The Spence BF-3/4-KIT is a complete bends and fittings kit specifically designed for the 3/4-inch Spence Type E main valve. This essential hardware package facilitates the critical connection between the external pilot and the main regulator body, ensuring the hydraulic or pneumatic pilot signal is delivered without pressure loss. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the integrity of these external sensing lines is paramount for the stable operation of steam pressure reducing valves and temperature regulators in industrial piping systems. Each fitting is precision-machined for a leak-proof connection, providing superior corrosion resistance to withstand the high-temperature and high-pressure environments common in commercial boiler rooms and district heating systems. Utilizing the Spence Engineering BF-3/4-KIT as an OEM-spec solution prevents the common hunting and overshooting issues caused by improper field-fabricated piping. Whether you are performing a full Type E valve overhaul or replacing damaged sensing lines, this kit provides the precise geometry and fitting specifications required for a standard NPT installation on 3/4" Spence valves.

Key Benefits for the Contractor:
  • OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered for a seamless fit with all 3/4" Spence Type E main regulators.
  • Enhanced Durability: Robust construction designed to resist vibration and thermal expansion in industrial steam applications.
  • Optimal Signal Delivery: Ensures the pilot signal reaches the main valve diaphragm without restriction to prevent valve hunting.
  • Simplified Installation: Pre-formed bends eliminate the need for manual pipe threading and bending in the field, reducing labor time.
  • Leak-Proof Reliability: High-tolerance threading ensures secure, leak-free operation under continuous duty cycles.
Common Questions:

Is this kit compatible with other valve brands?
No, this Spence BF-3/4-KIT is specifically dimensioned for the Spence Type E main valve series and may not align with the pilot ports of other manufacturers.

Does this kit include the pilot or the main valve?
This is a bends and fittings kit only. It includes the necessary copper or steel tubing and connectors to link a pilot to a 3/4" valve body, but the pilot and main valve must be purchased separately.

Why should I use this kit instead of standard NPT fittings?
Using genuine Spence parts ensures the correct bridge length and assembly height, which is critical for maintaining the proper steam valve flow characteristics and system safety.
