APPENDIX A

VALVE TORQUE AND STAKING

IMI Cornelius provided Service Bulletin number TSB–06–3 concerning the proper torquing and staking of FCB

equipment using the Delta stainless steel dispensing valve. The procedures in the Service Bulletin ensured that

the shank nut used to retain the Delta dispensing valve to the faceplate was tightened to the correct torque and

then staked so that the shank nut could not be dislodged. All newly manufactured equipment utilizing the Delta

dispense valve, beginning with serial numbers 62B0620FC001, has been staked in the factory. Consequently,

all Delta valves should now be torqued and staked. A procedure for properly attaching and torquing a Motorman

Valve is also included.

This dispensing valve shank nut torque procedure must be followed (a) if a Delta valve has not previously been

torqued and staked, (b) if the shank nut on a Delta stainless steel valve that has been staked is later removed

and then reinstalled, or (c) the FCB equipment has a Motorman valve. The processes for checking the torque of

the shank nut for both the Delta and Motorman valve configurations and for staking the shank nut (Delta valve

configuration ONLY) are detailed in this Procedure. The Cornelius tool (part number 620711709) to be used to

torque the shank nut can be purchased by contacting BEVCORe at 763–488–3000.

NOTE: When reinstalling a shank nut that has been removed from a staked Delta valve, the shank nut

must be FLUSH with the faceplate before applying the torque setting. If the thread or shank nut have

been damaged during removal and/or the shank nut cannot be installed flush with the faceplate, the

valve should be replaced.

The following procedure details the proper method to apply torque to the shank nut on V–Series dispensing

valves Both Delta and Motorman configurations. This procedure begins with the faceplate assembly removed

from the barrel and the inside surface of faceplate wiped dry, especially around shank nut. (See section

Servicing Dispensing Valves Page 50 for instructions to drain barrels).
