The V5055 Gas Valves are used with the V4055, V4062,
and V9055 Fluid Power Actuators to control gas flow to
commercial and industrial burners.
While it is possible to combine any V5055 gas valve with any
V4055, V4062, V9055 fluid actuator, a limited range of
combinations apply to the applications most often used. See
Table 1.

5. Use the corrected burner capacity in cf/h when
determining the gas valve size in Fig. 1.
6. Determine the maximum pressure drop across the valve
and draw a horizontal line at this pressure in Fig. 1.
7. Draw a vertical line in Fig. 1 at the capacity (cf/h)
previously determined. Use the corrected capacity for
a gas with a specific gravity other than 0.64.
8. Use the valve size at the intersection of the horizontal
and vertical lines. If the intersection is between valve
sizes, use the next higher size to the right.
GAS VALVE SIZING
1. Check the burner nameplate for (a) the type of gas used,
and (b) the gas flow capacity. The capacity will
be listed in Btu/h (Btus per hour) or in cf/h (cubic foot per
hour).
2. Call the gas utility for information on (a) the specific gravity (sp gr) and (b) Btu per cubic foot (Btu/cu ft) for type of
gas used.
TO SIZE TWO IDENTICAL VALVES
PIPED IN SERIES
1. Find the cf/h for the type of gas used.
2. Consider both valves as one unit. Determine the total
maximum pressure drop across the unit.
3. Find the pressure drop across the first valve by
assuming it to be 45 percent of the total pressure drop.
4. Find the valve size from Fig. 1.
5. The second valve will be the same size as the first valve.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
The V5055 Valve is designed to provide control
of gaseous fuel (natural and LP gas) flow in
applications in which there is minimal exposure to
water. V5055 Valves used in maritime, beverage,
food processing, outdoor and other installations in
which occasional exposure to water is experienced
may be subject to valve stem and spring corrosion.
The presence of corrosion decreases the operating
life of the valve. V5055 Valves used in such
installations should be inspected at least annually and
should have the valve bonnets replaced if corrosion is
noted.
A V4055 Valve Actuator with a NEMA 4 rating is also
recommended for such installations. The water-tight
design of the NEMA 4 rated V4055 Actuator prevents
water from entering the V4055 valve stem and spring
chamber through the actuator. Under certain
conditions, some water may be retained by the
external upper portion of the valve body. The retained
water is effectively excluded from the valve stem and
spring chamber by a functional seal that is
incorporated into the NEMA 4 rated actuator.
When Installing This Product…

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced, flame
safeguard control technician.

V5055A-F INDUSTRIAL GAS VALVES
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard and Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
1. Turn off gas supply before starting installation.
2. Disconnect power supply for valve actuator before
beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and
equipment damage.
3. Be sure the valve is installed so the arrow on
the valve points in the direction of gas flow.
(Gas pressure helps to close the valve.)
Location
Install the valve in the gas supply line downstream from the
pressure regulator. The valve and actuator may be mounted in
any position that allows sufficient clearance for installation and
for repair or replacement.
1. The valve position indicators should be easily visible with
the valve and actuator in the final position.
2. The final position of the valve and actuator must allow for
damper linkage, if used.
IMPORTANT:
Allow room for turning the valve body (actuator not
attached) onto the gas piping. Swing dimensions,
measured from the center of the pipe are:
3/4 through 1-1/2 in. valves: 4 in. (101.6 mm).
2 through 3 in. valves: 5 in. (127.0 mm).
4 in. valves: 7 in. (177.8 mm).
Mounting (Figs. 4 through 6)
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
If flow is not in the direction of the arrow on the valve
body, the valve may not shut off.
1. Use new, properly reamed, pipe, free from chips.
2. Do not thread pipe too far (Fig. 4). Valve distortion or
malfunction may result from excess pipe in the valve.

Fig. 4. Preparing the pipes.
3. Remove the protective caps from the ends of the valve.
Do not attach the valve actuator until the valve body
installation is complete.
4. Apply good quality pipe dope resistant to action of
LP gas, putting a moderate amount on the male threads
only. Use dope sparingly; if pipe dope lodges on the
valve seat, it will prevent proper closure.
5. Install valve with the gas flow in the direction indicated by
the arrow on the casting.
6. Apply a parallel jaw wrench only to the flat next to the
pipe being inserted (Fig. 5). A wrench applied to the
valve body itself, or to the end farthest from the pipe
being inserted, may distort the casting, causing a
malfunction. Do not use the valve for a lever.
7. Be sure the gas flow is in the same direction as the arrow
on the bottom of the valve body.
8. Use two threaded companion flanges, two gaskets
(included with valve), and 16 bolts (with washers and
nuts) for mounting a 4 in.-V5055 Valve. Mount a
threaded flange and gasket on each end of the valve as
shown in Fig. 6. Then screw the pipes into the threaded
flanges. Apply dope sparingly, and use wrenches and
vises properly as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
9. Make sure the power supply is disconnected from
the valve actuator. Then mount the actuator on the valve
body and complete the electrical and linkage
connections following the instructions packed with the
actuator.
60-2307—168
OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
Operation
A V5055 Industrial Gas Valve is operated by a V4055, V4062,
or V9055 Fluid Power Gas Valve Actuator. The valve opens
when the actuator is energized, and closes when power is
removed. When closed, the valve seals off against the
rated close-off pressure with no power applied. For further
information, refer to the Instructions for the actuator.

CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Operation without proper checkout can damage the
equipment.
1. Do not put the system into service until you have
satisfactorily completed the following Valve Leak
Test, all applicable tests described in the Checkout
section of the Instructions for the flame safeguard
control, and any other tests required by the burner
manufacturer.
2. All tests must be performed by a trained,
experienced flame safeguard control technician.
3. Close all manual fuel shutoff valves as soon as
trouble occurs.
After the installation is complete, cycle the valve several times
with the manual fuel shutoff cock closed. Make sure the valve
and actuator function properly. Also perform the Valve Leak
Test that follows before putting the valve into service.
Valve Leak Test (Fig. 7)
This is a test for checking the closure tightness of a gas
safety shutoff valve. It should be performed by qualified
personnel during the initial startup of a burner system, or
whenever the valve or valve bonnet is replaced (see
Service Information section). It is recommended that this
test also be included in the scheduled inspection and
maintenance procedures. For a periodic inspection test,
follow steps 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, and 17.
6. Open the upstream manual gas cock (A).
7. Run the safety shutoff valve (C) to its fully open position
(through the safety system); then immediately
de-energize the system to close the valve.
8. Immerse a 1/4 in. tube vertically 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) into
a jar of water.
9. Slowly open the test petcock (F).
10. When the rate of bubbles coming through the water
stabilizes, count the number of bubbles appearing during
a ten-second period. Each bubble appearing during a
ten-second period represents a flow rate of
approximately 0.001 cfh.
To meet U.S. requirements, leakage must not exceed the
values listed in Table 5.

14. Test with soap bubbles to assure that there is no leak
at the test tap (D).
15. De-energize the safety shutoff valve (C).
16. Open the downstream manual gas cock (E).
17. Restore the system to normal operation. If two safety
shutoff valves are utilized, each V5055 valve is to be
checked for tightness of closure.
SERVICE INFORMATION
WARNING
Explosion and Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
1. Before servicing, turn off the gas supply and
disconnect all electrical power to the valve actuator.
2. Only qualified service technicians should attempt
to service or repair flame safeguard controls and
burner systems.
3. Do not disassemble the valve bonnet assembly;
the valve seat is not replaceable.
4. Failure to properly position and seat the seals in the
valve body may result in a hazardous gas leak.

V5055A-F INDUSTRIAL GAS VALVES
Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance
Setup and follow a schedule for periodic inspection and
maintenance, including the burner, all other controls, and the
valve(s) and actuator(s) for leaking oil. It is recommended that
the Valve Leak Test in the Checkout section be included in this
schedule. Refer to the Instructions for the primary safety
control for more information.
Valve Checkout for Oil Leakage from Actuator
1. Turn off the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve
located upstream from the valve(s) being serviced.
2. Shut off all electrical power to the valve actuator(s).
3. Mark and disconnect the wires from the actuator termi-
nals. Remove conduit and disengage the damper linkage assembly (if applicable).
4. Loosen the two set screws from the valve to lift off the
actuator.
5. If the actuator is to be replaced and it did not leak
hydraulic fluid, skip to Step 11.
NOTE: It is good practice to inspect the inside of the
valve whenever the actuator is replaced. To do
so, remove the bonnet assembly, inspect the
valve and bonnet. If all is well, proceed to Step 7.
6. If the actuator leaked hydraulic fluid onto the valve (the
fluid is red), it must be cleaned off from the valve and
bonnet assembly.
a. Wipe off the outer valve body.
b. Remove the valve bonnet bolts and lift off the bonnet.
10. After positioning the bonnet assembly, replace the
screws removed earlier.
NOTE: When replacing the bonnet assembly on the 4”
valve, it must be drawn evenly into the valve
body. Finger tighten the 8 screws. Draw the
bonnet assembly into the valve by tightening, in
order, screws 1, 5, 7, 3 (two turns each).
Repeat until the assembly is seated. Tighten
the remaining screws.
11. Remount the actuator on the bonnet assembly. Tighten
the two set screws (50-60 inch pounds).
12. Replace the damper crank arm assembly.
13. Re-attach the wires removed from the actuator terminals
and turn on the electrical power.
14. With the gas still off, cycle the actuator to check for
proper mechanical operation.
CAUTION
Be sure to perform a bonnet seal and seat leak
check after installation.
Be sure to read and follow all instructions that come
with the actuators, valves, seal and bonnet kits.
Valve Bonnet Replacement
The entire valve bonnet may be replaced without removing the
valve body from the gas line. Do not disassemble the valve
bonnet assembly; the valve seat is not replaceable.
NOTE: V5055/V5097C and E Valves have additional
internal springs that will push the bonnet up as
the bolts are loosened.
c. Inspect the inside of the valve.
IMPORTANT
If fluid is present on the inside surfaces of the valve
body or bonnet surfaces, the bonnet assembly or
entire valve must be replaced. For part numbers, refer
to “Replacement Parts:” on page 4.
d. If the inside surfaces are clear of hydraulic fluid,
clean the bonnet assembly and be sure to remove all
hydraulic fluid from the inside and outside of the
actuator mounting curb. This is the “cup-like” area
around the valve stem. Avoid using a cleaning solution as it may damage the rubber seals used in the
valve.
7. If the valve bonnet assembly is in good condition and is
not replaced, replace the bonnet seal. Do not reuse the
old bonnet seal. See “Replacement Parts:” on page 4 for
the seal number.
8. Coat seals with grease provided and position in valve
body/bonnet assembly.
9. Carefully seat the bonnet assembly on the valve body.
Be sure the seals are in their proper position. On those
valves with a spring below the disc, be sure the spring is
centered in the indentation on the inside of the valve
body.
For part numbers, refer to Replacement Parts in the
Specifications section. Complete instructions for replacing the
bonnet assembly are included with the replacement part.
Replacement of Seals (Fig. 8 or 9)
When removing the bonnet to inspect and clean the valve,
install new seals (see Replacement Parts in Specifications
section). Coat the new seals with the grease provided, and
position them in the valve body as shown in Fig. 8 or 9.
Failure to properly position and seat the seals in the valve body
may result in a hazardous gas leak.
After the new bonnet assembly is installed, or the bonnet is
removed for any reason, check for gas leakage around the
bonnet seal. Turn on the gas at the manual valve. Paint the
seal area with a rich soap and water solution. Bubbles indicate
a gas leak. If a leak is detected, check to see that the bonnet
screws are tight. If necessary, turn off the gas again and
remove the bonnet to be sure the seals are properly seated.
