This manual provides instructions for storing, general servicing, installation and removal of ball valves. APV and it’s resellers refuse any liability for damage to people, property or plant as well as loss of production and loss of income under any circumstances but especially if caused by: Incorrect installation or utilisation of the valve or if the valve installed is not fit for the intended purpose.
ANSI Class 150, Class 300 and Class 600 flanges (or can be buttweld one end). SLFSBV02 is firesafe. SLBV02 is not firesafe. 1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS According to ISO 14000 regulations and the environmental policy of APV the recyclability of the components that form part of APV valves is as follows: Recyclable components: Metal parts, PTFE (hard), plastic plug (low-density polyethylene).
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES 1.3 PREPARATION a) Remove the valve end protection. b) Prior to shipment, a preservative/corrosion inhibitor may have been applied to the inner body of the valve. This preservative/corrosion inhibitor can be removed with a solvent provided the solvent used does not affect the seats/seals used in the valve.
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES 2.1 INSTALLATION POSITIONS Ball valves are usually bi-directional, and therefore may be installed in either direction. In some cases, ball valves such as metal to metal seated and low temperature valves may be unidirectional, in which case the direction of flow will be indicated on the valve body.
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES 3 . 0 O P E R A T I O N 3.1 MANUAL OPERATION Valve adjustment is by clockwise turning of stem. Lever operated and gear operated valves have a position indicator to indicate open or closed (see figure 1 & 2). Ball Valves must not be used for throttling. Do not leave part open, or seats will be damaged.
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES The most common area for leakage is around the stem packing, this is usually due to wear and can normally be stopped by adjusting the packing. This procedure is performed by turning gland bolts or nut (8) 1/2 turn at a time until leakage stops.
Sealing between the end cap insert and body is provided with a gasket (Teflon, spiral wound or graphite) and both valve segment surfaces also provide threaded metal to metal sealing. If a gasket seal is disturbed while removing or adjusting gasketed parts, APV recommends installing a new gasket while reassembling. A proper seal is required to ensure optimum operation.
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES 3. For lever operated: - remove the screw or circlip fastening the lever. Remove the lever. Remove the retainer/lock washer and the stop plate. 4. Follow disassembly procedure 4.4 below. 5. Remove the ball from the body. Check the ball for any damage. Remove the seat from the body. Check the seat for any damage.
FLOATING BALL VALVES - SLFSBV02 & SLBV02 SERIES 4.5 REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1. For reassembly of the disassembled valves, follow the above disassembling procedure in the reverse order. 2. After cleaning the disassembled parts, reset each part in the original position properly. The threaded parts should be cleaned thoroughly and applied with lubricating paste.
