A699VB Valve
Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual
Operation/Caution
The A699VB Series Valve has a soft seat seal.
Note: While this type of valve seals very
easily, they also have a tendency to be
“overtightened” when closing during
operation.
CAUTION: “Overtightening” will cause the
20VBHA Valve Seat to extrude into the valve
body, pinching off the orifice of the 20VBHA
Valve Seat. This may reduce flow through the
valve and the 20VBHA Valve Seat may need to
be replaced.
