How Do I Take Apart My Ball Valve?

Info & Discussions Add comments

 

Our ball valves are designed to be easily disassembled and reassembled.  As a professional brewery owner, it was my firm belief that something that should be cleaned should be easy to clean.  Here is how you disassemble our valves for cleaning.

  1. Turn the handle so it is at a right angle to the valve body (closed position).
  2. Apply wrench to the end of the valve body that comes off.  You can tell which end by looking at the fat part of the valve.
  3. Once you loosen the end, it should readily spin off.
  4. The ball should now come out fairly easily.  You might need to poke it out by inserting a pencil in the opposite end.
  5. Remove the white seals that surround the ball and also remove the O-ring from the end you removed in step 3, above.
  6. Clean the valve body and the seals.
  7. Reassemble.  Do not over-tighten.
