NOVEX Seal Installation

Unless otherwise indicated, key numbers and part names are listed in figures 7 and 8. Seal installation is shown in
figure 5.

A maintenance kit with installation tools is available through your

Emerson sales office

1. Locate the replacement seal ring (key 7) and note the shape of the ring. The ring is wider across one edge diameter

and narrower across the other edge diameter. Also, note the wide groove around the outside circumference.

Before installing the seal ring into the valve body, place the backup ring, if applicable, (key 8) into the wide, outer
groove of the seal ring.

2. Install the seal ring and backup ring assembly in the valve body. The wider outside diameter of the seal ring goes

into the T‐slot area of the valve body as shown in figure 5. Start the edge with the wider diameter into the T‐slot of
the valve body.

CAUTION

Use extreme care to avoid damaging the gasket while punching one initial screw hole through the gasket for alignment in
the following step.
