Gate Replacement
Continued
6. Remove and inspect the seat components.
7. Replace or reinstall the seat components as described in step 10 in the “Seat Replacement “ sec-
tion.
8. Place the new gate (A3) in the body, in the fully closed position.
9. Replace or reinstall the packing (A2) as described in “Installing New Packing”.
10. Replace the yoke and actuator on the valve.
11. Adjust the actuator, yoke, and packing gland so that the valve actuates smoothly full stroke in both
directions, and so that there is no evidence of binding or scratching on the gate when the gate is
visible in the fully open position.
12. Reinstall the valve in the pipe line —see “Installation” section.
13. If the actuator is a powered actuator, reconnect power to the actuator.
14. Pressurize the pipeline and inspect the valve for leaks.
15. If the packing leaks, tighten the adjustment nuts (A7) on top of the packing gland.
Note:
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.
Purge Port Option
When purge port options are ordered as illustrated, the intent is that the installer will connect purge
lines.
Installation:
1. Remove all purge plugs after valve has been installed in line and before line is pressurized.
2. Connect proper purge line to the ports.
3. Pressurize purge lines and check for leaks.
4. Pressurize pipe line.
See Figure 5 for Purge Port sizes and locations.

If pipeline is under pressure with purge port plugs in place, release line pressure
before removing plugs. Serious or fatal injury may occur if not complied with.
