Replacement Procedures
Step 1: Disassembly
1. Place the adapter valve in the vise so that the valve outlet is
held flat against one of the vise jaws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Overtightening the vise can distort the valve body, making it
difficult to remove the poppet assembly. Should this occur, the
entire valve must be destroyed so it cannot be reused.
See Figures 1 & 2.
Step 2: Inspection
1. Press the mechanism of the excess-flow valve several times to see if the
spring returns the valve to the open position. If there is any binding, if the
spring post is bent, or if the valve disk is damaged in any way, use a
3
⁄4"
socket wrench to remove (turn counterclockwise) the excess-flow valve.
Destroy the part so it cannot be reused.
Step 3: Re-Assembly
1. Use a fine wire brush to clean the threadlocking residue from the female
threads at the bottom inlet of the valve body. Apply two drops of omniFIT
®
1550 or Locktite
®
271 onto the male threads of the new excess-flow
valve. Screw the part into the inlet and tighten between 10 to 20 inch-
pounds of torque. NOTE: Loctite 271 will begin to cure within seconds of
being confined within brass threads. If this happens before the following
tightening procedure is completed, the parts must be separated, cleaned,
and reassembled.
Step 4: Testing
1. Press the excess-flow mechanism several times to make sure the spring
returns it to the open position.
