Valve Block Reassembly:
NOTE: Removable thread lock compound will be required for reassembly. If either
one of the two Valve Rods unscrewed from the Valve Poppet (MPH-5008) during
disassembly, put one to two drops of removable thread lock compound on
threads and assemble.
1. Set the Valve Rod assembly into the Lower Valve Block (MPH-5001).
NOTE: The MPH-5000 has a long and short Valve Rod, insert the short Valve Rod
(MPH-2519) into the Lower Valve Block. Rotate the Valve Rod so the hole in the
Valve Poppet aligns with the Pipe Plug (PF-AP-04-SS) bore. Insert 7/32” hex
wrench through the pipe plug bore and into the hole in the Valve Poppet to hold
Valve Rod assembly in place.
2. Slide the Upper Valve Block (refer to drawing) into the Lower Valve Block (MPH-
5001) and align properly. Screw the Button Head Cap Screw (F-BHCS-04C-16-SS)
into the Lower Valve Block.
3. Use one to two drops of removable thread lock compound in the female threads of the
Valve Pistons (MPH-2517). (See Figure 3) Shake off any excess thread lock
compound and screw onto either Valve Rod end. Repeat for process for the second
Valve Piston and remove hex wrench from Valve Block.
4. Use either Teflon tape or Pipe compound on the Pipe Plug (PF-AP-04-SS) threads
and screw into the Lower Valve Block.
Figure 3

valve piston threads.
5. Insert the Diaphragms (MPH-5010) into the Upper and Lower Valve Blocks with
the outside leading edge of the Diaphragms facing out. Push the Diaphragms all
the way down into the Valve Block bore.
