Installation

WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install the valve
assembly where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or on the appropriate nameplates. Use
pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
CAUTION
Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve materials with process media rests solely with the
purchaser and end‐user. The valve configuration and construction materials meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions specified in the customer's order. Because some body/trim material
combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature range capabilities (especially due to differences in
thermal expansion rates), do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your
or Local Business Partner.
CAUTION
If hoisting the valve, use a nylon sling to protect the painted surfaces. Carefully position the sling to prevent damage to the
tubing or any accessories. Use adequately sized hoists and chains or slings to handle the valve and take precautions to
prevent personnel from being injured in case the hoist or rigging slips unexpectedly. Refer to table 6 for valve assembly
weights.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however some
readjustment will be required to meet specific service conditions. Check with your process or safety engineer for any
additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect it to ensure that the valve body cavity is free of foreign material.
2. Clean out all pipelines to remove scale, welding slag, and other foreign materials before installing the valve.
Note
If the valve being installed has small internal flow passages, such as with Whisper Trim III or Cavitrol III cages, consideration should
be given to installing an upstream strainer to prevent the lodging of particles in these passages. This is especially important if the
pipeline cannot be thoroughly cleaned or if the flowing medium is not clean.
