Page 6: Safety Information
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. -
Page 7: Environmental Considerations
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). -
Page 8: Installation
FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 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. -
Page 9: Installation Positions
FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 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 uni-directional, in which case the direction of flow will be indicated on the valve body. - Page 10 FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 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).
- Page 11 The ‘swing out’ version of BV100 Series valve can be disassembled prior to welding to avoid damage to seats and body seals (only 3 bolts need to be removed to ‘swing out’ the centre section of the remaining bolt).

Page 12: Manual Operation
You can still use disassembly method 2.4.1 above provided you have 3mm of line movement. APV will supply spare body gaskets where required. If you do not disassemble the valve, do not attempt to weld valves under 50 NB (2”) that do not have pup ends unless you are using water cooling and monitoring the temperature. - Page 13 FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 SERIES Packing leakage could result in personal injury. Valve packing is tightened prior to shipping but may require adjustment to meet specific service conditions. If a valve does not fully close, damage to the seat and body will result due to the venturi effect resulting in high pressure erosion.
- Page 14 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.
- Page 15 FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 SERIES 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. 4.2.1 Body Gasket Tightening Should leakage occur at the body joint, tighten bonnet bolts to the values shown in Table 1 (refer Appendix).

Page 16: Disassembly Procedure
FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 SERIES Reassembly: - 1. Installation of new seats, packing and seals is recommended, then follow reassembly procedure 4.5 below. 2. For gear operator or power actuator operated: - install the yoke and tighten the screws. - Page 17 FLOATING BALL VALVES - BV100 SERIES 4. The gland packing and gasket should be replaced preferably each time the valve is disassembled. 5. To reassemble body and cap, each bolt and nut shall be pre greased and then tightened in accordance with applicable Torque as per Table 1 (see Appendix).
