10. Optional Blowdown Valve BD1
The BD1 Blowdown Valve, installed in place of the screen holder, uses internal pressure to blow
out condensate/steam, dirt and scale to the atmosphere.
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.
• Do not tighten the BD1 valve or the BD1 valve seat in excess of the appropriate tightening
torque. Over-tightening may cause breakage to threaded portions, which may cause burns,
other injuries or damage.
10.1 Reassembly of Blowdown Valve
1. Clean the trap, BD1 threads, and sealing surfaces, and apply a small amount of anti-seize.
2. Replace gasket.
3. Carefully place the gasket over the threaded portion, and position carefully so that it does not
become off-center.
4. Fasten to the steam trap with the proper torque.

10.2 Operation Instructions for BD1
Note: Do not leave the vicinity while the blowdown valve is in the open position.
CAUTION
outlet to avoid contact with internal fluids that will be discharged. Operate the valve slowly and
surely, taking care to avoid the area from which internal fluids are discharged and any fluids
deflected off piping or the ground etc. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
• Do not excessively loosen the BD1 valve when opening the blowdown valve. The valve stopper
pin installed to prevent the BD1 valve from being removed may break and internal pressure may
result in the BD1 valve being blown off, leading to injuries, damage and fluid discharge, causing
burns.
1. With two wrenches, firmly hold the BD1 Valve Seat (Screen Holder) ② (17 mm,
while slowly opening the BD1 Valve ① (14 mm,
will be discharged through the hole in the center of the blowdown valve as the valve opens.
2. Close the BD1 Valve ① and tighten to a torque of 11 N·m (8 lbf·ft), and confirm that there is
no leakage. If leakage continues, dirt or scale may prevent the valve from sealing. Open and
blow out again, then try to close once more.
