Model D86

AWWA Valve Overtorque Clutch

The Model D86 Valve Overtorque Protector ™ is permanently mounted on the valve operating nut. No special tools or valve modifications are required. It’s easily mounted on direct buried valves without excavation. Operating torque is applied to the 2-inch AWWA nut on the Model D86 then transmitted through the D86 to the valve. The Model D86 will transmit sufficient torque to free up and operate the valve. If excessive torque is applied, the drive will disengage and prevent valve damage. The drive will automatically re-engage at the original setting with further rotation in either direction.

Mounting

Place the Model D86 Valve Overtorque Clutch™ on the 2" AWWA operating nut and tighten the two mounting screws.


Buried Valve

To mount on buried valve, hook into the drain hole in the side of the D86 nut then lower the unit onto the valve nut. The mounting screws need not be tightened.

Calibration

Model D86’s are shipped pre-calibrated to end-user specification and ready to install.
The trip torque calibration screws are sealed and concealed to prevent tampering.
They may be re-calibrated by the following procedure:


  1. Remove polyurethane sealant from bonnet nut cavity to expose the calibration screw.
  2. Rotate the adjusting screw inward (clockwise) to increase trip torque or outward (counterclockwise) to decrease. 1/16 revolution will change the trip torque approximately 12 pounds feet for D86-250, and 24 pounds feet for D86-500. For more precise calibration use a torque wrench to verify setting.
  3. After adjustment, fill nut cavity with Devcon Flexane 94 liquid polyurethane up to the lower edge of the drain hole in the side of the D86 nut.
