4 Installation 4 Installation 4.1 Install the valve and topworks NOTICE: The topworks size and configuration can limit the actual operating pressure. Consult the Pure- Flo catalog for pressure limitations. Consult the factory or engineering catalog for vacuum op- eration. If you have a weld end valve, then consider the following: If you are welding ...
4.2 Tighten the bonnet fasteners Tighten the bonnet fasteners in a crisscross pattern. For more information, see 4.2.1 Fastener torque table for valve body to topworks on page Make multiple crisscross passes to build up torque to the final table value. Make additional criss- cross passes using final table values to evenly tighten each fastener to within 5% of torque value.
4.3 Set the travel stop Values given are for lubricated fasteners. Minimum values given will provide longer diaphragm cycle life for valves in non-auto- clave and low thermal cycle conditions. Maximum values given will be required for autoclave conditions and for high thermal cycle conditions.
For a sealed bonnet, the bonnet intervals and seals should be constructed of materials suitable for exposure to the process fluid or gas. If in doubt, contact ITT for evaluation. The valve is closed with a clockwise rotation of the handwheel.

5.2 Operate the Adjustable Open Stop Turn handwheel until it is in the desired open position. Turn capscrew clockwise until its lower end is in contact with the top of the stem of the bonnet as- sembly. Turn the nut clockwise tight against the top of the cap. Opening stop is now set.

6.4 Disassemble the valve 6.4 Disassemble the valve Remove all line pressure. Turn the valve to the open position counter clockwise at least one turn. Remove the bonnet fasteners. Lift the topworks assembly from the valve body. 6.5 Replace the valve diaphragm Disassemble the valve.

6.5 Replace the valve diaphragm Rotate the diaphragm until hard stop or heavy resistance is achieved and additional force does not significantly rotate the diaphragm into the compressor. If replacing a PTFE diaphragm, re-invert the diaphragm. Back off (no more than half turn) until the bolt holes in diaphragm and the bonnet flange align. Rotate the handwheel counterclockwise just enough to permit the flange area of the diaphragm to rest flat against the flange area of the bonnet.
6.6 Change the diaphragm type 6.6 Change the diaphragm type Remove the bonnet nuts and lift off the bonnet. Remove the plastic cap and travel stop nut. Loosen the handwheel setscrew(s) and remove the handwheel from the bonnet. Remove the diaphragm, spindle and bushing assembly by withdrawing it through bottom of bonnet. Remove the compressor.
