Aqua Environment 712 712 Series In Line Hand Operated Bleed Valve

These bleed valves are designed to vent high pressure or condensate from charging lines, filters, separators and other volumes where pressure must be relieved to disconnect lines, tanks etc. They have an exclusive seal design that permits opening and closing thousands of times without loss of sealing ability. Light finger pressure is all that's required however over torquing should not damage the valve. The model 712 has two connections so is better suited for in line uses.

Installation

Use 3 or 4 turns of teflon tape pipe thread sealant. Avoid over torquing the pipe threads. Torque that can easily be applied with a 6 or 8 inch wrench is enough. Excessive torque can cause eventual cracking and leakage. These valves are NOT provided oxygen clean and should NOT be used in oxygen service as provided.

Operation

These valves requires only a light finger torque to seal at pressures to 6000 PSI. Full flow is achieved by opening the bleed valve 1/2 to 3/4 turns. Avoid opening the valve more than this. If opened several turns the bleed screw will separate from the body.
