12.3.1.10 Using soft tools and a suitable wire brush, carefully clean any
remnants of removed gasket and foreign matter within the retaining
cavity of the body (A1) and face of the Disc (C1). Blow out all
remnants and foreign matter with compressed air.
12.3.1.11 Apply a suitable lubricant to the sealing surfaces of the seal ring
(C2). Place a new seal ring gasket (C3) into the groove on the disc
face (C1). The mating side of the seal ring gasket can be lightly
greased to improve retention in the groove. Place the seal ring
alignment pin (C7) into the disc (C1) slot. Place the seal ring (C2)
on disc seal collar (C8), (wherever applicable) ensuring the smaller
ellipse dimension side rests on the disc seal collar (C8). Align the
notch on seal ring (C2) and drill hole on disc seal collar (C8) and
install the dowel pin (C9) and hold in place. (If necessary, a small
amount of grease or wax can be used to hold). Place the seal ring
with seal collar (C2 & C8) onto the disc (C1) making sure the notch
on the disc seal collar matches the locating pin on the disc face.
Place the seal ring retainer (C4) over the seal ring collar. Apply anti-
seize compound to the seal ring retainer cap screws (C5). Replace
the screws if required. Install all seal ring retainer cap screws (C5).
The cap screws (C5) should be fully threaded into the disc (C1), but
remain only finger-tight at this time
12.3.1.12 Open the valve disc position to minimum of 20 deg
12.3.1.13 If the existing seat planned to be used, remove the seat gasket from
existing seat and carefully clean any remnants of removed gasket
and foreign matter within the gasket groove. Also clean the seating
surface gently without scratching the seating surface
12.3.1.14 Slightly grease the gasket groove in the existing seat/New seat,
install the new seat gasket (B2). Apply a suitable lubricant to the
sealing surfaces of the seat (B1). Place this seat/gasket sub-assembly
into the valve body paying attention that the groove of the seat is
aligned with the body groove and insert the seat alignment button
(B8). Replace seat set screws if necessary. Adjust the seat retainer
ring lower set screws (B6) until they are flush with the bottom of the
seat retainer (B4). Install the seat retainer (B4) and the seat retainer
ring (B5) in its groove in the body. Using a cross bolting technique,
tighten the seat retainer lower set screws (B6) to 50% of torque
specified in Table 4 . Once all set screws are tightened, proceed to
fully tighten them to 100% of the listed torque value
12.3.1.15 Using a suitable actuation device, close and open the valve 2-3 times,
only closing the valve to the point where the seal ring engages with
the seat. Check each time that the disc seal ring makes full contact
without torqueing into the seat. Attention should be paid in the
closing stroke that the seat does not scratch the seal ring. This will
allow the seal ring and seat to be properly aligned.
