Seat Refinishing Tool

Bonnet Torquing Collar

Seal Weld Cutting Machine

THREE TOOLS FOR FASTER IN-LINE REPAIRS OF

EDWARD UNIVALVES
Edward Univalves aren’t likely to require any maintenance

or repair work until they’ve been in services for quite a few

years. But sooner or later – depending on the nature of the

fluids, frequency of operation and time in service – Univalve

seats and disks may need to be repaired.

The Seat Refinishing Tool has

a self-centering head of multiple

tungsten carbide cutters on a

spindle which is hand-operated

with a speed wrench for complete

seat refinishing. Lapping or other

finishing work is not required to

produce refinished seats.
Seat damage, such as that

produced by foreign materials

in the line fluids, can be repaired

quickly.

The Bonnet Torquing Collar

is essentially a torque wrench

adapter that is used to remove

and reassemble the bonnet of an

unwelded Univalve.
The tool facilitates reassembly

of the bonnet with the required

torque correctly applied to ensure

that the graphitic body-bonnet

gasket is properly loaded to

establish a leak-tight seal. The tool

may also be used to assemble and

disassemble seal-welded valves.

The Seal Weld Cutting Machine

has the ability to cut both fillet

and canopy welds. By removing

the handwheel and yoke, then

installing the machine, seal welds

can be cut, leaving a suitable weld

prep. The machine is operated by

one person and uses conventional

plant air.
