INSTALLATION All valves are factory adjusted and tested at the pressure marked on the operator label. Refer to Parker Autoclave Engineers’ Valves, Fittings and Tubing Catalog (installation section) for proper tubing connection installation. The air supply connection on the operator is 1/8” NPT. The recommended value for air pressure at the maximum valve operating pressures is shown on the operator label.
SPRING ADJUSTMENT - OL, OM and OH VALVES ONLY On some sizes of the OL, OM and OH operators, the spring limits the travel at the maximum pressures. This affects the flow capacity of the valve. See the Air Operator Sizing Data in the Valve Actuators Section of the VFT Catalog for actual system travel and flow coefficient. If a longer stem travel is desired when the operating pressure is less than the maximum, then this should be requested at the time of order so that the valve will be properly adjusted at the factory.

PACKING OR STEM REPLACEMENT To change packing or stem, follow the steps listed below. Relieve all pressure from the valve and operator. OL, OM and OH Valves Only: Loosen the jam nut on top of the spring housing, then loosen the screw until all spring compression is relieved.
SEAT REPLACEMENT (Replacement Seat Valves) When the seat requires replacement, use the following procedure. Relieve all pressure from the valve. (OL, OM, and OH valves only) Loosen the jam nut on top of the spring housing then loosen the screw until all spring compression is relieved.

The stem may be attached to the diaphragm head in a number of different ways. Follow one of the below procedures and refer to the indicated illustration that applies to the operator being repaired. • (Figure 4) Loosen the hex socket set screw (Item #21) from the top of the diaphragm head and unscrew the stem.

10. Place a new diaphragm in the lower housing, making sure that it fits into the recess, as shown in Figure 1. Refer to the replacement parts list for the proper diaphragm part number. Place the diaphragm head over the diaphragm, place the washer onto the stem, push the stem through the packing gland, o-ring retainer and diaphragm, and attach it into the diaphragm head.
