INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL This manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of all AVCO standard 9100 series ball valves as described in the current AVCO catalog. Custom made or customer modified versions of the 9100 series may use this manual as a general guide only.
Although the valves will operate with the handle or operator on the underside of the pipe it is not recommended and AVCO advises that, where possible, the valve handle be no more than from top dead center when installed in a horizontal pipe run, particularly when an actuator other than a manual handle is used.
9100 SERIES Manual Operation All AVCO 9100 series ball valves are supplied with basic quarter turn lever handles as standard unless otherwise stated and no other lever should be used as a substitute or to create greater leverage. For all valve sizes there is a lock plate for valve lock-off which is achieved by inserting a padlock or other suitable locking device through the aligned holes.

BALL VALVES 9100 SERIES required torque (see table 2) or until the Belleville washers are flattened. The Belleville washers should have their outside edges touching concentrically. The stem retainer ring can be inserted as soon as it is possible to do so.

BALL VALVES 9100 SERIES Bolting Information Stem nuts should be tightened finger tight and then torqued per table 2 or tightened with a wrench until the Belleville washers are fully flat. Once the required tightening has been achieved, the nut should be backed off no more than 1/8 turn until the lock pad can be assembled onto the stem.
Any component that is replaced during maintenance or repair is an AVCO authorized spare part and is specific to the originally specified valve. Any component of the valve can be replaced, but AVCO recommends that if the body becomes damaged then the complete valve be replaced.
