Seat Ring Maintenance

Note

These joints should be made up with 

high temperature gasket compound. 

1.  Remove old compound from body and seat ring 

with a wire brush. 

2.  Apply new compound sparingly to both parts, 

threads and shoulders. Let stand until tacky 

before assembling.

Parts List

Key   Description 

 Part Number

 

Type E5 

NPS 3/4 to 3 / DN 20 to 80 

See Table 4

NPS 4 to 12 / DN 100 to 300 

See Table 5

Maintenance

 

 WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property 

damage from sudden release of pressure, 

isolate the regulator from the pressure 

system and release all pressure from the 

pilot and main valve before performing 

maintenance operations.

Inspection

Under normal conditions, complete dismantling is not 

recommended. 
Check the following after operation. Then, schedule an 

inspection as required.

1.  Inspect for dirt collected at 4A bleed port.
2.  Inspect all joints for leakage. Keep bolts tight to 

avoid any leaks

Main Valve Maintenance (See Figure 5)

1.  Connect a source of air or water pressure which 

can be adjusted by hand to the No. 5B elbow. 

2.  Apply 30 psi / 2.07 bar to jack valve open and 

prevent stem from turning while removing 

stem nuts. 

3.  Use penetrating oil on the threads.

Grinding In

 

 CAUTION

Seats and discs should never require 

more than the lightest touch up with very 

fine (400 grit) grinding compound. Heavy 

grinding will produce galling, wider 

seating surface and a groove in the disc, 

all of which tend to cause leakage. 

3.  Reface a damaged surface before attempting to 

grind it in.

4.  Grind sparingly. 
5. 

Main stem (key 13, Figure 4) is slotted for rotation 

with a screwdriver, valve spring (key 14) is omitted 

from the assembly during grinding. 

6.  Slip the stem into its normal position. 
7.  Apply compound to the disc. Place it on the stem 

and guide plug, tighten with stem nut.

8.  After grinding, disassemble and clean all parts.
