Seal Installation
For HPS seal installation:
Locate the replacement seal ring (key 8) and note the shape of the ring. The ring is wider across one edge diameter and
narrower across the other edge diameter as shown in figure 8. Around the outside circumference is one wide groove.
Install the seal ring (key 8) into the valve body by first placing the wider outside diameter of the seal ring into the T‐slot
area of the valve body which is shown in figure 9.

Figure 9. Typical Seal Installation
For Soft seal installation:
1. Locate the replacement seal ring (key 8) and note the shape of the ring. The ring is wider across one edge diameter
and narrower across the other edge diameter as shown in figure 8. Around the outside circumference is one wide
groove.
Install the seal ring in the valve body by first placing the wider outside diameter of the seal ring, as marked in figure 8,
into the T‐slot area of the valve body which is shown in figure 9. Seal rings without a back‐up ring will fall into place.
The back‐up ring will have to be installed after placing the seal ring in the valve using a blunt end screwdriver. Do not
use the screwdriver or seal tool directly on the seal ring. Use a tool only on the backup ring.
2. With the seal ring inserted all the way around the valve body T‐slot now lay the backup ring into the opening
between the valve body and the seal ring. Use the seal tool to apply pressure to the backup ring and carefully tuck
the backup ring down into the T‐slot between the valve body and the seal ring. Note: On larger valves, it may be
more efficient to have someone hold down the seal ring while the backup ring is pushed into the T‐slot.
3. Once the seal ring or seal and backup ring has been fully installed into the valve body T‐slot, the retaining ring
gasket (key 17) can be installed.
