GAS VALVE SIZING
1. Check the burner nameplate for (a) the type of gas
used, and (b) the gas flow capacity. The capacity will
be listed in Btu/h (Btus per hour) or in cf/h (cubic foot
per hour).
2. Call the gas utility for information on (a) the specific
gravity (sp gr) and (b) Btu per cubic foot (Btu/cu ft) for
type of gas used.
3. Find the capacity in cf/h. If the capacity is listed in
Btu/h, convert to cfh by the following formula:
Capacity in cf/h = :Btu/h (from burner nameplate)
Btu/cu ft (from gas utility)
4. For gases with specific gravities other than 0.64,
multiply the burner cfh by the proper conversion factor.
See Table 4.
Table 4. Conversion Factors for
LP—Propane and LP—Butane.
Type of Gas sp gr (average) Multiply cf/h by:
LP—Propane 1.53 0.647
LP—Propane 1.98 0.569
6-3/4 (172)
3-23/32 (95)
27/32 (21)
1
A
5. Use the corrected capacity in cf/h when determining the
gas valve size in Fig. 1.
6. Determine the maximum pressure drop across the valve
and draw a horizontal line at this pressure in Fig. 1.
7. Draw a vertical line in Fig. 1 at the capacity (cf/h)
previously determined. Use the corrected capacity for
a gas with a specific gravity other than 0.64.
8. Use the valve size at the intersection of the horizontal
and vertical lines. If the intersection is between valve
sizes, use the next higher size to the right.
TO SIZE TWO IDENTICAL VALVES PIPED IN SERIES
1. Find the cf/h for the type of gas used.
2. Consider both valves as one unit. Determine the total
maximum pressure drop across the unit.
3. Find the pressure drop across the first valve by
assuming it to be 45 percent of the total pressure drop.
4. Find the valve size from Fig. 1.
5. The second valve will be the same size as the first
valve.

V5055A-F INDUSTRIAL GAS VALVES
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
The V5055 Valve is designed to provide control
of gaseous fuel (natural and LP gas) flow in
applications in which there is minimal exposure to
water. V5055 Valves used in maritime, beverage,
food processing, outdoor and other installations in
which occasional exposure to water is experienced
may be subject to valve stem and spring corrosion.
The presence of corrosion decreases the operating
life of the valve. V5055 Valves used in such
installations should be inspected at least annually
and should have the valve bonnets replaced if
corrosion is noted.
A V4055 Valve Actuator with a NEMA 4 rating is also
recommended for such installations. The water-tight
design of the NEMA 4 rated V4055 Actuator prevents
water from entering the V4055 valve stem and spring
chamber through the actuator. Under certain
conditions, some water may be retained by the
external upper portion of the valve body. The
retained water is effectively excluded from the valve
stem and spring chamber by a functional seal that is
incorporated into the NEMA 4 rated actuator.
When Installing This Product…
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced, flame
safeguard control technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operations as provided in these instructions.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard and Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
1. Turn off gas supply before starting installation.
2. Disconnect power supply for valve actuator before
beginning installation to prevent electrical shock
and equipment damage.
3. Be sure the valve is installed so the arrow on
the valve points in the direction of gas flow.
(Gas pressure helps to close the valve.)
Location
Install the valve in the gas supply line downstream from the
pressure regulator. The valve and actuator may be mounted in
any position that allows sufficient clearance for installation and
for repair or replacement.
1. The valve position indicators should be easily visible
with the valve and actuator in the final position.
2. The final position of the valve and actuator must allow
for damper linkage, if used.
IMPORTANT:
Allow room for turning the valve body (actuator not
attached) onto the gas piping. Swing dimensions,
measured from the center of the pipe are:
3/4 through 1-1/2 in. valves: 4 in. (101.6 mm).
2 through 3 in. valves: 5 in. (127.0 mm).
4 in. valves: 7 in. (177.8 mm).

WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
If flow is not in the direction of the arrow on the valve
body, the valve may not shut off.
1. Use new, properly reamed, pipe, free from chips.
2. Do not thread pipe too far (Fig. 4). Valve distortion or
malfunction may result from excess pipe in the valve.

3. Remove the protective caps from the ends of the valve.
Do not attach the valve actuator until the valve body
installation is complete.
4. Apply good quality pipe dope resistant to action of
LP gas, putting a moderate amount on the male threads
only. Use dope sparingly; if pipe dope lodges on the
valve seat, it will prevent proper closure.
5. Install valve with the gas flow in the direction indicated
by the arrow on the casting.
6. Apply a parallel jaw wrench only to the flat next to the
pipe being inserted (Fig. 5). A wrench applied to the
valve body itself, or to the end farthest from the pipe
being inserted, may distort the casting, causing a
malfunction. Do not use the valve for a lever.
7. Be sure the gas flow is in the same direction as the
arrow on the bottom of the valve body.
8. Use two threaded companion flanges, two gaskets
(included with valve), and 16 bolts (with washers and
nuts) for mounting a 4 in.-V5055 Valve. Mount a
threaded flange and gasket on each end of the valve as
shown in Fig. 6. Then screw the pipes into the threaded
flanges. Apply dope sparingly, and use wrenches and
vises properly as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
9. Make sure the power supply is disconnected from
the valve actuator. Then mount the actuator on the
valve body and complete the electrical and linkage
connections following the instructions packed with the
actuator.

Equipment Damage Hazard.
Operation without proper checkout can damage
the equipment.
1. Do not put the system into service until you have
satisfactorily completed the following Valve Leak
Test, all applicable tests described in the Checkout
section of the Instructions for the flame safeguard
control, and any other tests required by the burner
manufacturer.
2. All tests must be performed by a trained,
experienced flame safeguard control technician.
3. Close all manual fuel shutoff valves as soon as
trouble occurs.
After the installation is complete, cycle the valve several times
with the manual fuel shutoff cock closed. Make sure the valve
and actuator function properly. Also perform the Valve Leak
Test that follows before putting the valve into service.
no power to the safety shutoff valve (C) shown in Fig. 7.
2. Close the upstream manual gas cock (A).
3. Make sure the manual test petcock (F) is closed in the
leak test tap assembly (D).
4. Remove the leak test tap plug and connect the test
apparatus to the Leak Tap (D).
5. Close the downstream manual gas cock (E).
6. Open the upstream manual gas cock (A).
7. Run the safety shutoff valve (C) to its fully open position
(through the safety system); then immediately
de-energize the system to close the valve.
8. Immerse a 1/4 in. tube vertically 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) into
a jar of water.
9. Slowly open the test petcock (F).
10. When the rate of bubbles coming through the water
stabilizes, count the number of bubbles appearing
during a ten-second period. Each bubble appearing
during a ten-second period represents a flow rate of
approximately 0.001 cfh.
To meet U.S. requirements, leakage must not exceed the
Valve Leak Test (Fig. 7)
This is a test for checking the closure tightness of a gas
safety shutoff valve. It should be performed by qualified
personnel during the initial startup of a burner system, or
whenever the valve or valve bonnet is replaced (see
Service Information section). It is recommended that this
test also be included in the scheduled inspection and
maintenance procedures. For a periodic inspection test,
follow steps 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, and 17.

SERVICE INFORMATION
WARNING
Explosion and Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
1. Before servicing, turn off the gas supply and
disconnect all electrical power to the valve actuator.
2. Only qualified service technicians should attempt
to service or repair flame safeguard controls and
burner systems.
3. Do not disassemble the valve bonnet assembly;
the valve seat is not replaceable.
4. Failure to properly position and seat the seals in the
valve body may result in a hazardous gas leak.
Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance
Setup and follow a schedule for periodic inspection and
maintenance, including the burner, all other controls, and
the valve(s). It is recommended that the Valve Leak Test in
the Checkout section be included in this schedule. Refer to
the Instructions for the primary safety control for more
information.
BONNET SEAL
Valve Bonnet Replacement
The entire valve bonnet may be replaced without removing
the valve body from the gas line. Do not disassemble the
valve bonnet assembly; the valve seat is not replaceable.
For part numbers, refer to Replacement Parts in the
Specifications section. Complete instructions for replacing
the bonnet assembly are included with the replacement part.
Replacement of Seals (Fig. 8 or 9)
When removing the bonnet to inspect and clean the valve,
install new seals (see Replacement Parts in Specifications
section). Coat the new seals with the grease provided, and
position them in the valve body as shown in Fig. 8 or 9.
Failure to properly position and seat the seals in the valve
body may result in a hazardous gas leak.
After the new bonnet assembly is installed, or the bonnet is
removed for any reason, check for gas leakage around the
bonnet seal. Turn on the gas at the manual valve. Paint the
seal area with a rich soap and water solution. Bubbles
indicate a gas leak. If a leak is detected, check to see that
the bonnet screws are tight. If necessary, turn off the gas
again and remove the bonnet to be sure the seals are
properly seated.
