    The document provides specifications and dimensions for indicator posts used to actuate and indicate the open/shut status of buried gate valves. It describes how the posts are sized based on valve size and trench depth.

    Indicator posts are used to actuate and indicate open/shut status of buried gate valves. They are recommended for use in fire protection systems or installations where it is critical that valve status be known.

    Indicator posts are sized using model numbers that correspond to trench depth ranges. Tables provide the model number and trench depth for each valve size to ensure the post will fit properly based on installation conditions.

    IP71 INSTALLATION
    Installation
    1. The IP71 Indicator Post is shipped with the OPEN and
    SHUT targets in the exact mid position so that neither target is centered in the window. Do not change this position until the post is mounted on the valve.
    2. The valve must be positioned so the gate is exactly half
    way between the full open and full closed positions. For the
    AFC valve, use the following procedure:
    a. Open the valve to the full open position.
    b. Turn the valve in the closing direction as follows:

    3. Slide the indicator post rod out of the IP71


    post through the base.
    4. Adjust the IP71 barrel and base for the proper trench depth.
    5. Lay the rod beside the properly adjusted
    IP71 post with the bottom of the rod coupling
    even with the bottom of the flange on the base.
    6. Cut the upper end of the rod even with the top
    of the target window.
    7. Reinsert the rod, cut to the proper length,
    back into the IP71 post, making sure the
    square rod is inserted into the square recess
    in the operating nut.
    8. Attach the wrench nut coupling on the IP71
    stem to the 2 wrench nut on the gate valve using the cotter pin provided.
    9. Mount the IP71 Indicator Post on the post
    flange on the gate valve.
    10. Operate the gate valve to the full open and full
    closed positions to make sure the OPEN and
    SHUT signs are shown in the windows of the
    indicator post.

    IP71 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


    Operation
    1. Direction of opening is indicated by an arrow cast on to part of the indicator post body.
    2. Fully open and close valve before applying pressure, using the wrench supplied as part of the indicator post.
    Longer wrenches or cheaters should not be used as excessive leverage may damage the indicator post or
    the gate valve to which it is connected.

    Maintenance

    2. If for any reason it becomes necessary to replace the operating stem nut, proceed in the following manner:
    a. Remove eye bolt IP3 and hex head bolt IP9 and lift off entire indicator post head.
    b. Turn operating stem nut in closing direction until target carrier becomes disengaged.
    c.

    Remove TRUARC retaining ring IP4, using a pair of TRUARC field pliers, number 2600, external type.

    d. Lift operating stem nut out of body.


    e. To install operating stem nut, reverse above procedure.

    AMERICAN FLOW CONTROL

    IP-71 INDICATOR POST

    IP71 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

    1. Place three or four drops of lubricating oil about four times a year in hole located on top of operating stem nut
    and turn operating stem nut to distribute the oil.
