I. INTRODUCTION

Elkhart Brass Single Body apparatus valves are specially designed for reliability, ease of installation and ease of use.

BALL VALVE

• Single Body Ball Valves are available in 1.0” (SB10) & 1.5” (SB15) body sizes with integral direct or remote actuators.

• The bodies are constructed of corrosion resistant brass, and the ball is constructed from durable stainless steel.

• Dual self-adjusting seats provide bidirectional sealing.

• Adapters (end caps) are constructed of brass and do not require O-rings that could cut or tear during servicing.

• Swing out construction allows for easy access to internal waterway.

• Handle position and direction of operation can be changed easily.

installationisessentialtosafeoperation.Inaddition,thefollowingpointsshouldbeadheredtoinorder toassurethesafetyofequipmentandpersonnel.

• All personnel who may be expected to operate this equipment must be thoroughly trained in its safe and proper use.

• Become thoroughly familiar with the hydraulic characteristics of this equipment.

• Always open and close valves slowly to avoid water hammer.

• Keep ngers and hands clear of moving parts.

• Do not use lubrication on the valve ball or seats.

• Do not wrench on the valve body or the opposite adapters.

• Clear debris from waterway before the valve is installed.

• Foreign materials such as metal chips could jeopardize the sealing capability of the valve. Any drilled holes required in the plumbing should be added, and the chips removed from the waterway, prior to installation of the valve.

• Do not exceed rated operating pressure for any valve as listed in Table 1.

IV. QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Adapters to Valve Body

A) Move valve to close position. See Figure 1.

Ball in closed position

Figure 1

B) Tighten the four adapter bolts in an X pattern (see Figure 2) by rst tightening all bolts to 1/2

their torque specs, and then tightening them to their full torque spec. This will help prevent misalignment. See Table 2 for adapter bolt sizes and torque requirements.

Valve Size Torque

SB10 1/4 - 20 60-70 in-lbs

SB15 5/16 - 18 100-115 in-lbs

2. Handle Position

The remote and direct handle actuators may easily have the handles repositioned in 45° incre-

ments. The following details the handle reposition procedure.

A) Remote and Direct Handle Positioning

1. Remove the 3/16 - 16" bolt and washer that locks the handle in position.

Figure 3

2. Remove the handle completely from the shaft and rotate to the desired location in 45°

increments. Remove and rotate the stop plate 90° to reverse valve ball rotation.

Remove handle and rotate in 45° increments

Figure 4

3. Place handle back on actuator shaft in new location and reattach washer and 3/8 - 16"

bolt. Use Loctite #242 thread locker or equivalent.

V. MAINTENANCE

1. Ball Valve Seal Kits

The Single Body Valve body assemblies require very little maintenance. If it does become necessary

to service a ball valve body, seal kits are available to provide all O-rings and seats required in the valve assembly. Additional kits are available that also include the valve ball in the case of severe waterway debris damage.

Part Number Description Valve Size

65499000 Seal Kit SB10

65982000 Seal Kit with Stainless Steel Ball SB10

65983000 Seal Kit SB15

65984000 Seal Kit with Stainless Steel Ball SB15

Table 3

Swing out instructions for accessing internal waterway.

1. Remove three of the end-cap bolts on each side of the valve away from the desired swing-out direction.

2. Loosen the remaining two bolts (one on each side of the valve).

3. Rotate the valve out from the end caps pivoting on the remaining two end cap bolts.

4. After servicing the valve, ensure the two seats are secured in the valve body. Ensure the valve ball is in the closed position, and rotate the valve back in line with the end caps.

5. Replace all the end cap bolts and tighten in an X pattern to the torque specied in Table 2 (page 8).

9

Do not lubricate the valve ball or seats.
