Preventative Maintenance and Disassembly (Cont.): 
 

STEP 3 

Using the Assembly Torque Tool (9) loosen the valve’s top assembly counter clockwise two (2) 
complete turns.  This will allow for easier access to all Top Flange Fasteners (13).  With an Impact 
Wrench (20) and 1/2” Socket (18) loosen all fasteners (13). 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
STEP 4 

Remove Plugs (35) from bottom of the Cylinder.  Use ¼” NPT Bolts to push the Cylinder from Flange.  
Ensure that each bolt is evenly inserted and pushed to avoid a difficult disassembly.
