Equalizing Valve Seat

Reference
All "EL" BOPs. Tech Manuals: 1155 & 1156.

Discussion
The Valve Seat (Part No. 8809-0127) in early style Rams were installed with a NPT pipe thread.
With wear, the make up position of the Valve Seat may change. The tapered pipe thread may also
be over-torqued, causing difficulty in removal with the small size Allen wrench.
Reference Drawing #9005-2293.

The design was changed in July 1991 to include a new Valve Seat (Part No. 8809-0147), utilizing
a #5 SAE straight thread with O-Ring. This is a shoulder type fitting, eliminating the positioning,
over-torquing, and removal problems at assembly .
Reference Drawing #9005-2293 rev A.

Older model Rams can be machined to convert to the #5 SAE.

Since Rams can be moved to various BOPs, the serial number of the BOP can not be relied upon
to determine the type of Valve Seat in the Ram. Inspect the Ram to determine if it has an O-Ring
on the Valve Seat.

Seals Kits must be ordered by specific number to assure that the desired Seals Kit is delivered.
Note that Seals Kit part numbers ending in 0 have the old style NPT thread Valve Seat. Seals Kit
part numbers ending in 2 have the new type Valve Seat with O-Ring.
