When
Issue with the check valve that could not be solved by cleaning (for example, persistent leakage)
Damage of inlet check valve
Parts required
Valve cartridge
Valve nut, required only when leakage is present at the fitting connection to the valve
Tools and additional items required
Solvent suitable for purging to flush out harmful substances
Solvent suitable for your application
Open-end wrench, size 13 mm
Tweezers, flat tips or curved tips
Preparations
To flush out harmful substances, purge the pump with an appropriate solvent.
Turn off the pump flow and wait until the system pressure is down to zero.
Follow these steps
On the valve nut, disconnect the tubing.
Use the open-end wrench to loosen and remove the valve nut from the pump head.
Remove the valve cartridge:
Valve Cartridge | Action |
---|---|
Valve cartridge removed together with valve nut | Hold the nut over your hand and turn it upside down to allow the cartridge to drop into your hand. |
Valve cartridge remained in pump | Pull out the cartridge using the tweezers. |
Insert the new cartridge into the valve nut. Insert the cartridge in the direction of flow (indicated by the arrow on the cartridge).
Screw the valve nut into the pump head and tighten with the open-end wrench.
NOTICE
Overtightening may damage the valve cartridge. The torque should not exceed 10 Nm.
On the valve nut, reconnect the tubing.
Rinse the pump thoroughly:
Use the solvent for your application.
Open the purge valve to prevent the rinsing liquid from entering the Vanquish system.
Inspect the inlet check valve and fitting connection for indications of leakage. Tighten leaky connections when the system pressure is down to zero.
Optional: Test the pump for leakage (see Testing the Pump for Leakage (General Test)).
