Shaft position
WKM® Triple Offset Butterfly Valves perform equally well
with the shaft in the vertical or horizontal position. Cameron
recommends that the optimum valve installation is with the
shaft in the horizontal plane.
Installing the valve with the shaft at an angle will minimize
any problem associated with solid particles present in the
fluid that otherwise could deposit in the lower bearing area.
Scope
The WKM® Triple Offset Valves are metal seated
butterfly valves. They are designed and manufactured in
a manner that allows the disc to rotate into and out of
the seat with absolutely no interference. This results in a
sealing system that does not depend upon interference
to achieve the seal like other butterfly valves.
Storage
After assembly and test, WKM® Triple Offset Valves
are placed in the closed position. Carbon steel valves
are painted on the external surfaces. Flange
protection is provided for all valves. Valves should be
stored in a clean, dry location. Outdoor storage is
permissible, but should be off the ground and
protected from the elements. For long term storage,
contact your Cameron representative.
Installation
Although WKM® Triple Offset Butterfly Valves have bidirectional sealing capabilities and will operate in any
position, the following positions are generally
recommended.
Flow direction
It is preferred to install the valve in the flow direction
as indicated by the arrow on the valve body. The best
sealing performance will be maintained even when
pressure acts on the non-preferred side of the valve,
however it is recommended to install the valve in the
direction of the flow arrow when the service tightness
requirements are more stringent in one specific
direction (Figure 1).

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 6 WKM-TOV-IOM
Disc/pipe clearance
Before beginning installation, note the following:
Disc/pipe clearance should be checked before
beginning installation to avoid the possibility of
scraping on the seal ring edge on the pipe I.D. and
damaging the sealing surface. Chamfer is
recommended on the pipe flange.
Minimum pipe I.D. required for disc swing clearance:
Class 150 valves - Standard pipe or equivalent
Class 300 valves - Schedule40/XS pipe or equivalent
Class 600 valves - Schedule 100 pipe or equivalent
Consult Table 1 - Disc clearance for required flange
modifications for other pipe schedules (Figure 2).

Procedure
The following procedure applies to new installation
between standard ASME B16.5 pipe flanges.
When replacing a valve from an existing installation,
The flange faces shall be cleaned of any residual
gasket material before starting.
Actuation shall not be removed from the valve for
installations unless the actuator must be transferred
during replacement.
1. Protective covers shall be removed from the valve.
Be sure valve is completely closed.
2. Lug body valves shall be positioned between the
flanges with gaskets properly centered and then the
bolting inserted (Figure 4).
3. Disc clearance shall be carefully checked by placing
the valve in the full open position. Should automated
valves be difficult or impossible to cycle, check that the
raised face of the flange matches the raised area on
the valve face.
4. All bolting shall be tightened in a crossover or star
pattern to insure even sealing (Figure 4), refer figure 9
for star pattern tightening method
5. Packing retainer tightness is pre-tested at the
factory. Should shaft leakage occur at start-up, the
packing retainer can be adjusted to stop the leak.
Avoid over tightening which may result in excessive
operating torque or premature packing wear.
Worm gear operated
Worm gear operators, available as standard
equipment on all valves, which are not power actuated,
have an arrow on top of the operator that indicates the
"OPEN - CLOSED" position of the disc (Figure 5)
Counter-clockwise rotation of the hand wheel opens
the valve, clockwise rotation closes the valve.

Valve position verification
1. Check the operation of the valve by stroking it to "full open" and "full close". To verify the valve orientation, the disc
position is accomplished by dimple on shaft. When the dimple is inline with flow axis, disc is open (Figure 6).

properly
1. Valve not fully closed.
2. Foreign matter is present between seat

2. Operate several times to wipe clean.
3. Operator stops are not set properly.
3. Adjust stops to proper setting.
4. The seat and/ or disc is worn or
damaged.
5. Seat retainer screws are not tight.
6. Tighten seat retainer screws as per
torquing method.
Valve is leaking around
the stem
1. Packing retainer flange nuts too loose.
2. Replace packing - See “Packing
maintenance”.
Bottom cap gasket
leaking
1. Bottom cap bolting loose.
1. Tighten bottom cap bolting.
2. Spiral wound gasket damage.
2. Replace spiral wound gasket – See
“Bottom cap gasket maintenance”.
1. Shaft packing too tight.
1. Tighten packing only sufficiently to stop
leaks.
2. Operator failed/ not installed properly.
3. Build up of solids or roughness on edge
of disc.
3. Operate several times to wipe clean or
disassemble valve and clean disc edge.
4. Shaft key has sheared.
4. Determine cause of shearing and
correctly replace shaft key.
5. Fluid solidification between bearings
and shaft.
1. Loosen packing nuts, cycle valve,
retighten.
2. Air supply inadequate for the actuator.
2. Increase air supply pressure and/or
volume.
3. Actuator/shaft adapter misaligned.
3. Remove actuator mounting and realign.
1. Disc hits on side of pipe.
1. Check for proper pipe clearance.
Caution:
The line shall be depressurized before starting any
maintenance. Failure to do so may cause serious
personal injury and or equipment damage.
Because of the simple design and operation, WKM®
Triple Offset Valves require virtually no maintenance.
Its non-lubricated construction provides reliable leak free
performance without routine servicing.
The only preventative maintenance recommended for
the valve is to periodically inspect for leaks around the
shaft packing. Should a leak appear, the packing can be
adjusted by tightening the packing retainer nuts slightly.
Avoid excessive tightening which may result in excessive
valve torque or premature packing wear.(Refer Chart B
for recommended retainer torque values)

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 14 WKM-TOV-IOM
Caution:
Torque shall be applied accurately per Torque chart
‘B’. Over torquing will increase the opearting torque of
the valve and will also negatively effect the packing life.

connecting Key(s) (30). Actuator position relative
to the valve position shall be noted for
reassembly.

until the leakage stops.
7. Packing cavity shall be cleaned with Light Mineral Oil
and shaft with Molykote ® -P74 (Grease) or
Equivalent.
8. Packing washer (12), new packings (13), packing
bushing (14), blow out ring (15), and packing retainer
(16) shall be reassembled according to the assembly
configuration noted in point 3.

Mounting Operators To WKM TOV’s
1. Before mounting the operator, the valve position shall be verified for open and close by using the dimple feature
provided on the stem as mentioned on page 9.
2. WKM TOV’s are torque seated in the closed position and are position seated in the open position, therefore to
achieve valve shut off, a few degrees over travel may be required in the operator. Travel stops shall be adjusted
accordingly.
3. Mounting bracket shall be sufficiently rigid to support operator weights and weight imbalances. Stacking mounting
brackets over one another shall be avoided.
4. Parallelism between the top and bottom surfaces of mounting bracket and the flatness of each of these surfaces
shall be maintained to close tolerances. A maximum deviation of 0.2mm is recommended for Parallelism as well
as for Flatness independently.
5. Mounting bracket bolt holes of the top and the bottom surfaces shall be aligned precisely with each other as well
as with the corresponding bolt holes of the actuator and the valve.
6. Adapters for the valve stem/ operator interface shall be designed and manufactured to prevent eccentricity which
can cause misalignment and possible side loads.
7. For scotch yoke type operators, sizing shall be performed such that the run torque is greater than at least 50% of
the published valve break to open torque.
8. Mounting brackets shall be designed to accommodate for the dowel pins on the valve top flange. For the bracket/
operator interface, it is recommended to secure the alignment by using a dowel pin or a spigot mechanism.
