Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the bypass blow valve.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory.
When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications
and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to
read this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using
the product properly.
The bypass blow valve has excellent durability and reliable sealing
performance in addition to a structure which can clean its seating surfaces in a
simple operation. In support of this long-life product, the main components of the
valve are replaceable.
In conventional valves, when dust or scale adheres to the seating surface of the
valve seat section, leakage occurs eventually leading to erosion, and ultimately the
valve will no longer function properly.
This bypass blow valve utilizes a special material for the valve stem and valve seat
sections and together with its unique form, rotational contact between the seating
surfaces scrapes off scale and restores the sealing performance of the valve.
The proven special material, combined with the unique cleaning mechanism reduces
the burden of valve maintenance and operation.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover.
It is necessary not only for installation but for subsequent maintenance,
disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for
future reference.

Spanner Cap
Adjusting the Valve Aperture
Place the spanner cap as shown in Figure A, adjust the valve aperture by turning the
valve stem. The adjustment can also be made by using the narrow open end of the
spanner cap as shown in Figure B.
NOTE: The valve stem is in a fully closed position when shipped from the factory and
is tightened to a specific torque. Depending on the environment in which the product
is installed, the valve stem may be difficult to adjust. In such a case, use an
adjustable wrench or socket wrench to adjust the valve stem. This will make the
valve steam easy to adjust with the spanner cap.

NOTE: The valve stem can also be
adjusted with an adjustable wrench,
socket wrench, etc.
Distance across flats: 7 mm (9/32 in)
Restoring the Spanner Cap
Once the adjustment is made, replace the spanner cap.
This prevents unintentional change of the valve aperture. As the valve stem is
covered by the spanner cap, it is protected against rainwater or foreign matter,
reducing the likelihood of the valve stem sticking.

Preventing Erroneous Operation of the Valve Stem
The product is equipped with a function that prevents erroneous operation of the
valve. A hole in the spanner cap allows the spanner cap to be fixed by passing a
wire/steel wire and tightening it around the piping or flange as shown below.
Restricting movement of the spanner cap prevents the valve from being operated
erroneously.
