3.4 Disassemble the valve Depressurize the system. Use regulated air pressure to position diaphragm so that valve is slightly open. You may need to use air pressure to actuate the valve. Tighten the bonnet fasteners in a crisscross pattern. For more information, see 3.3.1 Fastener torque table for valve body to topworks on page Make multiple crisscross passes to build up torque to the final table value.

3.5 Replace the valve diaphragm The replacement diaphragm should be identical in size and grade to the original diaphragm. If replacing a PTFE diaphragm, then follow these steps. Install the new elastomer backing cushion over the tube nut. Invert the PTFE diaphragm by pressing the center of the diaphragm face with your thumbs while holding the edge of the diaphragm with your fingers.
3.6 Adjust the travel (closing) stop If replacing a PTFE diaphragm, re-invert the diaphragm. If the actuator mode of operation is fail open or fail close, select one of these steps. If the actuator Then ... mode of opera- tion is ... Fail open Reduce the air pressure until the back of the diaphragm is flat against the bonnet.
3.7 Change the compressor, tube nut, and snap ring Turn the lower nut counterclockwise while continuing to prevent the adjusting bushing from rotating until the valve stops leaking. Tighten the jam nuts together. 3.7 Change the compressor, tube nut, and snap ring To switch diaphragm types between EPDM and PTFE, the tube nut must be changed.
If present, remove the switch package. Disconnect the air lines. ITT recommends that the following steps be performed on a bench with the body removed from the actuator: Disassemble the valve. For more information, see Disassemble the valve in this manual.
One fixture exists for the series 3, 5, and 8 actuators and one for the series 16 actuator. If present, remove the switch package. Disconnect the air lines. ITT recommends that the following steps be performed on a bench, with the body removed from the actuator: Disassemble the valve.
3.12 Replace the actuator diaphragm for double acting actuator If present, remove the switch package Disconnect the air lines. ITT recommends that the following steps be performed on a bench with the body removed from the actuator: Disassemble the valve.
3.13 Tighten the actuator cover to cover fasteners Remove the actuator top plate and actuator diaphragm. Remove the indicating spindle Install the new actuator diaphragm (top hat up). Be sure the actuator diaphragm is positioned so the diaphragm bolt holes line up with the cover bolt holes with no stretching of the diaphragm.
