Remove old packing parts from the packing box by using the valve instruction manual procedures. Both the valve stem
surface condition and the packing bore are critical in obtaining a good seal. If the valve stem surface is scratched,
nicked, or worn, replace the valve stem before installing the ENVIRO
-
SEAL Packing System. Check the condition of the
packing bore and clean or hone it out, as necessary. Refer to the appropriate valve instruction manual to replace the
valve stem.

For key number locations refer to figures 5, 6, or 7. Then proceed as follows:
1. The original packing flange studs used for standard packing arrangements should be long enough to accommodate
the retrofit kit parts. If you determine that the existing studs and nuts should be replaced however, due to their
condition, replace them with the studs and nuts (keys 200 and 212) supplied in the retrofit kit.
