This Add-On Sight Feed Valve features solid gaskets for use with sealed pressure systems. For a conventional system that feeds by the use of gravity alone, see B3151-01B11GW (vented). The unit withstands up to 125 PSI inlet to orifice pressure. It has an aluminum alloy valve body, glass sight, Buna-N seals, 1/16" diameter port, and 1/4” OD tube outlet. Valves can be joined together with the included Threadapter® and the use of an 9/16” wrench, 1/2” wrench, and 3/16” hex key.
- Shut off flow to the valves and allow the oil to drain.
- If the lubricator currently has an odd number of valves, add the new valve to the side with fewer valves.
- Use a 1/2” wrench to remove the needle sub-assembly from the top of the existing valve. This will prevent it from being damaged during assembly. Keep the o-ring seated in the body for re-assembly.
- Remove the needle sub-assembly from the new valve. The horizontal pathway needs to be clear during assembly. Keep the o-ring seated in the body for re-assembly.
- Use a 9/16” wrench to remove the brass cap from the side of the existing valve. Keep the o-ring seated in the body for re-assembly.
- The Threadapter® has a fine thread on one side and a coarse thread on the other. Test the ability of the fine thread to engage with the existing feed. Screw it completely in by hand if it is a fit. If it does not match, screw the fine thread completely into the appropriate side of the new valve.
- Place the o-ring supplied with the new valve over the Threadapter® and into the groove on the body.
- Align the new valve to the existing valve so that the Threadapter® is ready to engage.
- Insert a 3/16” hex key through the new valve body into the Threadapter®. Unscrew the Threadapter® (counter clockwise). The rotation of the Threadapter® will draw the bodies together. Tighten securely.
- Screw the brass cap into the open end of the new valve.
- Re-install the needle valve sub-assemblies.
- Turn on oil flow to valve. Monitor and adjust output as required.
