When installing the bearings in the opposite side of the valve body bore, repeat the following procedures.
D
Position the bearing edge to match the valve body bore, and insert the one piece bearing/disk spacer into the
bearing bore with the bearing tab facing away from the disk stop as shown in figure 10.
CAUTION
To avoid product damage, protect the disk sealing surfaces while inserting the disk into the valve body bore.
2. Position the disk to be certain that the holes in the disk are towards the actuator side of the valve. Carefully insert
the disk into the valve body bore while protecting the disk sealing surfaces. Install the shaft (key 8):
3. Slide the shaft through the valve body bore and bearing. Position the disk as stated above and slide the shaft
through the disk and outer bearing. Refer to step 4 below.
Installing the hollow pin and taper pin
4. Place the valve body on a flat working surface with the slot for the seal ring facing up. Block the valve body high
enough to allow the disk to be rotated into the open position as shown in figure 11.

5. Rotate the disk to the open position. On the end of the drive shaft, locate the disk position mark on the end of the
drive shaft. Rotate the shaft until it is in the appropriate disk position as shown in figure 11.
Note
Make sure the taper and hollow pins are free of particulate matter before continuing.
6. Line‐up both holes in the disk hub with the holes in the drive shaft (key 8). (Note: The hole in the drive shaft is offset
to prevent the shaft from being installed in the wrong position. Be sure the hole in the shaft is lined up with the hole
in the disk hub.)
7. Insert the hollow pins (key 9), into the disk hub as shown in figure 11.
Using the tool shown in figure 11, tap the hollow pin down into the disk hub and shaft until the hollow pin bottoms on
the stop in the disk.
8. Insert the taper pins (key 10) into the hollow pins. Using a flat end punch, drive the taper pins into the hollow pins
until solid contact is felt. Anchor the pins in place by staking them with a center‐punch and hammer. The disk and
shaft should rotate smoothly.
9. Install the seal ring assembly using the appropriate instructions in the Seal Ring Maintenance procedures.
