TAKING
This dispensing valve shank nut torque procedure must be followed (a) if a Delta valve has not previously
been torqued and staked, (b) if the shank nut on a Delta stainless steel valve that has been staked is later
removed and then reinstalled, or (c) the FCB equipment has a Motorman valve. The processes for check-
ing the torque of the shank nut for both the Delta and Motorman valve configurations and for staking the
shank nut (Delta valve configuration ONLY) are detailed in this Procedure. The Cornelius tool (part num-
ber 620711709) to be used to torque the shank nut can be purchased by contacting BEVCORe at 763-
488-3000.
NOTE: When reinstalling a shank nut that has been removed from a staked Delta valve, the shank
nut must be FLUSH with the faceplate before applying the torque setting. If the thread or shank
nut have been damaged during removal and/or the shank nut cannot be installed flush with the
faceplate, the valve should be replaced.
WARNING: Failure to torque the shank nut to 10 lb-ft (120 lb-in) may result in loosening of shank
nut which eventually may become detached from valve. Valve will then be forced from face plate
and contents of dispenser will spill out. Follow torquing and staking procedures carefully using
tools designated to retain shank nut on valve.
The following procedure details the proper method to apply torque to the shank nut on Pinnacle dispens-
ing valves, both Delta and Motorman configurations. This procedure begins with the faceplate assembly
removed from the barrel and the inside surface of faceplate wiped dry, especially around shank nut. (See
section “COMPONENT SERVICE” steps 1-4 on Page 38 for instructions to drain barrels).

Cornelius provided Service Bulletin number TSB-06-3 concerning the proper torquing and staking of
FCB equipment using the Delta stainless steel dispensing valve. The procedures in the Service Bulletin
ensured that the shank nut used to retain the Delta dispensing valve to the faceplate was tightened to the
correct torque and then staked so that the shank nut could not be dislodged. All newly manufactured
equipment utilizing the Delta dispense valve, beginning with serial numbers 62B0620FC001, has been
staked in the factory. Consequently, all Delta valves should now be torqued and staked. A procedure for
properly attaching and torquing a Motorman Valve is also included.
