Note: If the valve is not operating correctly, make sure that the alignment tab is extending
from the cap slot. If the tab is in place, disassemble the valve and inspect the parts for wear,
cracks, and dirt. Verify that the diaphragm is seated correctly (Figure 3).

Cleaning Instructions

Disconnect the valve from the circuit. Position one hand so that four fingers are pressing
down on the top of the valve cap. Cradle the outlet end of the valve between your thumb
and forefinger. With the thumb of your other hand, press up on the cap removal tab. Be sure
your thumb is as close to the inside of the tab as possible. Remove the diaphragm by pulling
up on the alignment tab (Figure 3).
Note: It is normal for the valve cap to bend slightly when you are applying pressure to
remove it.
1. Home Use: Gently wash the valve parts in a solution of warm water and a mild
dishwashing detergent.
Institutional Use: Disinfect the valve parts with Cidex; refer to the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the level of decontamination that can be achieved. Using a
disinfectant may reduce the useful life of the valve.
Caution: Do not use bleach, alcohol, cleaning solutions containing bleach or alcohol, or
cleaning solutions containing conditioners or moisturizers.
2. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before re-assembly.
3. Inspect the valve after each cleaning to ensure it maintains its integrity, and replace if
damaged or worn. The valve should last approximately 10 cycles when cleaned according
to the institutional use instructions. Verify the valve function.
Note: Replace the diaphragm after six months of use.
Reassembling the Valve
Inspect the diaphragm for tears and the valve body and cap for any damage. Discard and
replace any damaged parts. Position the diaphragm so its rim faces toward the valve cap
(Figure 3). Align the notch in the diaphragm with the tab on the valve cap, and align the
tab on the diaphragm with the notch in the valve cap. Press down around the edge of the
diaphragm so that the rim is secured in the valve cap. Align the tab on the valve cap with the
notch on the valve body. Press the cap and valve body together.
Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
