SERVICING CHECK VALVES
A ratchet wrench, 11/16” deep socket, and a 4” long extension
are recommended for removing check assemblies.
1. Close inlet and outlet shut-off valves.
2. Open No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 test cocks to release pressure
from valve.
3. Loosen & remove the grooved coupling around the access
cover. Remove cover.
4. To service only the #1 check assembly, remove the 6 bolts,
washers and o-rings from the back of the #1 check assembly.
Separate the retainer and the seal ring from the check
assembly and proceed to step #8.
5. To service both checks or the #2 check, the #1 check
assembly must rst be removed. Remove the 4 nuts and
washers retaining the #1 check assembly. Remove the
#1 check assembly from the body.
6. To remove the #2 check assembly, remove the 7 nuts,
washers and the #2 check retaining ring. Grasp the check
assembly by the stem and remove from valve.
7. Remove all 6 bolts, washers and o-rings from the check
assembly (See “Check Assembly” illustration). Separate
retainer from check assembly to expose seal ring for inspection.
8. Inspect the rubber seal ring for cuts or embedded debris.
If the reverse side of the seal ring is unused, it is possible
to invert the seal ring. This would be considered a temporary
solution to xing a fouled check and should be replaced
with a new seal ring as soon as possible.
9. Inspect valve cavity and seating areas. Remove any debris.
10. Reverse the above procedures to reinstall check assemblies.
Lubricate seat o-rings to hold them in place while
reinstalling seat. Place washers on studs and tighten
retaining nuts evenly.
11. Reinstall access cover and grooved coupling.
NOTE: If any portion of the seat assembly is damaged or missing
or if the seat sealing rib is damaged in any way, do not attempt
to eld repair it. Contact your local WILKINS representative for
assistance.
