6.6 Assembly
All components should be clean. Before 
assembling the following parts, lubricate with 
pure nickel 'Never-Seez'.
• Nozzle and body threads
• Nozzle and body sealing surface
• All studs and nut threads
• Spindle and threads
• Set screw threads
• Spring washer bevels
• Adjusting bolt and bonnet threads
• Bonnet pipe plug
• Cap threads
• All metal gaskets
• Dog shaft bearing threads
• Disc holder threads (bellows valves only)
FIGURE 12
Recommended lubrication points
Lubricate the spindle point thrust bearing and 
disc insert bearing with pure nickel 'Never-
Seez'. Special attention should be given to 
the guiding surfaces, bearing surfaces and 
gasket surfaces to ensure that they are clean, 
undamaged and ready for assembly (Figure 12).
For parts identification, refer to Figure 1.
6.6.1  Before installing the nozzle (2) apply 
lubricant to the flange surface in contact 
with the valve body (1) and on the body 
to nozzle threads. Screw the nozzle (2) 
into the valve body (1) and tighten with a 
nozzle wrench.
6.6.2 
Screw the nozzle ring (3) onto the nozzle (2).
  Note: the top of the nozzle ring should be 
above the nozzle seating surface. For P, 
Q, R and T orifice Style JLT, position the 
nozzle ring per Table 2.
6.6.3  For bellows valves only, place the disc 
holder in a vise (larger sizes may require 
a 3 jaw vise) as shown in Figure 8. 
Installthe tailpiece gasket (29).
  Screw the bellows assembly onto the 
disc holder. Tighten with a suitable 
wrench.
6.6.4  Assemble the disc insert (8) and the disc 
holder (5). 
(See Figure 14 for O-ring soft 
seat assembly).
  Install the disc insert retention clip (9) 
onto the disc insert.
  Install the disc insert into the disc 
holder. The disc insert should snap into 
place using handforce only.
  Safety precautions should be followed 
whenever heavy parts are being lifted or 
transported.
  Dropping the disc holder assembly may 
dislodge the insert.
6.6.5 
Assemble the disc holder (5) and guide (15) 
by sliding the guide over the disc holder.
  Note: the guide for D and E orifice valves 
protrudes up into the valve bonnet.
6.6.6  Install the two guide gaskets (28), 
oneabove and one below the guide.
  Note: when assembling bellows valves, 
the bellows flange eliminates the need 
for a bottom guide gasket.
6.6.7 
While holding the top of the disc holder, 
install the guide into the body. Align the 
hole of the guide with the body outlet. Once 
the guide is seated, the disc holder and 
disc insert can be lowered onto the nozzle.
  Note: lower the nozzle ring below the 
seats so that it moves freely.
6.6.8  Place the spring (18) and washers (19) 
onto the spindle (16) and assemble the 
spindle to the disc holder (5) with the 
spindle cotter pins.
  Note: no cotter pins are required in D 
through K orifice sizes; all other orifice 
sizes use two cotter pins.
6.6.9 
Lower the bonnet (20) over the spindle 
and spring assembly onto the bonnet 
studs (21) in the body. Position the bonnet 
counter bore on the O.D. of the guide and 
lower the bonnet onto the guide.
6.6.10  Screw the bonnet nuts (22) onto the 
bonnet studs and tighten down evenly to 
prevent unnecessary strain and possible 
misalignment.
6.6.11  Screw the adjusting bolt (24) and nut (25) 
into the top of the bonnet to apply force 
on the spring. (The original set pressure 
can be approximated by screwing the 
adjusting bolt down to the predetermined 
measurement).
6.6.12  Move the nozzle ring up until it touches 
the disc holder, then lower it two 
notches. This is a test stand setting only.
6.6.13  Place the set screw gasket (27) onto the 
set screw (4) and screw the set screw 
into the body engaging the nozzle ring. 
The nozzle ring should move back and 
forth slightly after the set screw is 
tightened.
6.6.14  The valve is now ready for testing.
  After testing, the following measures 
should be taken:
  •  Be sure that adjusting bolt nut (25) is 
locked.
  •  Return the nozzle ring to either the 
original recorded position or to the 
recommended position shown in Table 1.
  •  Install the cap or lifting device. 
SeeFigure 14 for lifting lever assembly.
  •  Seal the cap or lifting lever device 
and nozzle ring set screw to prevent 
tampering.
