the journal bearing(s). Hold the drive shaft thrust
bearing (key 28) in the valve body bore against the
opening of the drive shaft bearing bore. Push the
drive shaft through the bearing bore just enough to
hold the thrust bearing.
7. Insert the follower shaft through the bore in the
valve body uncovered by removal of the gasket
retainer. Hold the follower shaft thrust bearing (key
28) in the valve body bore against the opening of the
follower shaft bearing bore. Push the follower shaft
through the bearing bore just enough to hold the
thrust bearing.
8. Install the valve disc. Place the flat side of the
disc on a flat surface. Then, move the valve body
from its upright position and suspend the valve body
over the disc so the seal ring/T-slot area is facing up.
Align the shaft bores through the disc with the drive
shaft and follower shaft bores. Lower the valve body
over the disc using caution not to dislodge or
damage the thrust bearings placed on the ends of
the shafts.
9. With the valve disc properly positioned in the
valve body, push the drive shaft and follower shaft
the rest of the way through the thrust bearings and
into the shaft bores in the valve disc.
10. Align the holes in the shafts with the holes in the
disc.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the taper key,
tangential pins, disc pins, valve disc,
or shaft(s) resulting from the
application of excessive force, use
appropriate care when driving the key
or pins into the disc hub and shaft(s).
Use the correct tool, and do not use
excessive force.
11. Before installing the taper key, be sure the taper
key disc shaft joint is free of oil or grease. If
necessary, remove any excess welding material
from the taper key.
12. Install the appropriate taper key, tangential pins,
and disc pins. Install the taper key by aligning the
taper key hole in the shaft with the holes in the shaft
boss on the disc. Insert the taper key. Use a pin
punch to drive the taper key until solid contact is felt.
Measure the depth of the taper key head for a
reference during the following steps.
a. Drive the taper key in farther as follows:
Valve Size, Inches
Minimum Depth to Drive
Taper key After Initial Solid
Contact, mm (Inches)
8-inch ANSI Class 300, 10- and
12-inch ANSI Class 150, and 10-inch
ANSI Class 300 valves
6 (0.219)
b. The disc, shaft, and taper key assembly must
be inspected to verify that the taper key spans
the entire shaft flat width. If so, this procedure is
complete. If not, the taper key must be driven in
farther until this condition is satisfied. However,
do not exceed the following depth limits:
Valve Size, Inches
Maximum Allowable Depth to
Drive Taper key After Initial
Solid Contact, mm (Inches)
8-inch ANSI Class 300, and
10- and 12-inch ANSI Class 150
10 (0.375)
10-inch ANSI Class 300 11 (0.406)
13. After driving the taper key in place, arc spot
weld the head of the taper key to the disc. For valve
sizes 8-, 10- and 12-inch, use an arc spot weld bead
of 3/16-inch in diameter.
14. Install the packing as described in the Packing
Replacement section.
Installing the Gasket Retainer
Valves with a two-piece shaft use a gasket retainer
and gasket to cover the follower shaft opening in the
valve body.
1. Replace the gasket (key 15) and gasket retainer
(key 14) over the end of the follower shaft. Use a
new gasket.
2. Replace the four hex head bolts (key 21) and
lockwashers (key 20) to hold the gasket retainer in
place.
3. Be sure to center the gasket over the follower
shaft bore before retightening the bolts. Tighten
down the bolts evenly in a crossover or star pattern.
Refer to table 5 for proper torque values.
