Installation/Operation Data

When installing the couplers, use a good quality thread sealant compatible with the liquid being used in the system. Screw the coupler onto the thread hand tight; using a wrench, tighten the coupler onto the thread another 1/4 to 1/2 turn.         

 Warning:

 The DM200A should always be installed on the high-pressure side of the system. Failure to install the DM200A on the high-pressure side can trap pressurized fluid between the balls, causing fluid to spray when the two halves are disconnected!

Step 1:                 

To attach the two halves together, make sure the faces of the DM200A and DM200D are free from dirt or other foreign material. Align the two halves together as shown in Figure 1.

 

                       

Step 2: 

Slide the DM200D onto the DM200A. The alignment tabs on the DM200D will guide the cam inserts into the cam arms of the DM200D. After the assembly is together, rotate the cam arms toward the body of the DM200D. This will couple the halves together and depress the anti-rotation buttons under the handles, which will allow the handles to rotate. After the cam arms are rotated in position, the assembly should look like Figure 2. 

 

                                                               

Step 3:

In this position, the handle of the DM200D must be rotated before the handle of the DM200A can rotate. Rotate the handle of the DM200D to the open position. When this handle is opened, the locking yoke will engage the cam levers and prevent the cam levers from being opened while the handle is in the open position. The handles should now be oriented as shown in Figure 3.

               

Step 4:

After the handle of the DM200D has been opened, the handle of the DM200A can be rotated. Rotate the handle of the DM200A to the open position. The assembly is now opened and flow may begin. When both valves are opened the handles should be oriented as shown in Figure 4.

 

                                               

                                               

To close the valves and disconnect the couplers, reverse steps 1 through 4.
