DISASSEMBLING THE UNIVALVE

(continued)

11. Remove the valve bonnet-stem-disk assembly if the

valve being repaired is a stop valve (figure XXX2X).

The disk in a stop-check vaIve (figure XXX6X) and

the bonnet insert in welded Class 4500 vaIves (figure

961XX) may be removed by forming a short piece of

soft wire into the shape of an L and lifting it up in the

disk bore.

12. Remove the stem from the bonnet. It may be necessary

to rotate the stem through the packing before it can be

removed.

13. If the valve is unwelded, the graphitic gasket must be

replaced. Do so by removing it from the valve body,

but take care not to damage machined surfaces.

14. Using a packing tool, remove the old packing.

Stainless steel Univalves are equipped with a

metal junk ring in the bottom of the packing

chamber. (See pg. 16 for repacking instructions.)

8. If the valve is unwelded, remove the locking collar.

9. If the valve to be repaired is seal-welded, prepare

the Seal Weld Cutting Machine for the weld cutting

operation. If a cutting machine is not available, use one

of the alternate methods shown on pg. 8.

10. Refer to the chart on pp. 10–13 to select the proper

torquing collar assembly (consisting of lock nut and

collar). Screw the torquing collar clockwise onto the

bonnet until it bottoms. A left hand threaded lock nut

is used to lock the torquing tool to the bonnet. Use

the appropriate size open end or socket/box wrench

(1-¼", 1-¾" or 2" hex) on the lock nut to turn the tool

counterclockwise to remove the bonnet.
