3 INSTALLATION
WARNING · To prevent personal injury or property
damage resulting from the bursting of pressure retaining parts, be certain the service conditions do not exceed the limits given on name plate / tag plate of valve. · Personal injury could result from packing leakage. The valve packing was tightened before shipment however; the packing might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions. · Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media. · Before valve installation, ensure that the pipeline is free from dirt, debris, scale, weldslag etc. to prevent damage to the internal trim parts and seals of the valve. · Ensure that the valve end protectors are removed and the valve ends and bore are cleaned before installation. · If mounting stand or support stand of valve is provided on end flange they shall be removed before installation on the pipeline (refer Figure 6).

· Mounting/support stand is only for handling and transportation and not for carrying piping loads. Hence Emerson recommends to give supports to the pipeline appropriately and shall not exceed following recommendations. - For sizes, up to DN 100 (NPS 4), support to be provided at a distance of `2D' to `3D' from both valve ends - For sizes, DN 150 (NPS 6) and higher, support to be provided at distance `D' from both valve ends, where `D' is the nominal diameter of pipeline.
· For removing mounting/support stand from valve assembly, lift the valve above ground level by using appropriate material handling/lifting equipment. Refer handling section of this IOM. Loosen and remove the nuts from respective mounting stand bolts/studs and remove the stands. Fasten the nuts and bolts/studs only to the mounting stand again and store the entire set appropriately to reuse whenever required for maintenance, storage etc.
· To reinstall the mounting/support stand on valve, position the valve above ground level by using appropriate material handling/lifting equipment. Refer handling section of this IOM. Loosen and remove the nuts and bolts/

studs from mounting stand set. Position the stand aligning its holes with valve flange holes and retighten the nuts with bolts/studs as shown in Figure 6. · Examples of valve support configurations are shown in Figure 7. · The valve should preferably be in fully open condition during installation. Exception being the 'fail close' valves. · Never install the Valve with the Actuator upside down on the pipeline, refer Figure 8.

Installation of valve in vertical pipeline or horizontal stem · Installation of valve in vertical pipeline:
- This design does not permit the valve installation in vertical pipeline.
· Installation of valve with horizontal stem: - T his design does not permit the valve installation with stem in horizontal or inclined position. Only vertical position is allowed.
4 OPERATION

· Do not apply extra force using inappropriate extensions to levers and handwheel like pipes or bars. Note: International standards typically restrict the input force on lever/handwheel rim to max. of 360N and the valves are designed accordingly.
· For valve with pneumatic and gas actuator, do not exceed the operating pressure of actuator.
· Always use dry, moisture free air while operating the valve with pneumatic actuator.

· For lever operated valve, the lever is either shipped loose or assembled with valve depending upon the size of the valve / lever. Rotation of lever in the clockwise direction closes the valve and counterclockwise rotation opens the valve.
· For gear operated valve, THE GEAR OPERATOR OPEN / CLOSE ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN DONE PRIOR TO SHIPMENT AND MUST NOT BE CHANGED. Rotation of hand wheel in the clockwise direction closes the valve and counterclockwise rotation opens the valve.
· It is recommended that the valve should be opened and closed slowly to prevent hammering effect on the valve and pipeline.
· If the valve is not operating to fully open or fully close position and/or leaking, do not apply excessive force to operate the valve. This can damage the valve internals and/or the operator parts.

7 PREVENTIVE / PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Preventive / periodic maintenance is essential as the failure to do so may result in inadequate performance of the valve or also failures like seat leakage, environmental leakage, increased torque, jerky operation etc.
All valves in operation should be periodically inspected thoroughly to evaluate the condition of ball, seats and seals as these parts are subject to normal wear and tear. The frequency of inspection depends upon the severity of service conditions and location of the valve and should be conducted during partial or total shutdown.

Section 11 describes the procedure for disassembly and reassembly of the valve. Once a valve is refurbished / repaired it should undergo a complete set of tests to make sure that the valve is fit to use for the intended working conditions. Hydrostatic or Pneumatic tests should be carried out as per the specifications relevant to the valve.
Gear operators are packed with grease. It is recommended that the grease should be changed after approximately 5-7 years if operated frequently or after 10-12 years if operated infrequently. Contact factory for appropriate grease grades if grease needs to be changed.

Special attention is to be paid to inspect for damage and / or wear due to corrosion or erosion.

Periodic inspection of valve typically includes following activities: · Inspection for any visible defect or failure
such as packing or body joint leakage · Tightening of bolts/nuts to recommended
torques · Valve stroking to prevent jamming and
corrosion every six months

11.1 Warnings For removal of valve from pipeline, disassembly, re-assembly · Pay attention to prevent personal injury or
equipment damage from sudden release of process pressure or uncontrolled movement of parts. · Always wear PPE like protective gloves, safety shoes, helmet, clothing, eyewear and other PPE as mandated by site/project when performing any maintenance operations to prevent personal injury. · Do not remove the operator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized. · In case of an actuated valve, before removal of actuator, disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot accidently open or close the valve. · In case of spring return actuators ensure that the spring is at its uncompressed position.

· Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
· Ball valves can retain pressure and process fluid in cavity even after process pressure has been removed from both sides of the valve. Relieve this pressure before disassembling or removing the valve from the line. Take additional care if the process fluid is hot, flammable, caustic, or hazardous.
· Carefully secure the valve in an upright position. The roundness of the flanges and valve body allow it to easily roll from sideto-side. The combined weight of the valve and actuator assembly could cause injury or property damage when falling to the side.
· Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
· Exercise caution when working on the valve stem packing as it may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.
· Prevent injury by keeping hands, tools and other objects away from the ball while stroking the valve.
· Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

12 BODY CAVITY RELIEF OPERATION

13 GLAND PACKING ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Single piston effect seat - self relieving seat When seats are under pressure in pipeline, upstream and downstream both, the resultant thrust from pressure pushes the seat rings towards the ball.
At the same time, pressure in the body cavity creates a thrust that pushes the seat rings away from the ball.
The single piston effect (SPE) permits the automatic release of overpressure in the body cavity when the valve is in the fully open or closed position. In single piston effect design, seat rings are thus "self-relieving".
Double piston effect seat (DEP) - non relieving type of seats When seats are under pressure in pipeline, upstream and downstream both, the resultant thrust from pressure pushes the seat rings towards the ball.
Also, pressure in the body cavity creates a thrust that pushes the seat rings towards the ball.

1. In case of packing contain braided graphite, it shall be placed at bottom and top. Position of packing arrangement such that the oblique cut of these braided graphite is 180° apart. Refer Figure below for appropriate arrangement for die molded and for VEE type packing.
2. Place the gland into the housing and disk spring (for VEE type packing) and the cap screw / hex bolt.
3. Hand tighten cap screw / hex bolt in crisscross pattern.
4. Tighten gland cap screws / hex bolt in crisscross pattern by using 25% torque as specified in Section 14 against mentioned fasteners material.
5. Ensure no bottoming up of gland or otherwise one ring needs to be added in packing set.
6. Verify that the gland top surface is at equal depth from top face of housing.
NOTE Full tightening of screws shall be done during performance testing depending on leakage observed.

When the valve is designed with double piston effect (DPE), self-relieving does not occur and hence PR (pressure relief) valve is mandatory with pre-setting to avoid over pressure building in the cavity.
