INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANE INSTRUCTIONS
3 Safety Precautions.
3.1 Do not exceed the valve pressure /
temperature rating limitations!
• Exceeding the pressure/temperature rating
limitations marked on the valve may result in major
damage or Personal injury. Users of these valves
should ensure that the valve pressure / temperature
is less than or equal to the rated
pressure/temperatures. If required, end user should
incorporate appropr
the system for the safe operation of the valve.
3.2 Use the valve for speci ed application only!
iate limiting/monitoring devices in
• User to ensure that the valve is used only for the
speci
ed application as agreed between the
manufacturer and the purchaser.
3.3 Follow the safety rules and regulations!
• User of the valve must be aware of all the safety
rules and regulations related to a particular
environment in which the valve is to be used.
4 Transportation, Receiving and Storage.
4.1
Valves are being packed in cartons, boxes or pallets
while shipping to the customer. Care should be taken to
store them in a suitable place. We recommend storing
the valves indoors in a dry and dust free atmosphere
(Refer to
that the valves and any other accessories have not been
damaged during transportation. Avoid mechanical
damage to the valve seat during storage. Rubber lined
valve must not be stored for more than 2 years without
installation, unless speci
gure 2.1). W hile unpacking the valves, check
ed otherwise.
3.4 Do not disassemble the valve or remove it
from the pipeline while the valve is
pressurized!
• Disassembling or removing a pressurized valve will
result in uncontrolled pressure release. Always
isolate the relevant part of the pipeline, release the
pressure from the valve and remove the media
before dismantling the valve.
• Be aware of the type of media involved. Protect
people and the environment from any harmful or
poisonous substances.
•
Make sure that no dust, dirt can enter the pipeline
during the valve maintenance
.
3.5 When handling the valve or the valve
package, bear in mind its weight!
• Never lift the valve or valve package by the handle,
gear operator, actuator or hand wheel. Place the
rope securely around the valve body while handling
the valve. Refer to Fig No. 1.2
Fig 2.1 Storing the Valve.
• Caution:
Placing the valves directly on the ground or on a
concrete
oor should be avoided!
All wrapping and protection on the valves should not be
4.2
removed until the valve is ready for installation.
4.3
If the valves are stored for a long time, then all the valves
should be cleaned and hydro / pneumatic tested before
installation. Refer to General Arrangement drawing,
which lists the appropriate testing standards, or consult
the nearest branch o
ce / factory for more information
Valves are bi-directional and can be installed in either

handling the valve either by hand or by mechanical
means, special care should be taken not to damage the

damage the valve components.
5.2 Valve open or close position is indicated on the notch
5.0 Installation
5.1 When removing the valve from storage a careful
check should be made to ensure that the valve has
not been damaged during the storage period.
5.5 Valve should be checked for identication purpose and
ensure that characteristics of valve matches to those
specied for piping specications, for the line w here that
is to be mounted. Nameplate instructions will give the
plate for lever operated valves or on the top of
the gear operator for gear operator operated valves
necessary information.
5.3 Center valve, span body with bolts, but do not tighten.
Slowly open disc to ensure that it clears adjacent pipe
ID and leave at full open position. Tighten bolts in a cris
cross pattern refer g 3.5.

Note:
a)
Do not attempt to correct the line misalignment by means of ange bolting Ref to g 3.3.
b) Use ange gaskets Ref to g 3.4.
c) Valves shall never be mounted with the operator vertically downwards.
5.7 Recommended Bolt Tightening Sequence:
Place the valve between the anges, center it and then span the valve body with all ange bolts, but do not
tighten the bolts. Carefully open the disc to the full open position, making sure the disc does not hit the adjacent
pipe I.D. Now systematically remove jack bolts or other ange spreaders, and hand-tighten the ange bolts as
shown in g.3.5 Very slowly close the valve disc to ensure disc edge cl
earance from adjacent pipe ange I.D.
Now open the disc to full open and tighten all anges bolts as per specication as shown in g. Finally, repeat a
full close to full open rotation of the disc to ensure proper clearance.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
6. Operation of the Valve.
7 Maintenance.
6.1 For lever operated valves, the hand lever is either
assembled with the valve or shipped loose depending
upon the size of valve / hand lever.
6.2 For gear operated valves, THE GEAR OPERATOR
OPEN / CLOSE ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN DONE
PRIOR TO SHIPMENT AND MUST NOT BE
CHANGED . Rotation of hand wheel in the clockwise
direction closes the valve and counter clockwise rotation
opens it. (Looking from hand wheel end) The detai

details/construction of gear operator may vary as per
manufacturer’s standard.

Note:
Observe the safety precautions as outlined in section 3
before performing maintenance.
7.1 Preventive Maintenance.
7.1.1 In order to avoid valve failure during operation, all
valves in a process plant should be periodically
inspected thoroughly to detect the wear of disc,
seats, seals and even body. It is recommended that
on such occasions seats, seals and bushings
should be replaced.
7.1.2 The type of process, uids involved, working
conditions and location of the valves in the process
plants, will determine the frequency of periodic
inspection / maintenance which in fact will be made
at the time of partial or total shutdown of the pla nt.
Preventive maintenance is absolutely essential as
the failure due to lack of the same may cause an
emergency shutdown of the plant.
7.1.3 Section 8 describes the procedure for disassembly,
repair and assembly of the valve. The procedure will
be the same for a valve failing during operation due
Fig 4.1: Details of gear operator.
6.3 Buttery valves always close in a clockwise direction.
Valve should always be rotated through 90º to the fully
opened or fully closed position.
6.4 Valve should be opened and closed slowly to avoid
hammering eect on the valve and pipeline.
6.5 Once the ushing is complete, valve should be operated
3-4 times and then kept in the fully open position.
6.6 If the valve is not operating to fully open or fully closed
position, and/or leaking, do not apply excessive force to
operate the valve. This can damage the seats or stem.
6.7 The hand wheel provided on the gear boxes is capable
of generating the required output torque with a pul l of
36Kg (356N) on hand wheel. No extra lever / crowbars
shall be used with the hand wheel.
Caution:
• Apply gradual force on the hand wheel of the gear
operator and do not give impacts.
• Do not apply extra leverage (using pipe/bar), when the
end stops of the gear operator are reached.
7.1.4 Once a valve is repaired, it should undergo a

frequently, after approx. 3 years. If operated rarely,
after approx. 5 years.
WARNING
Pipeline pressure can propel the loose ange bolts &
anges, and can cause personal injury or equipment
damage. Relieve pipeline pressure before removing
ange bolts and anges.
WARNING
Moving Parts from accidental operation of powered
(Pneumatically / Electrically) actuator can cause
personal injury or equipment damage. Disconnect
and lock power to actuator before servicing.
8. Disassembly and Assembly
Instructions :
Note:
If complete disassembly becomes necessary,
replacement of seats and all seals is recommended
.
8.1 Disassembly Instructions:
( Refer to exploded view No. 10.1 and 10.2)

8.2 Repair of Components.
8.2.1 The metallic parts should be cleaned.
8.2.2 After cleaning components examine for damaged
parts. Ensure that there are no scoring marks on the
metallic sealing surfaces. Check the seals for
scratches / wear.

• In case the valve is in operation, release the pressure
from the line.
• Rotate the valve stem (03) manually to keep the Valve in
the half-open position. This will remove pressure in the
pipeline.
• Always fully close valve before removing from line to
avoid damage to disc
• Valve can be repaired by removing the entire valve from
pipeline. Use mounting holes to lift the valve (Wherever
applicable).
