HAZARD POTENTIALS
• Disregarding of instructions
• Improper use of product
• Insufficiently qualified personnel
Ensure that valve materials are compatible with
the pipeline fluid.
Valve application to be within the pressure/
temperature limits indicated in the P/T diagram
of the Product Manual.
If in doubt contact factory.
Check the valve’s functionality on a regular basis.
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
For safety reasons, it is important to take the
following precautions before you start work on
the valve:
1.
Personnel making any adjustments to the valves
should utilize suitable equipment. All required
personal protection means should be worn.
2.
The line must be depressurized before installing
the valve. In case of dangerous pipeline fluids,
the pipeline should be drained and flushed
properly with an appropriate cleaning fluid.
3. Personnel trained in all aspects of manual and
mechanical handling techniques must carry
out handling of all valves.
4. Misuse of the valve is not allowed.
For example: the valve, handles, actuators or
other parts may not be used as ‘climbing tools’.
5. Ensure the valve pressure/temperature
specification as indicated on the identification
label, is within the pressure/temperature
limits of the application. A full pressure/
temperature diagram can be obtained from
the Product Manual. With the use of the figure
and trim number on the valve’s identification
label, the correct diagram can be found.
6. Ensure that valve materials are compatible
with the pipeline fluid.
7. The body material is ductile iron, which is a
known brittle material and heavy impacts such
as blows with a steel headed hammer should
be avoided. This is particularly important for
applications between 0 °C and -28 °C.
8.
The normal shelf life of the F320/322 valve
seat is 5 years under clean, dry ambient and
conditions with UV exposure prior to installation.
9. Tighten all flange bolts as per the nominated
flange standards using the diagonal sequence
method.

INSTALLATION
1. Handling and lifting should be performed
according the Maintenance and Installation
Instructions.
2. Keystone valves are bi-directional unless
fitted with a Flow Direction Arrow.
If a directional arrow is fitted then the valve
must be installed with the arrow pointing in
the direction of the flow.
3. For detailed installation instructions
refer to the Maintenance and Installation
Instructions for the specific product.
4. Preferred installation position of butterfly
valves is the shaft horizontal and the lower
disc-edge opening downstream.
5. Do not use the valve to spread the flanges.
6. Instructions whether to use or to omit flange
gaskets are stated in the Maintenance and
Installation Instructions.
7. In case the valve is used as spool piece
during erection of piping, do not finish weld
the flanges to the pipes with the valve bolted
between the flanges as this will result in
serious heat-damage to the seat.
8. Valve operation should be checked for
open - close positions. The disc should have
enough clearance from the pipeline in all
positions.
REPAIR
WARNING
The line must be depressurized before carrying
out any repairs to the valve. In case of dangerous
pipeline fluids, the pipeline should be drained and
flushed with an appropriate cleaning fluid. Failure
to do so may cause serious personal injury and/
or equipment damage. Before disassembling the
valve ensure the valve has been decontaminated
correctly from any harmful gasses or liquids
and that it is within a safe temperature range for
handling. Personnel making any adjustments
to the valves should utilize suitable equipment.
All required personal protection means should
be worn. Only qualified personnel trained in all
aspects of manual and mechanical handling
techniques must carry out lifting and handling of
valves.
Use Keystone original spare parts only.
For detailed information on valve (dis)assembly
and part replacement, refer to the Maintenance
and Installation Instructions.
MAINTENANCE
!! Read all warning labels fitted to the valve
before operation or maintenance !!
Check the valve’s functionality on a regular
basis.
No additional routine maintenance is required.
