KEYSTONE FIGURE 221/222 BUTTERFLY VALVES
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood
DANGEROUS PRACTICES
Potentially dangerous practices:
• disregarding instructions
• improper use of product
• use of insufficiently qualified personnel.
Application pressure/temperature must not be
higher than the pressure/temperature limits
shown on the technical data sheet.
INTRODUCTION
The Keystone Figure 221/222 is a rubber lined
butterfly valve which has a maximum working
pressure of 16 bar over a temperature range of
-29°C to +120°C, depending on seat material.
The Figure 221/222 utilizes a molded seat
design.
FLANGE AND PIPELINE COMPATIBILITY
Keystone butterfly valves are designed for
installation between ANSI Class 125/150 flat or
raised faced flanges. Gaskets are not required.
Lined pipe, heavy wall pipe or flanges must
have a minimum allowable inside diameter at
the centered body face to clear the disc sealing
edge when opening the valve.
Weld neck flanges (flange ID approximates
flange bore) are recommended to ensure
maximum valve performance; however, slip-on
flanges may be used.
Do not weld near the valve, as this will result in
serious damage to the valve.
SAFETY RELATED INFORMATION
1. If in any doubt regarding any aspect of
Figure 221/222 valves, contact your local
Emerson sales office for guidance.
2. Only use properly qualified personnel for
installation.
3. Ensure that the pipeline is fully drained
or vented before removing the valve from
thepipeline.
4. Use appropriate protective equipment/
clothing, such as goggles, safety shoes,
industrial gloves.
5. This product is not intended for use in areas
where external fire is a potential hazard.
6. The piping design must take into account
the following factors and any other factors
which are not listed here, but known
to be relevant to the safe operation of
theinstallation.
6.1 Valve weights which are shown in
thetechnical data sheet.
6.2 Formation of condensate in gas
pipelines.
6.3 Elimination of turbulence and vortex
potential at the valve.
6.4 Pipeline vibrations.
6.5 The piping design should preclude
theoccurrence of water hammer at
thevalve.
7. The valve design has not taken into account
earthquake loading or traffic vibration.
8. The normal shelf life of the Figure 221/222
valve seat is 5 years under clean, dry
ambient and conditions without UV exposure
prior to installation.
9. Tighten all flange bolts as per the
nominated flange standards using the
diagonal sequence method.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation in pipeline
Figure 221/222 valves are bi-directional and
there is no need to identify upstream and
down stream orientation. These valves can be
installed in vertical or horizontal pipelines and
any intermediate orientation.
There is no restriction on the valve stem
position (vertical, horizontal or oblique),
although for slurry service and media, which
have a tendency to deposit sediment, the
recommended installation position is with
the stem horizontal and the lower disc edge
opening downstream.
Do not use flange gaskets or sealing
compounds. The Keystone seat face design
eliminates the need for gaskets.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance or lubrication are not
required.
INSTALLATION IN AN EXISTING SYSTEM
1. Consideration should be given to the
location of the valves in the piping
system. The valve should not be placed
too close to other valves, elbows, etc.
as its performance may be affected.
Itis recommended that the valve have a
minimum of six pipe diameters upstream
and four pipe diameters downstream
between it and other valves, elbows, etc.
inthe piping system.
2. Ensure that the flanges are clean,
undamaged and compatible with the valve.
3. Check that the gap between the flanges
can accommodate the valve face to face
dimension.
4. Spread the flanges using suitable tooling
such as flange spreaders to enable ease of
insertion of the valve between the flanges.
WARNING
Do not use the valve as a lever.
9. Remove any flange spreaders that
have been used and at the same time
tighten the flange bolts “hand tight”.
Ensurethatthe valve remains centered
to the pipeline axis by slowly closing the
valve (clockwiserotation of the disc stem)
to check that adequate clearance has been
maintained between the disc edge and the
pipeline bore.
10. Re-open the valve (counter clockwise
rotation of the disc stem) and tighten all
flange bolts as per flange standards using
the diagonal sequence method.
11. Operate the valve to the desired position.
OpenFlow
Preferred mounting
EXISTING SYSTEM
1. Spread the flanges with the adequate
tooling. Insert some flange bolts to bear
the valve
2. Open the valve and remove the flange
spreads.
5. Open the valve until the disc is free of
the seat but still within the valve body
(about 5° open).
6. Loosely insert two or more flange bolts
through the holes in the lower part of the
flanges to help support the valve.
7. Carefully slide the valve between the
flanges, center the valve body with the
pipeline axis, and insert the remaining
flange bolts.
8. Open the valve fully, checking that the disc
edge does not interfere with the pipeline
bore.
3. Close the valve clockwise, return to open
position and cross-tighten all bolting.
