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 with buttweld ends. 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).
2 PIECE BODY BALL VALVES - FS660 SERIES 1.2 STORAGE 1.2.1 Temporary Storage If valves are to be stored before installation, the following should be observed: a) Keep the valves wrapped and protected as shipped from the manufacturer. b) Do not remove the protective end covering until the valve is ready for installation. This will reduce the possibility of foreign material damaging the internal valve components.
2 PIECE BODY BALL VALVES - FS660 SERIES b) Body bolts and nuts on valve shall be checked and re tightened if necessary in case loosened during installation. c) Remove valve end protectors and ensure gasket faces are free from damage. Tighten all bolts between mating flanges and valve equally paying careful attention to properly tighten bolts.
2 PIECE BODY BALL VALVES - FS660 SERIES Insert the pipe into the valve end connection until it bottoms out in the socket weld bore. Withdraw the pipe 1/16” so that a gap remains between the pipe and the bottom of the socket weld bore to prevent cracks (ASME B16.11).
160°C. Always leave valve in open position during welding but also at least 60 minutes after welding unit valve cools. c) Where required APV will supply spare body gaskets. Graphite body gaskets are brittle so great care should be taken not to damage.
2 PIECE BODY BALL VALVES - FS660 SERIES 3.2 LOCK DEVICE Where provided (optional) the valve has a locking lug that allows valve to be locked in full open or full closed position. 4 . 0 M A I N T E N A N C E Valves should be periodically checked at least once every 3 months, but depending on service, criticality and frequency of use, more regular checking may be required.

Should replacement of packing fail to prevent the leakage, complete reconditioning of the valve may be required. Personal injury may result from sudden release of any process pressure. APV recommends the use of protective clothing, gloves and eye wear when performing any installation or maintenance.
In case of slight leakage check the threaded body joint is properly tightened up. 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.
