3. Operational description

1. After the installation, air exists in the product, and the float [9] is lowered by its own weight. In this

condition, since the valve disc [5] is kept open by the lever [7], air is discharged outside by the internal

pressure of the system.

2. When air is discharged, hot or cold water flows into the product to make the float [9] come up on

buoyancy and the force that keeps the valve disc [5] open through the lever [7] is lost. Then the valve

disc [5] is closed by the spring [6] and pressure to the valve disc [5].

3. When air bubbles are generated in the system and collected into the product, the inside water level

drops, and the float loses buoyancy and opens the valve disc [5] to discharge air.

4. Then the operation goes back to the above process [2]. Repeating the processes [2] and [3], air in

the system can be removed.

No.

The above drawing shows the structure of the TA-16. The TA-16L has L-shaped hose joint screwed in the

seat [3]. The TA-16CVA and TA-16CVS have check valve joints (the CV-16A and CV-16S respectively)

screwed in each seat [3].

4. Installation

4.1 Piping example

4.2 Warning and Caution before use

Warning

1. Make sure to attach joint and hose to outlet of the product, and lead them to drain ditch.

* Failure to follow this notice may contaminate the surroundings, result in burns for high-temperature

fluid or cause bodily injury or damage to the property when valve leakage happens.

2. Make sure that end of piping or tube of the product outlet make space of 50mm over from the flood level

rim of the vent.

* Failure to follow this notice may contaminate the surroundings, result in burns for high-temperature

fluid or cause bodily injury or damage to the property when valve leakage happens.

Caution

1. Install the product vertically(tolerance angle 5°) to a place where air is easy to accumulate.

* Failure to follow this notice may prevent the product from functioning properly.

2. Before installing the product, remove foreign substances and scale（seal material ect.)from the

piping.

* Failure to follow this notice may prevent the product from functioning properly.

3. Install stop valve (cock or gate valve) to inlet of the product for maintenance and inspection.

4. Plumb the exhaust outlet in a way that prevents backflow.

5. Operation

5.1 Warning and Caution for use

Warning

Do not touch the product with bare hands in case of high-temperature fluid.

* Failure to follow this notice may result in burns.

Caution

1. A small amount of water may blow out with air at air discharge for initial

operation.

* This is not a failure of the product.

2. If there is a possibility of freezing or the product is not used for an extended

period,completely discharge fluid from the product and pipes, and close the stop valve.

* Failure to follow this notice may cause malfunction of the product due to rusting inside

the product and the pipes or damaged by freezing.

3. If the piping is under negative pressure, it draw in outside air（TA-16,16L）.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Precaution for maintenance

Warning

Disassembling and inspections shall be performed by a professional or a valve

manufacturer.

1. Completely discharge internal pressure of the product, piping and equipment, and

cool down the product prior to disassembling or maintenance in case of

high-temperature fluid.

*Failure to follow this notice may result in scalds or bodily injury due to residual

pressure.

6.4 Troubleshooting

Trouble

Cause

Remedy

No air discharge

1. The stop valve on inlet side of the

product is kept closed.

1. Open the stop valve fully.

2. Internal piping pressure is more

than the appropriate value.

2. Lower the internal piping pressure, or

replace the valve by one for high

pressure.

3. Air accumulates too slowly.

3. Install the valve on a place where air is

easy to accumulate.

Water blowout from

Exhaust outlet

1. Foreign substances exist on the

valve disc [5] and seat [3].

1. Remove and clean the valve disc [5] and

seat [3].

2. The float [9] is damaged and

cannot work properly.

2. Replace the float [9].

external leakage

1. Damage or deformation of the

body or cover due to abnormal

pressure rise.

1. Replace the product.

2. Gasket[10] is damaged.

2. Replace the gasket [10].

Sucking in air outside

(the TA-16CVA and

TA-16CVS)

1. Foreign substances exist on the

check valve.

1. Remove foreign substances.
