Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual provides installation, operation, maintenance, and parts information for Fisher Vee-Ball V150S
(NPS 3 through 12) rotary control valves (see figure 1).
Refer to separate manuals for information concerning the actuator, positioner and accessories.
Do not install, operate, or maintain V150S valves without being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and
accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important to
carefully read, understand, and follow all the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you
have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales office before
proceeding.
Description
The V150S Slurry Vee-Ball valve shown in figure 1 mates with CL150 raised face flanges. Rugged construction, highly
wear-resistant trim materials, and an unrestricted straight through flow path make the design ideal for controlling the
most abrasive of slurries.
A shaft with a choice of drive connections will allow a variety of power operated actuators and valve positioners or
controllers to be used.
The design is particularly effective in minimizing erosive damage to the adjoining pipework, thereby providing greater
operational safety and service life when compared with other valve types.

Specifications

Installation
WARNING
Safe work practices should be followed when handling the valve and actuator.
Some types of ceramic trim, including PSZ, can create a spark under certain conditions when an edge of one ceramic part is
struck against a second ceramic part with enough force. Do not use ceramic trim where the process fluid has volatile or
combustible properties.
The valve drive shaft is not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed. Personal injury or property damage could
result from an explosion caused by a discharge of static electricity from valve components if the process fluid or the
atmosphere around the valve is flammable. If the valve is installed in a hazardous area, electrically bond the drive shaft to
the valve.
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 either the valve body rating or the mating pipe flange joint rating. To a void such
injury or damage, provide a relief valve for overpressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes
andgoodengineeringpractices.

Instruction Manual
D103164X012
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. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve
materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end-user. 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 Process Management sales office.
1. Install the valve in the direction of the flow arrow fitted to the valve body.
2. Install the valve with the shaft axis in the horizontal position.
3. If required, fit a bonding strap assembly (key 131) to the drive shaft (key 8) with the clamp, (key 130, figure 3) and
connect the other end of the bonding strap assembly to the valve body with actuator mounting cap screw.
4. If the valve and actuator have been purchased separately or if the actuator has been removed, mount the actuator
according to the Actuator Mounting section and the appropriate actuator instruction manual.
5. The actuator can be right- or left-hand mounted with the shaft in a horizontal orientation as shown in figure 1. If
necessary, refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for actuator installation and adjustment
procedures.
