5. Use new o-ring (36) when replacing recirculation
valve (R). If not using valve (R), plug port with plug
(33). See parts illustration on page 8.
1. Remove plug (31) if 255478 will be used on a
machine with pressure transducers (P).
6. If not using sampling valve (S), plug port with plug
(29).
NOTE:
Valves are shipped with the parts orientated as a hard-
ener valve.
7. Replace seat housing (26) with screws (27).
8. Fill dosing valves A and B packing nuts (7) with
throat seal liquid (TSL) and tighten 1/4 turn after nut
contacts packings; about 145-155 in.-lbs (16-18
N•m).
2. Resin dosing valve (left side): Remove screws (27)
