NOTE: It is imperative that the workstation being used to assemble the valve be clean and
free of anything that could possibly contaminate the grease such as metal shavings, dirt, rust,
old paint, etc. Do not sand or deburr near the workstation.
Check surfaces around the valve bore inside the valve pocket for sharp edges that could cause
cutting of the insert o-rings.step 1 &step 2 Screw the clean adjusting nut (13) all the way into the valve body tomake sure the threads are not damaged. After inspection, remove the adjusting nut (13) and
install adjusting nut o-ring (12).
step 3 Check the roll pins (8) in the valve body by gently sliding a set ofinserts (10) intothe valve. The inserts should move freely up and down the length of the roll pin slots without
interference.
step 4 &step 5 Install the plug seals (7) into the recess in the valve body and adjustingnut with the metal back up towards the recess and facing away from the pressure. Always apply
a film of lubricant before pressing the plug seals into place.
step 6 &step 7 &step 8 Check the plug (11) outside diameter for surface defects such asnicks, dings, scratches, etc. that could possibly affect the sealing area. Pack adjusting nut(13)
plug seal(7) with valve grease. Install the lower end of the plug (11)(opposite thehex/keyway) in the adjusting nut (13) and push down until the plug shoulders on the
adjusting nut.
NOTE: For the 0.38" and 1 valves, insert the plug seal (7) first and then the plug
(11) into the recess of the adjusting-nut (13) but do not push the plug (11) all the
way down. Lightly grease the O.D. of the plug (11) and the I.D. of the inserts (10).
Place the inserts (10) around the plug (11) and align the plug bore with the insert
bore. Push the plug (11) down until it shoulders at the bottom of the recess on the
inserts (10).
step 9 Apply a thin film of grease to the entire O.D. of the plug (11).step 10 &step 11 &step 12 &step 13 Check the surface finish of the inserts (10)making sure it does not have any scratches, dings, nicks, or sharp edges that could also affect

the sealing area. Inspect the o-rings for any possible non-conformities. Place the inserts (10)
around the plug and insert the o-rings into the grooves and pack with grease to thoroughly
grease the sealing surface.
step 14 Secure the plug to the adjusting nut with a cap screw (1) and two washers (2 &14).
step 15 Lubricate the valve pocket.step 16 Apply thread compound (Never-sez) to the adjusting threads and adjusting nutsealing surfaces.
step 17 &step 18 Install the plug (11), inserts (10) and adjusting nut (13) assemblyinto the valve body. Support the valve so that the plug (11) hex can pass through
unobstructed.
step 19 Screw in the adjusting nut until proper alignment is obtained between the valvebore and the insert and plug. Do not tighten beyond proper alignment as actuating an overtightened valve could damage internal parts. If sight through the bore is not possible, then
screw in the adjusting nut until 1/2 or no threads are visible.
step 20 Install grease fitting (6).step 21 &step 22 &step 23 Place spiral ring on male end connection and place wing nutand nut retainers and secure with spiral ring (for certain end connections only).
step 24 &step 25 &step 26 Install stop bolt (5) and stop collar (4) (if required), andhandle adapter (3) on top of the valve and secure with a cap screw (1) and two washers
(2 & 14).
step 27 &step 28 Remove excess grease from valve bore and inspect plug alignment.Adjust as necessary with adjusting nut (13).
step 29 Open the valve with the handle adapter (3) and pump grease through the greasefitting (6) to approximately 3000 p.s.i. Actuate the valve to release grease pressure.

Note: If handle adapter (3) or adjusting nut (13) appears to be stuck or locked,pressure may be trapped in the valve. This is also known as pressure locking. Do
not attempt to disassemble a pressure locked valve. Never attempt to remove the
grease fitting of a pressure locked valve.
Remove the handle adapter (3) and stop collar (4). Turn valve over so that adjusting
nut (13) is facing up. Leaving the bottom cap screw (1) in place, screw out (turning
counter-clockwise) the adjusting nut (13). This will allow the entire internal assembly
(adjusting nut (13), plug (11)& inserts (10)) to be removed from the valve pocket at
once.Remove the cap screw (1) attaching the plug to the adjusting nut.Remove the plug (11) and inserts (10).Remove the insert o-rings (9), adjusting nut o-rings (12) and plug seals (7).Clean all of the old lubricant and debris from the parts and valve body internal profile.
Valves should be greased as part of a regular maintenance program. Regular greasing will
increase the service life of the internal valve parts. Routine disassembly and cleaning as partof a maintenance program can prevent unnecessary damage to the valve body. Dixie Iron
Works, Ltd. recommends that valves be greased after every job or every 5 actuations,
whichever one comes first.Valves should be greased according to the severity of use. Each operating company
should establish guidelines for a greasing and/or disassembly program. These
guidelines should be based on the operating conditions. Special consideration
should be given for conditions in which the following would be involved: Abrasives in the fluid stream High flow rates Caustic or Acidic fluid streams High Temperature
7/29/2019 Ensamble y Mtto
21/26
Fluid Streams that would act as solvents such as condensate High number of valve actuations
Valves should not be greased while under pressure. In addition, valves should not
be disassembled for repair while part of an operating arrangement such as a
manifold. This should not be attempted even though the valve may be isolated fromthe fluid stream by other valves.Never attempt to remove the grease fitting from a valve to relieve a pressure-
locking situation.
When repairing a MSI plug valve, the following basic guidelines can help you ensure a good
hydrostatic test of the reassembled valve.
Disassemble the valve completely and detach the internal parts from the adjusting nut. See Section 2.0DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURESfor detailed instructions on valve disassembly. Remove old grease and
debris from valve pocket with a solvent and inspect for wear or damage such as: In the adjusting nut seal bore of the pocket: Scratches could be caused by previous installation
of a damaged adjusting nut. Dings can also occur during assembly. Pitting is usually caused by
failure to disassemble and clean valves after they are in service. Use your fingers to feel for any
surface defects which may either fail to seal against the o-ring or may even damage the o-ring
during assembly. On the adjusting nut o-ring groove area: Check for scratches, dings, or pitting. Dings and
scratches here are usually caused by careless use of sharp metal objects when trying to remove
old o-rings. Feel for any raised edges that might scratch the internal seal bore of the valve body
and sand or file as necessary. On the adjusting nut threads: Check for damaged threads, especially the lead thread. Use your
fingers to check for any raised edges and carefully sand as needed. Severely damaged threadsmust be repaired at the factory.
On the pocket walls: Scratches, dings, or pitting, especially in the area immediately
surrounding the valve bore. Use your fingers to feel for any surface defects which may either fail
to seal against the o-ring or may even damage the o-ring during assembly. Check for any sharp
edges around the valve bore that can cut the insert o-rings. These can be caused by using a bar
when swabbing excess grease or using a bar to carry the valve. On the internal threads: Check for damaged threads, especially the lead thread. Use your
fingers to check for any raised edges and carefully sand as needed. Severely damaged threads
must be repaired at the factory. On the plug seal area: Check for scratches, dings, or pitting. Dings and scratches here are
usually caused by careless use of sharp metal objects when trying to remove old seals. On the plug outside diameter: Check plug for washout, which will render the part unusable.
Hold part in a well illuminated area and inspect for slight scratches in plug. If scratches are
visible use 600 grit sandpaper to remove.
On the insert inside diameter: Check inserts for washout, which will render the parts unusable.
Hold parts up to a well illuminated area and inspect for slight scratches in outer and inner
diameters of inserts. If scratches are visible use 600 grit sandpaper to remove.

When repairing a MSI plug valve, the following basic guidelines can help you ensure a good
hydrostatic test of the reassembled valve.
Sanding is necessary to repair blemishes from the sealing surfaces of parts. Sanding of scratches, dings, and pitting should always be done with 600 grit sanding cloth that
is well lubricated with water or solvent. When sanding sealing surfaces, it is VERY important to
avoid sanding in one spot continuously; sand evenly across the entire sealing surface. Sand
scratches by moving the sandpaper around the plug, not up and down, along the length of the
plug. If scratches cannot be removed utilizing this technique, replace the parts. If raised edges
or dings in non-sealing areas are too large to be sanded effectively, you may use a rotary
flapper-type sanding wheel. It is very important that you do not remove any material other than
the actual raised edge. Do not remove any of the base material or you may permanently damage

the valve and render it unsafe for use.When repairing a MSI plug valve, the following basic guidelines can help you ensure a good
hydrostatic test of the reassembled valve.
If you choose to mix old and new parts, you must make absolutely sure that the old part does not have
any defects. Using 600 grit sanding cloth, wet sand any surface blemishes as described in the 5.2
Sanding Practices. See Section 1.0 ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES for detailed instructions.
Disassemble the valve completely and detach the internal parts from the adjusting nut. See Section 2.0
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURESfor detailed instructions on valve disassembly. Remove old grease and
debris from valve pocket with a solvent and inspect for wear or damage such as: Drain after testing. All equipment should be drained and lubricated after testing and prior to
storage. All components and assemblies should be cleaned of dirt, rust, and other contaminants. Rust Prevention: Equipment should have exposed metallic surfaces protected with a rust
inhibitor which will not become fluid and run at a temperature less than 125 F( 52 C ). Sealing surface protection: Exposed sealing surfaces should be protected from mechanical
damage.
The following is recommended for maximum equipment shelf life:# of Months inStorage Manufacturers Recommendations
0-3 months Nothing required3-6 months Re-grease and operate. Operate by rotating the plug. Check to see that rotation is
smooth without grinding or scraping.6+ months Disassemble, rebuild & retest the valve. Replace all internal seals
Use only MSI recommended greases. Greases intended for gate valves or other
applications may result in failure to achieve a good test and may actually damage
the new parts.MSI Part Number Description Manufacturer's Website
