"TR & TR2" STEM/SEAT ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL OF PTFE SNAP-ON SEAT
1.
Refer to valve disassembly section to remove stem / seat assembly
from valve.
2.
Using a knife, partially cut through the upper ring portion of Snap-On
Seat, avoiding contact with stainless steel stem. Grasp both cut
ends of Snap-On Seat and force apart for removal from Stem. Since
there are no slots, the TR2 seat will require cutting through sides and
base of seat.
INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT PTFE SNAP-ON SEAT
Tri-Clover’s replacement Snap-On Seats do not require heat or special
tools for proper installation. Snap-On Seats are installed by applying
uniform pressure on all sides. Pressure can be applied by using a Tri-
Clamp or Bevel Seat ferrule the same size as the valve.
Due to the greater force required to instal the TR2 style seat, we
recommend using a TR2 seat tool. This holds the seat more
securely and can also be used on standard TR seat installation.
