The FlowCon SM are available in two different
double union end connected models covering five
different sizes and four different flanged models
covering nine different sizes:
 FlowCon SM.1 DN15-25 (1/2”-1”)
 FlowCon SM.2 DN25-40 (1”-1½”)
 FlowCon SM.3 DN50-80 (2”-3”)
 FlowCon SM.4 DN80-100 (3”-4”)
 FlowCon SM.5 DN125-150 (5”-6”)
 FlowCon SM.6 DN200-250 (8”-10”)
O-rings are supplied with the valve body and are
used to seal the connections. It is recommended
to grease the O-rings with silicone grease.
Please make sure these are properly placed
in the O-ring grooves on valve inlet and outlet,
before installing the housing. Please note that
FlowCon SM.6 (DN200-250 / 8”-10”) contains two
O-ring grooves. Use the inner groove for DN200 /
8” flanges and outer groove for DN250 / 10” flanges.
The actuator types FlowCon SM.0.0.0.3,
SM.0.0.0.4, SM.0.0.0.5 and SM.0.0.0.6 are elec
-
trical programmable actuators. SM.0.0.0.5 and
.6 are BACnet actuators and have a supplemen
-
tary instruction on BACnet connection and pro-
gramming.
Fitting and Re-tting the actuator
It is recommended to grease the O-ring on the
spindle adaptor with silicone grease before plac
-
ing the spindle adaptor on the valve spindle.
 Then place the actuator on the spindle adaptor
and place the three actuator “legs” into the three
holes in the mounting bracket (figure 2 and 3).
Make sure that the snap ring is clicked onto the
mounting bracket, so that the snap ring is locked
at the top of the mounting bracket, but still able to
rotate.  Then finger-turn the snap ring counter
clockwise (upside view) approximately 1/6 of a
turn until its stop points touch the actuator “legs”
and the mounting is lock with a (small) click. Do
not use additional tools.
