Supply via quick-connect outlet (12).

Before connecting all the auxiliary devices (e.g.: probe), check compatibility with valve characteristics. Connect the probe or other
equipment to the fast-connect outlet, paying attention to the warnings provided in Appendix A and check correct positioning.
Open the on/off valve (4) slowly, turning this counter clockwise.
The flow selection knob (13) must be set to "0".
Shut-off
Close the on-off valve (4) turning this in a clockwise direction. Do not torque to more than 3 Nm.
To disconnect the appliances connected to the fast-connect outlet (12), following the instructions provided in
Appendix A.
WARNING: during use of the fast-connect outlet (12), flow rate cannot be adjusted (2400 nl/h).
Pay particular attention during the connection phase as faulty connection to the fast-connect outlet (12) may
cause leaks and/or ejection of this, with the risk of accidents. For correct connection, see Appendix A.
Make sure that flow rate is compatible with the equipment connected to the valve.
WARNINGS:
Opening the on/off valve (4) too quickly may increase the risk of fire or explosion due to the high outlet
pressure of the gas. Insufficient opening may restrict the supply of gas.
•
If the gas is not used for long periods (in any case for more than 4 hours), always interrupt the flow of gas using the on/off
valve (4).
•
The gauge (14) indicates the pressure of the gas contained in the cylinder regardless of the open or closed position of the
on/off valve (4) (only for active gauge version valves).
If the valve is fitted with a non-active gauge, to check the presence of gas in the cylinder, turn the on/off valve (4) counter
clockwise and check available pressure in the cylinder on the gauge (14).

Periodic inspections

Always make the following checks after each filling operation:
•
Damage to the cylinder.
•
Damage to the cap (if present).
•
Gauge (14) functions correctly and is not damaged.
•
Normal rotation of the flow selection knob (13).
•
Damage to the hose barb (11).
•
The presence of the O-ring in the filling port cap (8).
•
Cleanliness, the presence of rust or dirt, dust or other substances deposited on the valve.
Life cycle.
The valve comprises various fragile components due to unavoidable technical requirements of valve design.
The valve must be replaced during retesting of cylinder (every 10 years).
The valve replaced must be disposed of in accordance with national regulations.

Valve traceability.

Valve traceability is assured by the numbers marked on the body of the valve and on packaging.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness of the valve, periodic maintenance and protection using specific plugs is the responsibility of the owner of the valve.
For general cleaning (always and only external) of the valve, use a cloth damped in soap and water and rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
