Maintenance and Cleaning
Tool required: O-ring removal tool (P/N TSD1597-7), Snap ring pliers.
Normally, purging the valve with appropriate flush material or solvent after use is
sufficient for cleaning. However some material may cause a buildup in the valve
chamber, in this case periodic and thorough cleaning will be required.
CAUTION: Make sure the fluid pressure is released before disassemble the valve.
NOTE:
•
To replace seals please order seal kit part number: 5322-SEALKIT.
•
To repair valve please order valve kit part number: 5322-VALVEKIT.
8.1 CLEANING AND SEALS REPLACEMENT: Refer to figure 5.0
1) Release fluid pressure
2) Disconnect fluid line and remove fluid inlet fitting.
3) Disconnect valve air hose.
4) Hold the fluid housing (6) and rotate the air cylinder (18) counterclockwise. When
completely un-threaded, pull the two valve segments straight apart to separate.
5) Inspect o-ring (17), replace if damaged.
6) Remove four socket head cap screws (12) from the outlet block (11).
7) Pull the outlet block (11) away from the fluid housing (6).
8) Inspect o-ring (10), replace if damaged.
9) Using snap ring pliers, remove retaining ring (8).
10) Remove stainless steel washer (9) from fluid housing (6).
11) Remove upper seal (14).
12) Clean the fluid housing (6), outlet block (11), spool assembly (5), upper and lower
seal (13)(14).
NOTE: Avoid using sharp probes for cleaning. Any nicks or scratches on the seal or
the surfaces of the spool assembly may cause leakage.
13) Inspect both upper (14) and lower seals (13), replace seals if damaged found.
14) Insert upper seal (14) into fluid housing (6) using a soft rod (such as wooden dowel or
plastic). Make sure the o-ring side is facing down.
15) Insert stainless steel washer (9) and secure with retaining ring (8)using snap ring pliers.
16) Insert lower seal (13) into outlet block (11). Make sure the o-ring side is facing up.
17) Insert o-ring (10) into outlet block (11).
18) Reinstall outlet block (11) to fluid housing (6).
19) Lubricate o-ring (17) with o-ring grease.
