Other standard sizes available in increments of two inches, or valves can

be custom made to customer specifications.
Do not use for construction purposes unless dimensions are approved.
Shaft may be vertical, if end of valve opposite power end is down (verti-
cal thrust bearing or washer required).

MAINTENANCE Sales Representative:

Shan-Rod valves require a minimum of maintenance, depending on ser-
vice conditions. Stub shaft attached to disc with 304-SS taper pins allows
easy shaft and disc removal. Inboard bushings do not require lubrication,
thereby saving time. If service is dirty or corrosive, use of optional teflon
bushings or outboard bearings is recommended. Lubricated and/or purged
stuffing boxes should also be employed. All parts are easily replaced in
field and, if required, are available from local sources since materials of
construction are standard.
