8.3.2 DVD Removal (Refer to Figure 16)
In case of Camflex with the DVD option, model number 35x3x
or 35x4x, the DVD is installed in the body, it is recommended
to use the DVD wrenches to remove this device (105). BHGE
manufactures and has available, for a nominal price, DVD
wrenches for the Camflex II, 1" through 12" sizes (DN 25
through 300 sizes). lt is highly recommended that wrenches
be purchased or fabricated to facilitate removal and
reassembly of the DVD (105) since SPECIFIC TORQUES MUST
BE ACHIEVED to ensure proper clamping of this DVD plate.
Figure 6 shows the recommended thickness and method
of construction along with specific dimensions to facilitate
construction.

A. Secure the valve body in a vise or appropriate holding
device with the plug side facing up (refer to Figure 16).
Care must be taken to avoid damage to the gasket face
on the valve body.
B. Place DVD plate wrench so it engages retainer lugs.
C. Engage the retainer wrench with an impact wrench or
suitable wrench and loosen, then remove DVD (105) by
turning counter-clockwise.
9. Maintenance
9.1 Diaphragm Replacement
(Refer to Figures 16 and 17)
The recommended maintenance to be performed on the
Camflex II Spring Diaphragm Actuator is limited to the
replacement of the diaphragm (40). Removal of the actuator
from the valve is not required. To replace the diaphragm,
proceed as follows:
The valve must be isolated and free from any service pressure.
All electrical or air pressure to component parts must be off.
Pressure to actuator must be relieved.
Handwheel (53) and limit stop (77) must be backed off to allow
free travel of the lever (34).
A. Bypass the valve, shut off stop valves and isolate valve in
compliance with CAUTION note listed above.
B. Shut off and disconnect air supply tubing to the actuator.
C. Remove the four capscrews (41) from diaphragm case (42)
and remove diaphragm case.
D. Remove diaphragm (40).
Note: Diaphragm is glued to the top of the piston (43).
E. Remove tape or glue from the top of the piston and clean
thoroughly.
F. Clean diaphragm case (42) and spring barrel (38) at the
area that engages the diaphragm bead in preparation for
reassembly.
Note: To hold the diaphragm in place on the piston, an
adhesive disc (adhesive both sides) or rubber cement
is used. If rubber cement is used, it should be applied
to both the piston and the diaphragm or in accordance
with the manufacturer’s directions for the adhesive
used. For recommended adhesives see Figure 15.
For the diaphragm replacement, use one of the two
following methods:
Method 1: Points G-1 / H-1 / I-1 / J-1 / K-1
G-1. Apply adhesive tape or cement to the top of the piston.
H-1. The inscription “Piston Side” is located on the diaphragm
(40). If used, apply cement to this side of the diaphragm.
