Introduction

Scope of Manual

This instruction manual includes installation, maintenance, and parts information for NPS 1 through 4 Fisher ET and EZ
valves with Trim Cartridge. Refer to separate manuals for instructions covering the actuator and accessories.

Do not install, operate, or maintain an ET or EZ valve 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 sales office

1. The pressure/temperature limits in this manual and any applicable standard or code limitation for valve should not be exceeded.

2. Trim Cartridge contains a pressure retaining bonnet. Ensure Trim Cartridge is suitable for the application's required pressure class rating.

3. Certain bonnet bolting material selections may require a CL600 easy-e valve assembly to be derated. Contact your Emerson sales office

Description

Trim Cartridge is a complete control valve repair solution that incorporates a full trim recommended spare parts list
(RSPPL) replacement plus a new bonnet in a single, factory assembled repair cartridge. Trim Cartridge has the same fit
and function of traditional easy-e trim, making it backwards compatible into existing easy-e constructions. In addition
to being pre-assembled, each Trim Cartridge is tested to ensure CL V shutoff capability and has the live loaded
ENVIRO-SEAL™ packing set, allowing for a simplified installation that reduces trim repair time and complexity.

Specifications

Typical specifications for these valves are shown in table 1.

Installation

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 the limits given in table 1 or on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or
damage, provide a relief valve for overpressure 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.

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. Since some body/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 sales office

Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and pipelines for any damage and any foreign material which may cause
product damage.

.

1. Isolate the control valve from the pipeline pressure.

2. Release pressure and drain process media from both sides of the control valve.

3. If using a power actuator, also shut off all pressure lines to the power actuator, and release all pressure from the
actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while the working on the
equipment.

4. Disconnect the operating lines from the actuator and any leak‐off piping from the bonnet.

5. Disconnect the stem connector and remove the actuator from the valve by unscrewing the yoke locknut. Remove
any travel indicator parts and stem locknuts from the valve stem threads.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury due to leaking fluid, avoid damaging gasket sealing surfaces on the valve body, bonnet, and cage.
The surface finish of the valve stem is critical for making a good packing seal. Unless inspection reveals otherwise, assume
all these parts are in good condition and protect them accordingly.

6. Loosen the body/bonnet nuts (figure 2, key 2) approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch). Then loosen the body‐to‐bonnet
gasket joint by either rocking the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and valve. Work the prying tool around the
bonnet until the bonnet loosens. If no fluid leaks from the joint, remove the nuts completely (see figure 6, key 2).

7. Remove the bonnet and all trim components.

8. Remove and discard the cage gasket (key 4) and the bonnet gasket (key 3).

9. Clean and inspect the cage and bonnet gasket surfaces.

10. Install a new cage gasket (key 4) and a new bonnet gasket (key 3) into the valve body.

11. Install the new Trim Cartridge (key 1) into the valve body.

Note

Trim Cartridge is a single use repair solution. Once the spiral wound gasket has been compressed during installation, it may not
provide the proper seat load if the Trim Cartridge is removed and reinstalled.

12. Apply lithium-based lubricant to body-to-bonnet bolting, install bolting, and tighten in a criss-cross pattern using
the torque guidelines in table 2.

Note

The proper bolting procedures include‐‐but are not limited to‐‐ensuring that bolting threads are undamaged and lubricated, and
evenly tightening the cap screws, or the nuts onto the studs, in a criss-cross pattern. Tightening one cap screw or nut may loosen
an adjacent cap screw or nut. Repeat the crisscross tightening pattern several times until each cap screw or nut is tight and the
body‐ to - bonnet seal is made.

Proper performance of the bolting procedures compresses the spiral wound gasket enough to both load and seal the cage gasket
(key 4). It also compresses the bonnet gasket (key 3) enough to seal the body‐to‐bonnet joint.
