1USING FLOWSERVE VALVES, ACTUATORS AND AC-
CESSORIES CORRECTLY
1.1Using
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on FLOWSERVE products. Product users
and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review
this bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance.
In most cases FLOWSERVE valves, actuators and
accessories are designed for specific applications
(e.g. with regard to medium, pressure, temperature).
For this reason they should not be used in other
applications without first contacting the manufacturer.
1.2Terms concerning safety
The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and
NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight
particular dangers and/or to provide additional information on aspects that may not be readily apparent.
DANGER:
jury and/or substantial property damage will occur if
proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING:
STOP!

NOTE:
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.
1.3Protective clothing
FLOWSERVE 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.).
1.4Qualified 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.

1.5Installation
DANGER:
Before installation check the order-no, serial-no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/
actuator is correct for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or
cold services.
Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the
valve is not fitted under tension.
Fire protection must be provided by the user.
1.6Spare parts
Use only FLOWSERVE original spare parts.
FLOWSERVE cannot accept responsibility for any
damages that occur from using spare parts or
fastening materials from other manufactures. If
FLOWSERVE products (especially sealing materials)
have been on store for longer periods check these for
corrosion or deterioration before using these products.
Fire protection for FLOWSERVE products must be
provided by the end user.
1.7Service / 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.
1.8Storage
In most cases FLOWSERVE products are
manufactured from stainless steel. Products not
manufactured from stainless steel are provided with
an epoxy resin coating. This means that FLOWSERVE
products are well protected from corrosion.
Nevertheless FLOWSERVE 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.
1.9Valve 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.
2UNPACKING
Each delivery includes a packing slip. When unpacking,
check all delivered valves and accessories using this
packing slip.
Report transport damage to the carrier immediately.
In case of discrepancies, contact your nearest
FLOWSERVE location.
STOP!

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:
Before products are returned to
FLOWSERVE for repair or service FLOWSERVE must
be provided previously with a certificate which confirms that the product has been decontaminated and

5.3Installation Guidelines
The valves described in this documentation are designed and produced so that they do not present any
hazard for the operating and service personnel or for
the system, in which the valves are installed, when
handled properly observing all important instructions
and safety precautions.
All installation and removal work, performed within the
scope of maintenance or repair to the valves, should be
accomplished only by trained personnel. When assembling or disassembling, observe the installation
instructions. Proceed precisely as specified in the installation and removal instructions to prevent severe
injury to the operating and service personnel.
The operator of the system is responsible for ensuring
that the installation, operating and maintenance personnel assigned have the required qualifications. The
operator is also responsible for ensuring that the personnel in question are familiar with the documentation
and safety regulations.
The values listed in the chapter “
Technical Data”
, such
as pressure, temperature, installation locations, etc.,
should be observed under all circumstances.
All materials and sealing elements must be suitable for
these operating conditions and the media, with which
the valves come into contact. The system operator is
solely responsible for all risks and consequences resulting from failure to observe these operating parameters. Unauthorized modifications to the valves have
an effect on the intended application and are not permissible.
In addition to these instructions, all local safety and
accident prevention regulations apply.
5.3.1Installation Space
Before starting installation determine and define the
connection axes. Take installation dimensions from
dimension drawings. Provide for space for operation as well as service.
5.3.2Installation
Do not subject to pressure or tension.
5.3.3Installation Position
Vertical, to ensure that valve and line run empty.

Installation stateSingle-piece body
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to sealing materials
and functioning parts, always weld the body in a disassembled state. Disassemble according to disassemble instructions.
5INSTALLATION
5.1General Instructions
We urgently recommend having the installation
work accomplished by trained, expert personnel.
5.2Delivery Status
The valves are tested at the factory and ready for
installation when shipped. The valve can be connected to the product line with weld ends or selected pipe connections.
5.4.2Preparation of weld
Cut off ends of pipe even and deburr. Adjust weld-
ing ends on housing so that they make radially and
axially level contact with the piping (centering tool).
Ensure that no gap is present at the welding ends in
contact with each other, because otherwise the
forming gas would flow out reducing the corrosion
resistance of the weld.
7.3Remove actuator
Remove the coupling between the actuator stem and
the plug stem (3). Loosen the slotted nut (M38 x
1.5) on the valve bonnet (2) and remove the actuator.
7.4Release the tension on actuator springs.
7.5Loosen and remove the TC clamp (3).

10MAINTENANCE
Before maintenance
CAUTION:
Valves with air-to-open actuators: tension the ac-
tuator springs using top handwheel or by applying
supply air under the membrane.
Failure to do this will cause the valve bonnet to
spring-out when the clamp is released due to the
spring pressure acting between the plug and seat.
Observe electrical connection voltage, as necessary
switch off power supply.
Have repair work performed only by trained personnel authorised by the operator.

10.1Inspection
FLOWSERVE valves do not require any special service. However perform a visual check for leakage and
proper function between the maintenance intervals.
10.2 Maintenance
Maintenance intervals based on the actual operating
conditions can only be determined by the user/operator, because they depend on the following application
parameters:
• Operating time per day
• Switching intervals
• Type of product
Type of cleaning (CIP / SIP)
We recommend the following data as guide values:
• For liquids with solid constituents and tempera tures of 80° C to 100° C:
approx. every 3 – 6 months
• For liquids with solid constituents and tempera tures of approx. 60° C:
approx. every 12 months
• For liquids without solid constituents and tempera tures of max. 95° C:
approx. every 24 months
Intervals of 12 months are recommended for cleaning systems.
Naturally, the specified values assume that the sealing material is resistant to any chemicals used in cleaning.
