Amico Threaded Ball-Valve - Manual (Page 6)

Operate shutoff valves periodically and repair them if seals tend to stick or leak. Notify all appropriate personnel before
shutting off any gas supply.
WARNING: To protect the lives of patients, always notify the appropriate medical facility staff before shutting
off the supply of medical gas or vacuum through a shutoff valve. Do not close shutoff valves except in cases of
emergency or maintenance.
Clean the exterior of the valve boxes routinely with soap and water. Strong solvents may damage the Lexan window.
Authorized hospital personnel should close shutoff valves in the event of fire, explosion or damage to the pipeline
systems or equipment.
In Valve Boxes, the Shutoff Valve handles become accessible after the window has been removed from the valve box.
To remove the window, grasp the ring and pull outwards. Turn valve handle towards you to shut off the flow of gas or
vacuum.
Zone Valves have a swingout design body which makes changing the internal components of the ball valve easier.
All Valve bodies can be accessed by loosening all bolts and nuts and removing only one bolt. At this point the valve body
can be swung out for servicing.
