Disassembly/Reassembly
WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Use the procedures on the following pages to remove components. Use the same procedures
in reverse to reassemble. (Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment
and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.)
In cases where sufficient maintenance space has been provided for (see page 18, "Installation
and Maintenance Space"), maintenance can be carried out without disconnecting the inlet and
outlet piping. Where there is insufficient maintenance space, first disconnect the inlet and
outlet piping, and then move the unit to a spacious area in which maintenance can be carried
out safely.
When reassembling:
• Be sure to replace the body and cover gaskets with new gaskets. Also replace any parts
that are broken or show serious wear. If any parts require replacement, refer to "Replacement
Parts" on page 22.
• When reassembling, coat threads and bolts with anti-seize. Tighten the body and cover bolts in
a uniform manner left and right, being careful to avoid uneven tightening.
• If drawings or other special documentation were supplied for the product, any torque given
there takes precedence over values shown here.
NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may expode due to
increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or
damage to propery and equipment.
Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg
(44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if
the object should fall.
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product
has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the product
when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, causing
burns, other injuries or damage.
Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the
product. Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid discharge,
which may cause burns or other injury.
