EUT-2, EWD, EWT, and EWT-2 valves) can be used
metal-to-metal. A typical EUD or EWD valve is
shown in figure 8.
for either throttling or on-off control of a wide variety
of liquids and gasses. They are single-port,
globe-style valves with cage guiding, balanced valve
plugs, and a push-down-to-close action. EUT, EWT,
and EWT-2 valves have a spring-loaded PTFE seal
between the plug and cage; the EUD and EWD
valves have two graphite piston rings between the
plug and cage. See figure 6 for seal details.
EUT-2 and EWT-2 valves have a seat ring threaded
into the cage. A spring-loaded PTFE seal is used to
seal between the seat ring and the valve body.
Standard seating is metal-to-metal, but optional soft
metal seats are also available. A typical EUT-2 or
EWT-2 valve is shown in figure 7.
EUT and EWT valves have a seat ring bolted into
the valve body with cap screws. These valves have
metal-to-metal seating and use PEEK anti-extrusion
rings in the plug seal arrangement to increase the
upper temperature limit of the seal to 316_C
(600_F). A typical EUT valve is shown in figure 9.
Cavitrol III, Whisper Trim III, and WhisperFlo trim
cages are available in these valves. Cavitrol trim
helps eliminate cavitation damage in liquid service in
a properly sized valve and Whisper Trim III and
WhisperFlo trim cages help attenuate aerodynamic
noise in gas service.

Figure 2. Cutaway Detail of Fisher WhisperFlo Trim, Valve Body Typical
Fisher WhisperFlo trim represents state of the art
solutions for applications that demand ultimate
aerodynamic noise attenuation.
Control valves with WhisperFlo cages (figure 2)
provide additional aerodynamic noise attenuation in
very demanding vapor or gas applications with
high-pressure drops. A WhisperFlo cage with an
appropriately sized valve body is designed to reduce
the noise level up to 40 dBA. For special
applications, 50 dBA attenuation can be achieved.
Specifications
Typical specifications for these valves are shown in
tables 1 and 2. Some of the specifications for a
given valve assembly as it comes from the factory
appear on the actuator nameplate if the valve is part
of a complete control valve assembly.
Installation
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property
damage resulting from the sudden
release of pressure, do not install the
valve assembly where service
conditions could exceed the limits
given in this manual or on the
appropriate nameplates. Use
pressure-relieving devices as required
by government or accepted industry
codes and good engineering practices.
Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eyewear when
performing any installation operations
to avoid personal injury.
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
The valve configuration and
construction materials were selected
to meet particular pressure,
temperature, pressure drop, and
controlled fluid conditions. Because
some valve body/trim material
4
Page 5
Instruction Manual
August 2010
combinations are limited in their
pressure drop and temperature range
capabilities, do not apply any other
conditions to the valve without first
contacting your Emerson Process
Management sales office.
WARNING
If you are hoisting the valve, use nylon
slings to protect the surfaces.
Carefully position the slings to prevent
damage to the actuator tubing and any
accessories. Also, take care to prevent
people from being injured in case the
hoist or rigging slips unexpectedly.
Refer to table 6 for valve assembly
weights. It is important to use
adequately sized hoists and chains or
slings to handle the valve.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and
associated equipment for any damage and any
foreign material.
2. Make certain that the valve body interior is clean,
that pipelines are free of foreign material, and the
valve is oriented so that pipeline flow is in the same
direction as the arrow on the side of the valve.
CAUTION
For long service life and more effective
operation, the process liquid must be
clean. If the valve being installed has a
Whisper Trim, WhisperFlo, or Cavitrol
Trim cage with small internal flow
passages, impurities or entrained
solids in the process liquid may cause
irreparable erosion damage to the
seating surfaces and may plug cage
holes and passages, causing
cavitation damage. During valve
installation or the plant cleaning cycle,
install a strainer upstream from the
valve to help free pipelines of foreign
material.
3. The control valve assembly may be installed in
any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria.
However, the normal method is with the actuator
vertical above the valve. Other positions may result
in uneven valve plug and cage wear and in improper
EU and EW Series Valves
operation. Support the actuator if it is not installed in
the vertical position. For more information, consult
your Emerson Process Management sales office.
4. Use accepted piping and welding practices when
installing the valve in the line. You can leave internal
elastomeric parts in place when welding. For flanged
valves, use a suitable gasket between the valve and
pipeline flanges.
CAUTION
Depending on valve body materials
used, post weld heat treating might be
required. If so, damage to internal
elastomeric and plastic parts, as well
as internal metal parts is possible.
Shrunk-fit pieces and threaded
connections might also loosen. If post
weld heat treating is to be performed,
all trim parts should be removed.
Contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office for additional
information.
5. With a leak-off bonnet construction, remove
the 1/4 NPT pipe plugs (key 14, figure 5) from the
bonnet to hook up the leak-off piping.
6. If continuous operation of the plant is required
during inspection or maintenance of the valve, install
a three-valve bypass around the control valve
assembly.
7. If the actuator and valve are shipped separately,
refer to the actuator mounting procedure in the
appropriate actuator instruction manual.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from
packing leakage. Valve packing was
tightened before shipment; however
some readjustment will be required to
meet specific service conditions.
If the valve has ENVIRO-SEALt live-loaded packing
or HIGH-SEAL ULF live-loaded packing installed,
this initial re-adjustment will probably not be
required. See the Fisher instruction manuals titled
ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System for Sliding-Stem
Valves (D101642X012) or HIGH-SEAL ULF
Live-Loaded Packing System (D101453X012) (as
appropriate) for packing instructions.

Maintenance
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be
inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection
and maintenance frequency depends on the severity
of service conditions. This section includes
instructions for packing lubrication, packing
maintenance, trim maintenance, lapping seating
surfaces, and valve plug maintenance. All
maintenance operations may be performed with the
valve in the line.
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 Always wear protective gloves,
clothing, and eyewear when
performing any maintenance
operations to avoid personal injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure, electric power,
or a control signal to the actuator. Be
sure the actuator cannot suddenly
open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
valve from process pressure. Relieve
process pressure on both sides of the
valve. Drain the process media from
both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading
pressure and relieve any actuator
spring precompression.
D Use lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the
equipment.
D The valve packing box 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 removing the packing
hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.

engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against

1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure,
release pressure from both sides of the valve body,
and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all
pressure lines to the power actuator, release all
pressure from the actuator, and use lock-out
procedures to prevent injury while you work on the
equipment.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed
by removing or shifting gasketed
parts, a new gasket should be installed
upon reassembly. This is necessary to
ensure a good gasket seal because the
used gasket might not seal properly.
Note
If the valve has ENVIRO-SEAL
live-loaded packing or HIGH-SEAL ULF
live-loaded packing installed, see the

Packing Lubrication
If a lubricator or lubricator/isolating valve (figure 3) is
provided for PTFE/composition or other packings
that require lubrication, it will be installed in place of
the 1/4 NPT pipe plug (key 14, figure 5). Use a

silicon-base lubricant. To operate the lubricator, turn
the cap screw clockwise to force the lubricant into
the packing box. The lubricator/isolating valve
operates the same way except the isolating valve
must first be opened and then closed after
lubrication is completed.

Packing Maintenance
This procedure does not cover ENVIRO-SEAL or
HIGH-SEAL packing; refer to separate manuals for
instructions on those packing types.
Key numbers are shown in figure 4 unless otherwise
indicated.
For spring-loaded single PTFE V-ring packing, the
spring (key 8) maintains a sealing force on the
packing. If leakage is noted around the packing
follower (key 13), check to be sure the shoulder on
the packing follower is touching the bonnet. If the
shoulder is not touching the bonnet, tighten the
packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 5) until the
shoulder is against the bonnet. If leakage cannot be
stopped in this manner, proceed to the Replacing
Packing section.
If there is undesirable packing leakage with other
than spring-loaded packing, first try to limit the
leakage and establish a stem seal by tightening the
packing flange nuts.
August 2010
any of the following procedures, inspect the valve
stem and packing box wall for nicks and scratches.
Replacing Packing
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure,
release pressure from both sides of the valve body,
and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all
pressure lines to the power actuator, release all
pressure from the actuator, and use lock-out
procedures to prevent injury while you work on the
equipment.
2. Remove any leak-off piping from the bonnet.
Disconnect the stem connector, and then remove
the actuator from the valve by unscrewing the hex
nuts (key 26, figure 5).
3. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 5)
so that the packing is not tight on the valve stem.
Remove any travel indicator parts and stem locknuts
from the valve stem threads.
CAUTION
If the packing is relatively new and tight on the stem
and if tightening the packing flange nuts does not
stop the leakage, it is possible that the valve stem is
worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. The
surface finish of a new valve stem is critical for
making a good packing seal. If the leakage comes
from the outside diameter of the packing, it is
possible that the leakage is caused by nicks or
scratches around the packing box wall. If performing
8
Avoid damage to the seating surfaces
caused by the valve plug and stem
assembly dropping from the bonnet
after being lifted part way out.
When lifting the bonnet (key 1, figure
5), either be sure that the valve plug
and stem assembly remains in the
valve and on the seat or, temporarily
install a valve stem locknut on the
Page 9
Instruction Manual
August 2010
EU and EW Series Valves
CU4317 / IL
Figure 5. Typical Globe Valve Bonnet
valve stem. This locknut will prevent
the valve plug and stem assembly
from dropping out of the bonnet.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property
damage caused by uncontrolled
movement of the bonnet, loosen the
bonnet by following the instructions in
the next step. Do not remove a stuck
bonnet by pulling on it with equipment
that can stretch or store energy in any
other manner. The sudden release of
stored energy can cause uncontrolled
movement of the bonnet. If the cage
sticks to the bonnet, proceed carefully
with bonnet removal.
Note
The following step also provides
additional assurance that the valve
body fluid pressure has been relieved.
4. Hex nuts (key 16, figures 7 or 8) attach the
bonnet to the valve body. Loosen these nuts or cap
screws approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch). Then loosen
the body-to-bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking
the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and valve
body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until
the bonnet loosens. If no fluid leaks from the joint,
remove the nuts completely and carefully lift the
bonnet (key 1, figure 5).
5. Set the bonnet on a protective surface to prevent
damage to the bonnet gasket surface.
6. Whenever the bonnet has been removed, replace
the bonnet gasket and the cage gasket (keys 10
and 11, figures 7 and 8). Remove the bonnet gasket.
7. Lift the valve plug and stem assembly out of the
valve body and set it on a protective surface. If the
valve plug is to be reused, protect the valve plug
seating surface to prevent scratches.

Trim Maintenance section.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the valve cavity,
packing box wall, and packing
surfaces, observe the instructions in
the next three steps.
10. Cover the opening in the valve body to protect
the gasket surface and prevent foreign material from
getting into the valve cavity.
11. Remove the packing flange nuts, packing
flange, upper wiper, and packing follower
(keys 5, 3, 12, and 13, figure 5). Carefully push out
all the remaining packing parts from the valve side of
the bonnet using a rounded rod or other tool that will
not scratch the packing box wall. Clean the packing
box and the metal packing parts.
12. Inspect the valve stem threads and packing box
surfaces for any sharp edges that might cut the
packing. Scratches or burrs could cause packing box
leakage or damage to the new packing. If the
surface condition cannot be improved by light
sanding or honing with a tool similar to an
automotive brake-cylinder hone, replace the
damaged parts.

13. Remove the covering protecting the valve
cavity, and install a new cage gasket (key 11,
figure 7 and 8), making sure the gasket seating
surfaces are clean and smooth.
14. Re-install the trim parts by following the Trim
Replacement section. Install a new bonnet gasket
(key 10, figure 7 and 8).
Note
Proper performance of the tightening
procedures in step 15 compresses the
bonnet and cage gaskets (keys 10 and
11, figure 7 and 8) enough to seal the
body-to-bonnet joint.
The bolting procedures in step 15
include--but are not limited
to--ensuring that bolting threads are
clean and evenly tightening the hex
nuts onto the studs in a crisscross
pattern. Because of the boltup
characteristics of the gaskets,
tightening one nut may loosen an
adjacent nut. Repeat the crisscross
tightening pattern several times until
each nut is tight and the
body-to-bonnet seal is made.
15. Lubricate the stud bolts (key 15, figure 7 and 8)
with anti-seize lubricant, slide the bonnet over the
stem and onto the bolts, and secure with the stud
bolt nuts (key 16, figure 7 and 8), using accepted
bolting procedures during tightening so that the
body-to-bonnet joint will withstand test pressures
and application service conditions. Refer to table 4
for bolting torque guidelines.
16. Install new packing and the metal packing box
parts according to the appropriate arrangement in
figure 4. Place a smooth-edged pipe over the valve
stem, and gently tap each soft packing part into the
packing box one piece at a time, being sure that air
is not trapped between adjacent soft parts.
17. Slide the packing follower, upper wiper, and
packing flange (keys 13, 12, and 3, figure 5) into
position. Lubricate the packing flange studs (key 4,
figure 5) and the faces of the packing flange nuts
(key 5, figure 5). Replace the packing flange nuts.

18. For spring-loaded PTFE V-ring packing,
tighten the packing flange nuts until the shoulder on
the packing follower (key 13, figure 5) contacts the
bonnet.
For graphite packing, tighten the packing flange
nuts to the maximum recommended torque shown in
table 3. Then, loosen the packing flange nuts and
retighten them to the recommended minimum torque
shown in table 3.
For other packing types, tighten the packing flange
nuts alternately in small, equal increments until one
of the nuts reaches the minimum recommended
torque shown in table 3. Then, tighten the remaining
flange nut until the packing flange (key 3, figure 5) is
at a 90-degree angle to the valve stem.
19. Mount the actuator on the valve assembly, and
reconnect the actuator and valve stem according to
the procedure in the appropriate actuator instruction
manual. Check for leakage around the packing
follower when the valve is being put into service.
Retighten the packing flange nuts as required.

the seal ring (key 28). The seating
surfaces of the valve plug (key 2) and
seat ring (key 9) are critical for proper
shutoff. Assume all these parts are in
good condition, and protect them
accordingly unless inspection reveals
otherwise.
3. Packing parts can be removed if desired.
Replace these parts as described in the Packing
Replacement section.
4. Lift the valve plug and stem assembly out of the
valve body and set it on a protective surface. If the
valve plug is to be reused, protect the valve plug
seating surface to prevent scratches.
5. Install screws or bolts into the tapped holes in the
top of the cage assembly (key 3), and carefully lift it
out of the valve body. Remove the gaskets (keys 10
and 11).
6. Proceed as appropriate:
For EUT-2 or EWT-2 valves (figure 7), the valve
has a seat ring seal ring (key 6). Inspect this seal
ring, and remove it if replacement is necessary. The
seat ring is screwed into the cage and secured with
two tack welds, one on each side of the cage.
Remove the tack welds by grinding or filing them off.
Trim Removal
Except where indicated, key numbers in this section
are shown in figure 8 for EUT-2 and EWT-2 valves
and in figure 7 for EUD and EWD valves.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure,
release pressure from both sides of the valve body,
and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all
pressure lines to the power actuator, release all
pressure from the actuator, and use lock-out
procedures to prevent injury while you work on the
equipment.
2. Remove the actuator and the bonnet according to
steps 2 through 5 of the Replacing Packing Section.
CAUTION
Use care to avoid damaging gasket
surfaces.
The surface finish of the valve stem
(key 7) is critical for making a good
packing seal. The inside surface of the
cage or cage assembly (key 3) is
critical for smooth operation of the
valve plug and for making a seal with
D For all sizes except the NPS 12 and 16 x 12,
there are slots cut in the seat ring. Insert a bar
through the slots and turn the seat ring out of the
cage.
D For the NPS 12 and 16 x 12, there are two
3/8-inch UNC tapped holes in the bottom of the seat
ring. Screw cap screws into these holes. Use a bar
to pry against the cap screws and turn the seat ring
out of the cage.
For EUD, EWD, EUT, and EWT valves (figure 8),
unscrew the seat ring cap screws (key 49). Install
screws or bolts into the tapped holes in the top of the
seat ring (key 9) and carefully lift it out of the valve
body. Remove the gasket (key 13).
7. Inspect parts for wear or damage that would
prevent proper operation of the valve. Replace or
repair trim parts according to the following Lapping
Seating Surfaces or Valve Plug Maintenance
procedures as appropriate.
Lapping Seating Surfaces
A certain amount of leakage should be expected
with metal-to-metal seating in any valve body. If the
leakage becomes excessive, however, the condition

be machined out rather than ground out.) Use a
good quality lapping compound of a mixture of 280
to 600-grit. Apply the compound to the bottom of the
valve plug.
Assemble the valve to the extent that the cage or
cage assembly is in place and the bonnet is bolted
to the valve body. A simple handle can be made
from a piece of strap iron locked to the valve plug
stem with nuts. Rotate the handle alternately in each
direction to lap the seats. After lapping, remove the
bonnet, and clean the seat surfaces. Completely
assemble the valve as described in the Trim
Replacement section, and test the valve for shutoff.
Repeat the lapping procedure if leakage is still
excessive.
Valve Plug Maintenance
Except where indicated, key numbers in this section
are shown in figure 8 for EUT-2 and EWT-2 valves
and in figure 7 for EUD and EWD valves.
CAUTION
For valves with a PTFE seal ring
(figure 6), if replacing the valve plug
seal ring (key 28), be careful not to
scratch the surfaces of the ring groove
in the valve plug or any of the surfaces
of the replacement ring, or the
replacement ring may not seal
properly.
1. Remove the valve plug (key 2) according to the
Disassembly section.
2. For seal-ring constructions, carefully pry or cut
the seal ring (key 28, figure 6) from its groove in the
plug.

procedure. Avoid jerking sharply on the ring.
Stretching the seal ring over the valve plug might
make it seem loose when it is in the groove, but it
will shrink to its original size after you have installed
the plug into the cage.
3. For piston-ring constructions, each of the
piston rings (key 28, figure 6) is in two pieces;
remove the pieces.
Each new graphite piston ring is furnished as a
complete ring, and each must be broken into two
approximately equal portions. Do this by placing the
ring on edge on a smooth, hard surface and striking
the ring squarely with a hammer. Be sure to match
the broken ends when installing the ring sections in
the valve plug grooves.
CAUTION
Never reuse an old stem (key 7) with a
new valve plug. Using an old stem with
a new plug requires drilling a new pin
hole in the stem. This weakens the
stem and may cause it to fail in
service. However, a used valve plug
may be reused with a new stem.
4. To replace the valve stem (key 7), drill out the pin
(key 8) and unscrew the stem from the valve plug.
5. Screw the new stem tightly into the valve plug.
Drill through the stem, using a 1/4-inch diameter drill
for the 31.8 mm (1-1/4 inch) stem diameter used in
this valve. Use the hole in the valve plug as a guide.
Remove any chips or burrs, and drive in a new pin to
lock the assembly.
Trim Replacement
Except where indicated, key numbers are shown in
figure 7 and 8.
Install the replacement spring-loaded seal ring with
the open side facing the top or bottom of the valve
plug, depending on flow direction. The open side of
the seal ring should face up (toward the actuator) in
flow-up installations and down in flow-down
installations.
To install the seal ring, first lubricate it with
general-purpose, lithium-base lubricant. Then gently
stretch the seal ring and work it over the top edge of
the valve plug. Give the PTFE material in the seal
ring time to cold flow during the stretching

1. Proceed as appropriate:
For EUT-2 or EWT-2 valves:
For all sizes except NPS 12 and 16 x 12, turn the
seat ring (key 9) into the cage (key 3) with a bar
inserted through the seat ring slots.
For NPS 12 and 16 x 12, insert cap screws in the
two 3/8-inch tapped holes in the bottom of the seat
ring (key 9). Use a bar to pry against the cap screws
and turn the seat ring (key 9) into the cage (key 3).

methods and materials to protect all
sealing surfaces of the new trim parts
while assembling the individual parts
and during installation in the valve
body.
1. Apply a suitable high-temperature lubricant to the
inside diameter of the Bore Seal plug seal. Also,
lubricate the outside diameter of the valve plug
where the Bore Seal plug seal must be pressed into
the proper sealing position (figure 10).
2. Orient the Bore Seal plug seal for correct sealing
action based on the process fluid flow direction
through the valve.

10. Remove the existing valve actuator and bonnet
following the appropriate instructions in the
Replacing Packing section of this manual.
CAUTION
Do not remove the existing valve stem
from the valve plug unless you are
planning to replace the valve stem.
Never reuse an old valve stem with a
new plug or reinstall a valve stem after
it has been removed. Replacing a valve
stem requires drilling a new pin hole in
the stem. This drilling weakens the
stem and may cause failure in service.
However, a used valve plug may be
reused with a new valve stem.
11. Remove the existing valve stem and plug, cage,
and seat ring from the valve body following the
appropriate instructions in the Trim Removal section
of this manual.
12. Replace all gaskets according to appropriate
instructions in the Trim Replacement section of this
manual.
13. Install the new seat ring, cage, valve
plug/retainer assembly, and stem into the valve body
and completely reassemble the valve package
following the appropriate instructions in the Trim
Replacement section of this manual.
CAUTION
To avoid excessive leakage and seat
erosion, the valve plug must be
initially seated with sufficient force to
overcome the resistance of the Bore
Seal and contact the seat ring. You can
correctly seat the valve plug by using
the same force calculated for full load
when sizing your actuator. With no
pressure drop across the valve, this
force will adequately drive the valve
plug to the seat ring, thus giving the
Bore Seal a predetermined permanent
set.
With full actuator force applied and the
valve plug fully seated, align the
actuator travel indicator scale with the
lower end of valve travel. Refer to the
appropriate actuator instruction
EU and EW Series Valves
manual for information on this
procedure.

Trim Removal (Bore Seal Constructions)
1. Remove the valve actuator and bonnet following
the appropriate instructions in the Replacing Packing
section of this manual.
CAUTION
To avoid leakage when the valve is
returned to service, use appropriate
methods and materials to protect all
sealing surfaces of the trim parts
during maintenance.
Use caution when removing piston
ring(s) and the Bore Seal to avoid
scratching any sealing surface.
CAUTION
Do not remove the valve stem from the
plug/retainer assembly unless you are
planning to replace the valve stem.
Never reuse an old valve stem with a
new plug or reinstall a valve stem after
it has been removed. Replacing a valve
stem requires drilling a new pin hole in
the stem. This drilling weakens the
stem and may cause failure in service.
However, a used valve plug may be
reused with a new valve stem.
2. Remove the plug/retainer assembly (with Bore
Seal), cage, and seat ring from the valve body
following the appropriate instructions in the Trim
Removal section of this manual.
3. Locate the staked thread on top of the valve plug
