MIL-V-1558B
3.3.12.2.1 The electrical controls shall provide for opening and closing the pilot
control valve by momentary operation of remote pushbuttons. The controls shall be mechani-
cally latched in such a manner that the position of the pilot valve will not at any time
be affected by the loss of electric power. The control shall incorporate contacts for
operation of a remote 115-volt indicator light to indicate when the pilot control valve is
in the open position. Provision shall be made for emergency manual operation. The manual
operating means shall be so protected as not to be readily operated by unauthorized persons,
but shall be readily accessible to authorized personnel. Sufficient capacity shall be
incorporated in the control to assure positive operation of the pilot valve under all
conditions of service. It is to be expected that a valve (installed on a ship and connected
to a fire main continuously under pressure) may not be operated for a period of six months
and positive operation of the valve on low (80 percent of rated) voltage is required after
such a period of idleness.
3.3.13 Position indicating mechanism. Each main valve shall incorporate a mechanism
for indicating the position of the valve disc.
3.3.14 Shock. The valve shall be designed to meet the shock requirements of MIL-S-

3.6 Drawings. The contractor shall furnish, prior to production, drawings of the
valve proposed for approval of the command or agency concerned. Drawings shall conform to
categories B, E, G and H, and form 3 of MIL-D-1000 and type II of MIL-D-1000/2.
#
3.7 Technical manuals. One technical manual in accordance with type I of MIL-M-15071
shall be furnished with each valve as specified (see 6.1).

spots, porosity, cracks, and other injurious defects. They shall be smooth and well
cleaned both inside and outside, and all fins and roughness shall be removed. Castings
