Introduction
01

Bleed Valves
RB Series

If downstream line ruptures, the excess flow valve can stop uncontrolled release of system media. When the system is
functioning normally, the working element remains in the open position. If the excess flow occurs downstream, the working
element quickly moves to the tripped position to stop bleeding. When system pressure reaches balance through the bleed vent,
the spring resets the working element to the open position automatically. The flow which goes through the bleed vent should
be lower than one percent of the flow rate in the trip range.

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 during initial installation. Tightening with a wrench ensures closure to the rated
pressure with subsequent installations.

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 leakage will occur when
the valves are opened.
