Valve Body: Disassembly: Disassembly

Prepare a work area that is clean and large enough to organize the valve body components as they are cleaned and inspected and set aside to be installed during the assembly of the valve body. Arrange the valve components and solenoids in the order and direction that they will be installed to assure proper function when the job is completed.

   NOTE:

   There are check valves and damping valves that can fall out when the inner valve body is separated from the separator plate.

5. Optionally, suitable clamps (2) can be installed to keep the inner valve body and the separator plate from parting prematurely during the next set.
