Multiple Carrier Input Valve Plumbing Using 2-way Valves

Multiple Carrier Input Valve Plumbing

FIGURE B is a diagram of a multiple input carrier plumbing. This method of plumbing uses multiple 2-way valves all joined together by a manifold prior to going through the flowmeter. Make note the order of components in the carrier lines.


Product Lines (Green lines in each diagram)

A 1.25 inch (32 mm) hose is recommended for product lines between totes and input valves. This size allows good flowrates while also keeping the amount of product held in the hose at a low volume.

Rinse Lines (Red lines in each diagram)

As shown in figures above, the rinse line tees off between the main carrier meter and the carrier valve. The pressurized side of the rinse pump goes directly into the Mixmate inductor. The non-pressurized side supplies the stack manifold.

Rinse Pump Sizing for pressurizing Inductor Rinse ONLY

  1. 25 gallons per minute at 25 psi
  2. self priming pump
  3. typically at least 2 horsepower is required to meet these specifications
  4. larger pumps and engines can be idled back as needed
  5. The maximum pressure rating is 100 psi.
