3. On smaller two-piece trunnion and non-trunnion mounted valves coil springs are not used. 4. When coil springs are not used, the wave spring is then replaced with a Belleville spring. * Quantity may change depending on valve size.

E N G I N E E R E D & P R O C E S S V A L V E S NAMEPLATE INFORMATION TK can provide either a non-monogram or monogram API-6D, API-6A, and/or a CE tag. All tags are securely placed onto the valve and will have the information below stamped in each section.
Valves left in storage for periods greater that three (3) years should be hydrostatically tested prior to installation. Valves left in storage for periods greater than six (6) years should be disassembled, cleaned and inspected for damage. All elastomeric seals should be replaced at that time. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 01/2011 / IOM-TK-TMBV-01...
INSTALLATION Certified lifting devices that are rated for the valve weight should be used when lifting any TK Valves. For valve sizes 1.5” up to 4”, 6” class 150 thru 900, and 8” class 150 thru 300 the lifting points should be around the valve neck on either side.
E N G I N E E R E D & P R O C E S S V A L V E S HYDROSTATIC TESTING All TK Valves are tested per API-6D or API-6A test requirements. Each valve is tested to a factory closure test at 100% of maximum operating pressure. Valves should not be used as closures for systems where the operating pressure exceeds these figures.
There should not be more than 1/16” of the ball radius exposed into the flow bore once the final setting has been made. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 01/2011 / IOM-TK-TMBV-01...

E N G I N E E R E D & P R O C E S S V A L V E S ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Lubrication of TK Valves is not necessary for all applications, and is not a requirement for the valve to seal pressure. In certain applications however, as in dry gas for example, lubrication twice yearly is recommended.
TK Valves are generally designed with auxiliary sealant fittings that are used to inject sealant directly to the ball sealing area. This is sometimes necessary in preventing damage to the seats by flushing debris away from the seats and in the event of a damaged seat caused by debris in the line.
Collect and retain seat springs. Two-Piece Trunnion Supported Remove bonnet and stem from valve. Remove trunnion flange. It is not necessary to separate the trunnion from the flange. Remove adapter. Remove ball from body cavity. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 01/2011 / IOM-TK-TMBV-01...

Stem and ball bushings, washers, and disc should be replaced if damaged or worn. O-rings should be replaced if broken, nicked, frayed, stretched, or swollen. If O-rings are dam- aged due to incompatible service conditions, consult with the nearest representative or the factory. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 01/2011 / IOM-TK-TMBV-01...
Ensure the ball is aligned with the stem bore and insert the stem. At this time the trunnion can be completely installed. Install the bonnet onto the body. Install the closure onto the body. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 01/2011 / IOM-TK-TMBV-01...

On lever operated valves, make sure of correct location of the stop socket head cap screw. Tighten all bolting on the assembled valve. Reinstall operator onto the valve. See “Mounting Gear Box and Actuator” in installation instructions. If available retest the valve to the appropriate specifications.

Inject seat sealant for temporary seal or replace Damaged seat face or seat O-ring seats Valve not fully closed Check that operator or limit-switches do not stop the rotation of ball prior to reaching the fully closed position.
