When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the CAUTION internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage.
Specifications Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended CAUTION operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
Correct Usage of the PN-COS-16 Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended CAUTION operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

4. Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the PN-COS-16 In order to ensure stable steam flow, the piping upstream and downstream of the PN-COS-16 must be straight runs. If the PN-COS-16 is installed either directly before or after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in steam flow may result in chattering and unstable pressure.
Installation Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended CAUTION operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

4. Spacer Installation If spacing adjustment is Correct spacer necessary to accommodate location installation, install a spacer on the outlet flange. The spacer should consist of a spacer, gaskets, bolts and nuts. Incorrect spacer Fit gaskets to both sides of the location spacer between the PN-COS- 16 outlet and the pipe flange.

11. Two-stage Pressure Reduction Whenever the pressure cannot be reduced to the desired level with a single PN- COS-16 due to operating range limitations, such as when the reduction ratio is greater than 10:1, the pressure reducing valve should be installed at the primary side.

sensing channel under the operational pressure reduction ratio of 2:1 or more. Installation procedure 1) Loosen and remove the bolts that attach the pilot body to the main body and remove the pilot body. 2) Install the blind pin (optional) by first removing the connecting tube from the main body or pilot cover and then substituting the blind pin.
Page 14
All models except North American models are factory prepared for internal sensing. When internal pressure sensing is required for North American models, please contact the nearest TLV representative to request both a connecting tube, which must be installed in place of the blind pin, and a threaded secondary pressure sensing plug.
Operation When using this product, NEVER stand close to, or leave tools anywhere near moving parts, such as the shaft. Contact with moving parts or objects CAUTION becoming caught in moving parts could lead to injury or damage or other accidents.

Manual Control <Example: Manual remote operation (as pressure reducing valve)> PN-COS-16 Regulator (installed in a (with relief) high position) When operating the PN-COS-16 remotely by manual operation, an air regulator (with relief function) that adjusts motive air pressure is required. Adjust the set pressure with the air regulator while checking the pressure gauge on the secondary side.

<Adjustment> 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-using equipment.
Maintenance Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with CAUTION product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the discharge of fluids. Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the CAUTION 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 WARNING increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately CAUTION 20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall.

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.
Page 21
Disassembling the Separator / Main Valve Section Turn the PN-COS-16 upside down for easy dismantling of the separator and main valve. Loosen the hex bolts and remove the trap body. Be careful, as the separator may drop off when the PN-COS-16 is returned to the normal attitude. Removal of the separator and pressed-in sleeve permits removal of the main valve, main valve holder, main valve spring and separator screen.

Cleaning After inspection and removal of any abnormality, clean and reassemble the parts. The following parts will require cleaning before reassembly: Trap Cover Piston Float Piston Ring Trap Valve Seat Cylinder Pilot Screen Separator Screen Main Valve Seat Pilot Valve Main Valve Pilot Valve Seat Main Valve Holder...
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 and adjustment screw. Apply a small amount of anti-seize to the threads of the main valve seat, pilot valve seat and screen holder to ensure it does not come into contact with other parts.
Troubleshooting NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to WARNING increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal CAUTION pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.
