These zones ,ä ¡" segmentsof sand filter manifolds, drainfieidr, o, other efiluJnt distribution systems. Distributingvalve assemblies cansubstantially simplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-tem and reduce installation costs. This is particulad! true where a distributing rrat o" assem-bly is used instead of multiple pumps u"øor electrióaüy oferated valves. Ad-ditionalty, ared¡ction in long term operatioo *à maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced sizeand/or number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoninglaterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and-theLequal distrib-ution of effluent that occurs at the beginning of a cycle. Valve Operation The valve itself has o:rly a few moving pârts, requires no electrici ty, andalternates automati-cally each cycle' Refer to Figure r foi the following valve operation description. The flowof the incoming eftluent forces the rubber flap disk-o to seat against the valve bottom @.þ opening @ in the rubber flap disk aligns with * op*iog in the valve bottom to allowflow to only one valve outlet. The stem dhour". u stai"rers steel spring which pushes therubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent rör. ñ. stem actsas a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised *å lo*".d throughthe cam 6' The force from the flow of efiIuent pushes the stem down through the cam andthe stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up tnro.rgtth" cam when the flow of effluentstops' Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubbeiflap disk to rotate half the distancenecessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, ihe rubber ftap disk is in the ..up,, position and is not seated against the valve bottom. Figure l: 6lllll Series Valye ûrp-YA-r Rev. tå @ t1lüt Orenco $ystemso, lnc.

Valve AssemblY llYdraulics Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass ftt:"gh fairly small openings and make several changes in direction.-B."u,rr. of this, t "u.lto*re* through the valve assembly are fairþ high' Table 1 gives the headross equations for several different ur*rrrrbli"r and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre- sentations of these equations. orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressuf- ize the valve assembries to en$re enough head is availabrı for proper system operation. High-head turbine pumps are also reconrmended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more frequent pump cychng. The high-h"ad tr.bite pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will outrast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore, the high-head turbinc pump intake is 12 inches of more above the bottom of the pump antl tends to prevent any settred ,oiid, from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera- tion. A minimum flow rate through tne aistrituting valve is required to enlure- proper seating of the rubber flap disk.

A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat the disk as shown in Table 1' solurloN 2: Remove the valve top and checkthe inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve' SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat- ing zones are not restricted in any marmer' 3.
