Catalyst Overpressure Valve
See drawing 22021
Under normal operational circumstances the catalyst overpressure valve is
maintenance free.
If catalyst leaks constantly from fitting (4), O rings (2) must be replaced
Important Note: It is essential that the internal spring tension is not disturbed in the event
of servicing this unit.
Procedure
To renew front O rings
1. Disconnect red signal pipe and clear overflow pipe. Unscrew whole assembly
from catalyst pump using 19 AF spanner on the forward stainless steel body
taking care of any small residual pressurised catalyst as thread seal is broken. DO
NOT disturb the spring tension end cap (0671).
2. Hold brass body (1035) and unscrew stainless steel body (1032). Pull shaft
(1034), and collar (1033) from body, replace O rings (0750) and reassemble.
Ensure shaft is reinserted with rounded end into the body.
3. Reassemble observing order illustrated in dwg. 22021. Ensure bodies (1032) and
(1035) are correctly screwed together using PTFE tape or similar thread sealant.
4. Reattach valve to catalyst pump using thread sealant.
5. Reprime catalyst system to remove any air from the system.
