Installation Instructions
4.1 Safety Precautions
c WARNING: Read this Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual carefully and completely
before attempting to install, operate, or troubleshoot the Limitorque operator.
c WARNING: Potential HIGH PRESSURE vessel — be aware of high-pressure hazards associated
with the attached valve or other actuated device when installing or performing maintenance
on the operator. Do not remove the operator mounting bolts from the valve or actuated device
unless the valve or device stem is secured or there is no pressure in the line.
c WARNING: For maintenance and/or disassembly of the operator while installed on the valve,
ensure that the operator is not under thrust or torque load. If the valve must be left in service, the
valve stem must be locked in such a way as to prevent any movement of the valve stem.
c WARNING: Do not manually operate the operator with devices other than the installed hand-
wheel. Using force beyond the ratings of the operator and/or using additive force devices such as
cheater bars, wheel wrenches, pipe wrenches, or other devices on the operator handwheel may
cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the operator and valve.
c WARNING: Do not exceed any design limitations or make modifications to this equipment
without first consulting Limitorque.
c WARNING: Use of the product must be suspended any time it fails to operate properly.
a CAUTION: If a motor actuator is driving the manual operator, do not operate the valve under
motor operation without first checking and setting the limit switch setting and checking for
correct motor rotation.
10
a CAUTION: Do not use replacement parts that are not genuine Flowserve Limitorque parts, as
serious personal injury and/or damage to the operator and valve may result.
Limitorque MT Series FCD LMENIM4201-00 – 06/10
4.2 Safety Practices
The following check points should be performed to maintain safe operation of the MT gear operator:
• Set up a periodic operating schedule on infrequently used valves.
• Ensure that the limit and/or torque switches on any electric actuator fitted to the bevel gear
operator are correctly and appropriately adjusted.
4.3 Installation
The MT series of gear operators has been designed to transmit torque as well as thrust. The gear
operator can be supplied with a threaded stem nut, keyed stem nut, or a blank stem nut.
4.3.1 Installing an Operator with a Threaded Stem Nut
1. Position operator above the valve stem.
2. Rotate the operator handwheel or wrench nut several turns until there is positive engagement
between the valve stem and the operator stem nut.
3. Rotate the handwheel to lower the operator onto the valve until contact has been made with the
valve flange.
4. Bolt the gear operator securely to the valve mounting flange.
4.3.2 Installing an Operator with a Blank Stem Nut
(MT-2, 3 and 4, one-piece)
1. Remove the thrust ring from the base of the operator.
a CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure that the O-ring seals located on the ring are not
damaged.
2. Remove the stem nut assembly consisting of a bronze nut and two needle roller bearings (MT-2
and 3) or tapered thrust bearings (MT-4), with washers.
3. Remove bearings and washers. Place them in a clean and dry area until reassembly.
4. Machine the stem nut to suit the valve stem.
a CAUTION: Care should be taken to ensure that the clamping devices used during machining do
not damage surfaces of the stem nut.
5. Reassemble the operator, reversing steps 1, 2, and 3.
a. Install bearings and washers onto the bronze stem nut.
b. Install the assembly into the thrust base.
c. Bolt the thrust base assembly to the main housing.
a CAUTION: Ensure that no dirt or foreign material enters the operator.

Limitorque MT Series FCD LMENIM4201-00 – 06/10
6. Using the specified lubricant, grease the thrust base assembly through the grease fitting. See
Section 5 Lubrication, and Figure 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 for grease fitting location.
7. Mount the operator on the valve as detailed in Section 4.3.1, Installing an Operator with a Threaded
Stem Nut.
4.3.3 Installing an Operator with a Blank Stem Nut (MT-4)
(Piece numbers refer to Figure 6.4 and Table 6.4).
1. Remove the key from the bottom of the operator. The key is located between the Thrust Drive
Sleeve (piece #117) and the Stem Nut (piece #392). The key is tapped (¼-20) to provide for
removal.
2. Remove the Stem Nut by rotating in the proper direction. The Stem Nut is threaded into the Thrust
Drive Sleeve (piece #394). A slot is provided on the end of the Stem Nut to aid in its removal.
3. Thread the Stem Nut to suit the valve stem.
a CAUTION: Do not clamp the splined area of the Stem Nut during the tapping operation.
4. Reassemble the operator, reversing steps 1 and 2. Stem Nuts should be positioned flush with the
Thrust Drive Sleeve but can be recessed inward approximately ¼ inch, if so desired. Stem Nuts
can also be positioned to extend below the Thrust Drive Sleeve approximately ¼ inch without
jeopardizing the thrust rating of the operator. All Stem Nuts are threaded on the outside diameter
using eight threads per inch.
5. Mount the operator on the valve as detailed in Section 4.3.1, Installing an Operator with a Threaded
Stem Nut.

Limitorque MT Series FCD LMENIM4201-00 – 06/10
Lubrication
The MT bevel gear operators have a sealed gear case, factory-lubricated with grease. No seal can
remain absolutely tight at all times. Therefore, it is not unusual to find a very small amount of
weeping around shaft seals — especially during long periods of idleness such as storage. Using
grease minimizes this condition as much as possible. If a small amount is weeping at start-up,
remove it with a clean cloth. Once the equipment is operating on a regular basis, the weeping should
stop.
5.1 Lubrication Inspection
Inspect the MT bevel gear operators for correct lubrication prior to operating — particularly following
a storage period. We recommend the operators be checked during an overhaul program.
5.2 Factory Lubricant
The MT series operator gear case is factory-lubricated with EP-0 lithium soap, mineral base grease,
suitable for temperatures from -20˚F (-29˚C) to 225˚F (107˚C).
a CAUTION: Do not mix lubricants of dissimilar bases.

5.3 Minimum Lubricant Qualities Required
The standard lubricants used by Limitorque have been proven to be extremely reliable over years of
service. Lubricant substitute may be used; however, Limitorque does require the following lubricant
qualities as a minimum.
The lubricant must
• contain an “EP” additive.
• be suitable for the temperature range intended.
• be water- and heat-resistant and non-separating.
• not create more than 8% swell in Buna N or Viton.
• not contain any grit, abrasive, or fillers.
• be slump-prefer NLGI-0 grade.
• not be corrosive to steel gears, balls, or roller bearings.
• have a dropping point above 316°F (158°C) for temperature ranges of -20°F to 150°F
(-28°C to 65°C).
