Forbes Marshall Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Valve

Refit the pushrod assembly.

Refit the main valve head, make sure valve locates on seat.

Check the valve lift shown in Table 3 using a depth gauge and adjust if necessary
byscrewing the pushrod in or out of the diaphragm plate.

Table 3 : VALVE LIFT FMPRV41 STEAM/AIR

For this section refer to figure 21

Thoroughly clean the lower diaphragm chamber

(4)

making sure contact faces are

clean.

Replace the diaphragm plate

(2)

and pushrod assembly

(1)

and loosely fit the lower

diaphragm chamber on two bolts

(5)

either side of the union connection to locate the

spigot in the recess.

Refit the diaphragms

(3)

in exactly the same way as when they were dismantled.

10. Push the lower diaphragm chamber

(4)

home to locate in the recess and refit the M12

nuts and bolts. Progressively and evenly tighten to a torque of 80 - 100 N m.

11. Retighten the long union nut to ensure a steam tight seal.
