This paper identifies RH equipment for the ITER Torus vacuum pumping system. The main scenarios studied are: regeneration/isolation valve body and seal/moving parts replacement and cryogenic valve replacement. The valve seal/mechanism will require the most frequent maintenance. RH schemes are therefore based on the rapid exchange of the seal and contamination control considerations, without removing the valve body.
