The Shaft for 2”, 2.5”, 3”, and 4” metal valves (V426, VAV6, V427, VAV7, V428, and VAV8) are being updated to a new single piece design. This new design incorporates the shaft and disc holder into a single casting eliminating one potential leak point within the valve. The assembled dimensional characteristics will not be affected. As a result of this change, the Internal Parts Repair Kits will include the single piece shafts. Part numbers for Internal Part Kits and valve assemblies will remain the same. The new shafts are fully interchangeable with the old design and will be available once inventory of the old design is exhausted.

Because of this change, new Part Numbers are being introduced to replace the old shaft and disc holder Part Numbers as shown below:
