Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance operations:
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure.
D Do not remove the actuator while the valve is pressurized.
D Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring pre‐compression.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.
D Many valve parts that are moving can injure you by pinching, cutting, or shearing. To help prevent such injury, stay
clear of any moving part.
D Never apply pressure to a partially assembled valve.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of a valve bonnet, loosen the bonnet by
following these instructions: Do not remove a stuck bonnet by pulling on it with equipment that can stretch or store
energy in any other manner. The sudden release of stored energy can cause uncontrolled movement of the bonnet.
Loosen bonnet nuts approximately 3 mm (0.125 inch). Then loosen the body‐to‐bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking
the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens.
If no fluid leaks from the joint, proceed with bonnet removal.
D As you remove parts, such as valve shafts, other parts, such as disks can fall from the valve body or suddenly move to
another position in the valve. To avoid injury from falling or moving parts, be sure to support parts and be sure they are
in a stable position as you disassemble the valve.
D Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Do not scratch the drive shaft or packing box wall while removing
packing parts.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
