Control Products Mark 100
NOTE: Do not weld more than the approved
Excessive heat from the bead welds that are too large
can disturb critical retainer tolerances. Use an appropriate
weld rod which is compatible with the retainer material.
If uncertain, contact the factory.
a CAUTION: To function properly, ChannelStream is always
installed flow over.
7.3 DiamondBack
1.
DiamondBack replaces the standard Mark One retainer
with a stacked-disk retainer that is either welded or bolted
and pinned; see Figure 9. Several of the parts, including
the plug, seat ring and bonnet, may have dimensional
differences from the standard Mark One design. Assembly
and disassembly of the valve follow the standard
procedures.
2.
DiamondBack retainers, plugs and seats should be exam-
ined for excessive cavitation damage when disassembled.
The inner holes in the retainer should be checked for wear
or erosion; evidence of erosion should require that the
retainer is disassembled or replaced. Plugs and retainer
mating surfaces should be examined for damage. Repair
and replacement of damaged parts are critical to main-
taining cavitation resistance.

DiamondBack retainers should be cleaned of debris
whenever the valve is opened.
4.
It is rare that DiamondBack stacks require disassembly to
clean. The passages of the DiamondBack can be cleaned
by pushing a wire through the passages from the inside of
the stack, by air or by water rinsing. When required, pinned
and bolted DiamondBack retainers can be disassembled
and cleaned in the field. Welded DiamondBack retainers
should not be disassembled outside a qualified service

center.
5.
Disassembly of bolted DiamondBack retainers:
Remove the nuts from the bolts/studs. Place the retainer
with the crown disc facing down and remove the bolts/
studs from the stack. Remove the bottom indexed disc.
Press the pins out away from the crown disc. Take the
discs apart, maintain ing the order of assembly. Replace
damaged discs, alignment pins bolts or nuts. Inspect and
clean out disc passages.
6.
Reassembly:
Care should be taken when reassembling to stack up
the discs in the same order and the same rotation. Start
by driving the pins into the crown disc. Then place each
disc in descending order until all discs, except the bottom
indexed disc, are in place. Drive the pins until they are
bottomed out. Place the bottom disc on and replace the
bolts/studs. Bolts must be torqued; torque values are
available from your local Flowserve contact.
a CAUTION: To function properly, DiamondBack is always
