QUICK RELEASE VALVE
SERVICE INFORMATION
Table of
Contents
General
The quick release valve shortens the time required to vent air pressure from a
cylinder or other pneumatic device. This is made possible by exhausting the air
pressure directly to atmosphere at the quick release valve instead of back through
the control valve.
Adjustment
The quick release valve does not require adjustment.
Maintenance
By removing the screws and washers, the cover can be removed for easy
replacement of the diaphragm without disturbing the piping connections.
When complete disassembly is required, wash all metal parts with nonflammable
solvent. Wash all rubber parts with soap and water. Rinse all parts thoroughly and
blow dry with a low-pressure air jet. Replace the diaphragm and the gasket if
damaged or worn. Reassemble the valve and check for leaks during operation. No
lubrication is required.
