How to Open Valve B in Silent Hill Townfall
Updated 2026-09-27 · Category: Puzzles
To open Valve B in Silent Hill: Townfall, go to the control room on the upper floor of SWDP – Different in Chapter 15, Trying Again. You need the Access Card from the JOE room to get in. At the panel with the printer above it, flip both switches to turn it on, then press OPEN (top-left corner), VALVE (the circle with a red line through it), enter 245 and press ENTER. 245 is the number shown on Valve B in the camera feed. Next enter START, FILTER and 130, and the panel gives you 0825, the code for the locker holding the AUX Key.

Getting into the control room
SWDP – Different starts in Chapter 15, and its map is added automatically as you arrive. The control room is locked until you have the Access Card.
- Take the JOE Key from a table in the corner of the room with the computer.
- Open the door marked JOE in the southwest corner with it.
- Squeeze through the gap in the wall and take the Access Card from the counter beside the bed.
- Go back to the main area, up to the upper floor, and open the door on the east side with the Access Card. This is the control room.
- Pick up the Remote Systems Control clue to the right of the panel.
Entering the Valve B command
Every command on this panel works the same way: an action switch, a system switch, a three-digit number, then ENTER at the bottom right.
- At the panel with the printer above it, use the two switches to turn it on.
- Press OPEN, the switch in the top-left corner.
- Press VALVE, the circle with a red line through it.
- Enter 245, the number on Valve B in the camera view, and press ENTER.
- Press START (the green arrow in the first column), then FILTER (the middle button in the right column), enter 130 from the filter-unit camera, and press ENTER.
- The panel gives you the code 0825. Open the locker to the right with it and take the AUX Key.
Reading the numbers from the cameras
Most numbers for this panel are read off a camera feed or a paper in the room, so you are copying them rather than working them out. The full set for Chapter 15:
- FLUSH: second row, second column
- AUXILIARY: one up from the bottom right
- STOP: the red square
- REGULATOR: the green and red dial
- UNLOCK: the open padlock
- DOOR: the door icon in the top row
| Command | Action + system | Number | Where the number comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OPEN + VALVE | 245 | Valve B, in the camera |
| 2 | START + FILTER | 130 | The filter-unit camera |
| 3 | FLUSH + AUXILIARY | 246 | The paper to the right of the panel |
| 4 | STOP + REGULATOR | 781 | The Regulator Systems camera |
| 5 | UNLOCK + DOOR | 592 | The Valves D–F camera |

Silent Hill Townfall Wiki · original text diagram, no AI or game assets · Material statementAfter Valve B: the AUX room and the auxiliary lines
- Take the elevator back down and open the AUX room in the northwest corner of that floor with the AUX Key.
- Open the cabinet and take the AUX Disk from the top-left shelf.
- Insert the disk on the left of the computer and read the Auxiliary Lines file.
- Set each wall switch to match Auxiliary Lines. Lines 1 and 2 start from the wall facing away from the computer. Count the painted lines beside a switch to know which line it belongs to, and point it the way the arrow goes. A line's light turns green when it is right.
Back at the panel: the remaining commands
- Go back up to the control room and enter FLUSH + AUXILIARY + 246.
- Enter STOP + REGULATOR + 781.
- Enter UNLOCK + DOOR + 592.
- UNLOCK + DOOR with 621, 047 and 793 opens the other doors in the area below. Do this before leaving.
- Two Lockbox Keys in SWDP open resource containers: one on a counter in the west room at the top of the south stairs, for the container right of the panel; one on the counter of the northwest room on the lower floor, for the container in the long valve room on the east side.
Valve F and the clamp release
After turning Valve F, go back up to the control room and take the Clamp Release Procedure from the printer on the left. Set every control on the panel opposite as it says, press the flashing green RELEASE button, then go down and turn the red crank. Can't Change Things unlocks.
Our source material says only "after turning Valve F"; it does not say where Valve F is or how you reach it.
If the panel does not accept 245
- Check the panel is on. Both switches on the panel with the printer have to be flipped first.
- Check the buttons. OPEN is the top-left switch, not UNLOCK (the open padlock); VALVE is the circle with the red line, not DOOR.
- Press ENTER at the bottom right after the number.
- Read the number yourself from the Valve B camera. PowerPyx describes 245 as the number visible on Valve B, so the camera is the thing to trust.
- Pick up the clues in the room first. PowerPyx's speedrun guide says the game generally will not let you finish a puzzle until you have its clues, even if you know the answer.
What we have not verified
Everything on this page comes from one source, PowerPyx's Part 6 guide; we have not played it ourselves. Our material gives the Valve B number as 245 and nowhere as 254, so we have no conflict to report, but it is one source. Also unconfirmed: where Valve F is and how it is turned, and whether the Remote Systems Control clue must be picked up before the panel accepts a command.
