
ends of each column, rather than fitting a number of parallel valves at the
main boiler.
Calibration
To regulate the valve, turn the knob to the value required on the graduated
scale: the values correspond to the differential pressure at which the by-pass
is opened.
To carry out rapid adjustment of the by-pass valve it is possible to use the
following practical method, which can be applied, for example, to the system
in an apartment fitted with thermostatic valves: the system must be operating,
the regulating valves must be fully open and the by-pass valve must be set to
its maximum value (a). Fully close approximately 30 % of the total number of
thermostatic valves. Gradually open the valve using the control knob.
Use a thermometer, or simply your hand, to check that the hot water is flowing
into the bypass circuit (b). As soon as a rise in the temperature is noted,
open the thermostatic valves again and check that the hot water stops flowing
into the by-pass (c). Secure the knob in this position with the fixing screw
(d).

****Safety
The device must be installed by trained technicians in accordance with current
regulations.
If the device is not installed, put into operation, and serviced correctly in
accordance with the instructions in this manual, then it might not work
properly and might endanger the user.
Clean pipes to remove any dirt, rust, scale, welding waste, or other sources
of contamination. As in all hydraulic circuits, it is important to ensure that
the entire system is kept clean.
Make sure that all connection pipes are watertight. When connecting water
pipes, make sure that threaded connections on the valve body are not subjected
to excessive mechanical stress. Over time this may result in breakage, with
loss of water and damage to persons and/ or property.
Water temperatures exceeding 50 °C may cause severe burns. During installation
and setup, take all the precautions necessary to ensure that the temperatures
involved do not represent a danger to persons.
