CAUTION
To prevent premature failure of diaphragm, nut must be tight If nut is loose on stem, diaphragm
could pull loose and tear under pressure.
(7) Install diaphragm (10), diaphragm washer (9) and nut (8) on stem (15). Tighten nut until
diaphragm cannot be twisted on stem.
(8) Check compression of disc (12) between disc guide (14) and disc retainer (11). Disc should be
compressed very lightly. If disc is deformed, install additional spacer washers (13) between disc
guide and disc retainer as required.
