1 USING KÄMMER VALVES AND ACTUATORS
CORRECTLY
1.1 General
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on Kämmer products. Product users and
maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this
bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing
any maintenance.
DANGER:

information, which may not be very obvious even to
qualified personnel. Compliance with other, not
particularly emphasised notes, with regard to
transport, assembly, operation and maintenance and
with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the
operating instruction, product documentation or on
the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults,
which in themselves might directly or indirectly cause
severe personal injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective clothing
Kämmer products are often used in problematic
applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dangerous, toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular
valves with bellows seals point to such applications.
When performing service, inspection or repair
operations always ensure, that the valve and actuator
are depressurised and that the valve has been cleaned
and is free from harmful substances. In such cases
pay particular attention to personal protection
(protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).
1.4 Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of
their training, experience and instruction and their
knowledge of relevant standards, specifications,
accident prevention regulations and operating
conditions, have been authorised by those responsible
for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary
work and who can recognise and avoid possible
dangers.

1.6 Spare parts
Use only Kämmer original spare parts. Kämmer
cannot accept responsibility for any damages that
occur from using spare parts or fastening materials
from other manufactures. If Kämmer products
(especially sealing materials) have been on store for
longer periods check these for corrosion or deterioration before using these products. Fire protection for
Kämmer products must be provided by the end user.
1.7 Service / repair
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to
products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to.
Modifying this product, substituting nonfactory parts,
or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
in this instruction could drastically affect performance
and be hazardous to personnel and equipment, and
may void existing warranties. Between actuator and
valve there are moving parts. To avoid injury
Flowserve provides pinch-point-protection in the form
of cover plates, especially where side-mounted
positioners are fitted. If these plates are removed for
inspection, service or repair special attention is
required. After completing work the cover plates must
be refitted.
Apart from the operating instructions and the
obligatory accident prevention directives valid in the
country of use, all recognised regulations for safety
and good engineering practices must be followed.
WARNING:
STOP!
for repair or service Kämmer must be provided with
Before products are returned to Kämmer
a certificate which confirms that the product has been
decontaminated and is clean. Kämmer will not accept
deliveries if a certificate has not been provided (a form
can be obtained from Kämmer).
1.8 Storage
In most cases Kämmer Products are manufactured
from stainless steel. Products not manufactured from
stainless steel are provided with an epoxy resin
coating. This means that Kämmer products are well
protected from corrosion. Nevertheless Kämmer
products must be stored adequately in a clean, dry
environment. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the
flange faces to prevent the ingress of foreign
materials. These caps should not be removed until
the valve is actually mounted into the system.
1.9 Valve and actuator variations
These instructions cannot claim to cover all details
of all possible product variations, nor in particular
can they provide information for every possible
example of installation, operation or maintenance.
This means that the instructions normally include only
the directions to be followed by qualified personal
where the product is being used for is defined
purpose. If there are any uncertainties in this respect
particularly in the event of missing product-related
information, clarification must be obtained via the
appropriate FLOWSERVE sales office.
2 UNPACKING
2.1 Each delivery includes a packing slip. When unpacking, check all delivered valves and accessories using
this packing slip.
2.2 Larger valves can be lifted using slings on the yoke
rods or, if present, on the lugs provided for this purpose. If slings are used, attach them so that the outer
tubing or attaching parts are not damaged.
WARNING:
of gravity of the valve may be above the lifting point.
STOP!
If slings are used, be aware that the centre
In this case, secure or support the valve against rotating, to prevent damage or personnel injury.
2.3 Report transport damage to the carrier immediately.
2.4 In case of discrepancies, contact your nearest
FLOWSERVE sales office.
3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Clean tubing prior to installing.
3.2 If possible, install the valve in an upright position (actuator on top), to ease maintenance. An upright installation position is important with low-temperature
applications, in order to keep the distance between
the packing material and the medium as large as possible. The packing material then retains the ambient
temperature as much as possible.
NOTE:
Do not insulate extension bonnets that are pro-
vided for hot or cold services
3.3 Make sure that sufficient overhead clearance above
the actuator is maintained, to allow for disassembly
of plug from the valve body (see following table).
Actuator Clearance Actuator Clearance

38/48 140 P3 140
39/49 140 P4 140
39D/49D 140 P5 140
3.4 After installing, check direction of flow again. The direction of flow is shown by the arrow on the housing.
3.5 If the valve is to be welded into the line, make sure
that the valve is shielded from excessive heat.
3.6 Connect supply pressure and signal lines. Control
valves are supplied with a positioner. The end connections for supply pressure and signal are clearly
marked. Actuator and positioner are suitable for max.
4.2 bar (60 psi) supply pressure. If the supply pres-

sure exceeds the pressure specified on the nameplate,
a pressure reducing station is required. If instrument
air is not available, install an oil separator/air filter in
the air inlet line. All connections must be leak free.
4 QUICK CHECK:
Before operating, check the valve as follows:
4.1 Open and close the valve, and observe the movement
of the actuator stem. The movement must be smooth
and linear.
4.2 Check for maximum stroke through change of signal
(for pneumatic positioners, 0.2 - 1.0 bar or corresponding split-range values; for IP positioners, 4-20
or 0-20 mA).
4.3 Check all air connections for leaks.
4.4 Tighten packing nut (see table 1).

NOTE:
An excessively tightened gland nut can cause
excessive packing wear and can hinder the free movement of the plug stem.
5.2 Check bellows gasket and test connection - if present - for
external leaks.
5.3 Check valve for damage caused by corrosive residues
or corrosive vapours.
5.4 Clean valves and repaint as necessary.
Warning:
STOP!
clean the actuator/valve with a damp cloth only.
To prevent a buildup of electrostatic charge
5.5 Check gland nut for correct torque (see table 1)..
NOTE:
An excessively tightened gland nut can cause
excessive packing wear and can hinder the free movement of the plug stem.
5.6 If possible, open and close valve and check for maximum stroke and smooth movement of the plug stem.
Irregular movement of the plug stem may indicate
internal defects.
NOTE: With graphite packing, irregular movement of
the plug stem is normal.

injury.
5.7 Check all accessories for firm seating.
5.8 If possible, close supply pressure and check the failsafe position.
5.10 Check stem boot for wear.
4.5 Check fail-safe position. To do this, close supply pressure and observe whether the valve opens or closes
as defined.
4.6 After use at fluctuating temperatures, re-tighten all
bolt connections and check for leaks.
5 MAINTENANCE
Check valves for correct functioning at regular
intervals (at least once every 6 months) as follows.
This check can be made when installed and in many
cases without interrupting production. If internal
defects are suspected, see section „Disassembly and
Assembly of Valve“.
5.1 Examine gaskets for leaks and if necessary re-tighten
bolts (see Fig. 1).
5.11 Check actuator for leaks. To do this, spray housing,
air connections and plug stem guide with leak spray
and check for any bubble formation.
5.12 Clean plug stem.
5.13 Check air filter, if present, and if necessary replace
insert.
Note:
For further information regarding service and
maintenance please contact your nearest
FLOWSERVE office.
DANGER:
On actuators with aluminium cases the
actuator springs must be renewed with original spare
parts every 10 years or after 50.000 operating hours
which ever occurs first.
