7 I. Product Safety Sign and Label System If and when required, appropriate safety labels have been included in the rectangular margin blocks throughout this manual. Safety labels are vertically oriented rectangles as shown in the representative examples (below), consisting of three panels encircled by a narrow border. The panels can contain four messages which communicate: The level of hazard seriousness The nature of the hazard The consequence of human, or product, interaction with the hazard The instructions, if necessary, on how to avoid the hazard The top panel of the format contains a signal word (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or ATTENTION) which communicates the level of hazard seriousness. The center panel contains a pictorial which communicates the nature of the hazard, and the possible consequence of human or product interaction with the hazard. In some instances of human hazards the pictorial may, instead, depict what preventive measures to take, such as wearing personal protective equipment. The bottom panel may contain an instruction message on how to avoid the hazard. In the case of human hazard, this message may also contain a more precise definition of the hazard, and the consequences of human interaction with the hazard, than can be communicated solely by the pictorial. 1 DANGER Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death. 2 WARNING Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death. 3 CAUTION Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury. 4 ATTENTION Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in product or property damage Do not remove bolts if pressure in line, as this will result in severe personal injury or death. Know all valve exhaust/ leakage points to avoid possible severe personal injury or death. Wear necessary protective equipment to prevent possible injury Handle valve carefully. Do not drop or strike General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Consolidated Series Safety Valve Maintenance Manual 5

8 II. Safety Alerts Read - Understand - Practice Danger Alerts A DANGER alert describes actions that may cause severe personal injury or death. In addition, it may provide preventive measures to avoid severe personal injury or death. DANGER alerts are not all-inclusive. GE cannot know all conceivable service methods nor evaluate all potential hazards. Dangers include: High temperature/pressure can cause injury. Ensure all system pressure is absent before repairing or removing valves. Do not stand in front of a valve outlet when discharging. STAND CLEAR OF VALVE to avoid exposure to trapped, corrosive media. Exercise extreme caution when inspecting a pressure relief valve for leakage. Allow the system to cool to room temperature before cleaning, servicing, or repairing. Hot components or fluids can cause severe personal injury or death. Always read and comply with safety labels on all containers. Do not remove or deface container labels. Improper handling or misuse could result in severe personal injury or death. Never use pressurized fluids/gas/air to clean clothing or body parts. Never use body parts to check for leaks, flow rates, or areas. Pressurized fluids/gas/air injected into or near the body can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not work or allow anyone under the influence of intoxicants or narcotics to work on or around pressurized systems. Workers under the influence of intoxicants or narcotics are a hazard to themselves and other employees. Actions taken by an intoxicated employee can result in severe personal injury or death to themselves or others. Always perform correct service and repair. Incorrect service and repair can result in product or property damage or severe personal injury or death. Always use the correct tool for a job. The misuse of a tool or the use of an improper tool can result in personal injury, damage to product or property. Ensure the proper health physics procedures are followed, if applicable, before starting operation in a radioactive environment. Caution Alerts A CAUTION alert describes actions that may result in a personal injury. In addition, they may describe preventive measures that must be taken to avoid personal injury. Cautions include: Heed all service manual warnings. Read installation instructions before installing valve(s). Wear hearing protection when testing or operating valves. Wear appropriate eye and clothing protection. Wear protective breathing apparatus to protect against toxic materials. It is the owner s responsibility to specify and provide personal protective wear to protect persons from pressurized or heated parts. Contact with pressurized or heated parts can result in severe personal injury or death. 6 GE Oil & Gas 2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

9 III. Safety Notice Proper installation and start-up is essential to the safe and reliable operation of all valve products. The relevant procedures recommended by GE, and described in these instructions, are effective methods of performing the required tasks. Wear necessary personal protective equipment to prevent possible injury It is important to note that these instructions contain various safety messages which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury, or the possibility that improper procedures will be followed which may damage the involved GE product, or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that these safety messages are not exhaustive. GE cannot possibly know, evaluate, and advise any customer of all of the conceivable ways in which tasks might be performed, or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, GE has not undertaken any such broad evaluation and, thus, anyone who uses a procedure and/or tool, which is not recommended by GE, or deviates from GE recommendations, must be thoroughly satisfied that neither personal safety, nor valve safety, will be jeopardized by the method and/or tools selected. Contact GE at (318) if there are any questions relative to tools/ methods. The installation and start-up of valves and/or valve products may involve proximity to fluids at extremely high pressure and/or temperature. Consequently, every precaution should be taken to prevent injury to personnel during the performance of any procedure. These precautions should consist of, but are not limited to, ear drum protection, eye protection, and the use of protective clothing, (i.e., gloves, etc.) when personnel are in, or around, a valve work area. Due to the various circumstances and conditions in which these operations may be performed on GE products, and the possible hazardous consequences of each way, GE cannot possibly evaluate all conditions that might injure personnel or equipment. Nevertheless, GE does offer certain Safety Alerts, listed in Section II, for customer information only. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or user of Consolidated valves/ equipment to adequately train all personnel who will be working with the involved valves/equipment.

S E A L E D V. Terminology for Safety Relief Valves (SRV) 1. Accumulation The pressure increase over the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel during discharge through the SRV, expressed as a percentage of that pressure or in actual pressure units. 2. Backpressure The pressure on the discharge side of the SRV: a. Built-up Backpressure - the pressure that develops at the valve outlet, after the SRV has been opened, as a result of flow. b. Superimposed Backpressure - the pressure in the discharge header before the SRV is opened. 3. Constant Backpressure The superimposed backpressure that is constant with time. 4. Variable Backpressure The superimposed backpressure that varies with time. 5. Blowdown The difference between set pressure and re-seating pressure of the SRV, expressed as a percentage of the set pressure or in actual pressure units. 6. Cold Differential Set Pressure The pressure at which the valve is adjusted to open on the test stand. This pressure includes the corrections for backpressure and/or temperature service conditions. Differential Between Operating and Set Pressures Valves- in installed process services will generally give best results if the operating pressure does not exceed 90 percent of the set pressure. However, on pump and compressor discharge lines, the differential required between the operating and set pressures may be greater because of pressure pulsations coming from a reciprocating piston. The valve should be set as far above the operating pressure as possible. 7. Lift The actual travel of the disc away from the closed position when a valve is relieving. Removal and/or breakage of seal will negate our warranty. 8. Maximum Allowable Working Pressure - The maximum gauge pressure permissible in a vessel at a designated temperature. A vessel may not be operated above this pressure, or its equivalent, at any metal temperature other than that used in its design. Consequently, for that metal 8 GE Oil & Gas 2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

11 V. Terminology for Safety Relief Valves (Contd.) temperature, it is the highest pressure at which the primary pressure SRV is set to open. 9. Operating Pressure The gauge pressure to which the vessel is normally subjected in service. A suitable margin is provided between operating pressure and maximum allowable working pressure. For assured safe operation, the operating pressure should be at least 10 percent under the maximum allowable working pressure or 5 psi (.34 bar), whichever is greater. 10. Overpressure A pressure increase over the set pressure of the primary relieving device. Overpressure is similar to accumulation when the relieving device is set at the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel. Normally, overpressure is expressed as a percentage of set pressure. 11. Rated Capacity The percentage of measured flow at an authorized percent overpressure permitted by the applicable code. Rated capacity is generally expressed in pounds per hour (lb/hr) for vapors, standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) or m 3 /min for gases, and in gallons per minute (GPM) for liquids. 12. Relief Valve 13. Safety Relief Valve (SRV) An automatic pressure-relieving device used as either a safety or relief valve, depending upon application. The SRV is used to protect personnel and equipment by preventing excessive overpressure. 14. Safety Valve An automatic pressure-relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve, and characterized by a rapid opening or pop action. It is used for steam, gas, or vapor service. 15. Set Pressure The gauge pressure at the valve inlet for which the relief valve has been adjusted to open under service conditions. In liquid service, the inlet pressure at which the valve starts to discharge determines set pressure. In gas or vapor service, the inlet pressure at which the valve pops determines the set pressure. 16. Simmer The audible passage of a gas or vapor across the seating surfaces just before pop. The difference between this start-toopen pressure and the set pressure is called simmer. Simmer is generally expressed as a percentage of set pressure. An automatic pressure-relieving device, actuated by static pressure upstream from the valve. A relief valve is used primarily for liquid service. VI. Handling, Storage Handling Valves should not be shipped with the inlet flange down. These valves should be kept in their factory foam-filled carton until installation. ATTENTION!! Never lift the valve by the lifting lever. ATTENTION!! Handle carefully. Do not drop or strike the valve. Do not subject SRVs, either crated or uncrated, to sharp impact. Ensure that the valve is not bumped or dropped during loading or unloading from a truck. While hoisting the valve, take care to prevent bumping the valve against steel structures and other objects. ATTENTION!! Prevent dust and debris from entering inlet or outlet of the valve. Storage Store SRVs in a dry environment and protect them from the weather. Do not remove the valve from the skids or crates until immediately before installation. Do not remove flange protectors and seating plugs until the valve is ready to be bolted into place during the installation. Screwed/portable valves should be kept in their factory foamfilled carton until installation to avoid damage to external inlet threads General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Consolidated Series Safety Valve Maintenance Manual 9

12 VII. Pre-Installation and Installation Instructions When SRVs are uncrated and the flange protectors or sealing plugs are removed, exercise meticulous care to prevent dirt and other foreign materials from entering the inlet and outlet ports while bolting the valve in place. VIII. Design Features and Nomenclature A. General Information The Consolidated Series Portable Safety Relief Valve has 316 stainless steel trim as standard material. Reliable performance and easy maintenance procedures are characteristics of this valve, when properly installed in suitable applications for its design. The Consolidated Series SRV has three pressure classes 19000L psig ( barg), 19000M psig ( barg) and 19000H 2001 psig ( barg) and up. Standard Consolidated Series parts are used for both liquid applications and gas applications. It is designed for short blowdown on all types of media, typically less than 10 percent. All Consolidated Series safety relief valves have fixed blowdown. This means that the parts are designed so that there is no blowdown adjustment required when setting or testing the valve. B. Design Options B.1 Consolidated Series MS & DA Safety Relief Valves O-Ring Seat Seal Valves All Consolidated Series Valves are available with an O-ring seat seal as a design option. This optional design is bubble tight at 97 percent of set pressures over 100 psig (6.89 barg), in order to meet application requirements beyond the normal capabilities of metal to metal seat valves. Consolidated Series valves with the O-ring seat seal option are identified by the suffix DA. (See Table 14.) Lifting Levers, Caps and Gags All Consolidated Series Valves are designed so that field conversion from the standard screwed cap to a plain lifting lever cap, or to a packed lifting lever cap (or vice versa), does not require valve disassembly or resetting. The lifting lever option is designed to open the valve at 75 percent of the valve set pressure, in compliance with ASME Code Section VIII. Further, all available Consolidated Series Valve caps may be equipped with a gag upon customer request. Inlet/Outlet Connections All Consolidated Series can be provided by GE Consolidated with flanged, or socket weld inlet and outlet connections, upon customer request. B M-DA-BP Safety Relief Valves (See Figure 6) In this design, the bonnet and the spindle are different there are two added parts and two additional O-rings. The bonnet is a two-piece design rather than a one-piece. The top of the bonnet (7) is the male piece and it screws into the female bottom bonnet (8). The bottom bonnet has a machined shelf in the top on which a metal backup plate (39) seats via an O-ring (40), part number 310XX030. (The XX in the part number designates the material and durometer of the O-ring.) The spindle (9) is modified to have a larger diameter in the lower section to accommodate a 310XX011 O-ring (40), which slides through the inside diameter of the backup plate (39), providing an area nearly equal to the area of the base which balances the effects of the back pressure. C. Nomenclature Applicable valve nomenclature for Types Consolidated Series Male and Female inlet configurations are illustrated in Figures 1 through 6. Relevant parts nomenclature for optional lifting levers, caps and the gag, as applicable, are provided in Figures 1 through GE Oil & Gas 2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

13 IX. Introduction A MS & DA Safety Relief Valves Consolidated Series Portable Pressure Relief Valves are designed to meet ASME Section VIII requirements for fixed blowdown pressure relief valves and liquid relief valves. They may be used for various media such as air, liquids, process steam and hydrocarbons and may serve as either a safety valve or a relief valve, depending upon the application. B M-DA-BP Safety Relief Valves The back pressure version is only available in the.096" (2.44 mm) orifice with an O-ring seat. It is available for steam, liquid or gas applications and may be furnished with a plain or screwed cap. The 19096M-DA-BP variation is furnished as a 19096M designation with a pressure range of psig ( barg). The standard medium pressure valve is limited to a minimum of 290 psig (19.99 barg) in the standard design. The designation will be used since most of the parts are from the 19096M bill of material. Table 1: Performance Criteria for the 19096M-DA-BP Valve Typical blowdown as a percent of set pressure (At the low end of the spring range with the maximum allowed back pressure applied, the blowdown is shortest.) Liquid: 6 percent 20 percent Gas: 3 percent 16 percent Liquid: 70 percent of set pressure Allowable total back pressure (This is the sum of the variable and constant back pressure, superimposed and built-up.) Note: Thermal relief applications may be supplied with back pressures up to 90 percent of set pressure. Gas: 50 percent of set pressure Note: Total back pressure for liquid or gas shall not exceed 400 psig (27.58 barg). Temperature limits (Determined by O-ring material selection) Minimum: -20 F (-28 C) Maximum: 600 F (315 C) Set pressure of 50 psig (3.45 barg): 92 percent Seat tightness 51 psig (3.52 barg) 100 psig (6.8 barg): 94 percent 101 psig (6.9 barg) Maximum Rating: 95 percent Note: Refer to this Table for the performance criteria of this valve.

18 XI. Recommended Installation Practices A. Mounting Position Mount SRVs in a vertical (upright) position (in accordance with API RP 530). Installing a safety relief valve in any position other than vertical (±1 degree) will adversely affect its operation as a result of the induced misalignment of moving parts. A stop valve may be placed between the pressure vessel and its relief valve only as permitted by code regulations. If a stop valve is located between the pressure vessel and SRV, the stop valve port area should equal or exceed the nominal internal area associated with the pipe size of the SRV inlet. The pressure drop from the vessel to the SRV shall not exceed three (3) percent of the valve s set pressure, when flowing at full capacity. Mount safety relief valves in a vertical, upright position only. The threaded inlet and outlet ports and sealing faces of the valve and all connecting piping must be free from dirt, sediment and scale. In the case of screwed/portable valves, use caution to avoid unscrewing bonnet from the base; if a pipe wrench is used to install or remove the base, ensure that the wrench is placed on the flats of the base and not on the bonnet. If the bonnet/ base joint is broken, the valve should be retested to ensure proper set pressure and function of the valve. Position SRVs for easy access and/or removal so that servicing can be properly performed. Ensure sufficient working space is provided around and above the valve. B. Inlet Piping The inlet piping (see Figure 7) to the valve should be short and directly from the vessel or equipment being protected. The radius of the connection to the vessel should permit smooth flow to the valve. Avoid sharp corners. If this is not practical, then the inlet should be at least one additional pipe diameter larger. Do not mount valve at the end of pipe through which there is normally no flow or near elbows, tees, bends, etc. The pressure drop from the vessel to the valve shall not exceed three (3) percent of valve set pressure when the valve is allowing full capacity flow. The inlet piping should never be smaller in diameter than the inlet connection of the valve. Excessive pressure drop in gas, vapor, or flashing-liquid service at the inlet of the SRV will cause the extremely rapid opening and closing of the valve, which is known as chattering. Chattering will result in lowered capacity and damage to the seating surfaces. The most desirable installation is that in which the nominal size of the inlet piping is the same as, or greater than, the nominal size of the valve inlet flange and in which the length does not exceed the face-to-face dimensions of a standard tee of the required pressure class. Do not locate SRV inlets where excessive turbulence is present, such as near elbows, tees, bends, orifice plates or throttling valves. Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requires the inlet connection design to consider stress conditions during valve operation, caused by external loading, vibration, and loads due to thermal expansion of the discharge piping. The determination of reaction forces during valve discharge is the responsibility of the vessel and/or piping designer. GE publishes certain technical information about reaction forces under various fluid flow conditions, but assumes no liability for the calculations and design of the inlet piping. Heed all service manual warnings. Read installation instructions before installing valve(s). External loading, by poorly designed discharge piping and support systems, and forced alignment of discharge piping can cause excessive stresses and distortions in the valve as well as the inlet piping. The stresses in the valve may cause a malfunction or leak. Therefore, 16 GE Oil & Gas 2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

19 XI. Recommended Installation Practices (Contd.) The pressure drop (P.D.) between the source of pressure in the protected equipment and the pressure relief valve inlet is not to exceed 3 percent of the valve set pressure. Figure 7: Pressure Drop on the Inlet Piping discharge piping must be independently supported and carefully aligned. Vibrations in the inlet piping systems may cause valve seat leakage and/or fatigue failure. These vibrations may cause the disc seat to slide back and forth across the base seat and may result in damage to the seating surfaces. Also, vibration may cause separation of the seating surfaces and premature wear to valve parts. High-frequency vibrations are more detrimental to SRV tightness than low-frequency vibrations. This effect can be minimized by providing a larger difference between the operating pressure of the system and the set pressure of the valve, particularly under high frequency conditions. Temperature changes in the discharge piping may be caused by fluid flow in from the discharge of the valve or by prolonged exposure to the sun or heat radiated from nearby equipment. A change in the discharge piping temperature will cause a change in the length of the piping, which may cause stresses to be transmitted to the SRV and its inlet piping. Proper support, anchoring or provision for flexibility of the discharge piping can prevent stresses caused by thermal changes. Do not use fixed supports. unsupported discharge piping consisting of more than a companion flange long-radius elbow, and a short vertical pipe is not recommended. Use spring supports to connect outlet piping to prevent thermal expansion from creating strains on the valve. The discharge piping should be designed to allow for vessel expansion as well as expansion of the discharge pipe itself. This is particularly important on long distance lines. A continual oscillation of the discharge piping (wind loads) may induce stress distortion in the valve body. The resultant movement of the valve s internal parts may cause leakage. Where possible, use properly supported drainage piping to prevent the collection of water or corrosive liquid in the valve body. Cap may be required for weather protection Long-Radius Elbow WRONG C. Outlet Piping Alignment of the internal parts of the SRV is important to ensure proper operation (see Figure 8). Although the valve body will withstand a considerable mechanical load, Vessel Vessel For a closed system, always keep piping strains isolated from the Pressure Relief Valve, regardless of process operation and temperature.

20 XI. Recommended Installation Practices (Contd.) When two or more valves are piped to discharge into a common header, the built-up backpressure resulting from the opening of one (or more) valve(s) may cause a superimposed backpressure in the remaining valves. Under these conditions, the use of the DA-BP model is recommended. In every case, the nominal discharge pipe size should be at least as large as the nominal size of the SRV outlet flange. In the case of long discharge piping, the nominal discharge pipe size must sometimes be much larger. As a final point, the discharge piping size is never less than the size of the valve outlet, nor heavier than schedule 40 pipe size. In addition, the discharge piping must be designed to limit the total backpressure to a maximum of 10 percent of the valve set pressure, or 400 psig (27.58 barg), whichever is smaller. ATTENTION!! Wear necessary protective equipment to prevent possible injury Undersized discharge piping could create built-up backpressure. XII. Disassembly of Series SRV A. General Information Consolidated SRVs can be easily disassembled for inspection, the reconditioning of seats or the replacement of internal parts. Appropriate set pressure can be established after reassembly. (See Figures 1 through 6 for parts nomenclature.) Notes: Before starting to disassemble the valve, be sure there is no material pressure in the vessel. Many pressure vessels that are protected by Consolidated safety relief valves contain dangerous materials. Before disassembling the valve, ensure there is no media pressure in the vessel. Decontaminate and clean the valve inlet and outlet and all external surfaces in accordance with the cleaning and decontaminating recommendations in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet. Parts from one valve should not be interchanged with parts from another valve. ATTENTION!! Do not interchange parts from one valve with parts from another valve. Many pressure vessels protected by Consolidated safety relief valves contain dangerous materials. Decontaminate and clean the valve inlet, outlet, and all external surfaces in accordance with the cleaning and decontaminating recommendations in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet. Valve caps and bonnets can trap fluids. Use caution when removing to prevent injury or environmental damage. 18 GE Oil & Gas 2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

22 XIII. Maintenance A. Metal Seat Valves (MS) A1. Precautions and Hints for Lapping Seats Reconditioning of the seat surface may be accomplished by lapping with a flat cast iron ring lap coated with a 1000 grit lapping compound or its equivalent (see Table 17). A cast iron lap, coated with a lapping compound, is used for reconditioning the seating surfaces of the base (1) and disc (2). The following will enable maintenance personnel to do a professional job of lapping seats: 1. Keep work materials clean. 2. Always use a fresh lap. If signs of wearing (out of flatness) are evident, recondition the lap. Reconditioning of laps is accomplished by lapping them on a flat lapping plate. The lapping should be done with a figure-eight motion as indicated in Figure 9. To assure the best results when lapping seats, the laps should be reconditioned after each usage. 3. Apply a very thin layer of compound to the lap. This will prevent rounding off the edges of the seat. 4. Keep the lap squarely on the flat surface and avoid any tendency to rock the lap which causes rounding of the seat. 5. When lapping, keep a firm grip on the part to prevent the possibility of dropping it and damaging the seat. 6. Lap, using an eccentric, or figure-eight motion, in all directions, while at the same time, applying uniform pressure and rotating the lap slowly (see Figure 9). 7. Replace the compound frequently after wiping off the old compound, and apply more pressure to speed the cutting action of the compound. 8. To check the seating surfaces, remove all compounds from both the seat and the lap. Then, shine the seat with the same lap using the lapping motion described above. Low sections on the seating surface will show up as a shadow in contrast to the shiny portion. If shadows are present, further lapping is necessary and only laps known to be flat should now be used. Only a few minutes will be required to remove the shadows. 9. When the lapping is completed, any lines appearing as cross scratches can be removed by rotating the lap (which has been wiped clean of compounds) on the seat about its own axis. 10. The seat should now be thoroughly cleaned using a lintfree cloth and a cleansing fluid. 2. Lapping the Base Seat For -1 Material Seat Design The base seat may be reconditioned using the lapping procedure; however, the dimensions provided in Table 2, should be used to determine the seat width. Table 2: Base Lapping Width (-1 Metal Seat Design Only) SET PRESSURE psig barg SEAT WIDTH min. max. min. max. in. mm UP UP Note 1 Note 1: Add.005 (0.127 mm) per 100 psig (6.896 barg), not to exceed.070 (1.78 mm). The seat width can be measured by the use of a Measuring Magnifier (see Figure 10a). GE recommends the use of Model S (Bausch and Lomb Optical Co.) or an equivalent. This is a seven power glass with a.750" (19.05 mm) scale showing graduations of.005" (0.13 mm). The use of this scale in measuring the seat width is shown in Figure 10b.

23 XIII. Maintenance (Contd.) A3. Machining the Base Seat Nozzle Width When the base seat cannot be repaired by lapping, it can be machined as shown in Figure 11, using the dimensions provided in Tables 3 to GE recommends that the following procedure be adhered to when machining the base seat: Flat Seat 5 Taper Figure 10b: Measuring Magnifier Detail For -2 Metal Seat Design The -2 metal seat design is a flat seat design. The base seat may be lapped or machined if necessary to verify that the seat ("N" of Figure 11) is free from indentions, scratches, high spots, etc. If additional lighting is required for verifying the seat, GE suggests a goose-neck flashlight similar to the Type A Lamp Assembly Flashlight (Standard Molding Corporation, Dayton, Ohio) or an equivalent. a. Using a four-jaw chuck, align the base so that surfaces marked X and U run true within.001 (0.03 mm) on an indicator. b. Take light cuts on the seat surface until all damage is removed. Reestablish dimensions B, C, F, G, H and Angle I. When L (minimum) is obtained, the base should be replaced. c. After all machining has been accomplished, lap the seat using same procedure for base seat. ATTENTION!! 19000H and DA bases have flat seats (90 angle) across the entire seating surface from B diameter to D diameter.
