Service Instructions

Periodically inspect the Model 3DV Triple Duty Valve for signs of leakage or corrosion.

WARNING: Corrosion or leakage are indications that the Model 3DV Triple Duty Valve must be replaced. Failure

to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death and property damage.

CAUTION: Installation and maintenance must be preformed by a qualified professional. Service should not

be preformed on any valve in an active Hydronic loop. Before attempting to make any required adjustments,

properly isolate and drain the branch loops that require service and allow the valves to reach a safe handling

temperature and zero pressure condition. Use proper safety equipment including gloves, goggles, or similar

tools to avoid contact with system fluids and common hazards. Failure to follow these instructions could result

in personal injury and property damage.

Any field adjustment of factory installed components will break the original thread seal and could cause leakage. This

will necessitate the removal, cleaning, and resealing of those parts per the instructions below.

Should any adjustment or servicing of P/T readout ports or drain plugs be required, please take the following steps:

1. Completely remove the desired component from the valve.

2. Taking care not to damage any threads on the component or the valve, clean off all of the old thread sealant. Use a

wire brush and gentle abrasion if necessary. Allow the valve and the component to dry.

Note: If the component or valve appears to have been damaged, replace it.

3. Starting with the second thread of the NPT male valve component, apply a 360° bead of Loctite 567 thread sealant/

lubricant as shown below. Follow Loctite handling precautions as noted on the product labeling.
