WARNING: Installation, disassembly, repair and maintenance<br />

must be performed only by qualified personnel.<br />

All gas MUST be evacuated from the system before starting<br />

repairs.<br />

Installation, usage and maintenance of this product must be in<br />

compliance with all Engineered Controls International, Inc. instructions<br />

as well as requirements and provisions of NFPA #54, NFPA<br />

#58, DOT, ANSI, all applicable federal, state, provincial and local<br />

standards, codes, regulations and laws.<br />

Inspection and maintenance on a periodic basis is essential.<br />

Be sure all instructions are read and understood before installation,<br />

operation and maintenance. These instructions must be<br />

passed along to the end user of the product.<br />

CAUTION: Contact or inhalation of liquid propane, ammonia and<br />

their vapors can cause serious injury or death! NH3 and LP-Gas<br />

must be released outdoors in air currents that will insure dispersion<br />

to prevent exposure to people and livestock. LP-Gas must be kept<br />

far enough from any open flame or other source of ignition to<br />

prevent fire or explosion! LP -Gas is heavier than air and may not<br />

disperse or evaporate rapidly if released in still air.<br />

NOTE: When servicing obsolete 3100 and 7100 Series cylinder<br />

valves, a conversion to the o-ring style trim is preferred to straight<br />

repair. The o-ring style assembly provides construction that is<br />

more resistant to over-torquing on closure or opening to the backseated<br />

position. Installation in the field is easier, due to metal-tometal<br />

makeup between the body and bonnet and the elimination of<br />

retaining compound as a thread sealant. Order Engineered Controls<br />

International, Inc. repair kit 3100-81K for conversion to the o-<br />

ring style.<br />

Disassembly and <strong>Repair</strong> Procedure<br />

CAUTION: READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS,<br />

INCLUDING THE NOTICE AND WARNINGS ON THE BACK OF<br />

THIS SHEET, BEFORE BEGINNING ANY DISASSEMBLY OR RE-<br />

PAIR.<br />

NOTE: <strong>Repair</strong>s must be performed in a clean area. Hands, clothing,<br />

tools and work area must be completely free of oil, grease and foreign<br />

matter to prevent contamination of component parts and valves.<br />

A. Disassembly<br />

1. EVACUATE ALL GAS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE ANY<br />

DISASSEMBLY OR REPAIR. Turn handwheel counter clockwise<br />

as far as it will go to release any gas remaining in the container.<br />

CAUTION: Do not apply force after valve is fully open and backseated.<br />

7100 Series Cylinder Valves<br />

2. Using a screwdriver, remove the handwheel screw and washer by<br />

turning counterclockwise--thus allowing removal of the handwheel.<br />

Save these parts for reassembly.<br />

3. Place the valve body securely in a vise or hold the body with a<br />

wrench if still in the cylinder. Remove the bonnet, turning counterclockwise<br />

(right hand thread). A substantial wrench must be used<br />

as the bonnet was originally installed using retaining compound.<br />

Attached to the bonnet will be the valve stem and diaphragm<br />

assembly.<br />

4a. If using repair kit 3100-80A, discard the entire diaphrgam, bonnet<br />

and stem assembly. Proceed to the reassembly instructions.<br />

4b. If using repair kit 3100-80B, follow all of the remaining disassembly<br />

and reassembly instructions.<br />

5. Detach the diaphragm assembly from the bonnet and valve stem by<br />

turning the square of the valve stem in a clockwise (right hand)<br />

direction to remove the stem from the bonnet The diaphragm<br />

assembly may be detached by sliding the diaphragm stem head out<br />

of the slotted opening of the valve stem. Remove the backseat<br />

washer from the stem. Discard the diaphragm assembly, and<br />

backseat washer, and save the bonnet and stem assembly.<br />

B. Reassembly<br />

1. Brush the threads of the bonnet with a wire brush to make the<br />

thread surfaces as clean as possible by removing old retaining<br />

compound and other foreign materials present which may prevent<br />

a tight seal. The female threads in the valve body from which the<br />

bonnet was removed cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with a wire<br />

brush. To remove the old compound, use a 1 1 /16"-18 NEF-2 thread<br />

tap (available from local sources). Care must be used in applying<br />

the tap so that it starts squarely in the body threads. If oil or grease<br />

is present on the body or bonnet threads, it should be removed with<br />

a suitable solvent.<br />

CAUTION: Do not scratch or mar seat area in valve body.<br />

2a. If using repair kit 3100-80A, proceed to step 3.<br />

2b. If using repair kit 3100-80B, place new backseat washer over<br />

stem and insert into bonnet. Slide the stem head of the new<br />

diaphragm assembly into the slotted opening of the valve stem of<br />

the bonnet and stem assembly. Turn the square of the valve stem<br />

counterclockwise until the diaphragm is almost touching the<br />

bottom of the bonnet.<br />
