5-2  VDC, VAC, VST, VAA - Diaphragm Control Valve
Split -type cage valve employs no spiral gasket. Mount cage (lower) directly onto 
the valve body using the cage clamping/removing tool.
(3) Mount bonnet. When securing nuts, turn all bolts by hand as far as possible and 
then uniformly tighten them with a wrench, avoiding biased tightening which will 
cause mechanical stress.
(4) Insert gland packing into gland section. For assembly procedure, see Chapter 5 
“Parts Replacement”, subsection 5-1 “Replacement of Gland Packing”.
(5) Mount actuator on to the valve body. Securely tighten yoke clamp nut with a 
wrench.
(6) Connect actuator stem and valve stem with stem connector. For this assembly 
procedure, see Chapter 6 “Control Valve Adjustment“, Item (a) “Lift Adjustment”.
(7) Secure air connection to the actuator.
5-3 :  Disassembly and Reassembly of Bellows-sealed Valve
(1) Follow the disassembly procedure in Item (a), steps (1) through (5) for a regular 
valves.
(2) Remove the bellows ange gasket (upper)
(3) Remove the hex nut of the bellows ange. When doing this, securely hold bellows 
seat with wrench so that no unreasonably large force is applied to bellows.
(4) Remove bellows ange and gasket (lower), by evenly striking the bellows seat 
from above.
(5) Loosen the extension bonnet nuts and remove extension bonnet.
(6) Pull out the valve plug upwards. the valve plug and stem are integrated with the 
bellows, bellows seal, and pin.
(7) For further disassembly, follow the same procedure as that of Item (a), steps (6) 
and (7) for a regular valve.
(8) To assemble the control valve, follow the reverse order of the above disassembly 
procedure in reverse order. Make sure to hold the bellows seat with a wrench 
when tightening the hex nut of the bellows ange, lest unreasonably large force 
should not be applied to the bellows.
