Disassembly

The Block Valve Disassembly Kit is used to disassemble A2800 Series block valves. The kit includes a nut, washer, and threaded rod. Together, the kit items screw down through the top opening of the block valve into a stand-off inside the valve. As the kit screws into the stand-off, it compresses the compression spring inside the valve, freeing the valve cover from the pressure of the compression spring and allowing easy removal of the twelve valve cover screws.

 

Follow these steps to remove the cover from the block valve:

1.Safely drain all liquid from the meter system (and all piping). See warning below.

2.Remove any plumbing from the hole at the top of the valve cover.

3.Insert the threaded rod into the hole and screw it into the stand-off inside the valve.

4.Slide the washer over the threaded rod.

5.Screw nut onto the threaded rod until it is flush with the top of the cover.

6.Remove screws from valve cover.

7.Slowly loosen the nut until the cover can be removed.
