After you have installed the ball (key 2) into the valve body assembly, firmly support the ball while installing the shafts.
4. Installing the follower shaft (key 9):
D For NPS 1 through 2 valves: The follower shaft (key 9) should already have been inserted into the ball before the ball
was put into the valve body. Insert the follower shaft (key 9) into the valve body bearing (key 10).

5. Installing the Drive Shaft for Valves with Taper Pins

CAUTION
The drive shaft must be used with the correct Vee‐Ball. Refer to the tag (see figure 13) attached to the Vee‐Ball and to the
drive shaft.
Failure to use the correct Vee‐Ball/ shaft combination may result in the ball not being in the position indicated by the slash
mark on the end of the shaft. If the ball is not properly aligned with the slash mark, the valve will not function correctly and
seal damage may result.
