Correct Usage of S-COS / S-COSR Pressure Reducing Valve Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. CAUTION Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents.

Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the Reducing Valve In order to ensure stable steam flow, the piping upstream and downstream of the reducing valve must be straight runs. If a pressure reducing valve is installed either directly before or after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in steam flow may result in chattering and unstable pressure.

5. Maintenance Space S-COS S-COSR Leave sufficient space for maintenance, inspection and repair. (Unit: mm) 6. Trap Outlet Pipe (S-COS Only) For ease of maintenance, installation of a union connection is recommended for the trap outlet pipe. Connect the outlet pipe to a condensate Small Hole return line, or extend it to a trench.

Two-stage Pressure Reduction Two-stage pressure reduction should be performed whenever the pressure cannot be reduced to the desired level with a single pressure-reducing valve due to operating range limitations, such as when the reduction ratio is greater than 10:1.

Adjustment The S-COS/S-COSR pressure reducing valve should be properly adjusted for protection of the steam equipment against water hammer. 1. It is necessary to blow down all pipe lines thoroughly. The blowdown is especially important if the line is new or has been shut down for a long period of time. Take particular care to ensure that matter such as condensate and dirt does not remain inside the steam equipment.
Maintenance Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from CAUTION the discharge of fluids. Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way.
Disassembly NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury WARNING or damage to property and equipment. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product CAUTION has cooled to room temperature.

Disassembling the Pilot Section The diaphragm is removed by utilizing the notch in the pilot body. Loosen the pilot valve seat with a box wrench and remove it. Lift the pilot valve spring up and out with a pair of tweezers. Then loosen and remove the pilot screen holder to remove the pilot screen.
Page 17
Disassembling the Separator and Main Valve (S-COS only) Turn the S-COS upside down for easy dismantling of the separator and main valve. Loosen the bolts and remove the trap body. Be careful, as the separator may drop off when the S-COS is returned to the normal attitude. Removal of the separator and pressed-in sleeve permits the removal of the main valve spring, the main valve and separator screen.
Page 18
Disassembling the Main Valve (S-COSR Only) Turn the S-COSR upside down for easy dismantling of the main valve. Loosen and remove the cover plug. Removal of the cover plug and pressed-in sleeve permits the removal of the main valve, main valve spring and the screen. Loosen the main valve seat by using a box wrench and remove from the main body.

Reassembly Assemble the unit using the same procedure as used for disassebling it; but in reverse order. Observe the following precautions: 1. The PTFE gaskets may be re-used if free from fault, crushing or deformation. 2. Apply anti-seize to the threaded portion of screws and bolts, the spring guide, ball and adjustment screw.
Troubleshooting NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury WARNING or damage to property and equipment. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product CAUTION has cooled to room temperature.
