The TLV pressure reducing valve for steam, model COSR provides a more stable secondary pressure than conventional reducing valves. The COSR is designed for long service life, with all major components made of stainless steel for superior durability.
• The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance and repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.

Installing a spacer If spacing adjustment is necessary to accommodate installation, install a spacer on the outlet flange. The spacer should consist of a spacer, gaskets, bolts and nuts. Fit gaskets to both sides of the spacer between the product outlet and the pipe flange. Fasten with bolts and nuts. Piping support Install the product, paying attention to avoid excessive load, bending and vibration.

Pilot Body Plug Rc(PT) Plug PF (sizes 65 to 100 mm for COSR-16HT) Blind Pin Main Body Connecting Tube Pilot Body Bolt Loosen and remove the pilot body bolt (F) or the pilot cover (65 to 150 mm) and remove the pilot body (A).
Adjustment The product should be properly adjusted for protection of the equipment against water hammer. 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 equipment.
Maintenance Caution 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 the discharge of fluids. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.
Disassembly Caution Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall. Caution When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.
