Reassembling Valve
1. Replace the packing gland (A4), bolts (A5), washer (A6) and nuts (A7). Tighten the nuts evenly
and finger tight, plus 1/2 turn.
2. Reconnect the stem to the gate with the two screws and nuts.
3. If the actuator is a powered actuator, reconnect power to the actuator.
4. Pressurize the pipeline and inspect packing for leakage.
5. If packing leaks, tighten the adjustment nuts on top of the packing gland. Tighten the nuts evenly
and gently - just enough to stop the leak. Over tightening will cause excessive operating forces,
and will decrease the life of the packing.
Replacing the Seat
See Figure 2 for component identification.
1. Relieve the pressure in the pipeline and close the valve.
2. If the actuator is powered, disconnect and lock out power to prevent accidental operation of the
actuator.
3. Remove the two screws and nuts near the top of the gate and disengage the stem from the gate.
4. Remove the pipeline flange bolts and flange from the side of the valve body opposite the word
“SEAT”. As an alternative, remove both flanges, and remove the valve from the pipeline.
5. Remove the actuator yoke and actuator from the valve.
6. Remove the gland nuts (A7), washers (A6), and packing
gland (A4).
7. Remove the gate (A3) from the body.
8. Remove the packing (A2) from the packing chamber.
9. Remove the seat. Push the top of the removable seat (A10)
toward the center of the valve, and remove the seat through
the packing chamber.
10. Install the new replaceable seat:
a. Note the gate side and body side of the seat as shown in Figure 4.
b. Insert the new seat (A10) through the packing chamber.
c. Place the seat behind the lug at the 5 and 7 o‘clock positions in the body. Then push the
top of the seat into position.
