The disk spring is a Bellville washer style spring. Place the large disk spring in next
so that the OD makes contact with the pressure seal retainer.

Refer to Figure 1 and place the four segments of the seat retaining ring in the body groove.
Make sure that the side marked “TOP” is facing towards the top of the valve.
