Valve Body: Service and Repair
Assembly

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the
valve body components should all slide into place easily. In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate and valve body screws during
reassembly. Overtightening can distort the housings resulting in valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory operation. Tighten valve
body screws to recommended torque only.
