Description
Fisher 1261-R and 1261-E are pressure globe style single-port valves with metal seats, cage guiding and
push-down-to-close valve plug action.
The 1261-R is used for pressure-reducing service. Increasing the pressure in the diaphragm casing moves the actuator
stem downward.
The 1261-E is used for pressure-relief service. Increasing the pressure in the diaphragm casing moves the actuator
stem upward.
The 1261.00-R and 1261.00-E valves use an unbalanced plug. The 1261.01-R and 1261.01-E use balanced valve plugs.
(See bulletin 1100 Control Valves for different types of cages and balanced plugs).
Specifications
Specifications for the 1261-R and 1261-E are shown in table 1. Refer to separate manuals for information concerning
the actuator.

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 the appropriate nameplate. 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. 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 Process
Management sales office.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect it to be certain that the valve body cavity is free of foreign material. Clean out all
pipelines to remove scale, welding slag, and other foreign materials.
2. The control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria. If the regulator or
relief valve is to be used for steam service, the valve should be installed with the actuator positioned below the
pipeline, and the control line should be sloped down toward the diaphragm casing. This is to ensure that any forming
condensate will maintain a water seal to protect the diaphragm. For more information consult your Emerson Process
Management sales office. Flow through the valve must be in the direction indicated by the arrow cast on the valve.

3. Use accepted piping practices when installing the valve in the pipeline. Use a suitable gasket between the valve and
pipeline flanges.
4. It is recommended that a strainer be installed in the pipeline ahead of the regulator or relief valve to protect it while
in service. (see figure 2).
5. If continuous operation is required during inspection or maintenance, install a three-valve bypass around the valve
assembly.(see figure 2)
6. If the actuator and valve are shipped separately, refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for the
actuator mounting procedure.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened before shipment; however the packing
might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions.
Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
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 Isolate the regulator or relief valve from the system pressure, and relieve all internal pressure.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from 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 as described in the
disassembly actuator section..
D Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D The valve packing area 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.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Valve parts are subjects to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection and maintenance
frequency depends on the severity of service conditions The maintenance operations may be performed with the valve
in the line.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasket parts, a new gasket should be installed upon reassembly. This is
necessary to ensure a good gasket seal.

Figure 3. Typical Packing Assemblies for 1261 Valves
Maintenance information which follows for packing maintenance, replacing packing, trim maintenance, and repairing
are for the 1261 valve with plain bonnet. A 1261 valve with a plain bonnet is shown in figure 4.
Packing Maintenance
Key numbers refer to figure 3.
For spring-loaded single PTFE V-ring packing, the packing spring (key 112) maintains a sealing force on the packing. If
leakage is noted around the bushing of the packing flange (key 101), check to be sure the packing flange is touching
the bonnet (key 12 fig 4). If the packing flange is not touching the bonnet, tighten the packing flange nuts (key 103)
until the packing flange is against the bonnet. If leakage cannot be stopped in this manner, proceed to the Replacing
Packing procedure.
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 (key 103) to at least the minimum recommended torque in
table 6. However, do not exceed the maximum recommended torque in table 6, or excessive friction may result.

of a new valve stem is critical for making a good packing seal.
Iftheleakagecomesfromtheoutsidediameterofthepacking,itispossiblethattheleakageiscausedbynicksor
scratches around the packing box wall. While replacing the packing per the numbered steps below, inspect the valve
stem and packing box wall for nicks and scratches.
Replacing Packing
1. Isolate the pressure-reducing or pressure-relief 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. Release all pressure from the actuator. Use
lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Disconnect any leak-off piping from the bonnet. Disconnect the stem connector, and then remove the actuator
fromthevalvebyunscrewingthelegpostnuts(key11,figure6).
3. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 103) so that the pac king is not tight on the valve stem. Remove any travel
indicator parts and stem lock nuts from the valve stem threads.
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.
Note
The following step also provides additional assurance that the valve body f luid pressure has been relieved.
4. Hex nuts (key 11) attach the bonnet (key 12) to the valve body (key 1). Loosen these nuts approximately 3mm (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 t he bonnet off the valve stem.
CAUTION
When lifting the bonnet (key 12), be sure that the valve plug and stem remains in the valve and on the seat. This will avoid
damage to the seating surfaces as a result of the assembly dropping from the bonnet after being lifted part way out. The
parts are also easier to handle separately.
5. Unscrew the nuts (key 10) that secure the bonnet (key 12) to the valve (key 1). Carefully lift off the bonnet.
6. If the valve plug and stem start to lift with the bonnet, use a brass or lead hammer on the end of the stem and tap it
back down. Set the bonnet on a protective surface to prevent damage to the bonnet gasket surface.
7. Remove the bonnet gasket (key 22), and cover the opening in the valve to protect the gasket surface and prevent
foreign material from getting into the valve cavity.
8. Remove the packing flange nuts and packing flange (keys 103 and 101, fig 3). Carefully push out all the remaining
packing box parts from the bonnet using a rounded rod or other tool that will not scratch the packing box wall or
bottomguidebushing.Cleanthepackingboxandthemetalpackingboxparts.
9. 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, replace the damaged parts.

10. Remove the covering protecting the valve cavity, and install a new gasket set (key 22 and 34), making sure the
gasket seating surfaces are clean and smooth. Then slide the bonnet over the stem and onto the bonnet studs
(key 11).
Note
The bolting procedures in step 11 include - but are not limited to - ensuring that bolting threads are clean, and the nuts are evenly
tightened onto the studs in a crisscross pattern. 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. When the operating temperature has been
reached, perform the torquing procedure once again.

11. Lubricate the bonnet studs (key 10), nuts (key 11), and the surface between the nuts and bonnet with MoS2
(Molykote 111, paste with large solid content) lubricant or equivalent. Tighten the nuts (key 11) in a crisscross pattern
until the metallic stop at the bottom side of the bonnet flange contacts the body surface. this will guarantee that the
body-to-bonnet joint will withstand test pressures and application service conditions. Use bolt torques in table 7 as
guidelines.
12. Install new packing and the metal packing box parts according to the appropriate arrangement in figure 3. Place a
smooth-edged pipe over the valve stem, and gently tap each soft packing part into the packing box, being sure that air
is not trapped between adjacent soft parts.
13. Slide the packing flange (keys 101) into position. Lubricate the packing flange studs (key 102) and the faces of the
packing flange nuts (key 103). Install the packing flange nuts.
Note
The torque values discussed in step 14 and shown in table 6 are recommended guidelines only and are presented as a starting point
for this procedure. Tightening the packing flange nuts to a torque value that exceeds the table guidelines, in order to obtain a seal,
may indicate other problems.
14. For spring-loaded PTFE V-ring packing (figure 3), tighten the packing flange nuts until the packing flange (key 101)
contacts the bonnet.

For graphite packing (figure 3 ), tighten the packing flange nuts to the maximum recommended torque shown in
table 6. Then, loosen the packing flange nuts, and retighten them to the recommended minimum torque shown in
table 6.
For other packing types (figure 3), tighten the packing flange nuts alternately in small equal increments until one of
thenutsreachestheminimumrecommendedtorqueshownintable6.
Then, tighten the remaining flange nut until the packing flange is level and at a 90- degree angle to the valve stem.
Mount the actuator on the bonnet (key 12) and reconnect the actuator and valve plug stem according to the
procedure in the appropriate actuator instruction manual. Check for leakage around the top bushing when the valve
assembly is being put into service. Retighten the packing flange nuts as required.

Trim Maintenance
Key numbers in this section refer to figure 4.
Disassembly
1. Remove the actuator and the bonnet as described in steps 1 through 4 of the Replacing Packing procedure.
WARNING
Use care to avoid damaging the gasket sealing surfaces. The surface finish of the stem of the valve plug (key 8) is critical for
making a good packing seal. The seating surfaces of the seat ring (key 2) and, the plug (key 7) are critical for tight shutoff.
Assume all these parts are in good condition and protect them accordingly unless inspection reveals otherwise.
2. Packing parts can be removed from the bonnet if desired. Replace this part as described in the packing
maintenance procedure.
3. Liftthevalveplugandstem(key7and8)outofthevalve.Ifthevalveplugistobereused,tapeorotherwiseprotect

4. Remove the cage (key 6), the associated gaskets (key 22 and 34. If the cage is stuck in the valve, use a rubber mallet
to strike the exposed portion of the cage at several points around its circumference.
5. Remove the seat ring (key 2), seat ring adapter where used on a restricted-trim (key 2.1 fig 6.2) soft seat ring
construction, and seat ring gasket (key 4).
6. Inspect parts for wear or damage which would prevent proper operation of the valve. Replace or repair trim parts as
appropriate.
Assembly
1. Install the seat ring gasket ( key 4 ), and seat ring. With a PTFE seat ring construction, install the disk and disk
retaining, if is necessary.
2. Install the cage (key 6). Any rotational orientation of the case with respect to the valve body is acceptable.
3. Slide the valve plug (key 7 and 8) and stem assembly, into the cage. Make sure the seal ring is evenly engaged in the
entrance chamfer at the top of the cage to avoid damaging the ring.
4. Clean the bonnet and cage gaskets seating surfaces, and install a new gasket (key 22 and 34).
Note
If the packing is to be reused and was not removed from the bonnet, perform the following step carefully to avoid damaging the
packing with the stem threads.
