tive seating check valves. Seats and seat discs shall be replace-
able in both check valves and the relief valve without the use of
special tools. Service of all internal check valve components shall
be through top mounted access bronze covers threaded to the
main valve body. The check valve poppet assembly shall be guided
via the use of a corrosion resistant plastic guide. The check valve
and relief valve seats shall be push-in type. The relief valve cover
shall be bronze construction secured with stainless steel bolts and
