g. Use three C‐clamps to hold the retainer in place. Locate one of the C‐clamps near the travel stop in the valve
body, and the other two at 120 degrees from the stop.
h. When cycling the disc for the first three times, use a dead‐blow hammer with a soft head to drive the disc closed.
Also, you may need to use the hammer to drive the disc open for the first few times.
5.
For valves with screwed retainer rings
a. Match the retainer ring with the holes in the valve by punching two holes in the gasket to locate where the screw
holes are in the valve.
b. Lay the retainer ring over the gasket, while lining it up with the punched holes. Also insert two retainer screws
(key 17). Finger tighten them.
c. Press the remaining screws through the gasket material and finger tighten them. When all retainer screws are in
place, tighten them in a crisscross pattern.
d. The retainer ring is properly seated when the retainer face is nearly flush with the face of the valve.
6. Turn the disc into and out of the seal ring several times, to help break in the seal and reduce actuator torque
requirements during adjustment.
7. If replacing the packing, remove all packing parts from the valve body. Upon re‐assembly of the valve, refer to the
Packing Maintenance procedures to replace the packing.
Seal Ring Maintenance for NPS 2
This procedure is to be performed if the control valve is not shutting off properly (that is, leaking downstream). This
procedure does not require removing the actuator from the valve body. Part key numbers are shown in figure 15.
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
1. Isolate the control valve from line pressure, and relieve pressure from the valve body. Shut off and disconnect all
lines from the power actuator.
WARNING
The edges of a rotating disc have a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To help prevent such injury, stay clear
of the disc edges when rotating the disc (key 3).
CAUTION
Damage to the disc (key 3) may occur if the disc is not closed when the valve is being removed from the pipeline. If
necessary, pressure the actuator temporarily to retain the disc in the closed position while removing the valve from the
pipeline.
2. Unscrew the flange bolts, and remove the valve from the pipeline.
