See Figure 1. The valve is a compact stainless steel airless spray valve. It may be used in a wide variety of applications, most specifically as a component of the CanWorks manifold assembly. 0445001A Fig. 1 A7A Stainless Steel Valve 1999 Nordson Corporation 331 279A Manual 4-45...
A7A Stainless Steel Valve Theory of Operation See Figure 2. When the valve is actuated, air enters at the air input (1). This air lifts the piston/locknut assembly (2), and allows the packing cartridge (3) and the ball tip (4) to rise. The coating material passes through the opening in the seat (5), and exits the port (6).
Disassembly 1. Remove both the fluid and air pressure to the valve. 2. Remove the A7A valve from the manifold assembly. See Figure 3. Remove the screws (1), lockwashers (2), and cylinder (3) from the gun body (13).
