 Servicing the First and Second Check Valves

WARNING

!

Depressurize valve before servicing.

No special tools are required to service the series.
Before servicing, make sure the water is turned off or shutoff 

valves are closed.

1.  Close shutoff valves up and downstream of the valve.
2.  Using an appropriately sized wrench, loosen the check 

valve cover. Unscrew the check valve cover and lift it off.

3.  Remove the spring.
4.  Lift out the disc holder assembly from the body of the valve.
5.  To reverse the seat disc, unscrew the disc screw and dis-

assemble the disc washer and disc rubber from the disc 

holder assembly. Reverse the disc rubber so the opposite 

face is showing. 

6.  Assemble the disc screw through the disc washer and disc 

rubber, and screw it into the disc holder.

7.  To replace the seat module, pull the seat module out of the 

body by gripping at the reinforcement ring. Replace the seat 

module with the new seat by placing it into the body seat 

bore.

NOTICE

When the cover is tightened in step 12, the cover is 

engaged with the seat module properly.

8.  Insert the disc holder assembly back into the seat module.
9.   Replace the spring ensuring that it seats properly on the 

disc holder.

WARNING

!

The first check valve has a heavyweight spring. The second 

check valve has a lighter-weight spring. When reassembling 

the check valves, install the correct spring into the correct 

check valve.

10.  Place the cover onto the spring with the internal guide on 

the cover positioned inside the end coil.

11. Screw the cover onto the valve body.
12. Tighten the cover using the appropriately sized wrench.
13. Service the second check valve using steps 2 to 12.
