Warning: Jordan Valve control valves must only be used, installed and repaired in accordance with these Installation
& Maintenance Instructions. Observe all applicable public and company codes and regulations. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, call a qualied service person; continued operation may cause system failure or a general
hazard. Before servicing any valve, disconnect, shut off, or bypass all pressurized uid. Before disassembling a valve,
be sure to release all spring tension.
Please read these instructions carefully!
Your Jordan Valve product will provide you with long,
trouble-free service if it is correctly installed and maintained. Spending a few minutes now reading these instructions can save hours of trouble and downtime later.
When making repairs, use only genuine Jordan Valve
parts, available for immediate shipment from the factory.

be exercised to prevent pipe-sealing compound
from getting into the pipelines. Pipe sealing compound should be used sparingly, leaving the two
end threads clean. Jordan uses, and recommends,
thread sealer Teon ribbon.
The ow arrow on the valve body must be pointed 6.
in the direction of ow. Ideally, the valve should be
installed in the highest horizontal line of piping to
provide drainage for inlet and outlet piping, to prevent water hammer, and to obtain faster response.
If possible, install a relief valve downstream from the 7.
valve. Set at 15 psi above the control point of the
valve.

condensation.
In gas service, if the control pressure (downstream) 9.
is 25% of the inlet pressure or less, expand the outlet piping at least one pipe size. A standard tapered
expander connected to the outlet of the valve is
recommended.
Where surges are severe, a piping accumulator is 10.
recommended.
On steam control applications, install a steam trap 11.
with sufcient capacity to drain the coil or condenser. Be sure to have a good fall to the trap, and no
back pressure. Best control is maintained if the coil
or condenser is kept dry.
To protect the valve from grit, scale, thread chips, 1.
and other foreign matter, all pipe lines and piping
components should be blown out and thoroughly
cleaned before the valve is installed.
Shutoff valves, pressure gauges, and bypass piping 2.

Actuator Disassembly
Loosen the stem connector bolt (20) and nut (19), 1.
and remove the stem connector (18).
Remove the actuator assembly from the valve by 2.
removing the four adapter plate bolts (22) and lifting
the actuator off the yoke (21).
Release the spring compression by threading the 3.
actuator stem (24) out of actuator, being careful not
to loosen the actuator stem locknut (44) or move the
stem adapter (43) (on 1/2” to 2” sizes).
Remove the actuator case bolts (29) and nuts (30) 4.
and lift the upper actuator case (28) off of the lower
actuator case.
Lift the diaphragm assembly out of the actuator case 5.
(27).
Loosen and remove the two actuator bolt locknuts 6.
(36). Remove the diaphragm plate (33) and diaphragm (34) from the actuator.
Clean all parts with a good quality solvent. Remove 7.
encrusted material with crocus or very ne aluminum oxide cloth. Inspect all parts for excessive wear
and/or damage and replace worn or damaged parts.
Use only Jordan Valve Replacement Parts. The use
of other than genuine Jordan Valve parts may impair
their ability to function properly.
Actuator Reassembly
Assemble the diaphragm stops (32), diaphragm (34), 1.
and diaphragm plate (33) to the actuator bolt (35).
Assemble and tighten the two actuator bolt lock nuts
(36) making sure that they are locked together.
Place the diaphragm assembly (from step 1) on the 2.
upper actuator case (28) with the diaphragm plate
(33) up. Place the springs (37) on the diaphragm
plate so they nest the formed bosses. Assemble the
lower case (27).
Replace four of the actuator case bolts (29) and 3.
nuts (30) at 90° and tighten nger-tight. Thread the
actuator stem (24) (with the stem adapter (42) for
the 1/2” to 2” sizes) onto the actuator bolt (35) until
the shoulder on the stem connects the adapter plate
and a slight amount for spring compression can be
felt.
Reassemble the actuator assembly to the yoke using 4.
the four adapter plate bolts (22).
Reconnect the actuator stem (24) to the valve stem 5.

ment.
Valve Stroke Adjustment
1/2” to 2” sizes:1. loosen the stem connector nut
(20), only enough to allow the stem adapter (43) to
rotate. Do not remove the stem connector (18).
Proper positioning of the valve stem and the stem
adapter (43) must be maintained while adjusting the
seats.
2-1/2” to 6” sizes:2. remove the seats as outlined
under Valve Seats and loosen the disc pin locknut
(9). Put the seats back in place. Loosen the stem connector nut (20) only enough to allow the stem (19)
to rotate. Do not remove the stem connector (18).
Proper positioning of the valve stem (10) and actuator stem (24) must be maintained while adjusting the
seats.
Direct Acting (air-to-close) Valves:3. thread the actuator stem (24) onto the actuator bolts (35) until the
springs are slightly compressed. This insures that the
actuator stem is slightly compressed. This insures that
the actuator stem is in its fully upward position. To
conrm that the actuator stem is fully stroked down,
check that it cannot be rotated easily with a wrench.
Reverse Acting (air-to-open) Valves:4. apply an air
pressure to the actuator of approximately 5 psi
above the maximum range pressure (i.e. 20 psi for
3-15 psi range). This should stroke the actuator stem
fully down. To conrm that the actuator stem is fully
stroked down, check that it cannot be rotated easily
without a wrench.
1/2” to 2” sizes:5. the orices in the disc (6) and plate
(5) must be perfectly aligned in the open position. If
they are not, loosen the actuator stem locknut (44)
and rotate the stem adapter (43), which moves the
disc pin (8) and disc (6) up or down on the plate.
2-1/2” to 6” sizes:6. the orices in the disc (6) and
plate (5) must be perfectly aligned in the open position. If they are not, adjust the alignment of the orices by rotating the valve stem (10), which moves the
disc pin (8) and disc (6) up or down on the plate (5).
1/2” to 2” sizes:7. after proper alignment has been
achieved, tighten the locknut (44) against the end of
the actuator stem (43). Recheck the seat adjustment.
2-1/2” to 6” sizes:8. after proper alignment has been
achieved, remove the seat assembly and carefully
tighten the disc pin locknut (9), taking care not to
rotate the disc pin (8). Replace the seats and recheck
the seat alignment.
Adjust the spring preload as shown in 9. Spring Adjust-
ment.
Spring Adjustment
Note: Actuators arranged for 3-15 range, Reverse Air-ToOpen: Jordan control valves rated 3-15 psig, ATO, are
bench set at the factory at 5-17 psig. Please insure that
any I/P utilized with this control valve is capable of 17 psig
output to insure full valve travel. If desired, the range may
be changed to suit your needs by following the instructions below.
The signal range (3-15 psi or other) is preset by Jordan
Valve. When the valve is installed, however, this range
may shift slightly due to pressure drops across the valve.

Page 5
Additionally, preload adjustments may be required after
one of the previous maintenance procedures.
Changing Valve Action
Remove the air signal line from the actuator and 1.
replace with a pressure gauge and an air regulator.
Loosen, but do not remove, the stem connector bolt 2.
(19) and nut (20).
Adjust the actuator air pressure to just below the 3.
starting point of the range and rotate the actuator
stem (24) until the stem just starts to move. Continue
to rotate the actuator stem about one-half turn. Remove the air pressure. Increase the air pressure and
check the pressure at which the valve just starts to
move. Repeat actuator stem adjustment if necessary
and again check pressure at which the stem starts to
move.
After the preload has been properly adjusted, 4.
tighten the stem connector bolt (19) and nut (20)
and reattach the control air line.
Troubleshooting
Erratic Control
Oversizing causes cycling or hunting – recalculate •
size required.
Steam traps downstream may need reconditioning.•
Excessive foreign matter may be lodged in seats.•
Valve stroke may be out of adjustment.•
Valve disc may not be moving freely.•
The action of a sliding gate valve can be changed from
direct to reverse, or vice-versa, by rotating the disc, plate
and cap 180°. Check valve stroke and orice alignment
and readjust, if required, as shown under Valve Stroke
Adjustment.
