Blow Down Valve
Applications:
For Series 47, 67, and 70 boiler control blow
down valve replacement.
• Before using this product read and understand instructions.
• Save these instructions for future reference.
• All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in the proper application, instal-
lation, and maintenance of plumbing, steam, and electrical equipment and/or systems in
accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
• To prevent serious burns, wear heat resistant gloves when opening and closing valves, or
handling hot equipment.
• To prevent serious burns, allow the control and surrounding equipment to cool to 80˚F
(27˚C) and allow pressure to release to 0 psi (0 bar) before servicing.
• When flushing control (blow down), hot water and steam will flow out.To prevent serious
personal injury, connect a drain pipe to the control opening to avoid exposure to steam
discharge.
• To prevent flooding, do not puncture float.
Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

STEP 2 - Installing the New Blow Down Valve
a. Hold the new replacement blow down
valve (H) upright and remove the rubber
band around the valve body.
Be careful not to tip the valve as its
components might fall out. If this
occurs, reassemble as shown (J).

b. Position the blow down valve (H) onto the control's
mating surface (G). So that it's handle (K) is acces-
sible and is able to swing through its full range of
motion (90˚).
c. Insert the four (4) screws provided through the blow
down valve and gasket (D) into the threaded holes
on the mating surface (G).

e. Verify that the blow down valve (H) is unobstructed
by opening and closing the valve over its full range
of motion (90˚).
f. Apply pipe sealing compound to the threaded end of
a 3/4" (20mm) NPT blow down pipe (M) and screw it
into the control (N).Tighten the pipe (M) with a pipe
wrench (P) to approximately 47 ft•lb (64 N•m).

IMPORTANT: The burner must not turn on until the water
level has reached its minimum safe operating level as deter-
mined by the boiler manufacturer. If the burner turns on
before this point, immediately shut off the boiler and correct
the problem.Other equipment may be involved and the sys-
tem should be inspected by qualified personnel.
d. Verify that the burner is off and that the system is filling
with water by observing the water level rise in the
gauge glass(R)

WARNING
IMPORTANT: If the control (A) does not blow down
and/or the burner does not shut-off, close the blow
down valve (H), immedialety shut off the boiler, and
correct the problem. Other equipment may be involved
and the system should be inspected by qualified per-
sonnel.
e. Allow the system to build to its normal operating pres-
sure and check for leakage around the mating surface
(G), the shaft (S), and the pipe opening (T).
1. If leakage occurs around the mating surface (G),
retighten the four (4) screws. If leakage continues,
follow "Step 1" to remove the blow down valve (H).
Closely following the installation instructions, replace it.
2. If leakage occurs around the valve shaft (S), follow
"Step 1" to remove the blow down valve (H). Closely
following the installation instructions, replace it.
3. If leakage occurs around the pipe outlet (T), follow
"Step 1" to remove the blow down valve (H) and
verify that it has been properly assembled as shown
in "Step 2-a". Inspect the blow down valve (H) for
debris which may prevent it from completely closing
or sealing. If leakage continues, follow "Step 1" to
remove it. Closely following the installation instruc-
tions, replace the blow down valve (H).

MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE:
• Blow down weekly when the boiler is
in operation.
• Disassemble and inspect annually. Replace
the control if it is worn, corroded, or if com-
ponents no longer operate properly.
• Inspect the float chamber and equalizing
piping annually. Remove all sediment
and debris.
• Replace the blow down valve every 10 years.
More frequent replacement may be required
if it is used in locales where significant water
treatment is required, where more frequent
cleaning is necessary, or in applications with
high make-up water requirements.
PROCEDURE:
1. Blow down the low water cut-off when the
water level is at its normal level and the burner
is on. Slowly open the blow down valve until it
is fully open and observe the water level fall in
the gauge glass. Close the valve after verifying
that the burner shuts off. If this does not
happen, immediately shut off the boiler and
correct the problem.
To prevent serious personal injury from steam
pipe blow down, connect a drain pipe to avoid
exposure to steam discharge.
Failure to follow this caution could cause
personal injury.
