Belimo SHP Series Installation Recommendations

Valve Design
1. The SHP Series High Performance Butterfly Valve features a double
offset (or, double eccentric) shaft design to minimize seat abrasion
and lower torque. This double offset design allows the disc to lift
off and "cam" away from the seat as it rotates open.
2. The SHP valve always rotates clockwise to close (when viewed from
above) and counterclockwise to open.
3. The valve body has an Overtravel Stop which prevents
the disc from over rotating into the wrong quadrant. This stop is
not to be used as a disc position stop; if the disc contacts the
Overtravel Stop, this means it has rotated beyond the seat.
4. The SHP valve is bidirectional, but the preferred installation position
is with the seat in the upstream position (SUS). Note the arrow on
the metal tag attached to the valve body.
Safety Precautions
1. Be sure the line is depressurized and drained.
2. Be sure of the pipeline media. Proper care should be taken for
protection against toxic and/or flammable fluids.
3. Never install the valve without an Operator (Manual or Automatic)
already attached to the valve shaft.
4. Never remove the Operator from the valve while the valve is in the
pipeline under pressure.
5. Always be sure that the disc is in the full-closed position before
installing the valve.
6. Take care in handling the valve; if you treat it like a machine, it will
operate like a machine...if you treat it like a piece of pipe, it may
work like a piece of pipe.
Flange Compatibility
The SHP valve is designed to fit between flanges as follows:
ANSI Class 150
MSS SP-44 Class 150
ANSI B16.47 Class 150 A Flanges
ANSI Class 300
MSS SP-44 Class 300
ANSI B16.47 Class 200 A Flanges
Gasket Compatibility
The SHP valve is designed to accommodate the use of standard fiber
gaskets (such as non-asbestos, flexible graphite, asbestos or
equivalent gasket materials) of 1/16" or less, meeting the dimensional
requirements of ANSI B16.21-1978. Thick elastomeric gaskets are not
recommended. Metallic wound (Flexitallic) gaskets may also be used.

Pipe Schedule Compatibility
The SHP valve is designed to allow the disc edge to rotate into the
open position without interference with the pipeline I.D. in the
following pipe schedules:
SIZE
2" - 12"
14" - 24"
30"
36" - 42"
48"
Product Identification
1. Every SHP valve has a metal identification tag attached to the valve
body. Information includes the Figure Number, the Size and
Pressure Class, the Materials of Construction, and the Operating
Pressures and Temperatures.
2. Every SHP valve is hydrostatically tested before it is shipped. The
metal tag also includes a Serial Number; this number, unique for
each valve, is recorded by the Belimo Quality Control Department
along with the test results and material certification data, for
individual traceability and verification of every valve produced.
UNPACKING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the packing list against the valve received to verify that the
2" to 24"
quantities, sizes and materials are correct.
30" to 48"
2. Check to make sure that the valve and operator were not damaged
during shipment.
2" to 24"
3. If the valve is to be stored before being installed, it should be
30" protected from harsh environmental conditions.
4. Store the valve with the disc in the closed position to protect the
sealing edge and the seat.
5. Keep the valve in a clean location, away from dirt, debris and
corrosive materials.
6. Keep the valve in a dry area with the flange protectors attached.
7. Keep the valve in a cool location if possible, out of direct sunlight.
8. If not in use, exercise the butterfly valve (full open and close) at
least once a month.
