9.  Remove and discard the o-ring (12) from the relay 

piston (13).

10. Remove and discard dust shield (16), if fi tted, and the 

retaining ring (15) from the valve cover (2), then remove 
and discard the exhaust piston (17 or 17A).

11. Remove and discard the exhaust piston o-ring (18) and 

the exhaust diaphragm (19), if fi tted.

12. Remove and discard the service piston (20) and its 

o-ring (21) from the valve cover (2).

13. Remove the spring (22) and spring cage (23) from the 

valve cover (2).  Discard the spring and retain the spring 
cage.

14. Use shop air at the control port to extract the blend back 

piston from the valve cover (2).  Retain the blend back 
piston (24), then remove and discard both o-rings (25 
& 26).

15. Remove and retain the proportioning piston (28) from 

the valve cover (2), then remove and discard both 
o-rings (27 & 29).

16. While holding the inlet valve seat (32) in place, remove 

and discard the retaining ring (30) from the proportion-
ing piston (28).

17. Remove the inlet valve seat (32), the inlet valve (33), 

and the valve spring (34) from the proportioning piston 
(28), then remove and discard the o-ring (31) from the 
valve seat (32). Discard the valve and spring (33 & 34) 
also.

18. Remove and discard the exhaust cover screw (36) and 

exhaust cover (37).

CLEANING & INSPECTION

1.  Using mineral spirits or an equivalent solvent, clean and 

thoroughly dry all metal parts.  Do not damage bores 
with metal tools.

2.  Wash all non-metallic components (key nos. 4, 12, 17, 

20, 23, 24, 28, 32) in a soap and water solution making 
certain to rinse and dry thoroughly.

3.  Inspect the interior and exterior of all metal parts that 

will be reused for severe corrosion, pitting and cracks. 
Superfi cial corrosion and/or pitting on the exterior por-
tion of the body (1) and cover (2) is acceptable. Replace 
the entire valve if the interior of the body or cover exhibit 
signs of corrosion or pitting.

4.  Inspect each non-metallic component for cracks, wear 

or distortion. Replace the entire valve if these conditions 
are found.

5.  Inspect the bores of both the body (1) and cover (2) 

for deep scuffi ng or gouges. Replace the entire valve if 
either are found.

6.  Make certain the air channel running between the top 

surface of the body (1) and its supply port is clear and 
free of obstruction.

7.  Make certain all air channels and exhaust passages in 

the valve cover (2) are clear and free of obstruction.

8.  Inspect the pipe threads in the body (1) and valve cover 

(2). Make certain they are clean and free of thread 
sealant.

9.  If the valve was equipped with a relay piston spring 

(14), inspect it for signs of corrosion, pitting and cracks. 
Replace as necessary.

10. Inspect all air line fi ttings for corrosion and replace 

as necessary. Make certain to remove all old thread 
sealant before reuse.

ASSEMBLY

1.  Prior to assembly, lubricate all o-rings (identify by using 

Figure 11), seals, and pistons as well as body and cover 
bores, using the lubricant provided with the Bendix 
maintenance kit. Use all of the lubricant and spread it 
evenly on the rubbing surfaces.

2.  Install the o-ring (31) on the inlet valve seat (32).
