Installation,
Operation, And
Maintenance

Installation
Install valve in piping system using proper size gaskets/seals
rings or threaded end connections. Threaded valves require
a thread sealant/lubricant for proper make-up.
Caution: Inspect male pipe thread for damage (l.e. nicks,
burrs ect.) prior to installation. Also, do not over tighten NPT
connection or thread joint damage may occur.
Threaded-End valves should be installed using two pipe
wrenches, one on the flats of the adapter or body and
the other on the adjacent pipe. DO NOT apply wrench to
the body section or opposite side when making up pipe
as this may result in damage to the body or breaking
loose the threaded adapter-to-body connection. In
addition, all pipe sections should be properly supported
to prevent excessive bending loads applied to the valve.
WARNING, weighted objects suspended on the downstream endof a threaded connection, create bending
loads and may result in failure of the body to adapter
connection.

Operation
AOP Ball Valves are recommended for on-off service
only. Throttling may cause excessive non-uniform
wear on seats, preventing tight shut-off. All AOP Ball
Valves open by rotating handle in counter-clockwise direction.

Maintenance
AOP Ball Valves are permanently lubricated during
assembly and normally require no routine maintenance. However all Series CT, DT assemblies include
an external stem lube fitting for periodic lubrication
of stem journal if desired.

Reconditioning
To replace seats, ball or body seal:
See exploded view on page two. Open valve, unscrew
adapter (2) from body (1). Remove body seal(10). Turn ball (3)
to the closed postion and remove. Remove seats (4) with care
to prevent damaging flats surfaces of the seat cavity in body and
adapter. Clean seat cavities and body seal seating surfaces
using fine emery. Replace seats and ball. Grease body seal and
position it in its groove in the adapter. Replace adapter, assuring
that it butts metal-to-metal against the body.
To replace Stem or Stem Seal:
With ball removed loosen locknut and lift handle/square nut from
stem. Remove retainer (12), allowing removal of stop plate (10)
and stem bearing (8). Remove stem (5), stem seals (11), and
thrust bearing (9) through body bore. Clean stem journal in body
using fine emery. Grease stem journal. Place thrust bearing and
stem seals on stem in that order. Apply a coat of grease to all parts
Replace stem, using a wooded pry against the bottom of the stem
if necessary. Assure that the stem seals are not pinched during
re-assembly. Replace stem bearing, stop plate and retainer.
Reaffix handle/square nut on stem and tighten locknut.
Reassembly valve as above.
