Masoneilan 36005 Series instructions contain DANGER,
WARNING, and CAUTION labels, where necessary, to alert
you to safety related or other important information. Read the
instructions carefully before installing and maintaining your
control valve. DANGER and WARNING hazards are related to
personal injury. CAUTION hazards involve equipment or property
damage. Operation of damaged equipment can, under certain
operational conditions, result in degraded process system
performance that can lead to injury or death. Total compliance
with all DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION notices is required
for safe operation.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

Note: Indicates important facts and conditions.
• Under certain operating conditions, the use of damaged
equipment could cause a degradation of the performance
of the system which may lead to personal injury or death.
The following instructions are designed to assist
maintenance personnel in performing most of the
maintenance required on the 36005 V-Max* valve and if
followed carefully will reduce maintenance time.
GE Masoneilan has highly skilled Service Engineers
available for start-up, maintenance and repair of our
valves and component parts. In addition, regularly
scheduled training programs are conducted to train
customer service and instrumentation personnel in
Numbering System
the operation, maintenance and application of our
control valves and instruments. Arrangements for these
services can be made through your GE Masoneilan
Representative or District Office. When performing
maintenance use only Masoneilan replacement parts.
Parts are obtainable through your local GE Masoneilan
Representative or District Office. When ordering parts
always include MODEL and SERIAL NUMBER of the unit
being repaired.
2�1�1 Unpack valve carefully to avoid damage to valve,
accessories, or tubing.
2�1�2 Record all valve and accessory serial plate data
for future reference. Always provide serial and model
numbers when ordering spare parts.
2�2 Pipeline Mounting
Do not remove button head screw (9) and
washer (10) during installation� The function
of these parts is to hold the retainer (3) and
seal ring (8) in place and should be removed
only when the valve is to be disassembled for
maintenance (Figure 2)�
A. Before installing the valve in the line, clean pipe and
valve of all foreign materials such as welding chips,
scale, oil, grease or dirt. Gasket surfaces must be
thoroughly cleaned to ensure leak free joints.
B. Install valve in a horizontal or vertical line with the flow
tending to push the seal ring (8) against the ball (2) as
indicated by the flow arrow cast into the body. It is
recommended that if adjacent walls and piping permit,
the valve be oriented such that the ball opens upward.
This is especially important when handling slurries. See
Figure 1 for actuator mounting positions and for flow
direction and Table 5 for line flange bolting lengths.
Note: Flange bolt lengths are non-standard on inlet and
standard on outlet side.
C. Tighten bolting evenly and in crisscross fashion so that
the retainer (3) held in place by the line flange will bear
evenly against the seal ring (8).
D. The linkage of the 36005 V-Max valve has been
properly adjusted at the factory and requires no further
adjustment.
E. Where insulation of the valve body is required, do not
insulate the valve bonnet. See Figure 17.
2�3 Air Piping
2�3�1 Air piping must be adequately sized to provide the
regulated supply pressure specified on the nameplate. As
a general guideline, use 1/4" O.D. tubing or equivalent for
all air lines. If supply air line exceeds 25 feet in length, use
3/8" O.D. tubing.
2�3�2 The actuator is furnished with a 1/4" NPT instrument
air port on the upper case.
Before proceeding with changing actuator
position, air action or valve maintenance,
isolate valve, vent process pressure and shut
off air supply and signal air lines or electrical
lines to unit� It is recommended that the
valve be removed from the pipeline prior to
maintenance work� Keep hands and tools away
from the segmental ball, particularly when
disconnecting the actuator stem from shaft
arm as ball may rotate freely to its lowest
position
For each valve action (air to open/air to close) the
actuator may be positioned to either side of the pipe.
Actuator position is usually determined by adjacent
piping, obstacles of various types or air piping
arrangements. To reposition the actuator and/or bracket
follow the disassembly and reassembly instructions
below.
Note: Actuator positioning should be performed
prior to installing the valve in the pipeline. To change
actuator position and/or valve action refer to Figure 1
for desired position.
A. Remove valve from process line after closing isolating
valves and disconnecting all pneumatic tubing and
electrical wiring.
B. If valve is equipped with a handwheel (Figure 4)
disengage handwheel and remove retaining clips (63),
clevis pin (66) and pivot pins (72); remove entire handwheel assembly from bracket (62).
C. Remove pivot pin retaining clips (40), pivot pin (39) and
Note: Spacer rings apply only on handwheel option.

E. If necessary, scribe a witness line on the lever (32)
in relation to the slot on the end of the shaft (5).
Note: Standard lever has arrows stamped into it for
alignment. For handwheel lever use slot for alignment.
F. Slide bracket (31) away from body until it clears bracket
and packing flange studs (26 and 25), allowing lever
(32) lever arm (64) and indicator arm (35) to be removed
from shaft. Total removal of the bracket is not required.
to open/air to close), refer to the appropriate
figure (Figure 10 to open, Figure 11 to close)�
To obtain proper alignment, the lever must be
oriented on the shaft so that the slot in the end
of the shaft and arrows or indicator lines are
aligned as shown; with the ball in the closed
position, the distance between the top of the
bracket and the top of the pivot pin must be as
shown�

desired position. Slide indicator arm (35) back onto
shaft. Align bracket and slide back onto bracket
mounting studs (26) and packing flange studs (25).

(18). Slide packing flange (23) back onto packing flange
studs (25) and replace packing flange stud nuts (24).
H. Remount actuator onto bracket and replace actuator
mounting hex nuts (75) and washers (76). Position lever
(32) and lever arm (64) so that rod end bearing (94) lines
up in lever (32). Tighten lever cap screws (34).
I. Rotate ball plug (2) to closed position. If actuator action
is air to open loosen rod end bearing locknut (93) and
adjust position of rod end bearing (94) so that holes in
lever (32) and rod end bearing (94) line up. Insert pivot
pin (39) and replace spacer rings (69) and retaining rings
(40).
When stroking valve keep hands and
equipment clear of ball plug and seal ring
to avoid injury or damage to personnel and
equipment�
J. If action is air to close place ball plug (2) in closed
position and pneumatically stroke actuator fully.
Do not exceed maximum air supply pressure�
Keep hands clear of actuator stem and linkage�
Loosen rod end bearing locknut (93) and adjust rod end
bearing (94) so that holes in lever (32) and rod end bearing
(94) line up. Insert pivot pin (39) and spacers (69) and
replace retaining rings (40).
K. For both air to open and air to close action, stroke valve
fully to ensure proper closure of ball plug and operation
of valve. It may be necessary to readjust rod end
bearing slightly by loosening locknut and rotating stem.
L. Replace handwheel assembly in bracket (62), pivot pins
(72) and retaining clips (63).
M. Replace shaft cover (42) and screw (43).
N. Set and lock indicator arm (35) to indicate plug position.
