6.3. Reassembly
6.3.1. Reassembly of the pneumovalves all types except the pneumovalves isocyanate
In reverse order, observing the following precautions:
1 Install in the stuffing box body: the conical seal, the seal cartridge and the metallic ring
respecting their assembling order.
2 Compress the stuffing box spring 9(by pushing the parts forming the pneumovalve body
by hand) while screwing the needle 11 (or 16).
3 Screw both assembly screws simultaneously and tighten them firmly.
Note 1: It is normal to find a regular, ring-shaped notch on the cone of the needle. This area of
caulking is useful for providing a good seal. However, if it is irregular or has stripes cut into it, the
needle may no longer be sealed and needs to be replaced.
Note 2: An oil-resistant cyanoacrylate sealant (Loctite) is used to produce the seal between the
piston 6 and the shaft 8 (or 14). Only dismantle these parts if absolutely necessary, and renew
this seal when refitting.
Note 3: Before replacing the gaskets 3 or the piston seal 7, soak the replacement parts with a
few drops of pure vaseline oil.
Note 4: If the gaskets, piston seal or needle are changed, "break in" the refitted pneumovalve
by carrying out 500 cycles without product so that:
• The needle is caulked,
• The gaskets are compacted and sit correctly,
• The piston seal is worn in.
6.3.2. Reassembly of the isocyanate pneumovalves
Assembling and Caulking of the biconical sealing ring (Ref.: 441117)
•Step 1: Soak the rings at least 30 minutes in vaseline oil, leave a ring vaseline oil and put it
in the body of piston (ref.: 434987),
•Step 2: Put in place above the spring bushing (Ref.:449093) and to caulk slightly on the
spring bushing (Ref.:449093) (in general a small blow is enough, if not a part of the ring will
pass side piston.)
WARNING : The caulking of the ring will be made without the axis of piston in order to obtain a
light tightening of the ring which will ensure the sealing on the axis.
•Step 3: In the body of stuffing box (Ref.:1312749), install the tapered seal (Ref.:749986) and
the equipped seal cartridge (Ref.:749987) (take care to the direction of assembling of the
equipped seal cartridge).
•Step 4: Put in place the drain washer (Ref.:749985) then the spring (Ref.:449095).
•Step 5: Secure the body of stuffing box on the body of pneumovanne with the two screws
(F/90 HC 4x20 ref.: X4EVSF123).
Assembly of the axis of the piston in the body
•Step 6: Block the axis of piston side "fir tree" on a small chuck of drilling machine positioned
vertically (not to twist the axis), introduce the pneumovalve side stuffing box, and screw it
on the level of the sealing ring (ref.: 441117 (to avoid withdrawing it).
•Step 7:Push completely the pneumovalve until it stops on the chuck.
•Step 8: Clean the axis (threading recover a little trimming and vaseline).Screw and block
the nut (ref.: X4KEHU003) completely.
Note: the axis should not turn in the chuck.
