Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation, maintenance, and parts information for Fisher FB valves. For information
on availability of complete assemblies and spare parts, contact your local Emerson sales office
manuals for instructions covering the actuator and accessories.
Do not install, operate, or maintain an FB valve without being fully trained and qualified in valve,
actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property
damage, it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all the contents of this manual,
including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact
your Emerson sales office before proceeding.
Description
FB valves, which include FBD and FBT (figure 1), are fabricated or cast angle valves that are custom built for special
applications. The basic construction, however, is similar in all the valves. For applications up to 232_C (450_F) or up to316_C (600_F) with the use of anti-extrusion rings, the seat ring is screwed to the free end of the cage assembly of the
FBT valve.

The top of the cage assembly is clamped between the valve flange and bonnet, permitting unrestricted movement
during thermal expansion and contraction (see figures 9 and 16). A spring‐loaded seal ring provides a seal around the
outside of the seat ring. The top of the cage assembly is also clamped between the valve flange and the bonnet forapplications above 232_C (450_F), leaving the cage assembly free to expand and contract. For these high temperature
applications, however, the seat ring is separate from the cage assembly and is welded into the FBD valve (see figure
10). No seat ring seal ring is required. The cage assembly is free to expand and contract.
These valves are available in CL150, 300, or 600 with flanged or butt weld ends. Special constructions with a CL900
rating, or with the inlet designed for a valve class rating greater than the outlet, are available on an individual basis. If
the valve has an inlet pressure rating greater than the outlet pressure rating, it is especially important to have
adequate overpressure protection downstream to protect against the possibility of full inlet pressure reaching the
downstream system.
Specifications
Typical specifications for these valves are shown in table 1.
Educational Services

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install the valve
assembly where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or on the appropriate nameplates. Use
pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.

CAUTION
The valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, pressure drop,
and controlled fluid conditions. Because some body/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and
temperature range capabilities, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales
office.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and associated equipment for any damage and any foreign material. A
strainer should be installed upstream of the valve to prevent particles from plugging the holes in the cage.
2. It is important to remember to install all FB valves in a flow up direction.
3. The control valve assembly should be installed with the actuator vertical above the valve. This orientation facilitates
sliding the cage assembly into the valve without the use of special tools and rigging. In addition, vertical installation
minimizes the possibility of damaging the seat ring seal ring or the mating chamfers, minimizes the possibility of
bending the stem, and greatly reduces wear on the cage. Vertical installation, therefore, significantly extends valve
life.

4. Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. You can leave internal elastomeric
parts in the valve when you weld it. For flanged valves, use suitable gaskets between the valve flanges and pipeline
flanges.
Note
Depending on valve body materials used, post‐weld heat treating might be needed. Post‐weld heat treatment can damage
internal elastomeric, plastic, and metal parts. Shrunk‐fit pieces and threaded connections might loosen. In general, if post‐weld
heat treating is needed, remove all trim parts. Contact your Emerson sales office
for additional information.
5. If continuous operation is required during maintenance, install a three‐valve bypass around the valve.
6. If the actuator and valve are shipped separately, refer to the actuator mounting procedure in the appropriate
actuator instruction manual.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however some
readjustment will be required to meet specific service conditions.
Lifting Valve Assembly
WARNING
Failure to follow these lifting guidelines and accepted lifting and rigging practices could result in property damage and
personal injury or death.
6
Page 7
Instruction Manual
D100402X012
All lifting and rigging must be completed in accordance with federal/national/provincial, state and local regulations and
applicable lifting and rigging equipment standards. Only personnel trained in proper lifting and rigging practices shall
perform valve/actuator assembly lifting, rigging and installation. Because each lift will be unique, the method of lifting the
valve assembly, the correct location for attaching and lifting the valve assembly, and what the valve assembly will do when
lifted shall be considered for each lift.
Lifting and rigging equipment used to lift, install or remove a valve assembly or component must be properly selected and
sized for the weight and configuration of the valve assembly or component being lifted. The weight of the complete valve
assembly, including attached accessories, must be taken in consideration for this purpose. The lifting and rigging
equipment must be properly maintained and inspected for damage before each use.
If the valve is supplied with an actuator or handwheel, do not use the actuator or handwheel to lift the complete valve
assembly. Lifting lugs attached to the actuator must not be used to lift the complete valve assembly unless clearly marked
as being rated to support the complete valve assembly weight.
Lifting lugs or other lifting equipment attached to the valve or actuator must never be used to lift or support the weight of
attached piping.
FB Valve
February 2022
CAUTION
Care must be taken when lifting the valve/actuator assembly to ensure all accessories and tubing are not damaged in the
process. Accessories and tubing may need to be removed prior to lifting to prevent damage and properly reinstalled before
use. Protect valve flange faces, butt weld ends, and other connection surfaces from damage during lifting.
Remove the valve/actuator assembly from its shipping container with appropriate lifting and rigging equipment for
the valve/actuator assembly weight and configuration to be lifted. The valve and bonnet assembly weight is provided
in tables 3, 4, 5, and 6. Consult the appropriate actuator and valve accessory instruction manuals for the weight of
each additional component, then determine the total weight of the complete valve assembly. The location of the
valve/actuator assemblies center of gravity must be considered during lifting, installation, and removal. Additional
slings or other lifting equipment, such as a load leveler, may be necessary to prevent toppling of the equipment during
lifting or to rotate the valve assembly into a different orientation for installation.
For cast FB valve constructions that include lifting lugs cast integral to the body, use of properly sized shackles in each
lifting lug eye is required. The correct shackle pin diameter is provided in table 7. If the valve body includes attached
lifting lugs, use all the lugs provided to lift the complete valve assembly. If lifting lugs are not provided on the valve
body, lift the valve assembly with lifting straps secured around the valve body flanges, valve body neck, and/or bonnet
neck area.
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection and maintenance
frequency depends on the severity of service conditions. This section includes instructions for packing lubrication,
temporary packing maintenance, packing replacement, trim maintenance, and lapping metal seats. All maintenance
operations may be performed with the valve in the line.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, a new gasket should be installed upon reassembly.
This is necessary to ensure a good gasket seal since the used gasket may not seal properly.

Packing Lubrication
If a lubricator or lubricator/isolating valve (figure 4) is provided for PTFE/composition or other packings that require
lubrication, it will be installed in place of the pipe plug (key 28, figures 11 and 13). Use a good quality silicon‐base
lubricant. Packing used in oxygen service or in processes with temperatures over 260_C (500_F) should not be
lubricated. To operate the lubricator, simply turn the cap screw clockwise to force the lubricant into the packing box.
The lubricator/isolating valve operates the same way except the isolating valve must first be opened and then closed
after lubrication is completed.
Temporary Packing Maintenance
With most jam‐type packing, new packing rings can be added on top of the old packing rings as a temporary measure
until a more complete disassembly and packing replacement can be made.

To do this with split ring packing, isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of
the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the valve. Pressurize the actuator to open the valve.
Unbolt the packing flange (key 15, figures 11 and 13) and slide the packing flange wiper (key 21, figures 11 and 13 )
and packing follower (key 25, figures 11 and 13 ) up the valve stem to add packing rings. To improve the seal, the old
packing rings on top of the lantern ring (key 22, figure 3) may be removed with a packing hook whenever possible. If
this is done, use care to avoid scratching the valve stem or packing box wall. Clean all metal parts to remove any
particles which would prevent the packing from sealing evenly against the valve stem or packing box wall.

WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, make certain the valve is fully closed before separating the stem
connector.
If solid ring packing is used, separate the stem connector and raise the actuator so that the packing flange and packing
follower can be removed, and the packing rings can be slipped over the end of the valve stem. After the packing has
been tightened down, reconnect the valve/actuator stem connection according to the appropriate actuator
instruction manual.
Replacing Packing
CAUTION
Handle tools carefully around the valve plug stem (key 12, figures 9, 10, and 16) and the packing box. A gouge or scratch in
the packing box wall could create a leak path. A damaged valve stem could cut a groove in the packing, allowing leakage.
1. Before removing the actuator, disconnect air, electrical, and leakoff lines which would interfere with actuator
removal or valve maintenance. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of
the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, make certain the valve is fully closed before separating the stem
connector.
2. With the plug seated, remove the stem connector by loosening the stem locknuts and unscrewing the cap screws
which hold the two halves together.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the seating surface caused by the valve plug and stem assembly dropping from the bonnet after being
lifted part way out, be sure that the assembly remains in the valve and on the seat. The parts are also easier to handle
separately.

5. Attach the ringed ends of a lifting chain (not furnished) to two of the yoke boss stud bolts 180 degrees apart. Then
replace the nuts on the two stud bolts selected. (Use washers to retain the chain rings if necessary).
6. Check to be sure that the chain will not damage the stem threads and lift the bonnet straight up with the hoist. If
the valve plug and stem assembly starts to lift with the bonnet, use a brass or lead hammer on the end of the stem
and tap it back down. Set the bonnet on a cardboard or wooden surface to prevent damage to the bonnet gasket
surface.
7. Remove the packing flange nuts (key 17), packing flange (key 15), upper wiper (key 21), and packing follower (key
25), all shown in figures 11 and 13.
8. Using care to avoid scratching the packing box wall, pull the packing box components out with a wire hook. The
packing box components can also be pushed out of the packing cavity with a rod inserted from the bottom of the
bonnet, whenever the bonnet can be positioned to permit access from the bottom.
9. Clean the packing box and the metal packing box components. Spray PTFE packing with a silicone‐based lubricant.
10. Install new bonnet gaskets (key 6, figures 9, 10, and 16) and replace the bonnet.
11. Install the new packing as shown in figure 3, 11, or 13.
For spring‐loaded PTFE V‐ring packing, tighten the packing flange nuts until the shoulder on the packing follower (key
25, figures 11 and 13) contacts the bonnet.

For graphite packing, tighten the packing flange nuts to the maximum recommended torque shown in table 8. Then,
loosen the packing flange nuts, and retighten them to the recommended minimum torque shown in table 8.
For other packing types, tighten the packing flange nuts alternately in small equal increments until one of the nuts
reaches the minimum recommended torque shown in table 8. Then, tighten the remaining flange nuts until the
packing flange is level and at a 90‐degree angle to the valve stem.
For ENVIRO‐SEAL or HIGH‐SEAL live‐loaded packing, refer to the note at the beginning of the Maintenance section.
12. Lubricate the stud bolts (key 10, figures 9, 10, and 16) and replace the nuts (key 11, figures 9, 10, and 16). Tighten
the nuts down gradually in a criss‐cross pattern to ensure that the bonnet is drawn down evenly. The maximum
recommended torque values are shown in table 9 for the various stud bolt sizes used in the fabricated valves.
13. Mount the actuator on the valve assembly and reconnect the actuator and valve stem according to the procedure
in the appropriate actuator instruction manual.
14. After the valve has operated at line temperature for a time, retighten the hex nuts to the recommended torque
value.
Trim Maintenance
The following procedure provides instruction for replacing the trim. Complete only those steps necessary to
accomplish the required maintenance operations.
Key numbers in this section are referenced in figures 9, 10, and 16 and apply to FB valves, unless otherwise specified.
1. Remove the actuator and the bonnet according to steps 1 through 6 of the Replacing Packing section.
2. Screw an eyed adaptor (not furnished) onto the valve stem threads and lift the valve plug and stem assembly out of
the valve. Lower it onto a cushioned surface to protect the valve plug seating surface.
3. If the valve plug (key 2) is damaged and requires replacement, always replace the entire valve plug and stem
assembly.
CAUTION
To avoid weakening the stem that may cause failure in service, never reuse an old stem with a new valve plug. Using an old
stem with a new plug requires drilling a new pin hole in the stem, which weakens the stem. However, a used valve plug
may be reused with a new stem.
a. Drive out the old pin (key 13), unscrew the old stem, and replace it with a new stem. Screw the new stem
completely into the valve plug until the thread bottoms out against the plug.
b. Locate the pin guide hole in the valve plug and drill a matching hole through a new stem. Use a 6.4 mm
(1/4‐inch) diameter drill for constructions with port sizes through 378 mm (14.875 inches); use a 9.5 mm (3/8
inch) diameter drill for constructions with 430 mm (16.9375 inch) or 506 mm (19.9375 inch) port sizes. Install a
new pin.
4. If the piston ring (key 4, figure 10) in FBD or the seal ring (key 4, figures 9 and 16) in FBT is visibly damaged, remove
it and replace it with a new part. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the ring groove in the valve plug or the new
ring may not seal properly. Because the FBT seal ring must be pried and/or cut from the groove, it cannot be used
over again.
Note
Lapping metal seats, if required, should be done before installing the piston or seal ring.

a. Before replacing the piston ring or the valve plug seal ring, be sure the ring groove in the valve plug is clean and
free of scratches. The FBD piston ring is split and can be easily placed in the groove.
CAUTION
Avoid jerking sharply on the seal ring. The PTFE or FEP material in the seal ring must be permitted time to cold‐flow during
the stretching procedure.
b. The FBT seal ring is a one‐piece, spring‐loaded ring which must be carefully stretched over the top end of the
valve plug and into the groove. First lubricate the seal ring generously and place it over the valve stem. Since the
flow direction is up through the seat ring and out through the cage, the open portion of the seal ring should be
up. Start the ring in the groove on one side of the valve plug and slowly and gently work it over the top edge of
the valve plug.
Stretching the seal over the valve plug may make it seem unduly loose when first placed in the groove, but it will
contract to its original size without requiring a waiting period before insertion into the cage.
c. If no further trim maintenance is required, the valve can be reassembled at this point by carefully replacing the
valve plug, and proceeding to step 10. If an FBT valve plug is being replaced, make sure the seal ring is evenly
engaged in the entrance chamfer at the top of the cage assembly (key 3) to avoid damaging the seal ring.
5. Attach a lifting chain to the cage assembly. The cage is tapped on the top in two places to facilitate rigging. Hoist
the cage assembly straight out of the valve and set it on a flat surface.
CAUTION
Avoid jerking sharply on the seal ring. The PTFE or FEP material in the seal ring must be permitted time to cold‐flow during
the stretching procedure.
6. The standard design for applications up to 232_C (450_F) will have a seat ring seal ring (key 5). Inspect this seal ring
and, if necessary, remove it and install a new seal ring. Lubricate the seal ring generously, and place it over the
bottom end of the seat ring. Start the ring in the groove on one side of the seat ring, and gently work it over the seat
ring. The open portion of the seat ring seal ring should be down since flow is up through the seat ring and out
through the cage.
7. In the standard design where the seat ring is screwed into the cage, it is secured with two tack welds, one on each
side of the cage. The seat ring can be removed by grinding or filing off the tack welds, then inserting a bar through
slots cut in the seat ring to turn it out of the cage.
8. Tack weld the new seat ring to the cage using minimal heat. Two welds, 6.4 mm (1/4‐inch) long and 180 degrees
apart, are required. Using a hoist, lower the cage assembly into the valve. Use care to avoid damaging the seal rings
or other sealing surfaces while handling the heavy parts. To facilitate inserting the cage assembly into the valve,
lubricate the outside diameter of the seat ring and the seal with lithium grease.
9. Replace the valve plug/stem assembly.
CAUTION
Place the bonnet carefully over the stem to avoid damaging the packing.

10. Install new gaskets (key 6), and replace the bonnet.
11. Lubricate the stud bolts (key 10, figures 9, 10, and 16) and replace the nuts (key 11, figures 9, 10, and 16). Tighten
the nuts down gradually in a criss‐cross pattern to ensure that the bonnet is drawn down evenly. The maximum
recommended torque values are shown in table 9 for the various stud bolt sizes used in the fabricated valves.
12. Mount the actuator on the valve assembly and reconnect the actuator and valve stem according to the procedure
in the appropriate actuator instruction manual.
Lapping Metal Seats
A certain amount of leakage should be expected with metal‐to‐metal seating in any valve. If the leakage becomes
excessive, however, the condition of the seating surfaces of the valve plug and seat ring can be improved by lapping.
(Deep nicks should be machined out rather than ground out.) Use a good quality lapping compound of a mixture of
280 to 600‐grit. Apply the compound to the bottom of the valve plug.

Assemble the valve to the extent that the cage is in place and the bonnet is bolted to the valve. A simple handle can be
made from a piece of strap iron locked to the valve plug stem with nuts. Rotate the handle alternately in each direction
to lap the seats. After lapping, remove the bonnet and clean the seating surfaces. Completely assemble and test the
valve for shutoff. Repeat the lapping procedure if leakage is still excessive.
Retrofit: Installing Bore Seal Trim
Note
Additional actuator thrust is required for a valve with Bore Seal trim. When installing Bore Seal trim in an existing valve, contact
your Emerson sales office
for assistance in determining new actuator thrust requirements.

Assemble the new valve plug/retainer assembly (with Bore Seal plug seal) using the following instructions:
CAUTION
To avoid leakage when the valve is returned to service, use appropriate methods and materials to protect all sealing
surfaces of the new trim parts while assembling the individual parts and during installation in the valve body.
1. Apply a suitable high‐temperature lubricant to the inside diameter of the Bore Seal plug seal. Also, lubricate the
outside diameter of the valve plug where the Bore Seal plug seal must be pressed into the proper sealing position
(figure 5).
2. Orient the Bore Seal plug seal for correct sealing action based on the process fluid flow direction through the valve.
a. The open interior of the Bore Seal plug seal must face up in a valve with flow‐up construction (figure 5).
3. Place the Bore Seal plug seal over the top of the valve plug. The retainer will help guide the Bore Seal down onto the
plug (figure 5). Do not force the Bore Seal over the plug.
4. An installation tool (see table 10) must be inserted into the Bore Seal prior to using the retainer to guide it down the
plug.
5. Apply a suitable high‐temperature lubricant to the threads on the plug. Then, place the Bore Seal retainer onto the
plug and tighten the retainer using an appropriate tool such as a strap wrench.
6. Remove the retainer and then the installation tool. Place the Bore Seal retainer back onto the plug and tighten the
retainer using an appropriate tool such as a strap wrench.
7. Using an appropriate tool such as a center punch, stake the threads on top of the plug in one place (figure 7) to
secure the Bore Seal retainer.
8. Install the new plug/retainer assembly with Bore Seal plug seal on the new stem following the appropriate
instructions in the Trim Replacement section of this manual.
9. Install piston rings by following instructions in the Trim Replacement section of this manual.
10. Remove the existing valve actuator and bonnet following the appropriate instructions in the Replacing Packing
section of this manual.
CAUTION
Do not remove the existing valve stem from the valve plug unless you are planning to replace the valve stem.
Never reuse an old valve stem with a new plug or reinstall a valve stem after it has been removed. Replacing a valve stem
requires drilling a new pin hole in the stem. This drilling weakens the stem and may cause failure in service. However, a
used valve plug may be reused with a new valve stem.
11. Remove the existing valve stem and plug, cage, and seat ring from the valve body following the appropriate
instructions in the Trim Removal section of this manual.
12. Replace all gaskets according to appropriate instructions in the Trim Replacement section of this manual.
13. Install the new seat ring, cage, valve plug/retainer assembly, and stem into the valve body and completely
reassemble the valve package following the appropriate instructions in the Trim Replacement section of this
manual.
CAUTION
To avoid excessive leakage and seat erosion, the valve plug must be initially seated with sufficient force to overcome the
resistance of the Bore Seal plug seal and contact the seat ring. You can correctly seat the valve plug by using the same force
calculated for full load when sizing your actuator. With no pressure drop across the valve, this force will adequately drive
the valve plug to the seat ring, thus giving the Bore Seal plug seal a predetermined permanent set.
With full actuator force applied and the valve plug fully seated, align the actuator travel indicator scale with the lower end
of valve travel. Refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for information on this procedure.
Replacement of Installed Bore Seal Trim
Trim Removal (Bore Seal Constructions)
1. Remove the valve actuator and bonnet following the appropriate instructions in the Replacing Packing section of
this manual.
CAUTION
To avoid leakage when the valve is returned to service, use appropriate methods and materials to protect all sealing
surfaces of the trim parts during maintenance.
Use caution when removing piston ring(s) and the Bore Seal plug seal to avoid scratching any sealing surface.
CAUTION
Do not remove the valve stem from the plug/retainer assembly unless you are planning to replace the valve stem.
Never reuse an old valve stem with a new plug or reinstall a valve stem after it has been removed. Replacing a valve stem
requires drilling a new pin hole in the stem. This drilling weakens the stem and may cause failure in service. However, a
used valve plug may be reused with a new valve stem.
2. Remove the plug/retainer assembly (with Bore Seal plug seal) and cage from the valve body following the
appropriate instructions in the Trim Removal section of this manual.
3. Locate the staked thread on top of the valve plug (figure 7). The staked thread secures the retainer. Use a drill with a
1/8 inch bit to drill out the staked area of the thread. Drill approximately 1/8 inch into the metal to remove the
staking.
4. Locate the break between sections of the piston ring(s). Using an appropriate tool such as a flat‐blade screwdriver,
carefully pry out the piston ring(s) from the groove(s) in the Bore Seal retainer.
5. After removing the piston ring(s), locate the 1/4‐inch diameter hole in the groove. In a retainer with two piston ring
grooves, the hole will be found in the upper groove.
6. Select an appropriate tool such as a punch and place the tip of the tool into the hole with the body of the tool held
tangent to the outside diameter of the retainer. Strike the tool with a hammer to rotate the retainer and free it from
the valve plug. Remove the retainer from the plug.

7. Use an appropriate tool such as a flat‐blade screwdriver to pry the Bore Seal plug seal off the plug. Use caution to
avoid scratches or other damage to the sealing surfaces where the Bore Seal plug seal makes contact with the valve
plug (figure 5).
8. Inspect the lower seating surface where the valve plug contacts the seat ring for wear or damage which would
prevent proper operation of the valve. Also, inspect the upper seating surface inside the cage where the Bore Seal
plug seal contacts the cage, and inspect the sealing surface where the Bore Seal plug seal makes contact with the
plug (figure 5).

9. Replace or repair trim parts according to the following procedure for lapping metal seats, remachining metal seats,
or other valve plug maintenance procedures as appropriate.
Lapping Metal Seats (Bore Seal Constructions)
Before installing a new Bore Seal plug seal, lap the lower seating surface (valve plug to seat ring, figure 5) following
appropriate procedures in the Lapping Seats section of this manual.
Remachining Metal Seats (Bore Seal Constructions)
A valve plug with a Bore Seal metal plug seal features two seating surfaces. One seating surface is found where the
valve plug contacts the seat ring. The second seating surface is found where the Bore Seal plug seal contacts the upper
seating surface in the cage. The cage does not require any machining, even when the plug and / or seat ring have been
machined.
