Installation

WARNING

D Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure or bursting of parts may result if the valve assembly is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in the applicable product literature, the limits on the appropriate nameplates, or the mating pipe flange rating. Use pressure relieving devices as required by government or relevant industry codes and good engineering practices. If you cannot determine the ratings and limits for this product, contact your Emerson sales office before proceeding.

D To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.

D To avoid personal injury or property damage, use proper lifting and rigging practices while lifting, installing or removing the valve assembly. Be sure to use lifting and rigging equipment properly sized and selected for the weight and configuration of the valve assembly or component being lifted.

D Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened before shipment; however, the packing might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions.

D Many rotary shaft valves are not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed in a flammable, hazardous, oxygen service, or explosive atmospheres. An explosion is possible, due to the discharge of static electricity from the valve components. To avoid personal injury or property damage, make sure that the valve is grounded to the pipeline before placing the control valve assembly into service. Use and maintain alternate shaft to body bonding, such as a shaft to body bonding strap assembly.

D Rotary shaft valves are designed and intended for installation between flanges. Personal injury or property damage may result from improper installation. To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by the sudden release of pressure or bursting of parts, do not use or install rotary shaft valves (including single lug constructions) for dead end service.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING in the Maintenance section.

D When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end user. To avoid possible personal injury and because some valve/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office.

CAUTION

D Ensure that the valve and adjacent pipelines are free of foreign material that could damage the valve seating surfaces.

EU and EW Series Valves	Instruction Manual
February 2020	D102010X012

Maintenance

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance operations:

D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.

D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure.

D Do not remove the actuator while the valve is pressurized.

D Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.

D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring pre compression.

D Use lock out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D The valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.

D Many valve parts that are moving can injure you by pinching, cutting, or shearing. To help prevent such injury, stay clear of any moving part.

D Never apply pressure to a partially assembled valve.

D To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of a valve bonnet, loosen the bonnet by following these instructions: Do not remove a stuck bonnet by pulling on it with equipment that can stretch or store energy in any other manner. The sudden release of stored energy can cause uncontrolled movement of the bonnet. Loosen bonnet nuts approximately 3 mm (0.125 inch). Then loosen the body to bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens. If no fluid leaks from the joint, proceed with bonnet removal.

D As you remove parts, such as valve shafts, other parts, such as disks can fall from the valve body or suddenly move to another position in the valve. To avoid injury from falling or moving parts, be sure to support parts and be sure they are in a stable position as you disassemble the valve.

D Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Do not scratch the drive shaft or packing box wall while removing packing parts.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

Neither Emerson, Emerson Automation Solutions, nor any of their affiliated entities assumes responsibility for the selection, use or maintenance of any product. Responsibility for proper selection, use, and maintenance of any product remains solely with the purchaser and end user.

Description

All valve types covered in this manual (EUD, EUT, EUT 2, EWD, EWT, and EWT 2 valves) can be used for either throttling or on off control of a wide variety of liquids and gasses. They are single port, globe style valves with cage guiding, balanced valve plugs, and a push down to close action. EUT, EWT, and EWT 2 valves have a spring loaded PTFE seal between the plug and cage; the EUD and EWD valves have two graphite piston rings between the plug and cage. See figure 5, 6, or 7 for seal details.

EUT 2 and EWT 2 valves have a seat ring threaded into the cage. A spring loaded PTFE seal is used to seal between the seat ring and the valve body. Standard seating is metal to metal, but optional soft metal seats are also available. A typical EUT 2 or EWT 2 valve is shown in figure 5.

EUD and EWD valves have a seat ring bolted into the valve body with cap screws. Seating is metal to metal. A typical EUD or EWD valve is shown in figure 6.

EUT and EWT valves have a seat ring bolted into the valve body with cap screws. These valves have metal to metal seating and use PEEK anti extrusion rings in the plug seal arrangement to increase the upper temperature limit of the seal to 316_C (600_F). A typical EUT valve is shown in figure 7.

Cavitrol III, Whisper Trim III, and WhisperFlo trim cages are available in these valves. Cavitrol trim helps eliminate cavitation damage in liquid service in a properly sized valve and Whisper Trim III and WhisperFlo trim cages help attenuate aerodynamic noise in gas service.

Fisher WhisperFlo trim represents state of the art solutions for applications that demand ultimate aerodynamic noise attenuation.

EU and EW Series Valves	Instruction Manual
July 2017	D102010X012

Control valves with WhisperFlo cages provide additional aerodynamic noise attenuation in very demanding vapor or gas applications with high pressure drops. A WhisperFlo cage with an appropriately sized valve body is designed to reduce the noise level up to -40 dBA. For special applications, -50 dBA attenuation can be achieved.

Specifications

Typical specifications for these valves are shown in tables 1 and 2. Some of the specifications for a given valve assembly as it comes from the factory appear on the actuator nameplate if the valve is part of a complete control valve assembly.

Installation

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install the valve assembly where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or on the appropriate nameplates. Use pressure relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal injury.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.

CAUTION

The valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Because some valve body/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature range capabilities, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner.

WARNING

If you are hoisting the valve, use nylon slings to protect the surfaces.

Carefully position the slings to prevent damage to the actuator tubing and any accessories. Also, take care to prevent people from being injured in case the hoist or rigging slips unexpectedly. Refer to table 6 for valve assembly weights. It is important to use adequately sized hoists and chains or slings to handle the valve.

1.Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and associated equipment for any damage and any foreign material.

2.Make certain that the valve body interior is clean, that pipelines are free of foreign material, and the valve is oriented so that pipeline flow is in the same direction as the arrow on the side of the valve.

CAUTION

For long service life and more effective operation, the process liquid must be clean. If the valve being installed has a Whisper Trim, WhisperFlo, or Cavitrol Trim cage with small internal flow passages, impurities or entrained solids in the

Instruction Manual	EU and EW Series Valves
D102010X012	July 2017

process liquid may cause irreparable erosion damage to the seating surfaces and may plug cage holes and passages, causing cavitation damage. During valve installation or the plant cleaning cycle, install a strainer upstream from the valve to help free pipelines of foreign material.

3.The control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria. However, the normal method is with the actuator vertical above the valve. Other positions may result in uneven valve plug and cage wear and in improper operation. Support the actuator if it is not installed in the vertical position. For more information, consult your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner.

4.Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. You can leave internal elastomeric parts in place when welding. For flanged valves, use a suitable gasket between the valve and pipeline flanges.

CAUTION

Depending on valve body materials used, post weld heat treating might be required. If so, damage to internal elastomeric and plastic parts, as well as internal metal parts is possible. Shrunk fit pieces and threaded connections might also loosen. If post weld heat treating is to be performed, all trim parts should be removed. Contact your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for additional information.

5.With a leak off bonnet construction, remove the 1/4 NPT pipe plugs (key 14, figure 4) from the bonnet to hook up the leak off piping.

6.If continuous operation of the plant is required during inspection or maintenance of the valve, install a three valve bypass around the control valve assembly.

7.If the actuator and valve are shipped separately, refer to the actuator mounting procedure in the appropriate actuator instruction manual.

WARNING

Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened before shipment; however some readjustment will be required to meet specific service conditions.

If the valve has ENVIRO SEALt live loaded packing or HIGH SEAL ULF live loaded packing installed, this initial re adjustment will probably not be required. See the Fisher instruction manuals titled ENVIRO SEAL Packing System for Sliding Stem Valves (D101642X012) or HIGH SEAL ULF Live Loaded Packing System (D101453X012) (as appropriate) for packing instructions.

Maintenance

Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection and maintenance frequency depends on the severity of service conditions. This section includes instructions for packing lubrication, packing maintenance, trim maintenance, lapping seating surfaces, and valve plug maintenance. All maintenance operations may be performed with the valve in the line.

WARNING

Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
