THIS DOCUMENT PROVIDES THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
VALVE, THEREFORE IT IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE
VALVE ITSELF AND MUST BE READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE ANY USE AND KEPT WITH CARE.
STRICTLY COMPLY
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IN VIEW OF A SAFE
AND EFFECTIVE USE OF THE VALVE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MIGHT CAUSE EARLY FAULTS AND RESULT IN
SITUATIONS OF DANGER, IN ADDITION TO VOIDING
ANY WARRANTY.
1- GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1- The BKX600 automatic pressure regulator is a
manually-adjustable, pressure-operated
according to its setting, limits the pump/system pressure by
conveying the excess of water to the by-pass.
Moreover, when the outlet flow is blocked, this device totally
releases the flow, thus reducing the pressure throughout the
system.
2- INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESSURE SETTING:
2.1- In order to obtain a correct adjustment and
consequently a proper functioning of the valve, always
make sure that, when working at the maximum pressure,
the valve by-pass keeps releasing a quantity of water equal
to 5% of the total flow-rate. In case the flow-rate at the by-
pass is close to zero or exceeds 15% of the maximum flow-
rate, this could cause faults, early wear and result in
situations of danger.
The positions mentioned in the following instructions refer
to those shown in the exploded view (page 3).
2.2- Connect the valve to the water system and follow these
steps:
2.2.1- Unscrew and remove the cap pos. 30.
2.2.2- Unloose the nut pos. 28 and unscrew the adjustment
screw pos. 29 in order to completely release the spring.
2.2.3- Open the gun or the water control device and start
the system. Make sure that the air contained in it is fully
ejected.
2.2.4- Keeping the gun or the water control device open, start
adjusting the pressure by screwing down the screw pos.29.
Alternate the adjusting operations with a few

openings and closings of the gun or of the control device.
When the desired pressure has been reached, open and
close the gun/control device a few times again in order to
stabilize the various components (seals, springs etc.). Check
the pressure value again and correct if necessary.
2.2.5- Lock the screw pos. 29 by tightening the nut pos. 28.
2.2.6- In order to obtain working pressures lower than the
maximum set pressure, unloose the nut pos. 28 and turn the
screw pos. 29 counter-clockwise.
2.2.7- Fit back the cap pos. 30.
In case of doubts, do not hesitate to contact
the after-sales service of Interpump Group.
IMPORTANT: During use, never exceed the
maximum values of pressure, flow-rate and
temperature as stated in this document
which,
and/or indicated on the valve.
3- WARNINGS
3.1- Use guns or other control devices ensuring a perfect seal
when closed. Leakages may compromise the correct
functioning of the valve.
3.2- For safety reasons, it is advisable to equip the high
pressure feeding line of the system also with a relief or safety
valve duly adjusted.
3.3- Connect the fittings to the G1/2" and G3/4" threads of
the valve and tighten (torque wrench settings 90Nm ±5%
and 120Nm ±5% respectively). In order to ensure the seal,
fit a metal washer with a rubber ring between the fittings, or
use a proper sealant on the thread.
