vise and rotate end-for-end and resecure 
in vise using same metal bars.
5.  Body Sizes 2-1/2" thru 4":
a.  Orient plug (20) with threaded end up-
 wards, place into a vise, grasping the seat 
disc nut (30); tighten the vise lightly, only 
enough to "hold" the plug (20) from ro tat ing 
out of the vise. Caution: Over-tight en ing 
the vise can distort the seat disc nut (30) 
and give bad fi nal torque values.
b.  Place a torque wrench on the 3/4" hex 
upper end of the plug (20); tighten the 
seat disc nut (30) to 40-60 ft-lbs by ro tat ing 
CW.
6.  Installation of dynamic side seal (27) (See    
Figure 1): NOTE: Dynamic side seal (27) for 
sizes 2-1/2"-4" is located on the pis ton/guide 
bear ing (13). The dynamic side seal can be 
in stalled on a work bench without need of a 
vise.
a. Type CP:
  1.  Stretch o-ring energizer/seal (27.2) 
over lower circumference of valve 
plug (20), taking care not to "cut" 
o-ring en er giz er/seal (27.4). Using 
thumbs, work the o-ring en er giz er/
seal (27.4) up and into the groove of 
the valve plug (20). NOTE: A very 
slight amount of fl uid and elas tomer 
com pat i ble lu bri cant is rec om mend ed 
as an in stal la tion aid. DO NOT “ROLL” 
O-RING.
2.  Position TFE cap seal (27.1) ring with 
rectangular cross-section at low er end 
of valve plug (20). Stretch cap seal 
(27.1) over low er end of valve plug 
(20) us ing thumbs to work the cap 
seal (27.1) onto the valve plug (20). 
DO NOT USE A TOOL FOR THIS 
STEP. Con tin ue pressing cap seal 
(27.1) up wards to wards the groove 
until the cap seal (27.1) “snaps” into 
the groove of the valve plug (20).
b. Type PR:
1. Wrap corrugated metal piston ring 
en er giz er (27.6) over lower cir cum -
fer ence groove of valve plug (20). Us-
 ing thumbs work the energizer (27.6) 
into the valve plug (20) groove.
2.  Spread a piston ring seal (27.5) and 
slide over lower circumference groove 
of valve plug (20), taking care not to 
“cut” piston ring seal (27.5). Using 
thumbs, work the piston ring seal 
(27.5) into the groove of the valve plug 
(20). Repeat this pro ce dure with a 
second piston ring seal (27.5). Ori ent/
rotate the "splits" in pis ton ring seals 
(27.5) 180° across from each other. 
c. Type UC:
1.  Stretch u-cup seal (27.3) over upper 
cir cum fer ence of valve plug (20), tak-
 ing care not to “cut” u-cup seal (27.3) 
on the protruding shelf that is part of 
the valve plug's (20) groove. Ensure 
that the u-cup seal (27.3) is oriented 
with the cen ter-open-up wards as 
shown in Fig ure 1, as the u-cup seal 
(27.3) depends upon the P1-Inlet 
Pres sure to pres sure ac ti vate the seal 
for prop er seal ing ac tion.
d. Type NO:
1. For “FTC” fl ow direction ap pli ca tions, 
it is not required that a dynamic side 
seal (27) be installed. (When included 
with the dy nam ic seal (27), better 
guid ing of valve plug (20) results.) 
Type “NO” dynamic seal (27) means 
NO dynamic seal.
2. The more common “FTO Reverse” 
fl ow direction always requires a dy-
namic side seal (27).
7. Place fl uid compatible thread anti-seize, 
Locktite Corp., "Nickel Anti-Seize", or equal 
on thread ed por tion of di a phragm cap screw 
(7), sizes 1-1/4" and 1-1/2"; or, thread ed post 
por tion of valve plug (20), sizes 1/2" – 1" and 
2-1/2" – 4". ( NOTE: Regulators cleaned for 
ox y gen ser vice should use Fisher Scientifi c 
Co., "Fluorolube GR-362", or equal.)
8.  Body sizes 2-1/2" thru 4".
  a.  Place o-ring lower stem seal (14.3) over 
  upper-end of plug (20) and into groove 
 in plug (20).
  b.  Place properly oriented piston/guide bear-
 ing (13) over up per-end of plug (20) and 
into po si tion on plug (20). 
  c.  Place o-ring middle seal (14.2) over up-
 per-end of plug (20) and into groove of 
piston/guide bear ing (13).
 9.  Body sizes 1/2" thru 2".
  Place new o-ring mid dle stem seal (14.2) into 
groove of valve plug (20) upper surface.
10.  Position lower diaphragm pusher plate (10) on/
over upper end of valve plug (20) properly ori-
ented. For composition diaphragm con struc-
 tion the “tongue and groove” “ridge” should
