Lapping Metal Seats

With metal-seat constructions, seating surfaces of

the valve plug and seat ring (key 2, figure 11) can be

lapped for improved shutoff. (Deep nicks should be ma-

chined out rather than ground out.) Use a good quality

lapping compound of a mixture of 280 to 600-grit. Apply

the compound to the bottom of the valve plug.

Assemble the valve to the extent that the seat ring

retainer is in place and the bonnet is bolted to the

valve body. A simple handle can be made from a

piece of strap iron locked to the valve plug stem with

nuts. Rotate the handle alternately in each direction to

lap the seats. After lapping, remove the bonnet and

clean the seat surfaces. Completely assemble as de-

scribed in the assembly portion of the Trim Maintenance

procedure and test the valve for shutoff. Repeat the

lapping procedure if leakage is still excessive.

Assembly

The following procedure assumes that all the trim and

associated gaskets were removed from the valve body.

If these parts were not all removed, start the assem-

bly procedure at the appropriate step. Key numbers

referenced in the following steps are found in figure 11,

unless otherwise indicated.

Valves with Plain or Extension Bonnets

Perform the following steps to assemble and install

the trim.

To avoid weakening the stem that may cause failure
in service, never reuse an old stem with a new valve
plug. Using an old stem with a new plug requires
drilling a new pin hole in the stem, which will weaken
the stem. However, a used valve plug may be reused
with a new stem.

1.

For valves with metal seats,

screw the valve

stem (key 7) into the valve plug (key 2). Tighten

to the torque valve given in figure 9. Refer

to figure 3 to select the proper drill size. Drill

through the stem using the hole in the valve

plug as a guide. Remove any chips or burrs

and drive in a new pin (key 8) to lock the as

sembly.

2.

For valves with 1/4 and 3/8-inch ports and

composition seats,

refer to figure 12. Place the

disk (key 29) on the valve plug tip (key 30).

Place the disk retainer (key 28) over the disk,

and then thread the disk retainer onto the valve

plug guide (key 27).

To avoid failure in service for valves with 1/2 through
1-inch ports and composition seats, never reuse an
old valve plug guide with a new valve plug tip. Using
an old valve plug guide with a new plug tip requires
drilling a new pinhole in the valve plug guide, which
will weaken the guide. However, a used valve plug tip
may be reused with a new valve plug guide.

For valves with 1/2 through 1-inch ports and
composition seats,

refer to figure 12. Insert the

disk (key 29) in the valve plug guide (key 27). Screw the

tip (key 30) onto the valve plug guide to clamp the disk

in place. Using a 3/32-inch bit, drill through the valve

plug guide using the hole in the tip as a drilling guide.

Remove any chips or burrs and drive in a new pin (key

31).
