Setup
The divider valve is shipped ready to install in your sys-
tem. It has been factory-tested and should not require
any additional modification.
To install the divider valve in your system:
1. Determine an appropriate, remote mounting loca-
tion.
2. Install a rupture to atmosphere fitting with a blow-out
disk that is rated for 7,500 psi or less between the
force feed lubricator pump and master divider valve
inlet.
3. Install an analog pressure gauge at the inlet to the
divider valve.
4. Install a slow or no cycle shutdown in one of the pis-
ton enclosure plugs. Program it to shut down after
no more than 180 seconds without a complete
cycle.
5. Torque. See Table 4 on page 15.
As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the
inlet section of the divider assembly, valves sections will
continue to operate in a progressive manner. Divider
assemblies always follow a constant discharge pattern.
Whenever lubricant flow ceases, the valving pistons will
stop. When flow resumes, it will start again at the same
point in the discharge cycle.

Divider Valves
A Series-Flo type divider valve is a manifold proportion-
ing device consisting of an inlet and end section plus a
minimum of three valve sections. The divider valve is
manifolded together with tie rods and nuts. A master
divider valve is the first divider valve downstream from
the lube pump. A secondary divider valve is any divider
valve receiving lubricant from the master divider valve.
NOTICE
Do not install a divider valve into a system rated for
more than the valve’s maximum operating pressure.
This type of installation could result in o-ring damage
and cause the divider valve to leak.
