    Hi All, There are two of these devices installed on my heating system. I checked the TACO website and can't seem to match up what I have with what's on their site. Does anyone have any info on these decvices? Most importantly, how does one adjust the thumbscrew at the top? Thanks,Roland

    Flow check

    Roland that device is a flow check valve, used to prevent gravity circulation in your system. The knurled knob at the top is used to manually open the check.

    brass nut it is just a packing nut so don't over do it just enough to keep from weeping water

    The Taco 241 Flo-check valve is commonly used in a hot water system when zoning with circulators. The primary function is to prevent thermal siphoning. For your reference I attached the catalog data, and the instruction sheet. Hopefully this helps you.
