Installing the Gasket Retainer
Valves with a two‐piece shaft use a gasket retainer and gasket to cover the follower shaft opening in the valve body.
1. Replace the gasket (key 15) and gasket retainer (key 14) over the end of the follower shaft. Use a new gasket.
2. Replace the four hex head bolts (key 21) and lockwashers (key 20) to hold the gasket retainer in place.
3. Be sure to center the gasket over the follower shaft bore before retightening the bolts. Tighten down the bolts
evenly in a crossover or star pattern. Refer to table 5 for proper torque values.
