SEAT REPLACEMENT

DISASSEMBLY
1. For repairs that require seat replacement only, it is not

necessary to remove manual operators.

2. Place the valve seat side up on a work table.
3. For valves that have retainer ring fasteners, remove the

fasteners and lift the retainer ring and seat package out

of the valve body.

4. For metal seated valves that use a wire retainer locking

ring, cut the wire where it is attached to the valve body.

Use pliers to pull the wire while also rotating the retainer

ring until the wire is pulled free. Lift the retainer ring and

seat out of the valve body.

5. For soft seated valves that use an O-ring retainer locking

ring, insert the flat blade of a screwdriver into the gap

between the back of the retainer ring and the valve body.

Twist the blade to pry the retainer ring out of the valve

body, then remove the seat package.

1. Remove the PFA seat and seat energizer from the seat

ring. Remove any gasket material from the seat ring and

clean thoroughly.

2. Remove any seat gasket material from the retainer ring

and the seat pocket of the valve body. Clean all surfaces

thoroughly. Discard retainer ring fasteners, wire or

O-ring retainer lock rings.

3. Carefully clean and inspect the sealing surface of the

valve disc. Small scratches, scale or minor corrosion can

be removed by polishing using 600 grit or finer emery

paper. DO NOT SAND OR BEAD BLAST DISC.

4. Metal seated valves use hard surface plating on the

valve disc to improve seal life. If the plating is damaged,

scratched or heavily worn, the disc should be replaced.

5. Under no circumstances should worn, corroded or

scratched valve discs be repaired by welding or

re-machining.
