Instruction Manual
D103373X012
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Depending on the actuator construction, it will be necessary to manage the pneumatic actuator spring
pre-compression. It is essential to refer to the relevant actuator instructions in this manual to perform safe removal of
the actuator from the valve.
D Use lock-out procedures to be sure the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, install a new gasket during reassembly. This provides a
good gasket seal because the used gasket may not seal properly.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage by thoroughly cleaning the line of all dirt, welding chips, scale, oil or grease, and
other foreign material. Failure to do so could result in damage to the seating and sealing surfaces of the valve and result in
release of process materials.
Installation and Maintenance
1. Before installing the valve in the pipeline, thoroughly clean the line of all dirt, welding chips, scale, oil or grease, and
other foreign material. A micron size filter is recommended upstream of the valve.
2. Install the valve so the controlled fluid will flow through the valve body in the direction indicated by the arrow on
the valve body.
3. A three-valve bypass must be used to permit removal of the control valve from the line without shutting down the
system.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to do any work on a valve while the system is in operation,
the valve must be isolated 100% from the active system and the isolated line voided of pressure and/or hazardous fluids.
Air Piping
Refer to figure 2.
1. For an air-to-extend actuator (air-to-close action), connect the actuating air pressure line to the 1/4 NPT opening in
the upper diaphragm case. For an air-to-retract actuator (air-to-open action) connect the actuating air pressure line
to the 1/4 NPT in the lower diaphragm case.
