BLEED AIR CONTROL SYSTEMMAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. General
Bleed air system maintenance includes cleaning, testing and replacing the bleed control valve.
2. Bleed Air Control Valve (See Figure 201, 751001)
Test the bleed control valve on an installed engine. Clean the bleed valve if it does not operate in the
range given in Figure 13, 720000, EngineDescription and Operation. Clean valve in accordance with
Bleed Valve Cleaning, para 6.B.(18), 723000. Replace the bleed control valve as follows if cleaning
does not bring the valve into the desired operating range.
A. Removal
(1) Disconnect the compressor discharge pressure sensing tube assembly by loosening the
coupling nut at the valve elbow.
(2) Remove the three bolts, nuts and washers. Separate the bleed control valve and gasket from
the mounting flange on the bleed valve adapter. Discard gasket.
(3) Remove the elbow from the bleed valve. Discard packing.
B. Installation
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, ALIGN AND TIGHTEN FUEL, OIL, AND AIR
FITTINGS AND TUBES COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.
(1) Lubricate new packing and install it on the elbow. Install the elbow in the replacement bleed
valve. Do not tighten the jam nut at this time.
(2) Apply antiseize compound to bolt threads then install the replacement bleed control valve and
gasket on the mounting flange. For P/N 23039904 and prior bleed valves, retain with one
1/428 bolt and nut, two No. 1032 bolts and nuts, and three washers. Assemble with
washers beneath bolt heads. Tighten 1/428 nut to 7085 lb in. (7.99.6 N.m). Tighten No.
1032 nuts to 3540 lb in. (3.94.5 N.m). For P/N 23038951 and subsequent bleed valves,
retain with three No. 1032 bolts and nuts, and three washers. Assemble with washers
beneath bolt heads. Tighten nuts to 3540 lb in. (3.94.5 N.m).
(3) Attach the compressor discharge pressure sensing tube assembly to the bleed control valve
with the coupling nut. Tighten the elbow jam nut to 5580 lb in. (6.29.0 N.m), after final elbow
positioning is determined. Secure nut with lockwire. Tighten coupling nut to 80120 lb in.
(9.013.6 N.m).
