    Operating Instructions

    		 N/A
  • Valve is operated by turning the bleed port nut with a wrench. Use appropriate back-up wrench to hold body, while turning bleed nut.
  • As the bleed nut is turned, pressure forces the ball off the seat. Pressure is vented through a hole drilled in the nut, angled back toward the body of the valve. Make sure flow is directed away from user.
  • Those using the valves should wear protective clothing, especially goggles.
  • No attempt should be made to repair or dismantle the valve.
