3. BACKGROUND • PARKER PGI

4. BACKGROUND • MINIMUM BLEED VALVE • A valve with an actuated handle used in tank filling operations for ammonia and propane tanks. • 1” NPT Minimum Bleed Valve • Composed of A356-T6 aluminum • Design pressure of 400 psi

5. TABLE OF CONTENTS Background Objective and Goals Tasks Completed Incomplete Task Cost Analysis Project Management Q&A Session

6. Objective • To determine the root cause and develop a solution to various issues experienced with Parker PGI’s minimum bleed valve assembly. • Issues Experienced: • Handle mechanism failure • Swivel connection issues

7. goals • Redesign handle to prevent failure at post-production in order to eliminate accidental release • Design a locking mechanism for the swivel connection • Ensure design follows UL 125 specifications and can be used with current repair kits manufactured by Parker PGI • Maintain a fluid release capacity of no more than 7.6 cc’s
