Valve Disassembly
Note: The 3T3700/3L3800 Series ball valves are not
designed for rebuilding, nor is it economical to do so.
Should the valve leak, complete replacement is recom-
mended. However, a spare parts kit may be special or-
dered at customer request.

increasing the torque on the gland nut in ¼ turn
increments. If leakage persists, replace valve.
Body Seal Leakage
Check the torque of the end cap. If leakage per- 
sists, replace valve.
