Metering valve

[Sonlight]

I am wondering if any of you are familiar with this little valve? Could I use this w/ an X-JET to eliminate changing the orifices or is this designed to do the same thing as the X-JET?

I am currently using the M-5 but I get frustrated constantly changing the plastic orifices to adjust the chemical delivery.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Looks like a downstream injector. No it will not work with the X-Jet. [wsmile]

Very similar to the ST-62.

<i>The ST-62 injector allows for water flow adjustment from the pressure pump. By adjusting the water flow through the ST-62, a restriction causes a vacuum which allows the detergent to be drawn through the hose barb when a large orifice nozzle is used. With the adjustment feature, the ST-62 can be used with a variety of water flows, replacing injectors with fixed orifices that are sized to specific flows.
INJECTOR RATIOS: Injector ratios are approximate. They vary with the lift required, downstream restrictions, viscosity, temperature, etc. To determine the exact siphon ratio for your application: (1). Operate the injection feature for one minute. (2). Measure how much detergent was used. (3). Subtract the amount of injected detergent from the total amount of liquid discharged. (4). Divide this number from the amount of injected detergent. EXAMPLE: If the total amount of liquid discharged equals 5 gallons, and the detergent injected equals 58 oz.(0.45 gal.), the exact ratio woild be determined as follows: 5.0 -0.45=4.55 divided by 0.45=10. The ratio is 10 parts water to 1 part detergent.




Technical Notes
Flow rate: Adjustable 2 to 8 GPM. Maximum pressure: 3600 PSI. Forged brass housing. Viton o-rings. Stainless Steel spring and ball. Inlet 3/8" FPT. Outlet: 3/8" FPT. 1/4" Hose barb. .

MOUNTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: (1). Connect the discharge port of the cleaner to the inlet port of the injector. (the arrow on the injector housing should point in the direction of the water flow). (2). Connect dwonstream components, such as discharge hose and gun, to outlet port. (3). Connect the detergent hose to the hose barb and secure. (4). Place the other end of the hose into the detergent. (5). Turn on the water. On the ST-62 also turn adjustment to maximum counter clock-wise. (6). To activate injector, employ the large orifice nozzle. The ST-62 will now need to be adjusted clockwise for detergent suction </i>

Thanks a bunch. I might still be able to use it in another application. It sound like a vast improvement over the standard injector that comes on the machine.

Dema makes some quality injectors
they will inject at high pressure.
