It may be convenient to remove the top and insert assembly
when installing the valve. If so, unscrew the bonnet nut and lift
the assembly out. When installation is complete, replace the
top and insert assembly and tighten the bonnet nut firmly
enough to compress the copper washer seal (35 to 45 ft-lb
torque).
VISE MAY SQUEEZE VALVE SEAT OUT OF
ROUND. IF VISE IS USED, GRIP ONLY THE
HEX NEXT TO PIPE BEING INSERTED.

Typical Operation

An increase in control air pressure to the valve acts to move
the valve stem downward, toward the closed position,
modulating flow through the valve.

When connecting the valve into the system, use pipe dope
sparingly and apply to the pipe threads only.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow pipe dope or other foreign material to
enter the piping where it could lodge under the valve
seat and prevent proper closing of the valve.
Use proper piping methods, when installing the valve to
prevent distortion of the valve body. See Fig. 3.
