🔌 Function

Locks or retains a component in its assembled position, so it cannot move, turn or work loose in service.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• The circuit will not hold pressure — it bleeds back or drops away as soon as the engine stops
• Hard starting or loss of prime, or air found in a system that should stay sealed
• Weeping or seepage past a valve that should be shut tight
• A ball found flattened, pitted or corroded, or its seat marked with a ring where it has been hammering

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the ball whenever the valve or seat it works in is dismantled — a ball that has bedded into one seat will not seal in another
• Work spotlessly clean and handle it with clean hands or a magnet; grit carried in on a ball goes straight into the fuel or hydraulic circuit
• Inspect the seat for pitting, a wear ring or damage before fitting, because a marked seat will leak with any new ball
• Seat the ball with a soft drift and light taps only where the workshop manual for your engine actually calls for it to be seated, and never drive it in harder than the manual says
• Check the spring, guide or retainer that works with the ball is present, undamaged and fitted in the right order, then check the valve holds before returning the system to service
