Installation
WARNING
D Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure or bursting of parts may result if the valve
assembly is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in the applicable product literature, the
limits on the appropriate nameplates, or the mating pipe flange rating. Use pressure‐relieving devices as required by
government or relevant industry codes and good engineering practices. If you cannot determine the ratings and limits
for this product, contact your Emerson sales office
D To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation
operations.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage, use proper lifting and rigging practices while lifting, installing or
removing the valve assembly. Be sure to use lifting and rigging equipment properly sized and selected for the weight
and configuration of the valve assembly or component being lifted.
D 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.
D Many rotary shaft valves are not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed in a flammable, hazardous, oxygen
service, or explosive atmospheres. An explosion is possible, due to the discharge of static electricity from the valve
components. To avoid personal injury or property damage, make sure that the valve is grounded to the pipeline before
placing the control valve assembly into service. Use and maintain alternate shaft‐to‐body bonding, such as a
shaft‐to‐body bonding strap assembly.
D Rotary shaft valves are designed and intended for installation between flanges. Personal injury or property damage may
result from improper installation. To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by the sudden release of
pressure or bursting of parts, do not use or install rotary shaft valves (including single lug constructions) for dead‐end
service.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING in the Maintenance section.
D 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. To avoid possible
personal injury and because some valve/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 proceeding.
CAUTION
D Ensure that the valve and adjacent pipelines are free of foreign material that could damage the valve seating surfaces.

Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance operations:
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear.
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.
D Do not remove the actuator while the valve is pressurized.
D Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring pre‐compression.
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 might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.
D Many valve parts that are moving can injure you by pinching, cutting, or shearing. To help prevent such injury, stay
clear of any moving part.
D Never apply pressure to a partially assembled valve.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of a valve bonnet, loosen the bonnet by
following these instructions: 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.
Loosen bonnet nuts approximately 3 mm (0.125 inch). Then loosen the body‐to‐bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking
the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens.
If no fluid leaks from the joint, proceed with bonnet removal.
D As you remove parts, such as valve shafts, other parts, such as disks can fall from the valve body or suddenly move to
another position in the valve. To avoid injury from falling or moving parts, be sure to support parts and be sure they are
in a stable position as you disassemble the valve.
D Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Do not scratch the drive shaft or packing box wall while removing
packing parts.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.

Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual provides information on installation, adjustment, maintenance, and parts ordering for the
Vonk choke valve. Refer to separate instruction manuals for information about the valve positioner and other
accessories used with the valves.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a Vonk valve (see figure 1) 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
Description
Vonk choke valves are of the rotary type. The valve can be used for tight shut off service to Class V of ANSI/FCI 70-2
standard for contaminated fluids and high-pressure drops. The throttling mechanism consists of two polished disks,
each provided with an eccentric orifice. One disk is fixed into the body; the other one is rotated to achieve Class V seat
leakage performance.
Contact your Emerson sales office for additional information.
Temperature Range
Vonk choke valves are designed for three temperature ranges:
The Standard version (STD) equipped with O-rings.
The Low Temperature version (LT) equipped with special LT-seals.
The High Temperature version (HT) is the same as the LT version but has an extended bonnet construction to
withstand high temperatures.
Each version is available with special fugitive emissions (FE) or fire safe (FS) seal option depending on application and
choke valve type. Refer to table 1 for configurations covered in this manual.

Installation
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.
To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts, 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.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any other hazards that may be present from exposure to process media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions indicated when the valve was ordered. Because 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
1. Carefully remove the valve from the shipping package (box or pallet) avoiding any damage to the valve or, in case of
automated valves, to the electric or pneumatic / hydraulic actuator or instrumentation.
2. The valves are shipped with the ends protected with caps and a thin layer of protective grease. Before installing the
valve, remove the protective caps from the valve. Clean carefully and then de-grease both surfaces with a solvent.
Clean the inside of the valve to ensure there are no solid objects such as pieces of wood, plastic or packing materials
within the valve or on the valve seat. The valve must be free of all foreign matter.
3. Confirm that the materials of construction listed on the valve nameplate are appropriate for the service intended
and are as specified.
.
Vonk chokes valves can be mounted in any position. Installation of the valve must match the flow direction is indicated
by the arrow on the valve-body.
Unless otherwise recommended by Emerson:
1. The pipe ends must be properly aligned and supported so as to prevent the valve being subjected to unnecessary
stress induced by connecting piping.
2. It is recommended to perform piping flushing before installation of valve.
3. After the down-stream flange (outlet flange), the piping shall be straight over a certain length (depending on the
flow medium, the fluid phase and the pressure drop over the valve), but at least 1 meter (39-inches).
4. For choke valves provided with pneumatic actuators, the air pressure to the actuator shall be at least 4.5 bar (65
psi), and a maximum of 8 bar (116 psi), unless specified otherwise. Clean, dry compressed air can be used for the
actuator. If a valve positioner is used, instrument air has to be used; do not install a drip feed lubricator in the supply
line to the positioner.
5. During the installation of the valve, materials, such as connecting flanges, gaskets and bolting shall be used,
appropriate for the design conditions of the application.
6. If present, do not cover or stop up the drain channels located at the actuator top-flange of the bonnet.
CAUTION
Make sure that the operating limits of the valve are the same or higher than the operating limits of the piping system. See
the nameplate of the choke valve.

Operation
Manual: Manual shut-off valves are designed to 'shut' when the handwheel is turned clockwise and 'open' when the
handwheel is turned counter-clockwise (including valves with gearbox operators). Handwheels of electric actuators (or
pneumatic actuators) are for emergency operation only.
Pneumatic / Hydraulic: Choke valves fitted with a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator must be connected and operated in
accordance with the actuator manufacturer instructions. Refer to the actuator instruction manual.
Electric: Choke valves fitted with an electrical actuator must be connected and operated in accordance with the
actuator manufacturer instructions. Refer to the actuator instruction manual.
Positioner: Choke valves fitted with a positioner must be connected and operated in accordance with the positioner
manufacturers instructions. Refer to the positioner instruction manual.
Maintenance of Valve Internals
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected regularly and replaced when necessary. The frequency
of inspection and replacement depends on the severity of service conditions.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or uncontrolled movement of parts.
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
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 pre‐compression.
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.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
WARNING
Follow instructions carefully to avoid damaging the valve sealing and packing surfaces, which could result in excessive
leakage at shutoff or allow process fluid to leak to atmosphere.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, install a new gasket during reassembly. This ensures a
good gasket seal because the used gasket may not seal properly.

Prior to any inspection or maintenance, refer to the appropriate parts list and associated figure for the choke valve
type and seal configuration.
After the choke valve has been disassembled, a new set of soft seals must be used. The trim and bonnet can be
replaced and/or inspected without removing the body out of the line.
For inspection of the choke valve, an internal wrench tool is required.
Disassembly
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
1. Isolate the choke 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.
2. Unscrew the air tubing. In case of a conventional type valve positioner, check the cam in the valve positioner (zero
position open when the actuator is spring to close, and zero position closed when the actuator is spring to open).
3. Unscrew the bonnet nuts and lift the bonnet and actuator from the body.

4. Check the position of the turning fork. If the mark on top of the turning fork is opposite the inlet flange, the valve is
in the closed position. (See figure 3.)
5. Screw the bolts of the internal wrench tool into the thread holes of the body-protecting bush. (See figure 4.)
6. The complete trim can be removed out of the body by turning down the nuts of the internal wrench tool.
7. Disassemble the internals by removing the locking wire, and lift the protection bush from the bean.
8. Examine the internals for foreign material that may affect the operation of the choke.
9. Inspect the front disk and bean. The surface where the orifice is located should be smooth and free of any damage.
If there is any visible damage, then the parts need to be replaced.
10. Clean the inside of the body very carefully. Special attention has to be given to places where soft seals are situated.
Clean the sealing surfaces and inspect them for corrosion, pitting or scratches. After inspection, lightly grease the
sealing faces (universal grease).

CAUTION
If a 'spring-energized seal' is used, use only a PTFE spray lubricant on the spring energized seal sealing face.
Assembly
1. Put one drop of light oil on the seating surface, and place the front disk on the bean.
2. Put the turning fork on the front disk, and ensure the mark on top of the turning fork is in the same position as the
orifice in the front disk.
3. Install the scraper over the turning fork. Lightly grease it with an anti-seize lubricant.
4. Place the guide-strip of the internal and the scraper around the front disk. Mount the protecting bush. The
protecting bush inlet hole should point to the same direction as the orifice of the bean. (See figure 3.)
5. Replace the locking-wire.
6. Using the turning fork, turn the orifice of the front disk and bean to a fully open position for valves with a
spring-to-open actuator. For an actuator with a spring-to-close action, the orifice has to be put in a position of 180
degrees (90 degrees for NPS 1 choke valves) from the fully open position.
7. Mount the new seal around the bean.
8. Grease (universal grease) the seal slightly and insert the complete internal in the body.
CAUTION
If a 'spring-energized seal' is used, use only a PTFE spray lubricant on the spring energized seal sealing face.
9. Recheck the position of the turning fork and put spring in position.
10. Place the bonnet and the actuator on the body. Be sure that the adjusting pin is placed in the hole of the protecting
bush.
11. Grease the stud bolts with anti-seize lubricant and tighten the nuts crosswise. See Retightening of Nuts Body
