degree). In that case, use a spanner, adjustable wrench or handle.
Do not turn the locknut, gland retainer nut, gland case, etc. while
adjusting the regulation valve. Failure to do so could result in burns, other
injury or damage from the blowing of small amounts of steam and
condensate.
For opening the valve:
・
Fit a spanner onto the the square part of the top of the regulation valve and
turn slowly in the counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: Do not turn the regulation valve past the point at which it stops (where
the internal pin contacts the gland case)
・
The steam quantity can be adjusted by using the Steam Discharge Capacity
Graph to find out what valve aperture corresponds to your desired steam
discharge quantity and differential pressure, then using the valve aperture
indication plate to set the valve aperture to the value taken from the graph.
For closing the valve:
・
Fit a spanner onto the the square part of the very top of the regulation valve
and turn slowly in the clockwise direction.
5. If steam should leak from the gland retainer nut or gland case, it can be stopped
by further tightening the gland retainer nut. (Turn the regulation valve as far
closed as it will go.)
