ABSTRACT:
A method for adjusting sealing engagement of a valve seat includes providing a valve with a disk in a flow passageway and a valve seal with a seat positioned for sealing engagement with the disk, the valve body and seal together defining a channel having a seal surface lubricated to resist adhesion of the surface and polymeric material, the valve body defining a passage for external access to the channel; injecting liquid polymeric material through the passage into the channel, the polymeric material in the channel pressuring the valve seat toward sealing engagement with the disk; allowing the polymeric material to harden; producing a tunnel through the hardened polymeric material from an external port to the lubricated surface of the seal; and injecting liquid polymeric material under pressure through the tunnel into the channel and causing the liquid polymeric material to flow along the lubricated surface of the seal to collect in selected regions to improve sealing engagement of the seat with the disk.
