Model D87

Overtorque Clutch

The Model D87 is mounted on the gearbox's input shaft between the gearbox and handwheel. Handwheel torque is transmitted from the handwheel through the Model D87 to the gearbox/actuator or valve. The D87 will transmit operating torque but will not transmit torque greater than its pre-set limit.

Mounting

Remove existing handwheel. If applicable, place key in handwheel shaft's keyway, the slide the Model D87 onto the handwheel shaft. Tighten the mounting screws. Mount handwheel on the D87 shaft using the included key (where applicable).


Calibration

Model D87’s are shipped pre-calibrated to end-user specification and ready to install.
The trip torque calibration screws are concealed with the male shaft to prevent tampering.
They may be re-calibrated by the following procedure:


Field Calibration
  1. Remove shaft bolts
  2. Rotate the adjusting screw inward (clockwise) to increase trip torque or outward (counterclockwise) to decrease. For more precise calibration use a torque wrench to verify setting.
  3. After adjustment, add drop of Loctite 290 to the calibration screw and replace shaft.

Model D87

Overtorque Clutch

Features

  • Zero maintenance
  • Operates buried & submerged
  • Permanently lubricated
  • Hermetically sealed
  • Pre-calibrated & ready to mount, no modifications required
  • Corrosion protected with AWWA C213-approved fusion-bonded epoxy & stainless-steel fasteners

Fully Submersible

The Model D87 operates buried and submerged. The mechanism is permanently lubricated and hermetically sealed to exceed IP 68 water ingress standard IEC 60529 Ed 2.2 2013. Units have been tested water tight under 230 feet (70 meters) water pressure.

ZERO Maintenance

The D87 requires ZERO maintenance due to it's permanently sealed & lubricated mechanism.

Decades of Reliable Use

Most large municipalities across the US have been using the Model D87 for decades.

Rugged. Dependable.

Rugged construction materials, corrosion protected by industry standard AWWA C213-approved 3M fusion-bonded epoxy.
