It may be necessary to drive out the shaft
from the opposite end.
NOTE: The outer bushing (14) and disc arm
key (19) should come out with the
shaft. Be careful not to lose the disc
arm key. After the shaft is out,
remove the inner bushing (13) from
the opposite side.
8. Carefully lift the disc arm assembly out of the
body. Remove the disc nut pin (6B), disc nut
(6) and disc nut washer (6A).
9. Remove the seat screws (5C), the seat
follower (5B) and the renewable seat (5A) or
metal seat washer (5D).
10. In the unlikely event it
’s necessary to remove
the body seat (2), the spring pins holding it
into the body must be compressed until they
no longer “bite” into the body. This is best
accomplished by compressing the seat pins
(2B) using “vice-grips” and pulling the pins in
a radial direction towards the valve
centerline.
Inspect all parts for wear and damage. Replace
damaged parts.
ASSEMBLY
The valve is reassembled by reversing the
disassembly sequence with consideration of the
following:
1a. Clean and polish all machined bearing and
sealing surfaces. Apply a light coat of
lubricant to assist in the assembly.
2a. Ensure the disc arm key slides inside the
disc arm before installing the shaft lock pin
(18). Ensure the shaft lock pin has
dropped into the groove provided for it on
the shaft.
3a. Install the inner and outer bushings then
install the shaft packing. Install the end
plate (34) with seal (36). Install and tighten
the end plate bolts (35) while ensuring the
end plate seal (36) remains in the groove
provided for it in the end plate.
4a. Lift the disc assembly several times to
ensure free closure with no metal-to-metal
contact.
5a. Wrap the packing around the shaft and cut
on a 45-degree angle, staggering the cuts
with each ring.
6a. Tighten gland bolts evenly until packing is
slightly compressed. After pressure has
been introduced into the valve, re-tighten
evenly until leakage stops.
7a. Ensure cover gasket sealing surfaces are
clean and apply a thin coat of Permatex
™
#2 to both surfaces. Tighten cover nuts in
an alternating pattern. Re-tighten as
needed after pressure has been introduced.
8a. Re-install the counterweight arm (30) with
key (30B) and tighten counterweight set
screws (30A).
9a. Slide counterweight(s) onto shaft and lock
in place using set screws (31A). Lift
counterweight arm and allow it to fall to
ensure free movement.
