Replacing the Seal or Piston Ring
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch the surface of
the ring groove in the valve plug (key
2), or the new ring may not seal
properly.
D For Design EDR, if the piston ring (key 6) is
visibly damaged, remove the ring and replace it with
a new part. Refer to the Parts List at the end of this
manual for a replacement part.
D For Design ETR, if the seal ring and backup
ring (keys 24 and 25) are visibly damaged, remove
the rings by prying or cutting them from the groove.
Be careful not to scratch valve plug surfaces. Refer
to the Parts List at the end of this manual for
replacement parts.
Assembling the Valve Plug and Stem
1. For Design EDR and ETR, perform the following
steps:
D Insert the stem (key 7) into the plug (key 2,
figure 3) and thread the castle nut (key 8) onto the
end of the stem and hand tighten.
CAUTION
To prevent possible product damage,
take care that the stem and plug are
not damaged during the following
tightening procedure.
D When tightening the castle nut with a wrench,
line up the hole in the end of the stem with a slot in
the castle nut. Ensure that the stem and plug are not
damaged during the tightening procedure.
D Insert the cotter pin (key 30) and lock it in
place.
Installing the Piston Rings or Backup Ring/Seal
Rings
1. For Design EDR: When using a carbon-filled
PTFE piston ring, spread the ring apart slightly at the
split, start one end of the split into the groove in the
valve plug. Work the ring around the valve plug
inserting the ring into the groove in the valve plug.
The replacement graphite piston rings will arrive in
one piece. Use a vise with smooth or tapered jaws to
break the replacement piston ring into two halves.
Place the new ring in the vise so that the jaws
compress the ring into an oval. Compress the ring
slowly until the ring snaps on both sides. If one side
snaps first, do not try to tear or cut the other side.
Instead, keep compressing the ring until the other
side snaps. The piston ring can also be fractured by
scoring and snapping over a hard surface such as a
table edge. Sawing or cutting the ring is not
recommended.
2. For Design ETR: Apply a lubricant to both
backup and seal rings (keys 25 and 24). Place the
backup ring over the stem (key 7) and into the
groove in the valve plug (key 3). Slowly and gently
stretch the seal ring over the valve plug and work it
into the groove. Stretching the ring over the valve
plug can cause it to appear too large for the groove,
but it will contract to its original size when inserted
into the cage.
CAUTION
When installing the Design EDR or
ETR valve plug into the cage, make
sure the piston or seal ring is evenly
engaged in the entrance chamfer of
the cage to avoid damage to the ring.
Note
Use the preceding procedures to
assemble the valve plug and stem
before installing the parts into the
valve body. Insert the valve plug into
the cage (figure 3), then stack the
parts as recommended in steps below.
Installing the Parts into the Valve Body
1. Stack the valve trim parts using figures 12 and 13
to determine the sequence of parts.
