XII. Disassembly
A. General Information
The Consolidated 2700 Series Safety Valve can be easily disassembled for
inspection, reconditioning seats or replacing internal parts. The initial spring
load can be established after reassembly. (Refer to Figure 1 and 2 for parts
nomenclature).
Notes:
• Before starting to disassemble the valve, be sure that there is no
steam pressure in the drum or header.
• Parts from one valve should not be interchanged with parts from
another valve.
B. Specific Steps
1. Remove the top lever pin and top lever.
2. Loosen the cap set screw and remove the lever and cap assembly.
3. Remove the cotter pin that retains the release nut, and then remove the
release nut.
4. Refer to Figure 6, and measure and record Dimension A, as this
information will be required to correctly re-assemble the valve.
5. Loosen the compression screw locknut and the compression screw, to
remove tension from the spring.
6. Loosen and remove the yoke stud nuts.
7. Carefully lift the yoke and spring assembly over the spindle, and away
from the valve.
Do not disassemble the
valve with pressure in
the drum or header, as
this will result in severe
personal injury or death.
