BRIXING PFC-II VALVE
The water and syrup flows are individually adjusted by their respective metering pin or flow-controls.
Located under the valve cover on the top rear of the valve, see illustration.
One recommended method utilizes the ratio brix cup. The brix cup is divided into two sections, one
to hold up to 9 parts water and the smaller section to hold one or two parts of syrup. When
adjusting a flavor with a ratio of more than 9 to 1 syrup 2 line must be used. When using syrup 2
line the waterside is doubled to 18 to 1 vs. 9 to 1.
When facing the valve, the syrup is always to the right and the water/soda is to the left. To
decrease syrup or water flow, turn metering pin clockwise. To decrease syrup or water flow, when
using flow control valves turn counter-clockwise. To increase, reverse rotation respectively.
The ultimate goal is to achieve a proper ratio of water vs. syrup. This ratio can and will vary with
differing products.

Maintenance:
Cleaning your valve is recommended to insure a constant quality drink. If a valve is not sanitized on
a regular basis (nightly recommended), the possibility of foamy and off-tasting drinks is greatly
increased.
1. Turn off key switch normally located on valve plate or side of cabinet. Or disconnect tower
from electrical supply.
2. Clean all exposed areas of valve with mild soap or sanitizing solution and warm water.
3. Remove nozzle and place in warm water. Do not soak nozzle in bleach water, this will turn
the nozzle yellow and cause deterioration. It is recommended to use a soft bristle brush,
part No. S-1064, to clean any hard to get areas of valve or nozzle. Do not soak nozzle in
extremely hot water, nozzle will warp.
