5.1 ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE- UNISERT™ TYPE (5” VALVE)
(TEXT)
NOTE: It is imperative that the workstation being used to assemble the
valve be clean and free of anything that could possibly contaminate the
grease such as metal shavings, dirt, rust, old paint, etc. Do not sand or
deburr near the workstation.
All assembly steps must be done with the valve pocket in the vertical
position. Any attempt to screw the adjusting nut in with the valve pocket in
the horizontal position could result in damage to the adjusting nut and valve
sealing components.
1.
Check surfaces around the valve bore inside the valve pocket for sharp edges
that could cause cutting of the insert o-rings. Then screw the clean
adjusting nut (12)
all the way into the valve body to make sure the threads
are not damaged.
2.
After inspection remove the adjusting nut and check the
roll pins (15 & 16)
in the valve body by gently sliding the
insert (7)
into the valve. The
insert
(7)
should move freely up and down the length of the roll pin slots without
interference.
3.
Apply a thin film of lubricant to the recess in the
adjusting nut (12)
and
install the
plug seal (5)
with the metal back towards the recess facing away
from the pressure.
4.
Apply grease to the
plug seal (5)
in the
adjusting nut (12).
5.
Grease the sealing groove and install the adjusting nut
o ring (11)
in the
groove.
6.
Apply a thin film of lubricant to the pocket and the recess in the
valve body
(1)
and install the
plug seal (5)
with the metal back towards the recess
facing away from the pressure.
7.
8.
Check the
plug (6)
outside diameter for surface defects such as scratches,
dings, nicks, or sharp edges that could affect the sealing area.
9.
Support the
valve body (1)
so that the plug hex can pass through
unobstructed.
10.
Install the
plug (6)
(hex side down) in the
valve body (1)
.
11.
Check the surface finish of the
inserts (7)
making sure they do not have any
scratches, dings, nicks or sharp edges that could affect the sealing area.
12.
Inspect the insert
o-rings (8
) for any possible non-conformity.
13.
Install the insert
o-rings (8)
into the
insert (7)
grooves and coat with
