3. Remove the retaining ring by placing a socket
head retaining ring screw from the retaining ring in
each of the two retaining ring jacking screw holes.
Slowly turn the screws until the retaining ring has
been lifted from the valve body. Remove the
retaining ring to expose the seal ring in the T-slot
area of the valve body.
Note
The Type A31A Cryogenic valve is
available with different seal designs
and components. See figure 4 to
identify the specific seal design.
CAUTION
To avoid possible leakage, be careful
not to damage the gasket sealing
surface, the seal ring, or the T-slot
area in the valve body while
performing the next two steps.
4. Remove and discard the retaining ring gasket
(key 16). Be careful to not scratch the gasket seating
surface.
5. Insert a regular screw driver or other similar tool
under the top edge of the seal ring (key 7), and
gently pry it out of the T-slot area in the valve body.
Take care not to damage the seal ring or T-slot area
of the valve body. After the seal ring has been
removed, clean the T-slot area, retaining ring, and, if
required, polish the disc thoroughly with fine steel
wool or other appropriate material.
NOVEXt Seal Installation
Unless otherwise indicated, key numbers and part
names are listed in figures 7 and 8. Seal installation
is shown in figure 5.
A maintenance kit with installation tools is available
through your Fisher sales office.
1. Locate the replacement seal ring (key 7) and note
the shape of the ring. The ring is wider across one
edge diameter and narrower across the other edge
diameter. Also, note the wide groove around the
outside circumference.
Before installing the seal ring into the valve body,
place the backup ring, if applicable, (key 8) into the
wide, outer groove of the seal ring.
