Dry Disconnect – 1" Adaptor Maintenance
1" DRYLOK ADAPTORS:
WARNING
OPW ENGINEERED SYSTEMS cannot be held
responsible for the integrity of a Field rebuilt product. To minimize the
possibility of physical injury and obtain the best possible functioning
product after rebuilt, it is strongly recommended that the procedures
outlined be followed to Tear down, Re-assemble and Test the product
before placing the unit back into service. Reference the enclosed illus-
trations to facilitate identification of parts.
TEAR DOWN INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Clamp the ADAPTOR (1) in vise with soft jaws, with the threaded end
pointing up towards you. Take care not to mar machined surfaces of
ADAPTOR NOSE (1).
2.
Using needle nose pliers, unthread BRIDGE (2) from ADAPTOR (1),
exercising care and caution. POPPET ASS’Y (3) in valve is spring
loaded. SPRING force on the 1" Drylok adaptor is approximately
28 pounds.
3.
Remove POPPET ASS’Y (3) and SPRING (4).The POPPET ASS’Y is not
included in the Repair Parts Kit. It will be necessary to replace the
old O-RING (5).
4.
Position POPPET ASS’Y (3) in collet or vise with soft jaws. Carefully
pry O-RING (5) out of the POPPET ASS’Y groove (be careful not to
scratch the groove seat with the prying tool. This could result in an
O-RING leak). Discard old O-RING.
RE-ASSEMBLE INSTRUCTIONS:
5.
Re-assemble POPPET ASS’Y (3) and new ORING (5)
in the following manner:
a) Position new O-RING (5) on top of POPPET ASS’Y (3).
b) With your thumb, press a section of the O-RING
into the groove.
c) Press the O-RING around the POPPET ASS’Y and over the
groove lip (it is necessary to slightly stretch the O-RING to
accomplish this).
d) Continue pressing the O-RING around the POPPET ASS’Y
until the O-RING is seated in the groove.
NOTE:
Teflon encapsulated O-RINGS should be heated in hot water for
easier installation.
6.
Install rebuilt POPPET ASS’Y (3) with O-RING (5) into ADAPTOR (1).
Install SPRING (4) behind POPPET ASS’Y (3). Thread BRIDGE (2) into
ADAPTOR (1). Poppet shaft should fit into BRIDGE (2) bore freely.
7.
Once started, thread BRIDGE (2) all the way into ADAPTOR (1) until
it abruptly stops and will tighten no further. Again, take care not to
mar machined surfaces of ADAPTOR (1). TEST PROCEDURE
It is recommended that the VALVE be pressure tested utilizing the air
under water method, checking for leaks in the area of the POPPET seat.
Air pressure must not exceed 30 PSI. If pressurized air is not available,
low pressure leaks could be checked by submerging the entire ADAP-
TOR face up in a container of clear water. Air trapped inside the VALVE
will bubble through or around the POPPET if the seal is not proper. This
test should be repeated three or four times to ensure that the seal does
not leak. Depress and release the POPPET each time before submerging
the unit into water.
