Installation
WARNING
To avoid electrocution, ALL electrical
work should be done by a registered
electrician, following industrial safety
standards and local codes. All power
must be OFF and Locked Out during
installation.

Welding Instructions

CAUTION
Inspect each valve prior to installation.
When using buttweld connections on
two- and three-piece body valves, clamp
connections MUST be used on one or

When installing valves, ensure that no foreign materials (e.g.
tools, screws, welding wire, lubricants, cloths, etc.) are enclosed
in the system.
W60/W80 valves with welded connections require the following
before welding:
1. Remove the stem and actuator assembly. See "Valve
Removal" on page 19.
2. Remove all seals from the body.
3. Weld the body into position, ensuring that the connection is
free of tension and distortion.
4. Dissipate heat away from the valve body to prevent warping.
Install the valves using dry, filtered air. Lubrication is not required.
If using lubricated air, refer to the solenoid manufacturer's specifi-
cations.
Install adequate supports to prevent strain on the fittings, valves,
and equipment connections.

G
1. Install supports at least every 10 feet (3 meters) on straight
runs of piping (Figure 1, item C).
2. Install supports on both sides of the valves as close as
possible to the connections (Figure 1, item D).
E
3. Install supports at each change of pipeline direction (Figure
1, item E and F).
4. For pipelines passing through walls, floors or ceilings, provide
at least 1 inch (25 mm) of clearance around the pipe to allow
for expansion and contraction (Figure 1, item G).
