1. 

Loosen (2) ¾” – UNC Bolts (Items P-15) that retain the Telescoping Barrel 
(Item P-16) to the lower Standpipe (Item P-17) 

2. 

Working in a safe manner lift off the entire top assembly (Items P-1 
through P-16) from the Telescoping Barrel and Base Flange. 

3. 

Remove the Stem (Item P-12) and Crane Coupling (Item P-13) sub-
assembly. 

4. 

Loosen the ¾” – UNC Bolts that retain the Lower Standpipe to the Base 
Flange. 

5. 

Remove the existing Lower Standpipe and set the new one into the socket 
in the Base Flange. 

6. 

Securely tighten the bolts that were loosened in Step 4 (50-100 ft. lbs) 

7. 

Working safely, slide the entire top assembly over the new Lower 
Standpipe. 

8. 

Tighten the (2) ¾” – UNC Bolts that retain the Telescoping Barrel to the 
Lower Standpipe (Item P-15) – Tighten them securely enough to safely 
maneuver the Post in the field.

Target Carrier Assembly (Items P-6 through P-8), etc. from the Telescoping

procure a longer Stem.  Slip the Crane Coupling (Item P-13) over one end 
of the new Stem and cross drill a new, cotter pin hole through the new 
stem. 

12. 

If the Lower Standpipe just installed is shorter than the one it replaced, the 
Stem will have to be cut.

Lower Standpipe and Telescoping Barrel to the flange of the valve, using 
the ¾” – UNC Bolts & Nuts provided by Kennedy Valve.
