5)To remove the emergency valve body from the side block the one way valve assembly must first be removed.

6)If the emergency valve body was removed, clean and inspect the pipe thread and inspect for damaged threads, cracking or distortion. Replace the emer- gency valve if any damage is present.

Re-tape threads with Teflon tape, 11/2 wraps starting two threads back, tighten using good engineering practice. To reinstall the emergency valve body onto the side block, the one-way valve assembly must be removed first.
