A. General Information

Once the valve is disassembled, the appropriate parts 

can be inspected for damage and their suitability for 

reuse.

B. Specific Steps

1.

  Inspect the guide inside diameter for egging, and 

insure the inside surface is smooth. The threads 

on the outside must be in good condition to insure 

the adjusting ring/guide will adjust when the valve 

is hot. If serious, large scale galling or ridges 

corresponding to the grooves in the disc are 

present, the part should be replaced.

2.  Disc :

  The Flat Solid Disc (FSD) and the Thermodisc Disc 

(TD). Each of these disc designs is available in 

either a low pressure (LP) or high pressure (HP) 

version.
