INTRODUCTION
The Baumann 51000 series control valve is optimally
designed for demanding low fl ow control and is a
perfect fi t where space is at a premium. This compact
package provides the connection integrity of fl anged
body globe valves while being signifi cantly lighter and
easier to install.
SCOPE OF MANUAL
This instruction manual includes installation,
maintenance, and parts information for the 51000
series control valve and type 16 actuator.
:$51,1*
Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eye wear when
performing any installation operations
to avoid personal injury.
Personal injury or property damage
caused by sudden release of pressure
or bursting of pressure retaining parts
may result if service conditions exceed
those for which the product was
intended. To avoid injury or damage,
provide relief valve for over pressure
protection as required by government
or accepted industry codes and good
engineering practices.
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.
:$51,1*
No person may install operate or maintain a 51000
series control valve without fi rst being fully trained and
qualifi ed in valve, actuator and accessory installation,
operation and maintenance, and carefully reading and
understanding the contents of this manual. If you have
any questions about these instructions contact your
®
Fisher
sales offi ce before proceeding.

This valve is intended for a specifi c
range of pressures, temperatures
and other application specifi cations.
Applying different pressures and
temperatures to the valve could
result in parts damage, malfunction
of the control valve or loss of control
of the process. Do not expose this
product to service conditions or
variables other than those for which
the product was intended. If you
are not sure what these conditions
are you should contact your Fisher

specifi cations. Provide the product
serial numbers (shown on the
nameplate) and all other pertinent
information.

If you move or work on an actuator
installed on a valve with loading
pressure applied, keep your hands
and tools away from the stem travel
path to avoid personal injury. Be
especially careful when removing the
stem connector to release all loading
on the actuator stem whether it be
from air pressure on the diaphragm
or compression in the actuator
springs.
Likewise take similar care when
adjusting or removing any optional
travel stop. Refer to the relevant
actuator Maintenance Instructions.

power or a control signal to the
actuator. Take precautions to
prevent actuator from suddenly
opening or closing the valve.
• Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
valve from the process pressure.
Relieve the process pressure from
both sides of the valve.
• Depending on the actuator
construction, it will be necessary
to manage the pneumatic actuator
spring pre-compression. It is
essential to refer to the relevant
actuator instructions in this manual
to perform safe removal of the
actuator from the valve.
If hoisting the valve, take precautions
to prevent personal injury or
property damage that could result
if the rigging slips. Be sure to use
adequate sized hoists and chains or
slings to handle the valve.
:$51,1*
Personal injury could result from
packing leakage. Valve packing is
tightened before shipment; however,
the packing might require some
readjustment to meet specifi c service
conditions.
MAINTENANCE
:$51,1*
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting
of parts. Before performing any
maintenance operations:
• Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eye wear when
performing any maintenance
operations to avoid injury.
• Disconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure, electric
• Use lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay
in effect while you work on the
equipment.
• The valve packing box may contain
process fl uids that are pressurized,
even when the valve has been
removed from the pipeline. Process
fl uids may spray out under pressure
when removing the packing
hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe
plug.
• Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed
by removing or shifting gasketed
parts, install a new gasket during
reassembly. This provides a good
gasket seal because the used
gasket may not seal properly.
:$51,1*
Avoid personal injury or property
damage by thoroughly cleaning the
line of all dirt, welding chips, scale,
oil or grease, and other foreign
material. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the seating and sealing
surfaces of the valve and result in
damage to the valve and release of
process materials.

Baumann™ 51000 Series Instructions
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing the valve in the pipeline,
thoroughly clean the line of all dirt, welding chips,
scale, oil or grease, and other foreign materials.
2. Install valve so the controlled fl uid will fl ow through
the valve body in the direction indicated by the
arrow.
3. A three-valve bypass permits removal of the
control valve from the line without shutting down
the system.
4. In case of a heat-insulated installation, insulate
the valve body only, not the bonnet.
ACTUATOR REMOVAL (Refer to Figures 1, 2, & 6)
1. For air to open actuators, lift actuator travel with air
to less en tension on the upper clamp nut (10).
NOTE
For Air-to-Close,
This is NOT
2. Gently tap upper clamp nut (10). With slight
down ward pressure on top of the actuator , unscrew
the upper clamp nut (10) completely.
3. Type 16 actuator assembly must be unscrewed
from stem adapter (26).
PLUG AND PACKING REPLACEMENT
(Refer to Figures 1 and 2)
required.
CAUTION
When adjusting the valve stem do not
grip the stem directly with pliers or a
wrench. This will damage the surface
of the stem, and cause damage to the
packing in the valve.
1. For valves supplied with type 16 actuators, remove
travel indicator disc (58). With hex jam nuts (27)
still tight, loosen stem adapter (26) from stem
adapter nut (31), and unthread stem adapter (26)
from plug stem (4).
For valves with rated Cv’s less than 1.0, unscrew
pack ing nut (1 1) and gen tly pull plug (4) out through
top of bon net (6).
For valves with rated Cv’s greater than or equal to
1.0, fol low the VAL VE DIS AS SEM BLY in struc tions
to fi rst re move the bonnet (6) be fore re mov ing the
plug (4).
2. Inspect or replace packing (9) and stem guide
(8).
3. Inspect valve plug (4) for wear or particle
accumulation.
VALVE DISASSEMBLY (Refer to Figures 1 and 2)
NOTE
Actuator must be removed from the valve
body be fore valve body disassembly.
CAUTION
The valve packing box may contain
process fl uids that are pressurized,
even when the valve has been
removed from the pipeline. Process
fl uids may spray out under pressure
when removing the packing hardware
or packing rings, or when loosening
the packing box pipe plug.
1. Remove bonnet hex nuts (7) and lift bonnet (6) off
valve body (1), which may include packing (9) and
plug assembly (4). (For alloy bodies, lift bonnet
fl ange (34) off from bonnet (6) and then lift bonnet
(6) off valve body (1).)
2. Remove bonnet gasket (5) and replace.
3. The cage subassembly (3) can be removed by
unscrewing with a flat screwdriver, using the
outer screw slot, and lifting out of valve body
(1). The cage sub as sem bly should be in spect ed
and cleaned with water or an approved solvent.
For valves with rated Cv's >/= 1.0, remove and
inspect plug guide (33) for wear. Replace if
necessary. Re place ment of the entire as sem bly
will be necessary if ex ces sive leak age or wear has
occurred in service.
NOTE
The seat cage gasket (2) must be replaced
when the cage subassembly (3) has been
removed. The seat cage will appear
oblong, this is to prevent loosening of the
soft seat.
VALVE REASSEMBLY
1. Place cage gasket (2) and cage subassembly (3)
in body (1).
2. Tighten the cage (3) hand tight plus 1/8 of a turn.
(For valves with rated Cv’s greater than or equal
to 1.0, insert plug guide (33).)
3. Seat plug (4) in body (1).
4. Place bonnet gasket (5) in body (1). Look at bonnet
(6) and body (1) for correct bonnet ori en ta tion.
5. Place bonnet (6) on valve body (1) and secure with
hex nuts (7). For alloy bodies, place bonnet (6) on
valve body (1), then place bonnet fl ange (34) over
