Key numbers in this procedure are shown in figure 2 and 3 unless otherwise indicated.
Before installing the unit, observe all warning tags and:
1. Check for external physical damage.
2. Check for any visible leakage of gear oil from the Multiport Electric Actuator (MPA).
3. Visually inspect the inside of the Multiport through the group outlet port checking for damage, rust, and/or debris.
4. Verify the voltage requirement of the MPA (AC/DC) and connect power supply and signal circuits to test the
operation of the electric actuator and plug. Check for proper plug alignment at each port.
5. Inspect connecting piplines to be certain they are free of foreign material such as pipe scale or weld slag that could
damage the sealing surfaces fo the Multiport Flow Selector valve.
6. Provide appropriate flange gaskets and install them between the pipe flanges and valve body flanges. Tighten
flange bolting in a star pattern to ensure uniform compression of the gaskets.
Note
To prevent seal damage when hydrotesting external piping, position the plug midway between two inlet ports in order to equalize
pressure between the plug and valve body.
The Multiport Flow Selector plug/port alignment is factory adjusted when supplied with an actuator and should not require further
adjustment.

Refer to the Multiport Actuator (MPA) O&M Manual — Supplied by Bettis (MPA-400-0711). See page 19 for detailed
commissioning activities.
CAUTION
Replace pipe plug with breather before operating unit. The valve body may be pressurized from hydrostatic testing. Do not
remove any bolts or flanges for inspection until after the unit has been depressurized.
Circuit boards are susceptible to damage from static discharge when touched. Ensure that you ground yourself before
touching the knobs on the electric actuator.
Reinstallation of the Actuator Assembly
1. Using a manual wrench, rotate the plug (key 2) a few revolutions to verify it turns freely. Initial effort required to
rotate the plug could be high if the plug has not been rotated for an extended period of time.
2. Secure the actuator mounting bracket (key 43) to the bonnet using two cap screws (key 44), two travel indicator
studs (key 54), and four lock washers (key 56). For the NPS 2x4 construction, secure the lower plate to the bonnet
using two cap screws, two travel indicator studs and nuts, and four lock washers.
Regardless of size, apply an anti-seize lubricant (key 40) to the threaded portion of the fasteners. The cap screws
should be spaced 180 degrees apart from one another and 90 degrees apart from the travel indicator studs.
3. Secure the travel indicator plate to the travel indicator studs by tightening two cap screws (key 55). Proper
assembly has occurred if the lock washers have been placed between the travel indicator studs and travel indicator
plate and if flat washers (key 57) have been placed between the cap screws and travel indicator plate. For the 2x4
construction, place travel indicator spacers over the travel indicator studs and secure the travel indicator plate

Maintenance
Refer to figure 2 and 3, typical Multiport assembly and mounting drawings.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly rotate the plug.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the Multiport from process pressure. Relieve process
pressure from all parts of the valve. Drain the process media from all sides of the Multiport.
D Use lockout procedures to be sure the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D The tapered roller bearing area 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 separating the bonnet from the plug.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
The Multiport Flow Selector valve is shipped completely greased and lubricated. Routine maintenance of this valve is
recommended, especially if it has been stored for an extended amount of time. Maintenance steps include:
1. Keeping the tapered roller bearing (key 3) greased. A high temperature silicone grease (key 39) can be injected into
the bearing housing through the lube fitting (key 28).
2. Confirming proper alignment between the plug and inlet ports.
D Verify the correct placement of the travel indicator pointer (key 50) onto the coupler (key 47).
D Align the plug (key 2) with one of the inlet ports. Confirm the travel indicator pointer is in alignment with the
selected inlet port.
3. Visual inspection of the seal insert (key 12). The sealing surface of this insert should be smooth and completely
intact.
D If the seal insert needs to be replaced, replace all o-rings (key 5, 7, 14, 20, 25, and 26), backup rings (key 6, 8, 15,
and 21), rod seal (key 4), plug bushing (key 9), and wiper seals (key 24).

Note
The bonnet can be removed with the Multiport Electric Actuator still attached. If this is done, ensure proper orientation has been
maintained between the actuator and valve body once the bonnet has been re-installed onto the valve body. If this orientation has
not been maintained, recalibration of the actuator is required. One way to ensure proper orientation has been maintained is to
place alignment marks between the plug (key 2) and coupler (key 47) prior to removal of the bonnet (key 19).
1. Rotate the plug (key 2) to any unused inlet port. Remove the blind flange from this inlet port to gain access to the
seal assembly. Once the adjustment tool has been secured to the seal adjuster (key 18), rotate this tool clockwise
until it stops. This action unloads the wave springs (key 11, 17) and removes the forces generated between the seal
insert (key 12), valve body (key 1) and scraper (key 12)/valve body (key 1).
2. Remove the nuts (key 32) from the bonnet (key 19), lifting lugs (key 33), and the studs (key 31) from the body (key
31). Thread eye bolts into the jack screws holes provided in the bonnet. Raise the bonnet vertically until it clears the
plug (key 2) and move it to the side.
3. Remove the plug (key 2) from the valve body (key 1). The seal components should still be installed inside of the
plug.
4. Remove the seal assembly from the plug (key 2) using the adjustment tool as follows:
D Once the adjustment tool has been inserted into the seal adjuster (key 18) and secured, rotate the tool
counterclockwise until the seal adjuster disengages from the final thread on the plug.
Instruction Manual
D104239X012
D With the adjustment tool still secured to the seal adjuster (key 18), pull it out of the plug. All components that
make up the seal assembly are now outside of the plug.
5. Carefully remove the bearing cup (key 3) from the bonnet (key 19).
6. Inspect all components for damage. Replace any damaged parts and reassemble by following the Assembly
procedure in this manual.
Assembly
Refer to figures 2 and 3 when assembling the Multiport Flow Selector.
Ensure all parts are clean and in good condition before assembling the Multiport Flow Selector. Refer to figure 2 to
determine which components require lubrication.
Body (Key 1)
1. Visually inspect all internal and external surfaces and threads.
2. Install the plug bushing (key 9) into the lower section of the body.
Plug (Key 2)
1. Install the lower plug O-ring (key 8), with the correct number of backup rings (key 7). For ASME rated CL150, 300,
600, and 900 valves, install one backup ring above (on the side nearest to the bonnet) the O-ring. For CL1500 and
2500 rated Multiports, install two backup rings one on either side of the lower plug O-ring.
2. Lubricate and install the seal adjuster (key 18) by turning it clockwise (i.e. viewing toward the plug centerline) until
solid. Follow with the correct number of wave springs (key 17). For NPS 2x4, 3x6, and 6x16 constructions, install
three wave springs. For NPS 4x8 and 4x10 constructions, install four wave springs. Ensure the wave springs are
properly aligned and seated on the seal adjuster.
Note
If the wave springs are not properly aligned and seated then the seal assembly may not function properly.

3. Install the back up plate (key 16) against the shoulder in the plug (key 2).
4. Install the O-ring (key 14) onto the seal carrier (key 13). Install the seal assembly into the plug. Hand force should
only be required for proper installation.
5. Install the correct number of wave springs (key 11) followed by the scraper (key 10) into the plug over the seal
assembly. For NPS 2x4 constructions, install two wave springs and for NPS 3x6, 4x8, 4x10, and 6x16 constructions,
install one wave spring.
Ensure the scraper fits freely into the plug. Check by pushing the scraper into the plug using
both hands then letting go to see if it returns to its original position.
6. Lower the plug (key 2) into the body ensuring that the seal insert (key 12) and scraper (key 10) clear the bore of the
body (key 1). When installed, the plug rests on top of the plug bushing (key 9).
7. Lubricate the tapered bearing cone and rollers (key 3) using a high temperature silicone grease (key 39) and install
onto the plug.
Bonnet (Key 19)
1. Lubricate and press fit the bearing cup (key 3) into the bonnet using a high temperature silicone grease (key 39).
Lubricate the bearing cup and press fit it into the bonnet.
2. Install the backup ring (key 6), O-ring (key 5), and rod seal (key 4) into the bonnet bore. Rod seal is not required for
NPS 2x4 or 3x6 CL300, 600, and 900 rated valves.
3. Install the bonnet O-ring (key 20) into the groove of the bonnet. For NPS 4x8, 4x10, and 6x16 constructions, install
the backup ring above this O-ring.
4. Install the wiper seal (key 24), lube fitting (key 28), and vent plug (key 27). For NPS 4x10 and 6x16 constructions,
install the wiper seal on an external wiper retainer (key 24) with two extra O-rings (key 25 and 26).
5. Using two eye bolts threaded into the jack screw holes found on the bonnet, slowly lower the bonnet onto the
body. Be careful not to damage any soft parts when feeding the plug through the bonnet. The bonnet has been
properly positioned onto the body when the following has been achieved:
D The bolt holes in the bonnet have been aligned with the stud holes in the body.
D The centerline of the bonnet vent port has been aligned with the centerline of the group outlet of the body.
Excessive force should not be required to properly seat the bonnet onto the body. For NPS 2x4, 3x6, and 4x8
constructions, use hoist rings or eye bolts with 1/2 UNC threads. For NPS 3x6 CL1500, 4x10, and 6x16
constructions, use hoist rings or eye bolts with 3/4 UNC threads.
6. Lubricate studs (key 31) with an anti-seize lubricant (key 40) and thread into valve body (key 1). Place the
appropriate number of lifting lugs (key 33) over these studs. The placement of these lifting lugs should be equally
spaced with one being located directly above the group outlet. The placement of these lifting lugs is as follows:
D For NPS 2x4, 3x6, 4x8, and 4x10 constructions, place two lifting lugs equally spaced with one being located
directly above the group outlet port.
D For NPS 6x16 CL300, 600, and 900 constructions, place three lifting lugs equally spaced with two of them
straddling the group outlet port.
D For NPS 6x16 CL1500 and 2500 constructions, place four lifting lugs equally spaced with two of them straddling
the group outlet port.
7. Lubricate the threads and the bottom surface of the nuts (key 32) with an anti-seize lubricant (key 40) paste prior to
threading them on to the studs (key 31). Once all nuts have been threaded hand tight, tighten two nuts spaced
180-degrees apart to the recommended torque values per table 6. Rotate the plug (key 2) one complete revolution
to ensure that it rotates with minimal resistance. If the plug rotates smoothly, then proceed to tighten the
remaining nuts using an appropriate tightening pattern.
8. Using the lube fitting (key 28), fill the bearing bore with grease.
1. Prior to adjusting the seal assembly (key 12 and 13), align the plug (key 2) with an open inlet port and insert the
supplied adjustment tool. Once this tool has been secured to the seal adjuster (key 18), rotate this tool counter
clockwise until the scraper (key 10) touches the inside surface of the body (key 1). The resistance to rotate the
adjustment tool will increase once the scraper contacts the body. Remove the adjustment tool.
2. Rotate the plug (key 2) a few revolutions to check for binding or excessive turning torque. If the plug rotates
smoothly, then insert, secure, and rotate the adjustment tool counter clockwise to tighten the seal adjuster (key
18) to the appropriate torque value listed in table 7.
Note
Do not exceed the torque values listed in table 7. Exceeding these values may cause the valve to not function as intended.
