or FINELOK .

Caution

These bleed valves don't have a cap thread

seal, so open the valve slowly and direct the
vent hole away from the operator. These
valves contain no packing, so some fluid
weepage will occur when the valves are
opened.

Introduction

Type and Size

C Hex

Purge valves are manual bleed, vent or drain valves. The cap is used to release system pressure. One-quarter turn with a wrench from
finger-tight obtains leaktight closure on first makeup. Snugging with a wrench ensures closure to the rated pressure with subsequent
makeups.
