Installation and maintenance instructions for Class 150 knife gate valves
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Clarkson OS1700 knife gate valve is a bidirectional zero leakage ASME Class 150 rated
knife gate valve. Designed for the rigors of high
pressure slurry and oil sands applications.
Please take note of specific installation tags
provided with each OS1700 series valve.
Compliance to ASME B16.34 Class
150, Valves—Flanged and MSS SP 135
(Short Face-to-Face).
Bi-directional valve, no special concerns in
relation to direction of flow are required when
installing the valve.
COMPLIANCE LABEL
Mating line flanges must be properly aligned.
Slip-on or weld flanges can be used. Never try
to make up for misaligned pipe flanges by the
line bolting.
Flange fasteners should be tightened in a
uniform manner using a cross-pattern to
prevent distortion of the valve.
Pipe supports and/or expansion joints should
be used to minimize pipe loads on valves.
OS1700 valves are suitable for use in either
vertical or horizontal lines. If installation is
other than vertical, additional support will be
required for cylinder actuated valves.

INITIAL INSPECTION
1. Examine entire valve and report any damage
or discrepancies immediately.
2. Accessories, if any, including solenoids,
limit switches, positioners, etc., are
tested for functionality prior to shipment.
Examine carefully for damage which may
occur during shipment.
3. Operators: Standard manual hand wheels
may be shipped loose for field installation.
ØF
C2
C1
It is necessary to use a pipe wrench or large
crescent wrench to properly tighten the hand
wheel retaining nut. Be sure to fully tighten.
4. Packing assembly: The packing gland bolts
should be checked and adjusted to obtain a
first time packing seal. Packing gland nuts
may become slightly loose when valve is
shipped. Field adjustment is expected and
desired. (Tighten just enough to stop any
leakage. Overtightening may increase valve
operating torque and shorten packing life).
