** When removing the ball valve seats (6), gently mark (with a black marker) the
opposite side of the seats (6) (not facing the ball (4)) to ensure proper reassembly.
Inspect all parts and replace them if necessary.
To re-install the ball valve, follow steps 1 through 7 in reverse order.
When reinstalling the ball valve seats (6), ensure that the black mark is on the opposite
side of the ball (4) (facing the block (1) and facing the carrier (2)).
If new ball valve seats (6) are used during the reinstallation, gently operate the ball valve
5 times after tightening the carrier (2).
When reinstalling the connector (29), ensure the o-ring (31) is well positioned in the
groove.
Important:
Torque the carrier (2) to 20 in-lb (dynamically).
Verify that the carrier (2) position from the block (1) surface is within the following
tolerances:
 Calibration column and injection ball valve: 0 mm (0 in; flush to the block
surface) ±0.25 mm (0.010 in)
 Evacuation ball valve: 71.6 mm (2.820 in) ±0.25 mm (0.010 in)
Torque the stem nut (5) to 30 in-lb.
Torque the handle set screw (12) to 60 oz-in.
Always grease all o-rings with clear food grade silicone NLGI #1 grease prior to
assembly.
The following tools are required:
 Carrier (2): 27-mm socket
 Handle set screw (12): 3-mm Allen
 Stem nut (5): 22-mm socket
 Torque wrench
