5. Clean the body/yoke gasket surfaces and install a new body/yoke gasket (key 5).
6. Remove any protective tape or covering from the valve plug/stem assembly.
CAUTION
Be careful when inserting the plug/stem assembly into the cage. Lower the plug into the cage slowly as this will seat the
seal ring to the plug. Make sure the seal ring (key 37) or backup ring (key 38) does not become disengaged from the cage
groove.
7. To insert the plug/stem assembly (key 3) into the cage (key 2), apply a general purpose silicone‐based lubricant.
Slowly insert the plug/stem assembly into the cage.
CAUTION
If the packing is to be reused and was not removed from the bonnet, perform the following step carefully to avoid
damaging the packing with the stem threads.
8. Insert the bonnet and actuator yoke onto the valve body by completing the assembly according to steps 14 to 27 of
the section Replacing Packing, omitting step 17 if new packing is not being installed.
