DM).
** When removing the ball valve seats (
6
), gently mark (with a black marker) the
opposite side of the seats (
6
) (not facing the ball (
4
)) to ensure proper reassembly.
Inspect all parts and replace them if necessary.
To re-install the ball valve, follow steps 1 through 7 in reverse order.
When reinstalling the ball valve seats (
6
), ensure that the black mark is on the opposite
side of the ball (

) and facing the carrier (
2
)).
If new ball valve seats (
6
) are used during the reinstallation, gently operate the ball valve
5 times after tightening the carrier (
2
).
When reinstalling the connector (
29
), ensure the o-ring (
31
) is well positioned in the
groove.
Important:
Torque the carrier (2) to 20 in-lb (dynamically).
Verify that the carrier (2) position from the block (1) surface is within the following
tolerances:
Calibration column and injection ball valve: 0 mm (0 in; flush to the block
surface) ±0.25 mm (0.010 in)
Evacuation ball valve: 71.6 mm (2.820 in) ±0.25 mm (0.010 in)
Torque the stem nut (5) to 30 in-lb.
Torque the handle set screw (12) to 60 oz-in.
Always grease all o-rings with clear food grade silicone NLGI #1 grease prior to
assembly.
The following tools are required:
Carrier (
2
): 27-mm socket
Handle set screw (
12
): 3-mm Allen
Stem nut (
5
): 22-mm socket
