Installation AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL



These instructions must be carefully read before any work involving products supplied by VALSTEAM ADCA

ENGINEERING S.A. is undertaken.



The installation procedure is a critical stage in a life of a valve and care should be taken to avoid damage to the

valve or equipment.



They give their maximum performance only when the equipment associated with them is correctly sized and

installed in accordance with our recommendations.



M3HP three pieces body ball valves are isolating valves designed for use on clean steam, condensate and

other gases and liquids used in high purity and aseptic processes. The valve is not designed as a control valve

and should be used only as an isolating valve, fully open or fully closed.



The product was mainly designed for the pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, cosmetics, fine chemical,

food and beverage industries.

Note:



Current regional safety regulations should be take in to account and followed, while doing the installation and

Maintenance work.



Handling, installation and maintenance work must be carried out by trained personnel. A supervisor must follow

and check all activities.



For the problems that cannot be solve with the help of this instructions, please contact the supplier or the

manufacturer.



The manufacturer reserves the right to change the design and material of this product without notice.

CE Marking: This product has been designed for use on water, clean steam and other liquids or gases which are in

Group 1 and 2 of the PED-European Pressure Equipment Directive

requirements.

If malfunction of any other equipment or system operation failure may result in a dangerous overpressure, over

temperature or even vacuum condition, a safety device must be included in the system to prevent such

situations.

At start up, the presence of small particles in the fluid (dirt, scale, weld splatters, etc) may cause an imperfect

closure of the seat. If this occurs, proceed to an accurate cleaning.

Do not touch the equipment without appropriate protection during working operation because it may conduct

heat if the used fluid is at high temperature.

Before starting maintenance be sure that the equipment is not pressurized or hot.

Page 1  M3HP three pieces body ball valves are isolating valves designed for use on clean steam, condensate and other gases and liquids used in high purity and aseptic processes. The valve is not designed as a control valve and should be used only as an isolating valve, fully open or fully closed.
Page 2 Valve mountings such as actuators, handwheels, hoods must not be used with other purpose than the one they were built for (e.g. climbing aids or as connecting points for lifting gear) For the problems that cannot be solve with the help of this instructions, please contact the supplier or the manufacturer.

Page 3 In case of clamps connections do not over-tighten them because that can damage the gasket.  The M3HP with tube weld connections don't need to be disassembled prior to welding procedure, nevertheless sometimes disassemble it can became more practical for the welder due to weight, especially in bigger valves.
Page 4 2. Turn the lever slowly to open the stop valve and prevent hammering effects or sudden pressure increase on downstream equipments and pipeline. M3HP ball valves are 1/4 turn open/close valves. When the lever is in line with the pipeline the valve is open, when is perpendicular it's closed.
Page 5 10. With the ball in close position, tighten the bolts evenly in a diagonal pattern. Before the final tightening, align the valve by rotating the complete set into the desired position; 11. Consider the startup conditions; ADCA VALSTEAM IMI M3HP.10 E 03.15...
Page 6 Check, with the valve closed, if there's flow at the Damaged ball surfaces valve outlet. If yes, than disassemble the valve body and check for damages in the seats and ball surfaces. Replace for new ones if necessary. ADCA VALSTEAM IMI M3HP.10 E 03.15...
