groove on the spindle (47).
Install a lubricated washer
(45) onto the spindle.
2. Lubricate the threads of the valve seat (49). Using the oldham
(48), spindle (47) and handwheel (41), screw the valve seat into
the valve body (52) until it bottoms out. Remove the handwheel,
leaving the spindle and oldham in place.
NOTE: Prior to installing the valve seat, inspect the fixed
crown inside the valve body. Ensure it is free from scratches,
nicks and dents. If the fixed crown has significant damage,
the valve body will have to be replaced.

CAUTION: Avoid cross threading the handwheel nut.
If resistance is felt while screwing the handwheel nut
onto the spindle, stop and start over.
