Warning
: Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in
compliance with all Engineered Controls International Inc. instructions as well all
requirements and provisions of National, and Local standards, codes, regulations,
and laws.
Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential. Installation and
maintenance should be performed only by qualified personnel.
Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation, operation and
maintenance. These instructions must be passed on to the end user of the valve.
Caution: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, anhydrous ammonia, and their
vapors can cause serious injury and death! NH3 and LP-Gas must be released
outdoors in air currents that will ensure dispersion to prevent exposure to people
and livestock. LP-gas must be kept far enough from open flame or other source if
ignition to prevent fire or explosion! LP-Gas is heavier than air and will not disperse
or evaporate rapidly if released in still air!

Installation:

1. Apply a pipe joint compound suitable for LP-Gas (such as PTFE tape) to the male
threads valve.
2. Before connecting to a container, inspect all taper connections for foreign material. If
any is found, remove it.
3. Insert the valve into the container. Hand tighten.
4. With a suitable wrench turn two to three wrenching turns beyond hand tight to create
a seal.
5. Follow all local and national codes and standards for pressure testing and leak
checking the installation.

Operation:

The A8016DBC valves are designed specifically for use as a manual
filler valve on storage and applicator containers. This valve incorporates an integral
back-check valve.
1. Follow your company's established filling procedures.
2. Wear eye protection.
3. Wear suitable gloves to prevent freeze burns.
4. Remove the protective cap from the ACME connection. Connect filler hose to the
ACME connection, and turn clockwise until hand tight.
5. Ensure all threads engage smoothly and easily. Do not hammer or force the valve.
6. Open hose end valve on filler hose first, then open the A8016DBC valve.
7. When opening the valve, turn the hand-wheel counterclockwise, and ensure that it is
opened fully (back-seat). Do not partially open the valve. Observe the valve
connections. There should be no leak. If a leak develops, close the valve and correct
the problem.
