Gather, verify, and confirm all components required for each assembly to ensure accuracy and completeness
Perform all required pre-assembly tasks, including controls, control panels, and painting where applicable
Assemble valve and actuator packages according to customer specifications, installation instructions, and technical documentation
Ensure proper valve and actuator orientation:
For fail-closed assemblies, ensure the valve stem key slot is positioned 90 degrees to the valve bore when closed
For fail-open assemblies, ensure the valve stem key slot faces the valve bore when open
Adjust integral mechanical travel stops on actuators to ensure full open-to-close or close-to-open travel
Verify that the valve and actuator are in matching positions (open or closed) prior to completing final installation

Ensure all final assembly documentation is complete and included, such as function test reports, control documentation, Material Test Reports (MTRs), and Certificates of Conformance (COCs)
Ensure all assemblies and control components are properly tagged and identified
