1. Remove 1st check prior to removing 2nd check as

described above.

2. Use a torx 45 bit or key to loosen the check retainer

bolts on both side of the valve body (A). Do not

completely remove check retainer bolts from valve

body. Loosen the bolts until the ends of the bolts are

flush with the inner wall of the valve body (B).

3. Insert a flathead screwdriver between the inner valve

body and the second check module flange (C),

screws (A) from the first check seat (B) the double torsion

spring is captured (C) and does not to be retained

during maintenance.

2. After removing the tower screws (A) examine the elastomer

disk (D) and check seat (E) for fouling or damage.

Installing Second Dual-action Check Module

1. Insert second check module (A) into access port (B) with second

check towers (C) pointing downstream. Push second check module

(A) downstream into valve sealing ring (D) until check O-ring (E) rests

against valve sealing ring (D). Push second check module (A) into its

fully seated position by hand.

2. Alternatively place 2"x4" piece of wood cut to 5" length (F) against

the backside of the second check seat ring (G). Using a 1"x4" piece

of wood cut to 16" length (H) as a lever between access port wall

the 2"x4" (F) gently move the second check module (A) into its fully

seated position.

3. Be certain second check module (A) is fully seated and check O-ring

(E) is NOT “fish mouthed” or damaged.

4. Tighten the second check retaining screws (I) ONLY AFTER the

first check module (A) has been installed.

The second check module must be fully seated to ensure

retainer screws do not bind against check seat. Binding

retainer screws against check seat will result in permanent

damage to second check modules.

Installing First Dual-action Check Module

1. Insert first check module (A) into access port (B) with first check

towers (C) pointing downstream. Push first check module (A)

upstream into valve sealing ring (D) until check O-ring (E) is

resting against valve sealing ring (D). Push first check

module (A) into its fully seated position by hand.

(F) as a lever between the second check seat (G) and the first

check towers (C), coax the first check module (A) into its fully

seated position.

3. Be certain first check module (A) is fully seated and check

O-ring (E) is NOT “fish mouthed” or damaged.

4. Now fully tighten the first and second check retaining screws (I).

The ﬁrst check module must be fully seated to ensure

retainer screws do not bind against check towers. Binding

retainer screws against check towers will result in permanent

damage to ﬁrst check modules.

NOTICE

Recommended torque for the check retainer bolts is 50 ft. lb.

Installing Access Port Cover

1. It is best to never remove the access port O-ring (A). Should the access port

O-ring (A) become dislodged, simply insert it back into access port groove (B).
