[Term]Constant bleed
A feature that provides a continuous flow of gas through the valve via an orifice when it is closed. This feature is used with the AP71 and AP72 series to keep exhaust lines inert. It is also available as an option to certain standard shut off valves to provide a bleed to keep the cylinder connection inert while disconnected from a cylinder.
