This manual is divided into different areas to assist you with your installation and operation of your steering box support system. This product is not a replacement for a new steering box and/or ball joints, but it will aid in reducing the stress placed on the steering box and associated wear. All steering components should be checked and replaced if necessary prior to addition of the steering box support. Installation should occur on a vehicle properly secured to prevent rolling. Application of lubrication at regular chassis lube intervals will promote bearing life.

Flange Requirements:
DEI’s resilient seated (RS) valves are designed for installation between ANSI Class 125/150 flat or raised faced flanges. Gaskets are not required. Lined pipe, heavy wall pipe or flanges must have a minimum allowable inside diameter at the centered body face to clear the disc sealing edge when opening the valve.

Storage:
The valves should be stored on a pallet or “skid” in a clean, dry warehouse. If the valves must be stored outside, the following apply:
1. Valves must be kept off the ground high enough to avoid standing water.
2. Cover the valves with a water repellant cover (not included with valve).
