7. Install the drive shaft (key 6) into the valve body through the valve body bearing and into the ball.
the flat side of the key facing the drive shaft (key 6).
9. Using a flat end punch, drive the groove pin (key 7) into the ball ear and follower shaft until it is flat with the ball ear
surface. Stake both ends of the pin hole with a center punch to ensure the groove pin does not come out.
10. Using a flat end punch, drive the taper key (key 4) into the ball ear and drive shaft (key 6) until solid, heavy contact is
obtained between the key and shaft.
11. Measure the position of the taper key head.
12. Drive the taper key in further using the minimum distance shown in table 6.
13. Inspect the ball/shaft taper key connection to verify that the taper key spans the entire shaft flat width. If not, the
taper key must be driven in further until this condition is satisfied. However, do not exceed the maximum depths
shown in table 7.
Note
All valve taper keys are tack welded, except titanium.
14. When the above conditions are met, tack weld the taper key (key 4) to the ball ear on the head end of the key (see

3/16-inch diameter weld on DN 200 and 250 (NPS 8 and 10) valves
15. Use the pry bar or similar tool to move the ball tightly against the bearing on the actuator side of the valve to help
ensure correct side-to-side centering of the ball (key 2) on the seal (key 11). See figure 5.
16. Be sure that the HD seal is fully installed in the valve. Carefully rotate the ball to engage the HD seal while applying
force across the middle of the seal to compress the wave spring until the ball is fully engaged. Be cautious during
this process, knowing that excessive force may damage the ball. Keep the ball in the engaged position going
forward.
