Valve Servicing Dimensions

Note: Starting up the system will require bleeding air and draining water from the valve.
Take proper precautions to protect your space from water damage.

STEP 1

Start with the upstream and downstream isolation  

valves in your system closed, labeled 1 and 2 in Figure 1  

respectively. 

Begin by backing the adjusting screw on the LFCP15 pilot  

valve all the way out by loosening the lock nut and turning the 

adjusting pin just until it comes off the tension (See Images 1 

and 2 below).

Ensure the inlet and outlet shutoffs on the pilot system are 

open.

If your valve includes a speed control, loosen lock nut.  

Set the valve to its fully closed position and back it off  

approximately 11/2 to 2 turns from fully closed (See  

Images 3 and 4 to the right).  

 

The speed control can be fine-tuned once the valve  

startup has been completed.
