BLOWDOWN VALVE

There are four blowdown valves on the boiler, the boiler blowdown valve at the rear of the boiler,
the water column blowdown valve and two water level gauge (sight glass) blowdown valves.
All of these valves must be connected to a blowdown receptacle of approved design.
Regulations exist covering such items and care must be taken to ensure compliance with these
regulations.
If in doubt regarding blowdown arrangements, consult Fulton Ltd.
Note: 8J - 15J main blowdown connection is via a branch pipe.
Note: 20J - 60J main blowdown connection is integral, via a boiler mounted flange.
Where possible the main blowdown pipework on 20J - 60J boilers should drop down to a union connection to
allow removal of the inspection flange without the necessity to remove the blowdown pipework.
