Z500 Valve
February 2014
d. Customer shall ensure valve stem has not been pushed or forced down into the valve
e. Customer shall ensure no binding occurs when mounting the actuator
i. Customer shall ensure the correct alignment is done when mounting the actuator
ii. No hammering or forcing down of the stem adaptor is allowed
f. Customer shall ensure all bolts are torqued down appropriately
g. Customer shall ensure the actuator mounting surface is completely flush with the mounting bracket. For
additional information on actuator mounting, refer to the Actuator Mounting section in this instruction manual
on page 13.
h. Customer shall ensure the mounting can allow for or can accommodate expansion of the stem or adaptor at high
temperatures. See table 5.
When a valve is shipped with actuator:
a. Valve will be shipped in the required fail position
b. All bolting will be torqued as required
c. Emerson recommends that the customer not remove the actuator for final installation in the line
1. Inspect the valve prior to installation into the piping system to ensure there is no shipping damage. End protectors
and shipping materials must be removed to allow a complete inspection.
2. Inspect the actuator, if included, for damage and then cycle the valve with the actuator from open (the normal
shipping position) to closed to open to ensure proper functioning. This operation should be smooth.
CAUTION
Make sure the valve is installed in the correct orientation. Put the high pressure side (body side) on the upstream side. The
arrow on the valve should point from the high pressure to low pressure side when the valve is closed. The valve could be
damaged if installed incorrectly.
Weld End Valves
WARNING
Emerson Process Management is not responsible for improper installation or inspection of any valve which falls outside the
criteria presented in this instruction manual. Requests for additional information on unique situations should be directed
to your Emerson Process Management sales office.
CAUTION
Weld fill between the valve and pipe should never be used to correct for improper pipe installation length or misalignment.
Additional welding beyond what is required may cause the valve to reach higher temperatures and have a larger
heat-affected zone, which can cause permanent damage to the valve or its components.
For additional information, refer to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IX.
