Bladder Gate Valve and Bladder Hose
Principle of the Bladder Gate Valve and Bladder Hose
The bladder gate valve provides water flow control in maintaining the bladder and
filling the furnace with water. The bladder hose provides a means for the water to freely flow from the water
jacket to the bladder allowing expansion and contraction.
Maintenance / Result
To maintain the bladder gate valve, open and close the valve periodically to prevent it from seizing. Ensure that
the hose clamp is tightly fastened, securing the bladder hose to the bladder and to the bladder gate valve.
Removal and Replacement
1) Turn off the power to the furnace.
2) Drain some of the water from the furnace to prevent water from draining while you are
replacing the valve.
3) Loosen the hose clamp holding the bladder hose to the bladder gate valve.
4) Remove the bladder hose from the bladder gate valve and let the water drain from the bladder.
5) Remove the old bladder gate valve and install the new bladder gate valve.
6) Attach the bladder hose to the bladder gate valve and tighten the hose clamp.
7) Keeping the bladder gate valve closed, add water until furnace is full.
8) Open the bladder gate valve and follow the “Filling the Bladder with Water” instructions.
9) Turn on the power to the furnace.
