• TACK weld the flanges to the piping in several places.
(Fig. 25) Do NOT seam weld at this time!
• Remove the lug bolts and carefully remove the valve
body from the flanges.
• Seam weld the entire flange / piping connection for
both flanges. (Fig. 26)
• Let the piping components cool completely before re-
inserting the valve body. (Fig. 27)
WARNING! Seam welding with the valve body
installed between the flanges can damage the liner
due to heat migration through the flange to the
valve body.
