Verify that the Emergency Shutoff Valve is Type N551,

and not the previous version Type N550, by conrming

that it is marked with “1” as shown in Figure 2 below.

Please refer to D450042T012 for Type N550/N850

packing removal/replacement Instruction Manual.

If the Type N551(1)’s operating handle closes slowly

or binds in a “no ow” condition, it could be from

binding in the packing gland area or from external

binding, such as a bent operating handle catching on

the latch block, etc. Check for some type of external

binding rst.

If the binding appears to be internal, it could be from

uneven or over-tightened gland bolts (key 33). Try

loosening these two bolts 1/2 turn each and tap the

shaft (key 15) lightly side to side to align the gland

and follower bearing. Snug the bolts down evenly,

only tight enough to prevent leakage. If this does not

free the handle, the packing must be removed and be

either cleaned or replaced.

Removal of Packing

Refer to Figure 25.

3. Turn the gland retainer (key 32) 1/2 turn

counterclockwise, refer to Figure 3.

4. Remove the gland retainer from the gland

(key 27).

gland with a screwdriver, Figure 4.

6. Still holding the shaft in place, work the gland over

the end of shaft to remove the gland, Figure 5.

1. Lubricate a new O-ring (key 65) with Magnalube®-G

grease and install it on the gland (key 27) root,

Figure 10. Note the 2 grooves on the back of the

gland, Figure 11. These 2 grooves must engage the

end of the closing spring (key 25) when the gland is

installed in the body.

2. Insert the gland into the body and slowly turn the

gland while pushing it into place. When the closing

spring snaps in one of the gland’s groove, the gland

ts in the body as deeply as it had originally.

3. Install the packing spring and the two washers into

the gland, Figure 12.

4. Lubricate the shaft, gland, packing and follower

bearing with a liberal amount of Magnalube®-G

grease, Figure 13.

5. Replace the male TFE packing adaptor with the at

side in, Figure 14, working it over the shaft and into

the gland. Be careful not to damage this adaptor.

Apply a liberal amount of Magnalube®-G grease

on the face of this adaptor, Figure 15, that it will be

trapped under the next ring.

6. Install one TFE packing ring with the female side in,

Figure 16, using the same procedure as in step 5.

Again apply a liberal layer of Magnalube®-G grease.

7. Install the graphite adaptor at side out, Figure 17.

8. Install the follower bearing and press it in place

with the gland retainer, Figure 18. The bearing

will extend about 1/8-in. / 3.2 mm from the gland,

Figure 19.

9. Install the gland retainer over the gland. Turn the

retainer about 1/4 turn clockwise, Figure 20, then let

the spring turn the gland back until it stops.

with bolt holes in the body, Figure 21.

11. Wind the gland retainer 1/2 turn clockwise and

install the bolts (key 33), Figure 22.

12. Install the handle assembly (key numbers 18,

22, 23 and 24), Figure 23 and carefully open the

valve. If there is binding before the handle goes

fully open, the closing spring has been wound too

tightly. Repeat steps 9 to 11 to get the proper spring

winding before proceeding.

13. If the handle moves freely to the open position, tap

the shaft lightly side to side, Figure 24, to align the

follower bearing. The valve should now be ready

for service.

14. Carefully repressure the line and check for leaks.
