Seat Replacement
Continued
Reassembling the Valve
1. Reassemble the gate (A3) in the body, with the beveled edge facing away from the resilient seat.
See Figure 4.
2. Place the gate in the fully closed position.
3. Reassemble the packing, as described in “Installing New Packing”.
4. Reassemble the packing gland (A4), washers (A6), nuts (A7) and bolts (A5). Tighten the nuts
evenly to finger tight, plus 1/2 turn.
5. Reassemble the yoke and actuator on the valve.
6. Reconnect the stem to the gate with the two screws and locknuts.
7. Reassemble the pipeline flange and flange bolts, or reassemble the valve in the pipeline if the
valve was removed. Refer to the requirements in the “Installation” section.
8. If the actuator is a powered actuator, reconnect power to the actuator.
9. Pressurize the pipeline and inspect the valve for leaks.
10. If the packing leaks, tighten the adjustment nuts (A7) on top of the packing gland. Tighten the nuts
evenly and slowly, just enough to stop the leakage. Over tightening will cause excessive operating
forces, and will decrease the life of the packing.
Replacing the Gate
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 pipeline flange bolts, and remove the valve from the pipeline.
4. Remove the actuator, actuator yoke, packing gland (A4), and packing (A2) from the valve.
5. Remove and inspect the gate (A3). If the gate appears to be scratched or galled due to too-long
flange bolts in the chest area of the body, check for body damage in the tapped flange holes and
within the chest cavity. Carefully check the seat for damage. Repair or replace the body, as appro-
priate.

WARNING!
Pipeline pressure can cause personal injury or equipment damage. Relieve pipe-
line pressure before removing gate stem and packing gland nuts.
WARNING!
Accidental operation of power actuator can cause personal injury or equipment
damage. Disconnect and lock out power to actuator before servicing.
