Description

These single-port valves have cage guiding, quick-change trim, and unbalanced push-down-to-close valve plug action.
Valve configurations are as follows:

ES–Globe style valve (figure 1) with metal-to-metal seating as standard for all general applications over a wide range
of pressure drops and temperatures, and metal-to-PTFE seating is optional for more stringent shutoff requirements.

EAS–Angle valve version of ES, used to facilitate piping or in applications where a self draining valve body is required.

Specifications

Typical specifications for these valves are shown in table 1.

Installation

WARNING

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

Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed
where service conditions could exceed the limits given in table 1 or on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or
damage, provide a relief valve for over-pressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes and
good engineering practices.

Instruction Manual

D100397X012

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

When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Since some body/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
Process Management sales office.

Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and pipelines for any damage and any foreign material which may cause
product damage.

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

2. Make certain the valve body interior is clean, that pipelines are free of foreign material, and that the valve is
orientedsothatpipelineflowisinthesamedirectionasthearrowonthesideofthevalve.

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 improper operation. With some valves, the actuator may also need to be supported when it is not
vertical. For more information, consult your Emerson Process Management sales office.

4. Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. Internal elastomeric parts may stay
in place during the welding procedure. For flanged valves, use a suitable gasket between the valve and pipeline
flanges.

CAUTION

Depending on valve body materials used, post weld heat treating may 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 may also loosen. In
general, if post weld heat treating is to be performed, all trim parts should be removed. Contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office for additional information.

5. With a leak-off bonnet construction, remove the pipe plugs (keys 14 and 16, figure 8) to hook up the leak-off
piping. If continuous operation is required during inspection or maintenance, install a three-valve bypass around
the control valve assembly.

6. 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, the packing
might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions.

Instruction Manual

D100397X012

Valves with ENVIRO-SEAL live-loaded packing or HIGH-SEAL Heavy-Duty live-loaded packing will not require this initial
re-adjustment. See the Fisher instruction manuals titled ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System for Sliding-Stem Valves or
Heavy-Duty Live-Loaded Packing System (as appropriate) for packing instructions. If you wish to convert your present
packing arrangement to ENVIRO-SEAL packing, refer to the retrofit kits listed inthePartsKitssub-sectionneartheend
of this manual.

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, and ENVIRO-SEAL bellows seal replacement. All maintenance operations
may be performed with the valve in the line.

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or damage to property from sudden release of pressure or uncontrolled process fluid. Before starting
disassembly:

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

D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal

injury.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the

actuator cannot suddenly open the valve.

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

on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.

D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring 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 may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the

pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.

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

media.

CAUTION

Follow instructions carefully to avoid damaging the product surfaces, which could result in damage to the product.

Note

Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, a new gasket should be installed upon reassembly.
This is necessary to ensure a good gasket seal since the used gasket may not seal properly.

Note

If the valve has ENVIRO-SEAL or HIGH-SEAL live-loaded packing installed, refer to instruction manuals ENVIRO-SEAL Packing
System for Sliding-Stem Valves, D101642X012, or HIGH-SEAL Live-Loaded Packing System, D101453X012, for packing

instructions. Figure 9 shows a typical HIGH-SEAL Packing system. Figures 10, 11, and 12 show typical ENVIRO-SEAL packing
systems.

If the valve has an ENVIRO-SEAL bellows seal bonnet installed, referto this manual. See the ENVIRO-SEAL Bellows Seal and Bonnet
section for information on the bellows seal bonnet.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from fire or explosion, do not lubricate packing used in oxygen
service or in processes with temperatures over 260_C (500_F).

If a lubricator or lubricator/isolating valve (figure 2) is provided for PTFE/composition or other packings that require
lubrication, it will be installed in place of the pipe plug (key 14, figure 8). Use a good quality silicon-base lubricant.
Packingusedinoxygenserviceorinprocesses with temperatures over 260_C(500_F) should not be lubricated. To

operate the lubricator, simply turn the cap screw clockwise to force the lubricant into the packing box. The
lubricator/isolating valve operates the same way except the isolating valve must first be opened and then closed after
lubrication is completed.

Instruction Manual

D100397X012

Packing Maintenance

Key numbers refer to figure 3 for PTFE V-ring packing and to figure 5 for PTFE/composition packing, unless otherwise
indicated.

For spring-loaded single PTFE V-ring packing, the spring (key 8, figure 3) maintains a sealing force on the packing. If
leakage is noted around the packing follower (key 13, figure 3), check to be sure the shoulder on the packing follower
is touching the bonnet. If the shoulder is not touching the bonnet, tighten the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 8)
until the shoulder is against the bonnet. If leakage cannot be stopped in this manner, proceed to the replacing packing
procedure.

If there is undesirable packing leakage with other than spring-loaded packing, first try to limit the leakage and
establish a stem seal by tightening the packing flange nuts.

If the packing is relatively new and tight on the stem, and if tightening the packing flange nuts does not stop the
leakage, it is possible that the valve stem is worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. The surface finish of a new
valve stem is critical for making a good packing seal. If the leakage comes from the outside diameter of the packing, it
is possible that the leakage is caused by nicks or scratches around the packing box wall. If performing any of the
following procedures, inspect the valve stem and packing box wall for nicks and scratches.

Replacing Packing

WARNING

Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.

1. Isolatethecontrolvalvefromthelinepressure, and release pressure from the valve.

2. Disconnect the operating lines from the actuator and any leak-off piping from the bonnet. Disconnect the stem
connector, then remove the actuator from the valve by unscrewing the yoke locknut (key 15, figure 8) or the hex
nuts (key 26, figure 8).

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of the bonnet, loosen the bonnet by
following the instructions in the next step. 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.
If the cage sticks to the bonnet, proceed carefully with bonnet removal.

Note

The following step also helps to provide additional assurance that the valve body fluid pressure has been relieved.

3. Hex nuts (key 5, figure 8) attach the bonnet to the valve. Loosen these nuts or cap screws approximately 3 mm (1/8
inch). Then loosen the body-to-bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking the bonnet or prying between the bonnet
and valve body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens.

4. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 8) so that the packing is not tight on the valve stem. Remove any
travel indicator parts from the valve stem threads.

CAUTION

Avoid damage to the seating surface caused by the valve plug and stem assembly dropping from the bonnet after being
lifted part way out. When lifting the bonnet, temporarily install a valve stem locknut on the valve stem. This locknut will
prevent the valve plug and stem assembly from dropping out of the bonnet.

If the cage starts to lift with the bonnet, tap it with a plastic mallet, or other soft material, to be sure it stays in the valve.

5. Completely remove the cap screws (not shown) or hex nuts (key 16; figure 13, 14, or 15) that bolt the bonnet and
valve together and carefully lift the bonnet off.

6. Remove the locknut and separate the valve plug and stem from the bonnet. Set the parts on a protective surface to
prevent damage to gasket or seating surfaces.

Instruction Manual

D100397X012

CAUTION

To prevent possible product damage, cover the opening in the valve in the following procedure to prevent foreign material
from getting into the valve body cavity.

7. Remove the bonnet gasket (key 10, figure 13 through 15) and cover the opening in the valve to protect the gasket
surface and prevent foreign material from getting into the valve body cavity.

8. Remove the packing flange nuts, packing flange, upper wiper, and packing follower (keys 5, 3, 12, and 13, figure 8).
Carefully push out all the remaining packing parts from the valve side of the bonnet using a rounded rod or other
tool that will not scratch the packing box wall. Clean the packing box and the metal packing parts.

9. Inspect the valve stem threads and packing box surfaces for any sharp edges which might cut the packing.
Scratches or burrs could cause packing box leakage or damage to the new packing. If the surface condition cannot
be improved by light sanding, replace the damaged parts by following the appropriate steps in the Trim
Maintenance procedure.

10. Remove the covering protecting the valve body cavity and install a new bonnet gasket (key 10, figure 13 through

15), making sure the gasket seating surfaces are clean and smooth. Then slide the bonnet over the stem and onto
the stud bolts (key 15, figure 13, 14, or 15) or onto the valve body cavity if cap screws (not shown) will be used
instead.

Note

Proper performance of the bolting procedures in step 11 compresses the spiral wound gasket (key 12, figure 13 through 15) or
load ring (key 26, figure 14) enough to both load and seal the seat ring gasket (key 13, figure 13, 14, or 15). It also compresses the
outer edge of the bonnet gasket (key 10, figure 13 through 15) enough to seal the body-to-bonnet joint.

The proper bolting procedures in step 11 include--but are not limited to--ensuring that bolting threads are clean, and evenly
tightening the cap screws, or the nuts onto the studs, in a crisscross pattern. Because of the boltup characteristics of spiral wound
gaskets, tightening one cap screw or nut may loosen an adjacent cap screw or nut. Repeat the crisscross tightening pattern several
times until each cap screw or nut is tight and the body-to-bonnet seal is made. When the operating temperature has been
reached, perform this torquing procedure once again.

11. Install bolting, using proper bolting procedures during tightening so that the body-to-bonnet joint will withstand
test pressures and application service conditions. The bolt torques in table 3 may be used as guidelines.

12. Install new packing and the metal packing box parts according to the appropriate arrangement in figure 3, 5, or 7.
For split ring packing, alternate the positions of the splits to avoid creating a leak path. Place a smooth-edged pipe
over the valve stem and gently tap each soft packing part into the packing box, being sure that air is not trapped
between adjacent soft parts.

13. Slide the packing follower, upper wiper, and packing flange (keys 13, 12, and 3, figure 8) into position. Lubricate
the packing flange studs (key 4, figure 8) and the faces of the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 8). Install the
packing flange nuts.

14. For spring-load ed PTFE V-ring packing, tighten the packing flange nuts until the shoulder on the packing follower
(key 13, figure 8) contacts the bonnet.

For ENVIRO-SEAL or HIGH-SEAL live-loaded packing, refer to the note at the beginning of the Maintenance section.

For graphite packing, tighten the packing flange nuts to the maximum recommended torque shown in table 4. Then,
loosen the packing flange nuts, and retighten them to the recommended minimumtorqueshownintable4.

For other packing types, tighten the packing flange nuts alternately in small equal increments until one of the nuts
reaches the minimum recommended torque shown in table 4. Then, tighten the remaining flange nuts until the
packing flange is level and at a 90-degree angle to the valve stem.
