1. General

Important

This document contains all the instructions required for the installation, operation and maintenance of the
equipment.

Regular maintenance, strict observance of these instructions and the use of manufacturer’s replacement parts will
guarantee optimum operation and reduce maintenance costs.

1.1 Scope

The following instructions are designed to guide the user
through the installation and maintenance of the 41005
series valves for all sizes and all pressure classes.

1.2 Serial Plate

The serial plate is usually fixed to the side of the actuator
yoke. It indicates, amongst other things, the type of valve,
the pressure class, the material used for the pressurized
chamber and the air supply pressure of the actuator.

1.3 After Sales Service

GE offers it clientele an After Sales Service comprising
highly qualified technicians, for the operation,
maintenance and repair of its equipment. To benefit from
this service, contact our local representative or the After
Sales Service of the factory whose address is given at the
end of the document.

1.4 Spare Parts

When carrying out maintenance operations, only
manufacturer’s replacement parts must be used,
obtained through our local representatives or our
Spare Parts Service.

When ordering spare parts, the model and serial
numbers indicated on the manufacturer’s serial plate
must be given.

The recommended spare parts are indicated in the parts
list included in this instruction manual on page 20.

1.5 Actuator and Other Accessories

The valve is equipped with an actuator; like all the other
valve accessories, actuators are the subject of special
instructions which provide information on the electric
and pneumatic connections. The instruction manuals to
be used for standard actuators are GEA31171 for types
37/38, GEA19530A for types 87/88.

Note: This instruction manual describes all the standard options in the 41005 valve series. To satisfy the particular
conditions of your application, GE may have had to develop a special option which is the subject of an additional
clause to this instruction manual. In this case, the instructions given in the additional clause always take precedence
over the general instructions.

3. Installation

3.1 Cleanness of Piping

Before installing the valve in the line, clean piping and
valve of all foreign material such as welding chips, scale,
oil, grease or dirt. Gasket surfaces must be thoroughly
cleaned to insure leak-free joints.

3.4 Hydraulic Test and Cleaning of Lines

During this operation, the control valve must not be used
as an isolating valve.

This means that the valve must always be opened before
carrying out pressure tests in the process line, cleaning of
pipes, etc., otherwise equipment damages or destroying
of seal rings could result.

3.2 Isolating By-Pass Valve

To allow for in-line inspection, maintenance and
removal of the valve without service interruption,
provide a manually operated stop valve on each side
of the control valve and a manually operated throttling
valve in the by-pass line.

3.3 Heat Insulation

In case of heat insulated installation, do not insulate the
valve bonnet and take protection measures related to
personal safety.

3.5 Flow Direction

The valve must be installed so that the controlled
substance will flow through the valve in the direction
indicated by the flow arrow located on the body.

4. Disassembly

4.1 Removal of Actuator

(Figures 15 and 16)

A. Remove the packing flange nuts (3) then remove

the packing flange (4) and the packing follower (23).

B. Check that the exposed part of the valve plug

stem (1) is clean enough for the bonnet (7) to be
removed easily.

Access to the internal components of the body should be
accomplished with the actuator removed. To carry out
this operation, follow the instructions below and refer
to the specific actuator instructions, reference
GEA19530A for a type 87/88 actuator and GEA31171 for
the type 37/38 actuator.

4.1.1 Disconnection of instruments

Disconnect all mechanical couplings between the
positioner and the other instruments on the one hand
and the valve stem/actuator stem coupling on the
other hand.

4.1.2 Plug stems screwed into the actuator stem

In the case of air-to-retract actuators, apply sufficient air
pressure on the diaphragm to retract the stem completely.

Loosen the counter-nut, unscrew the stem.

Caution: During this operation, make sure that the
plug does not turn when it is seated. If the plug travel
is very small and there is a large amount of plug stem
inside the actuator, it may be necessary to remove
the yoke nut and lift the actuator so that the plug is
not touching the seat.

C. Remove the body stud nuts (8).

D. By means of a pad eye secured instead of the

actuator, lift the bonnet (7) up and separate it from
the valve body (18). During this operation, the valve
plug stem (1) must be pushed downwards so that
the valve plug remains in the valve body (18).

E. Remove the spring washer (17) and the body

gasket (10).

F. In the case of type 41305, 41375, 41505, 41605 and

41905 valves, remove the valve plug stem (1) and
valve plug (15) assembly from the cage by pulling the
valve plug stem upward, then remove the cage (16)
and “stack” (37) assembly for 41375 type valve.

Caution: Because of the cage gasket (31), the cage
can sometimes be lifted along with the valve plug. If
this should happen, press down on the cage so that it
remains in the body. If the cage is lifted along with the
valve plug, it could slip during handling and fall

In the case of a 41905 series valve [equipped with
a graphite ring (45)], make sure that the ring is not
damaged during the operation.

4.1.3 Stems attached with a stem connector

In the case of air-to-retract actuators, apply sufficient
air pressure on the diaphragm to retract the stem
completely.

Loosen the screws and remove the stem connector.

4.1.4 Removal of actuator

Disconnect all the ingoing and outgoing air and electrical
connections from the actuator. Loosen the yoke nut or
attachment screws and lift the actuator, making sure
that the concentricity and/or the thread of the bonnet is
not damaged.

4.2 Opening of the Pressurized Chamber

(Figures 17, 18 and 19)

Danger: Prior to disassembly, vent the process
pressure and isolate the valve if necessary.

Note: The valve must always be reassembled with new

packing rings and gaskets; before disassembly, make
sure that the appropriate parts are available.

G. In the case of a 41405 valve, remove the valve

plug and body cage assembly by pulling the valve
plug stem upward; in this case, the valve plug has
a shoulder which prevents the cage from falling.
Remove the valve plug from the cage by pulling on
the end of the valve plug stem.

H. Remove the seat ring (13) and the seat ring gasket

(14) from the valve body (18).

I. Remove the packing (6), the packing spacer (5) and

the guide bushing (22) from the bonnet (7).

Note: A packing spacer (5) is only mounted when the
bonnet has a side connection.

4.3 Disassembly of Valve Plug Stem

The valve plug stem is screwed and pinned into the
valve plug (15).

To dismount the stem, the valve plug must be held as
indicated below, taking care not to damage the guiding
surfaces; the plug stem pin (9) is then removed. By means
of flats or using a nut and counter-nut on the end of the
stem, unscrew the stem taking care not to apply
a bending moment which could deform it.

4.4 Disassembly of the Auxiliary Pilot Plug

When the valve is of the 41405 type.

In the case of 50, 80 or 100 mm (2”, 3” or 4”) valves
(Figure 17).

Exert a sufficient force on the auxiliary pilot plug (20) to
compress the spring washers (12). The retaining ring (19)
can then be removed, releasing the auxiliary pilot plug
and spring washers.

In the case of 150 to 400 mm (6” to 16”) valves (Figure 17).

To carry out this operation safely, screws of the diameter
and length indicated in the table in Figure 2 must be used.
Thread the socket head cap screws through the holes
in the auxiliary pilot plug (20). Tighten until the retainer
ring (19) can be removed. Loosen the screws gradually.
Remove the auxiliary pilot plug and the spring (12).
