Page 5: Receiving Inspection And Handling
RESPONSIBILITY FOR VALVE APPLICATION The User is responsible for ordering the correct valves. APV Valves are to be installed in the observance of the pressure rating and design temperature. Prior to installation, the valves and nameplates should be checked for proper identification to be sure the valve is of the proper type, material and is of a suitable pressure class and temperature limit to satisfy the applications requirements. -
Page 6: Safety Information
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 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES DURING OPERATION BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: a- The graphoil packing and body gasket is very brittle: any twisting or bending shall be avoided. b- The internal parts of valves (ball, stem, seats) shall be handled with care avoiding scratches or surface damage.

SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES • The protection must be restored following the instruction indicated from APV in accordance with the painting cycle used. • Without any ball movement, the internal surface of the valves must be inspected to check the complete absence of dust, rust, foreign matters and the integrity of lubricant coat. - Page 9 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES b- The end protectors must be removed only immediately before installation. If one of end is not connected to the line for a period of longer than half a day the opened end shall be securely sealed with plastic or wooden cover.
- Page 10 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES 2.3 MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO FLUSHING a- If the period between installation and flushing of the of the pipeline is longer than six months a preventative maintenance operation is suggested.
- Page 11 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES Do not operate the valve during flushing or entrained particulates could damage soft seat or enter stem or seat pocket area. Note 2. Use an appropriate high pressure grease-injection pump, capable of overcoming the pipe pressure and the high pressure build-up caused by the grease itself, during it’s injection in the grease passages.
- Page 12 APV recommends the following programme for start up: - 1. For the first year, inject a small amount of grease into the seats before turning the valve, every time.

The following inspection and maintenance procedures of valve components should be performed by a professional valve repairer. Replace any parts that are damaged with genuine APV spare parts. The sampled drawing in Appendix 1 is used as an example to reference parts. However, the Bill of Material varies according to size, class &... - Page 16 WARNING: due to the specialised manufacturing process, the performance of the seat insert is guaranteed only if manufactured by APV. Do not attempt to press in a new after market seat insert. b- A non genuine or client made refurbished part will void the warranty.
- Page 17 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES 6.9 BOLTS, NUTS AND THREADED COMPONENTS a- All bolts, nuts, and threaded particulars shall be cleaned with kerosene, dried and lubricated with protective oil. The body bolts should have a copper based anti-seize grease applied. To ensure grease does not dry or wash out and does prevent corrosion protective plastic nut caps with grease nipples are available.

If required, it’s possible to lubricate the stem and the seats through emergency sealant injection grease-check valve where required when these nipples are provided.

Page 20: Maintenance Schedule
SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES 8.4 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ESTABLISH INTERVALS ACCORDING TO PLANT REQUIREMENTS. a- Stem packing or seal leakage. In case of leakage from stem seal or packing proceed first to inject sealant through the sealant nipple where provided (see 8.4.1 below). If it does not stop the leak the stem gland seal must be replaced. - Page 21 7. Inject only enough sealant to stop the leakage. An excess of sealant is wasteful, and contaminates the installation downstream. APV ball valves optionally feature another sealant injection point in the stem shaft area (25A), to help stop leakage through the O-rings located there. The quantity of sealant required is proportional to the diameter of the shaft (much smaller than the amount required in the seats).
- Page 22 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES If the body cavity keeps venting fluid at a constant flow rate for a very long time, it is a signal of bad sealing of the valve seats. For liquid service only a lower drain valve will immediately indicate a leak.
- Page 23 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES pressure should not exceed in 1.33 times the valve pressure rating at the specified maximum operating temperature; however, pop-off action usually happens long before, with just a few bars of differential pressure.
- Page 24 SIDE ENTRY 3P TRUNNION BALL VALVES API6D STANDARD - BVF100 SERIES 10.0 OVERVIEW DESIGN FEATURES Piston-action seats As line pressure increases the seat reacts to the force of the pressure to form an effective seal. In the absence of line pressure, coil springs behind the seat provide a tight seal by keeping the seat in contact with the ball surface.
