3.Remove the retaining ring (14) that secures the purge valve assembly (15) in the end cover (6).

4.Vertical check valve models: Remove the retaining ring (30) that secures the delivery check valve assembly in the end cover (6). Remove and separate the perforated plate (26), spring (27), check valve body (28) and o-ring (29).

5.Horizontal check valve models: Remove delivery check valve plug (23) that secures the check valve assembly in the end cover (6). Remove the spring (24), check valve (25) and o-ring (2).

6.Remove the retaining ring (20) that secures the heater and thermostat assembly (21) in the end cover (6). Gently pull the heater and thermostat (21) out of the end cover (6) and remove the o-ring (19).

7.Using a 9/16” wrench, remove the safety valve assembly (22) from the end cover (6).

CLEANING & INSPECTION

1.Using mineral spirits or an equivalent solvent, clean and thoroughly dry all metal parts except the desiccant cartridge.

2.Inspect the interior and exterior of all metal parts that will be reused for severe corrosion, pitting and cracks.

Superficial corrosion and/or pitting on the exterior portion of the end cover is acceptable.

3.Inspect the bores of both the end cover and the purge valve housing for deep scuffing or gouges.

4.Make certain that all purge valve housing and end cover passages are open and free of obstructions.

5.Inspect the pipe threads in the end cover. Make certain they are clean and free of thread sealant.

6.Make certain that the purge orifice in the cartridge bolt is open and free of obstructions.

7.Inspect all air line fittings for corrosion. Clean all old thread sealant from the pipe threads.

8.All o-rings removed should be discarded and replaced with new o-rings provided in appropriate kit(s).

ASSEMBLY

For purge valve assembly instructions refer to the instruction sheet included in the kit. A listing of maintenance kits is included in this document.

1.Complete the purge valve installation per the installation instructions provided in the service kit.

2.Using a 9/16” wrench, install the safety valve assembly

(22)into the end cover (6).

3.Vertical check valve models: See Figure 9. Install the o-ring (29) on the check valve body (28) and push the o-ring down, over the 3 guide lands until it is in the o-ring groove of the check valve body (28). Install the check valve spring (27) on the check valve body so that the small coils of the spring slip over the check valve body. Install the assembled check valve body, o-ring, and spring (27, 28 & 29) in the end cover (6) so that the o-ring rests on its seat in the end cover (6) and the spring is visible. Install the perforated plate (26), in the end cover (6) and secure the check valve assembly using the retaining ring (30). Make certain the retaining ring is fully seated in its groove in the end cover (6).

4.Horizontal check valve models: Install o-ring (2) onto check valve (25). Place the check valve in the delivery check valve port of the end cover (6). Install the spring

(24)over the delivery check valve (36) and secure with the delivery check valve plug (23).

5.Install the o-ring (19) on the heater and thermostat assembly (21). After making certain the sponge rubber cushion is positioned between the connector body and thermostat, gently push the heater and thermostat assembly (21) into the end cover (6), making certain the heating element enters the small diameter bore in the larger heater and thermostat bore in the end cover

(6).Secure the heater and thermostat assembly in the body using the retaining ring (20). Make certain the retaining ring is fully seated in its groove in the end cover (6).

6.Lubricate the o-rings (12 & 13) and install them on the desiccant cartridge bolt (10) and using a twisting motion, insert the assembled desiccant cartridge bolt in the end cover (6).

7.Install the desiccant cartridge (11) on the end cover

(6)making certain the cartridge is properly seated and flush on the end cover.
