HAYWARD FLOW CONTROL TWH & TNH SERIES BALL VALVE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PRIOR TO INSTALLING AND USING HAYWARD TWH, and TNH SERIES BALL VALVES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. 1. Hayward Flow Control (Hayward), a division of Hayward Holdings, Inc, guarantees its products against defective material and workmanship only. Hayward assumes no responsibility for property damage or personal injury resulting from improper installation, misapplication, or abuse of any product. 2. Hayward assumes no responsibility for property damage or personal injury resulting from chemical incompatibility between its products and the process fluids to which they are exposed. Determining whether a particular PVC, CPVC, or PP product is suitable for an application is the responsibility of the user. Chemical compatibility charts provided in Hayward literature are based on ambient temperatures of 70°F and are for reference only. 3. Hayward products are designed for use with non-compressible liquids. WARNING Hayward PVC and CPVC products should NEVER be used or tested with compressible fluids such as compressed air or nitrogen. Use of PVC and CPVC products in compressible fluid applications may result in product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. WARNING The Series TWH and TNH Ball Valve is intended for use in liquid service only. Do not attempt to use this valve for controlling air or gases. Use of this product in air or gas service may result in product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. 4. The maximum recommended fluid velocity through any Hayward product is eight feet per second (8 ft/s). Higher fluid velocity can result in damage due to the water hammer effect. 5. Piping systems must be designed and supported to prevent excess mechanical loading on Hayward products due to system misalignment, weight, shock, vibration, and the effects of thermal expansion and contraction. 6. The effect of temperature on plastic piping systems must be considered when the systems are initially designed. The pressure rating of plastic systems must be reduced with increasing temperature. Maximum operating pressure is dependent upon material selection as well as operating temperature. Before installing any Hayward product, consult Hayward product literature for pressure vs. temperature curves to determine any operating pressure or temperature limitations. 7. PVC and CPVC plastic products become brittle below 40°F. Use caution in their installation and operation below this temperature. WARNING Hayward PVC and CPVC products should not be used in services with operating temperature below 34°F. 8. Due to differential thermal expansion rates between metal and plastic, transmittal of pipe vibration and pipe loading forces, DIRECT INSTALLATION OF PLASTIC VALVES INTO METAL PIPING SYSTEMS IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Wherever installation of plastic valves into metal piping systems is necessary, it is recommended that at least 10 pipe diameters in length of plastic pipe be installed upstream and downstream of the plastic valve to compensate for the factors mentioned above. 9. Published operating requirements are based on testing of new valves using clean water at 70°F. Valve performance is affected by many factors including fluid chemistry, viscosity, specific gravity, flow rate, and temperature. These should be considered when sizing Hayward products. 10. Systems should always be depressurized and drained prior to installing or maintaining any Hayward product. WARNING Failure to depressurize and drain system prior to installing or maintaining valve may result in product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. 11. Always follow your site and or company procedures for any safety training and or site-specific precautions or warnings in addition to those in this document. __________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INSTALLATION: 1.1. Transporting the Valve: 1.1.1. Valve should be stored inside factory packaging until product is ready to be installed. Packaged valve should be stored indoors, at room temperature, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing packaged valve in location where packaging may become wet. Valve should be moved as close to installation site as possible prior to removing from packaging. Do not cut through tape on box any more than necessary to avoid damaging valve. After removing valve from carton, care must be taken not to damage valve or to allow debris to enter valve. WARNING System must be depressurized and drained prior to installing valve or performing maintenance. Failure to depressurize and drain system prior to installing or maintaining valve may result in product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. CAUTION Do not install valve directly to pump outlet. Allow a length of at least 5 pipe diameters between pump outlet and valve. Do not install valve directly after a reducer / expansion fitting. Install at least 5 pipe diameters from an expansion or reducing fitting. Pipe must be supported upstream and downstream of the valve. Sound piping system design principles should be applied when installing this valve. Do not install valve directly into a metal system. Wherever installation of plastic valves into metal piping systems is necessary, it is recommended that at least 10 pipe diameters in length of plastic pipe be installed upstream and downstream of the plastic valve. 1.2. Installing the Valve into a System: NOTE Hayward TWH and TNH Series ball valves have arrows marked on the handle indicating the open ports through which fluid is flowing. 1.2.1. Remove valve from packaging. 1.2.2. Verify that product is defect free and meets specifications. 1.2.3. Remove the nut and end connector by rotating the nuts counterclockwise. Verify end connector o-rings are installed in their respective grooves. 1.2.4. Place nut over pipe end so that it can engage the end connector once the end connector is connected to the pipe end. 1.2.4.1. Threaded End Connectors: 1.2.4.1.1. Wrap male threads of pipe end with PTFE tape. Proper application of PTFE tape will provide a sufficient seal for PVC and CPVC threaded joints. WARNING Do not use "pipe dope", liquid sealant, or thread sealant on any PVC or CPVC threaded connections. Pipe dope and thread sealants may react with the PVC or CPVC, weakening the material and potentially resulting in failure of the joint, product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. 1.2.4.1.2. Thread the end connector onto the threaded pipe end until "hand tight". Using a strap wrench only (never use a pipe wrench), tighten the end connector onto the pipe only to the point required to form a seal between the end connector and pipe thread; 1/2 turn past hand tight is typically sufficient to form a seal. (Caution: Tightening beyond this point may introduce excessive stress that could cause failure of the end connector or the threaded end of the pipe.) Hayward Flow Control www.haywardflowcontrol.com 1.2.4.2. Solvent-Weld End Connectors (PVC and CPVC only): CAUTION Valve center cartridge must be disassembled from nuts and end connectors prior to solvent cementing end connections into system. Avoid exposing valve cartridge and end connector o-rings to primer, solvent cement, or their fumes, as damage to the valve could result. 1.2.4.2.1. Refer to solvent-cement manufacturer's instructions and cure times. 1.2.4.2.2. Do not install valve cartridge until solvent cement has fully cured. Reinstall end connectors by threading nuts onto body by rotating in a clockwise direction. 1.2.4.3. Flange Connections: 1.2.4.3.1. NOTE: When provided with flanges, TWH and TNH Series True Union Ball Valves are provided with an end connection sub-assembly, consisting of an end connector, solvent cemented to a flange, with an assembly nut for connection to the valve. 1.2.4.3.2. Flange bolts should be tight enough to compress the gasket and make a good seal, without distorting or putting excessive stress on the flanges. Suitable washers should be used between the bolt head and flange and the nut and flange. Bolts should be tightened in alternating sequence (Figure 1). See Table 1 for recommended torque.

Install valve cartridge between end connectors, match nuts to body threads and turn nut clockwise to thread onto body. Using a strap wrench only (never use a pipe wrench), nut can be tightened ¼ - ½ turn past hand-tight, as needed. 1.2.4.4.1. Never install valve into system where assembly nuts have to be used to pull system together. This will apply undue loading on the valve body and assembly nuts. Piping system should be properly aligned prior to valve installation. 1.2.4.4.2. Never install valve into system that must be forcibly separated in order to allow space for body. This will apply undue loading on the valve body. 1.2.4.5. Valve with actuator: 1.2.4.5.1. If the valve was provided with an actuator from the factory, the actuator stops will already be set by the factory during assembly. 1.2.4.5.2. Support weight of actuator as necessary. 1.2.4.5.3. Do not allow valve to support the weight of the pipe. 1.2.4.5.4. When using pneumatic or electric actuators, additional support directly to the actuator is recommended. When large actuation is used, weight of the actuator needs to be supported independent of the support given by the mounting flange of the valve. 1.2.4.5.5. Refer to IOM provided with actuator for wiring / plumbing and operating instructions. 2.

Operation of valve: 2.6.1. Rotate the handle clockwise or counterclockwise about stem axis. Lockplate will engage stop on body when valve is in the 0° and 180° position for the TWH Series and at 0° and 90° for the TNH Series. 2.6.1.1. Arrows on the top of the handle indicate open ports of the ball in the valve. 2.6.1.2. Port C is a non-sealing port (See Figures 2 & 3). 2.6.1.3. The valve can be locked out using the lockplate in the 0°, 90°, and 180° position for the TWH Series and at 0° and 90° for the TNH Series. 2.6.2. Do not attempt to operate the handle past the stops in the body, as this may damage the lockplate or the valve body. 2.7. Locking valve in position: 2.7.1. The lockplate on the TWH and TNH Series Ball Valve incorporates four holes suitable for locking the valve in a desired position at 0°, 90°, or 180° for the TWH Series and at 0° or 90° for the TNH Series. 2.7.2. To lock a valve in position, pass the shackle of a lock through the aligned holes on the lockplate and body top flange and latch the lock. Confirm that a suitably tight fit exists between the lockplate, valve body, and lock in order to prevent valve from being operated. 2.7.2.1. It is typically easiest to install the lock from the underside of the body first and to pass it up through the top flange of the body and then the lock plate. 2.7.2.2. See Table 2 for suggested shackle diameters and lock sizes. 2.7.3. Once lock is installed, verify that valve cannot be operated. 2.7.4. Do not install lock in lock plate if valve is not at the 0°, 90°, or 180° for the TWH Series or 0° or 90° for the TNH Series. 2.8. Periodic Operation 2.8.1. Where possible, for valves that are installed in locations where they are not operated frequently, it is recommended that valves are operated according to a routine maintenance schedule at least once every six months.

Product Specifications: Maximum Pressure:150 psi @ 70ºF (see Chart 1 for operating pressures at elevated temperatures) Material PVC CPVC Min. Operating Temperature Max. Operating Temperature 34ºF (1.1ºC) 140ºF (60.0ºC) 34ºF (1.1ºC) 190ºF (82.2ºC) Table 4: Operating Temperature WARNING The maximum recommended fluid velocity through any plastic piping system is eight feet per second (8 ft/s). Higher fluid velocity can create excess water hammer effect, resulting in property damage, personal injury, or even death. CAUTION Published operating requirements are based on testing of new valves using clean water at 70°F. Valve performance is affected by many factors including fluid chemistry, viscosity, specific gravity, flow rate, and temperature. These should be considered when sizing systems using Hayward products. 3. MAINTENANCE: Figure 4: Lock WARNINGS System must be depressurized and drained prior to installing valve or performing maintenance. Failure to depressurize and drain system prior to installing or maintaining valve may result in product damage, property damage, personal injury, or even death. Make sure operator or actuator, if any, has no stored energy and is in its' fail position if applicable. For valves supplied with electric actuators, follow lock out/tag out procedures and remove all power from device before performing maintenance. Valve must only be removed from line when handle is in partially, but not fully, open position (i.e. 45º position) and when line is fully depressurized and drained. Valves that are in fully open or fully closed positions could have trapped cavity pressure. 3.1. Removing Handle and Lockplate: 3.1.1. Depressurize and drain system with valve handle in partially, but not fully, open position (i.e. handle at 45º position). 3.1.2. Handle can be removed from lockplate by inserting a flat blade screwdriver between handle and lockplate and gently prying upwards against handle. Rocking handle back and forth in relation to lockplate will ease removal 3.1.3. Lockplate can be removed from valve by inserting flat blade screwdriver between lockplate and body top flange and gently prying upwards against lockplate. Turning valve to closed position will allow lockplate to overhang body and will ease removal. 3.2. Replacing End Connector O-Rings: 3.2.1. Depressurize and drain system with valve handle in partially, but not fully, open position (i.e. handle at 45º position). 3.2.2. Remove assembly nuts from valve body by rotating counterclockwise. 3.2.3. Remove valve body from system. 3.2.4. Using a plastic pick, carefully remove the old seals. NOTE: Be very careful not to damage the o-ring grooves or valve body. 3.2.5. Clean o-ring grooves with a soft brush or cloth. 3.2.6. Install new o-rings by gently pressing o-ring into groove until o-ring is fully seated. 3.2.7. Install valve cartridge between end connectors, match nuts to body threads and turn nut clockwise to thread onto body. Using a strap wrench only (never use a pipe wrench), nut can be tightened ¼ - ½ turn past hand-tight, as needed. 3.2.7.1. Never install valve into system where assembly nuts have to be used to pull system together. This will apply undue loading on the valve body and assembly nuts. Piping system should be properly aligned prior to valve installation. 3.2.7.2. Never install valve into system that must be forcibly separated in order to allow space for body. This will apply undue loading on the valve body 3.3. Replacing Internal Seats and Seals: 3.3.1. Depressurize and drain system with valve handle in partially, but not fully open position (i.e. handle at 45º position). 3.3.2. Remove assembly nuts from valve body by rotating counterclockwise. 3.3.3. Remove valve body from system. 3.3.4. Rotate handle so valve is in the 0° position. 3.3.5. Remove handle and lock plate (See Section 3.1) 3.3.6. Remove seal retainer from body by engaging slots on seal retainer and rotating counter-clockwise. An optional wrench is available from Hayward Flow Control for the ½"-2" sizes and is needed to engage the slots. The wrench part number is TBSRW. 3.3.7. Remove ball from body by reaching inside closed end bore of body and pushing ball towards open end of valve body. 3.3.8. Remove stem from body by pressing on top of stem and forcing stem into body, then pulling stem out of body. 3.3.9. Using a plastic pick, remove seats from the body and from the seal retainer. 3.3.10. Using a plastic pick, remove the o-rings from the stem, body, and seal retainer. Note o-ring size for each location. 3.3.11. Clean o-ring grooves and seat pockets with a soft brush or cloth. 3.3.12. Install and lightly lubricate new o-rings on stem, and seal retainer. Be careful not to roll or damage o-rings during installation. 3.3.12.1. Hayward recommends lubricating o-rings with KrytoxTM GPL203. 3.3.13. Install a seat into the body. 3.3.13.1. NOTE: ½"-2" Seats are reversible and can be installed with either side facing towards the ball. 2-1/2" 6" Seats are not reversible and must be installed with the largest chamfer facing the ball 3.3.14. Install stem into stem bore by rotating stem inside valve body until center axis of stem is aligned with stem bore, then pressing gently and evenly on stem until stem has "bottomed" against stem counter bore. 3.3.15. While continuing to hold the stem in place, install lock plate and handle onto stem. The lock plate "snaps" to stem. The handle "snaps" to the lock plate. 3.3.16. Make certain that the handle / stem / lock plate assembly is rotated to the 0° position. 3.3.17. Install ball into body in closed position. Make certain ball slot engages the bottom of the stem boss. 3.3.18. Install a seat into the seal retainer on top of the seat o-ring. 3.3.19. Reassemble the seal retainer sub-assembly to the valve body by engaging the mating threads and rotating the seal retainer in the clockwise direction. 3.3.20.
