How much back-pressure can an 8262/8263 valve hold?
8262/8263 series valves are not designed to hold back pressure. Back pressure occurs the downstream pressure exceeds the inlet pressure. This may result in the inability of the valve to close. Consult the factory if you have a specific back-pressure requirement. Back to the top • Q: What is the flow path of an 8262/8263 valve, and how do I pipe it up? A: Flow paths are the direction that a media must travel through the valve in order for it to function properly. The flow path is denoted by an arrow on the body of the valve. They vary from valve to valve and piping instructions, as shown in the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with every valve, should be carefully followed. Back to the top • Q: Are 8262/8263 valves bi-directional? A: 8262/8263 series valves are not bi-directional. They are designed for flow in one direction only. Reversing the flow may result in the inability of the valve to shut off, or other unreliable or erratic operation. Back to the top • Q: Can I
