Technical Bulletin_ OmniJet Valve Body Alignment

THIS IS A RECOMMENDED ALERT: When the OmniJet Valve Body is installed into the mounting collar, proper alignment is required with the High Pressure inlet to ensure a good seal is made with the High Pressure fitting. Jet Edge has released a self-aligning Valve Body (PN 110607) and collar set that ensures alignment and sealing on the first attempt.

Jet Edge issues Critical, Recommended and Informational updates through the use of Technical Bulletins. In order to keep your equipment safely operating at all times, it is strongly recommended that updates be implemented in a timely manner.
