1. Remove ball plug snap rings using Truarc pliers.
2. Remove ball plugs using awl or pointed tool.
3. Secure female component in vise with ball plug holes positioned over a
suitable container.
4. Rotate male component. Ball bearings should drop out.
NOTE: It may be necessary to thin hardened lubricant with petroleum
solvent.
5. Separate male and female components after ball bearings have been
removed.
CAUTION: Do not damage machined surfaces when separating
components. Protect sealing surfaces at all times.
6. Carefully remove old packing from female packing chamber using a screw-
driver.
CAUTION: Use extreme care in removing old packing to prevent
damage to sealing surfaces.
7. Remove grease retainer and secondary O-ring seal from female
component except as indicated in Inset A.
8. Clean all parts with petroleum solvent.
9. Inspect parts for excessive wear, corrosion or other damage.
a. Inspect ball races for dents or grooves.
b. Check male and female components for excessive erosion or
corrosion.
c. Carefully inspect the inside surfaces of elbows for evidence of
erosion or corrosion.
WARNING: Longsweep Swivel Joints exhibiting a wall thickness
below the minimum allowable shall be removed from service.
Replace all parts that show evidence of damage in the ball races,
sealing surfaces, or other areas.
10. Sealing surfaces must be completely smooth. Remove minor scratches or
pitting by polishing with fine abrasive.
11. Reclean all parts after polishing to remove metal particles and foreign
matter.
ASSfMtY
1. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to ball races, sealing surfaces and new
packing.
CAUTION: Make sure correct lubricant is used for intended service
conditions. (See Lubricant Data).
2. Install new grease retainer in female component or on male. (See
inset A.)
CAUTION: Retainer lip must face away from ball races.
3. Install new secondary O-ring seal on male component.
4. Install new packing in female component packing chamber.
CAUTION: Anti-extrusion ring must face outward, toward ball races.
5. Secure female component in vise with ball plug holes on top.
6. Insert male component into female component.
7. Look through ball plug hole to align ball races.
8. Drop balls into races. Rotate male component and add balls until
all three races are filled with the proper number of balls.
WARNING: Count the number of balls installed in each race to be
certain that the proper number of balls are installed. Incorrect
number may cause binding or excessive wear and reduced pressure or
structural capacity.
9. Insert ball plugs. (See Inset B for 3 XHTL.)
10. Insert ball plug snap rings.
11. Lubricate bearings as follows:
a. Install grease fitting
b. Use small, hand-held grease gun to force a small amount of
lubricant through the fitting.
CAUTION: Make sure correct lubricant is used for intended service
conditions (See Lubricant Data).
c. Rotate male component 90 degrees (quarter turn) and add more
grease through each fitting.
d. Repeat step c (above) two more times, lubricating at each
quarter turn.
e. Check smoothness of rotation.
CAUTION: Excessive lubrication can cause swivel to bind, distort the
anti-extrusion ring and displace the packing. Use only enough
lubricant to obtain smooth rotation. If the swivel is more difficult to
rotate after greasing than before, or if lubricant is detected on inside
of primary packing, or if distortion of packing is noted on inner
diameter, disassemble joint and carefully inspect all seals for damage.
Replace damaged seals and any packing which has been distorted or
displaced into the bore.
12. Remove grease fitting and install lube fitting plug.
13. After assembly the swivel joint should be pressure tested to the
full rated pressure.
