Normal valve maintenance will be to only clean 
the parts. it may also be necessary to replace 
the seat. the piston seal should not need to be 
replaced. if the piston seal is removed, a new 
seal must be installed.
the piston can be removed from the cap/liner 
by pulling the piston out or by pushing it out 
with a rod through the hole in the top of the 
cap/liner.
No lubricant is required on the piston seal. 
a small amount of thread sealant should be

used on the pipe threads to prevent leakage. 
Ptfe tape is recommended.
the piston should be assembled to the cap/
liner and the two parts should then be 
assembled to the valve body. the piston can 
be prevented from sliding out of the cap/liner 
during assembly by covering or plugging the 
hole in the top of the cap/liner.

for marine service, the bolts in the main valve 
and pilot exposed to the environment should 
be replaced during routine maintenance every 
five years.
