Technical Information:
- Installation Guide:
Trough Installation
- Flush pipe lines into water tank or troughs before installing Max-Flo Valve into new system
- Isolate the water going to replace valve in existing scheme
- Thread O-Ring end of correct size male adapter into valve body and tighten firmly enough that the O-Ring creates a seal against the face. Do not over tighten.
Top Entry Trough
- Thread Max Flo Valve into existing trough fitting
- Determine the on/off point and water level required
- Use supplied Adjustable Extension Arm when a larger air gap/lower water level is required
- Adjust the float and arms to suit required angle
Bottom or Side entry Trough
- Thread Max Flo Valve into existing trough fitting
- Thread cord through the float, adjust cord to required on/off level then tie off
Tank Installation:
- Install tank fitting into water tank
- Flush lines into water tank before installing Max Flo Valve into system
- Thread O-Ring end of correct size male adaptor into valve body and tighten firmly enough that the O-Ring creates a seal against the face. Do not over tighten.
- Thread Max Flo Valve into Tank Fitting inside tank
- Thread cord through the float, adjust cord to required on/off level then tie off.
F.A.Q.
Q - Can I use the Hansen Max Flo Valve as a top entry valve with an air gap?
A - Yes, the Hansen Max Flo Valve can be installed at the top , side bottom entry as all components come with each valve.
Q - My troughs have both 20mm & 25mm threaded inlets, does your Hansen Max Flo Valve come in both sizes?
A - Yes each Hansen Max Flo Valve comes with the required components to install in 20mm or 25mm threaded inlets. This of course means you only have to buy one valve for all sized inlets.
Q - Will the higher flow cost me more to run my pump?
A - No, because the Hansen Max Flo Valve is more efficient than what you are used to. The reduced operating pressure required will equate to higher flows at lower pressures at your pump which in turn will reduce pumping time and cost.
Q - At present I get valve bounce in my troughs, will the Hansen Max Flo valve stop this?
A - Yes, valve bounce is created from high flows at high pressures, the Hansen Max Flo Valve opens and closes slower than other valves so will reduce incidences of problem.
Q - I have problems with having to forever clean my valves as my water supply can get dirty at times, how will the Hansen Super Flo Valve handle these conditions?
A - Our patent pending “Self Cleaning Pilot" will increase durability and suitability in dirty water situations.
