Spence BF-3-KIT Bends & Fittings

For veteran contractors servicing steam pressure reducing valves, the Spence BF-3-KIT provides the essential bends and fittings required for 3-inch Type E main valves. This pilot-operated valve kit is engineered to facilitate the critical connection between the primary valve body and the pilot controller, ensuring the precise pressure regulation and steam flow control required in industrial and commercial HVACR plants. Each component in this HVAC repair kit is precision-machined to match OEM specifications, preventing the common pressure fluctuations or "hunting" caused by improper tube sizing or obstructed orifices. In a professional steam system maintenance setting, using the correct Spence Engineering fittings is non-negotiable for maintaining the integrity of the pilot signal line. This kit supports both single and double pilot configurations, allowing for seamless integration of pressure, temperature, or solenoid pilots on any 3" E-Series chassis. By replacing worn or corroded tubing bends with these high-grade components, technicians can ensure leak-proof operation and optimal response times across the entire pressure management range.

• Specifically engineered for 3-inch Spence Type E main valves to ensure exact dimensional alignment.
• Constructed from heavy-duty materials to resist corrosion in high-temperature steam environments.
• Includes the vital bleed port orifice and restriction elbows necessary for proper pilot-to-main-valve communication.
• Reduces system downtime by providing all required steam valve fittings in a single, pre-configured package.
• Maintains factory-certified performance standards for industrial steam regulators.

Is this kit compatible with other valve brands?
No. The Spence BF-3-KIT is designed strictly for Spence Engineering E-Valves. Attempting to cross-reference with other manufacturers often leads to incorrect orifice sizing and system failure.

Does this kit include the pilot union?
This kit focuses on the tubing bends and specific fittings like the 4A bleed port and 5A restriction elbow. Check your specific pilot-to-main configurations if additional pipe nipples are required for a side-mount setup.

Why is the bleed port fitting critical?
The bleed port contains a calibrated orifice (typically 3/32") that allows the pilot to exhaust loading pressure. Without the specific Spence orifice fitting, the main valve will not modulate correctly or may fail to open.
