b. For disc sizes “K” through “T”, reassemble the
Disc using a new O-Ring, O-Ring Retainer, and
new Lock Screws. Refer to Table 10 for the proper
torque.
(i) Prior to assembly of the Disc into the Disc
Holder, remove the Disc Retainer from the back
of the Disc. Use 1000 grit grinding compound
on the bearing surface to grind the Disc into the
Disc Holder to properly establish the bearing
surface.
(ii) Place the Disc Retainer into the groove in
the disc. The Disc with the Disc Retainer
should “snap” into the Disc Holder pocket with
moderate finger or hand force. Do not use
excessive force to assemble these parts. Be
sure that the Disc is free to “wobble” after it is in
place.
3. Set the Disc Holder (disc side down), on the work
surface. Place a small amount of 1000 grit grinding
compound onto the ball end of the Main Valve Piston
and place it in the disc holder pocket. Turn the Main
Valve Piston clockwise, and then counter clockwise,
to seat the Main Valve Piston. Clean all grinding
compound from parts.
4. Place the Spring down onto the Disc Holder.
5. Place the Guide over the Disc Holder. (DO NOT
DROP.) If Bellows is present, the weight of the Guide
will slightly compress the Bellows.
6. Place the Guide Gasket in the Base.
7. Install disc guide assembly. Use the same lifting tool
(see Figure 14) as was used during disassembly, then
carefully lower it into the Base.
8. Using a small amount of Silicone Grease supplied with
soft goods replacement kit, rub a small amount on the
seals and O-Rings prior to assembly.
9. Take the Main Valve Piston and measure and cut
diagonally the proper length of Guide Ring material to
fit in the groove of the Main Valve Piston. Allow 1/16 of
an inch (1.59 mm) gap between the ends for proper fit.
10. For Teflon seals make sure of the integrity of the
Teflon seal and seal spring. Install Disc Seal on Disc
outside diameter on the opposite end of the disc seat
as shown in Figure 28.
If an O-Ring seal is used, it is installed in the groove
between where the Guide Ring is installed and where
a Spring Energized Seal would be installed (Figure
28).
11. Install the Guide Ring(s) onto the Main Valve Piston.
If there is more than one Guide Ring, stagger the cut
locations 180° apart.
12. To prevent seal damage during assembly, check the
chamfer on the bottom of the Cover Plate for burrs. If
any sharp edges exist, polish the chamfer.
13. Insert Main Valve Piston (energize seal/O-Ring side
first) into bottom of Cover Plate. Continue pushing
Main Valve Piston into Cover Plate, being careful
not to pinch the guide rings. Push Main Valve Piston
in until bottom of Main Valve Piston is even with the
bottom of the Cover Plate.
14. Install 1/4” MNPT pipe plug into Cover Plate where
dome line connects.
