iNTRODUCTiON
The Cla-Val Model 136-03/636-03 Solenoid Control Valve is an
automatic valve designed to either close drip tight or open fully by
means of a Three-Way Solenoid Control. It is a hydraulically oper-
ated, solenoid controlled, diaphragm type globe or angle valve.

1. Allow sufficient room around the valve assembly to make
adjustments and for disassembly.
Note: Before the valve is installed, the pipeline should be
flushed to remove all chips, scale and foreign matter.
2. It is recommended that gate or line block valves be installed 4. Check that solenoid (2) is set to close main valve. Slowly open
