Each replacement assembly contains the bonnet assembly,
two rubber seals and a tube of grease. It must be used only on
the type of valve indicated above.

When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause an unsafe condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
products to make sure the products are suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced flame safeguard control technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in the instructions.
The bonnet assembly and the valve seals may be replaced
without removing the valve body from the gas line. Use the
following procedure to replace the bonnet assembly and seals
in the gas valve.
1. Turn off the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve.
2. Shut off all electrical to the valve actuator.
3. If a 7616BR Crank Arm Assembly is used with the
actuator, remove the crank arm assembly by pulling the
clip and loosening the clamp screw.
4. Disengage the arm from the actuator.
5. Remove the actuator from the valve (loosen the two set
screws).
6. Remove the valve bonnet (four bolts on the 1- to
1-1/2-inch valves, six bolts on the 2- to 3-inch valves,
eight bolts on the 4-inch valves).
7. Discard the old rubber seals.
8. Coat the new rubber seals with the grease provided and
position them in the valve body as shown in Fig. 1 or 2.
(Small seal on the 4-inch valve is mounted on the
bonnet assembly.)
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause equipment damage, serious injury or
death.
1. Only a trained experienced flame safeguard
technician should service the V5055 or V5097 Gas
Val ves.
2. Before beginning installation, turn off the gas supply
and disconnect the power supply to the valve
actuator.
3. After installation, perform a complete checkout,
including a gas leak check.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause equipment damage, serious injury
or death.
Position and seat the seals in the valve body properly
to avoid a hazardous gas leak.
9. Carefully seat the new bonnet assembly on the valve
body. Make sure the seals are in the proper position.
(On the V5055/V5097 Gas Valves with a spring below
the disk, make sure the spring is centered in the
indentation on the inside of the valve body.
NOTE: The 4-inch bonnet assembly may be replaced in any
position on the valve body.

10. After positioning the bonnet assembly, replace the bolts
removed in step 6.
BONNET SEAL
VALVE SEAL
NOTE: When replacing the bonnet assembly on the 4-inch
valve, draw it evenly into the valve body. Fingertighten the eight bolts. Draw the bonnet assembly
into the valve by tightening, in order, bolts 1, 5, 7 and
3 (two turns each). See Fig. 3. Repeat until the
bonnet assembly is seated. Tighten the remaining
bolts. Torque the bolts as follows:
— 3/4 in. (19 mm) to 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) valves:
55 in.-lb.
— 2 in. (51 mm) to 4 in. (102 mm) valves: 75 in.-lb.
11. Remount the actuator.
12. Securely tighten the set screws (50 to 60 inch-pounds).
13. Replace the crank arm assembly if disconnected in
step 3.
14. With the gas still off, cycle the actuator to check for
proper mechanical operation.

CHECKOUT
IMPORTANT
Bonnet Seal Check
After the bonnet assembly is reinstalled, turn on the gas at the
manual valve and check for gas leakage around the bonnet
seal. Paint the seal area with a rich soap and water solution.
Bubbles indicate a gas leak. If a leak is detected, check to see
that the bonnet screws are tight. If necessary, turn off the gas
again and remove the bonnet to make sure the seals are
properly seated.
Tightness of Closure Check
Instructions for testing tightness of closure of gas safety
shutoff valves on burner startup (by qualified personnel).
See Fig. 4.
Both bonnet seal and seat leak checks must be
performed after installation.

7. Program the safety shutoff valve (C) to the fully open
position (through the safety system), then immediately
de-energize the SSOV to seat the valve operationally.
8. Immerse a 1/4-inch (6 mm) tube vertically 1/2 inch
(13 mm) into a jar of water as shown in Fig. 4.
9. Slowly open the test petcock (F).
10. When the rate of the bubbles coming through the water
stabilizes, count the number of bubbles appearing
1
during a ten-second period. Each bubble appearing
during a ten-second period represents a flow rate of
approximately 0.001 cf/h. To meet U.S.A requirements,
leakage must not exceed the values given in Table 2.
