KEYSTONE SERIES GRF RESILIENT SEATED BUTTERFLY VALVES
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood
Intended valve use
The valve is intended to be used only in
applications within the pressure/temperature
limits indicated in the P/T diagram of the product
manual.
When the valve is used in an end-of-line function,
PED Cat-I applications are allowed only. For
other categories, please contact thefactory.
1 STORAGE AND HANDLING
1.1 Storage
When valves are to be stored for some time
(2months or more) before being fitted, storage
should be in the original delivery crates or cases.
IMPORTANT
Before valves are installed or used the following
actions are recommended.
1. Valves/parts have to be inspected and
thoroughly cleaned if required.
2. Elastomer parts need to be greased with
silicone grease if not present anymore.
3. All surfaces in contact with seats have to be
thoroughly cleaned and greased with silicone
grease if stored for more than 5 months.
1.2 Handling
To prevent damage during handling, the valves
should be lifted by using appropriate lifting
equipment. Do not fasten lifting devices around
the valve operating shaft, actuator or through
the valve waterway. The valve should be lifted
with chains or slings which are fastened to rods
or bolts which go through the bolt holes in the
body flanges. The valves should be protected
from external events e.g. (bumps, hitting and
vibration) during transport.
Any flange protection caps need to be removed
before the valve is mounted in the pipeline.
Lift the valve with great care from the transport
package (crate, pallet). While handling or
installing the valve, ensure that no damage
occurs to the valve, the pneumatic/electrical/hydraulic actuator or other instrumentation.
4.
Misuse of the valve is not allowed. Forexample:
the valve, handles, actuators or other parts may
not be used as ‘climbing tools’.
5.
Ensure that valve pressure/temperature
limitations marked on the identification tag are
within the service conditions. The trim number
on the valve’s nameplate identifies the valve
materials. See Product Manual for valve specific
P/T diagram and trim number definition.
6. Ensure that valve materials are compatible
with the pipeline fluid.
1.1.1 Storage conditions
The valves should be stored off the ground in a
clean, dry indoor area.
Protect the valve from temperature and
humidity extremes, and exposure to excessive
dust, moisture, vibration, deformations,
sunlight and ozone.
Only original Keystone spare parts are
allowed to be used. Safe operation cannot be
guaranteed if third party spare parts are used.
3 INSTALLATION
WARNING!
For safety reasons, it is important to take the
following precautions before you start work on
the valve:
1.
Personnel making any adjustments to the valves
should utilize suitable equipment. Allrequired
personal protection means should be worn.
2. The line must be depressurized before
installing the valve.
3. Installation and handling of valves should be
done only by personnel who are trained in all
aspects of manual and mechanical handling
techniques.

3.2 Flange and pipe compatibility
Check matching of flange drilling pattern of
valve and pipe before assembly.
Flanges have to meet the following
requirements (see Figure 1):
- The face inside diameter should be:
D min.: The valve Q-dimension + adequate
disc clearance.
D max.: The optimum inside diameter (ID)
is equal to the inside diameter of
flange standard EN 1092-1, table 8,
type 11 or ASME B16.5, table 8, Weld
Neck, dimensions B. For larger than
D max inside diameters or other
flange types please contact your local
Emerson Sales organization, as larger
inside diameters might result in
reduced valve functionality.
- If the flange (or pipe) is provided with a
raised face, the diameter of this shall be at
least 8 mm larger than the YY-dimension of
thevalve.
The use of the flange-gaskets is not allowed
since it might damage the valve.
The Keystone seat-face design eliminates the
need for the gaskets.
Use flange bolting in accordance with
appropriate standard.
and 3 to 5 pipe diameters straight outlet piping.
A valve is not a crow-bar. Do not use the valve
to spread the flanges. Seat damage might
result.
NOTES
• The valve can be installed in the pipe-line either
with or without the actuator mounted on top of the
valve. Make sure to turn the disc slowly in the event
there is a mismatch causing the disc to touch the
adjacent piping.
• It is the responsibility of the valve user and not the
valve manufacturer to ensure that the pipeline
system has been built professionally and the valve
has been properly installed.
• Adjacent piping must be positioned so that minimal
piping stresses are transmitted to the valve flanges
during or after installation.
• Handling and lifting of the valves during installation
MUST be performed following the same instructions
described in previous section ‘1.2 Handling’.
IMPORTANT
Mating flange faces should be in good condition
and free of dirt and/or inclusions and pipe insides
should be well cleaned.

Do not use flange gaskets, as this could lead
to valve damage!
3.3 Valve installation
The valves are bi-directional and may be installed
in either direction relative to the flow. The valve
will control flow equally in either direction.
For valve sizes DN 600-1000 (NPS 24-40)
therecommended installation position is
shaft horizontal and the lower disc edge
opening down-stream. (Especially for slurry
service and media with a tendency for
sedimentation). Valves can be purchased
with an option for vertical shaft installation.
ValvesDN 1050 (NPS 42) and above must be
installed with the shaft in horizontal position.
For optimum valve control and smooth
performance, it is recommended to have a 10
to 20 pipe diameters of straight run inlet piping

allow the flanges to cool completely.
6. Install the valve now according to the
procedure for installing in existing systems.
3.4 Valve verification
Check the operation of the valve by operating it
to ‘full open’ and ‘full close’. To verify the valve
operation, the disc position indicator on the
actuator or the handle should rotate between
the ‘full open’ and ‘full close’ indicators on
the actuator or throttle plate. For normal
installation the valve disc travels clockwise
toclose.
3. Close the valve clockwise, return to open position
and cross-tighten all bolting.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
3.5 Sources of possible danger
This section contains some examples of
possible foreseen danger sources.
3.5.1 Mechanical
A. When manual operators are used, available
space should be checked in order to avoid
hands being clamped.
B. Mechanical sparks caused on impact of
valve and e.g. tooling, are a potential source
of ignition of surrounding atmosphere.
3.5.2 Electrical
If static charges or stray electrical currents
can initiate explosions, the valve should be
grounded to earth.
3.5.3 Thermal
A. Isolation should be used on valves with
application temperatures > +40°C (+104°F)
and < -20°C (-4°F) to prevent them from
being touched (to avoid burning).
B. If the valve is used in hot gas/fluid
applications that might give exothermic
reactions, precautions must be taken so
that the valve surface cannot lead to danger
for people or the direct environment. In dust
and possible explosion zones, the operation
temperatures and ignition temperatures for
dust should be reviewed.
3.5.4 Operational
Closing a valve too fast may result in water
hammer in the upstream part of the pipeline.
Water hammer results in excessive stresses in
the valve and will cause severe damage.
Water hammer should be avoided in all
circumstances.
Due to differential pressure across the valve
disc, butterfly valves have the tendency to be
closed by the flow. This is called ‘dynamic
torque’. Take care when unlatching the valve
operating mechanism. The valve might be
closed by the dynamic torque created by
theflow.
4 MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Depressurize and, if necessary in case of
dangerous fluids, drain the line and flush with
appropriate cleaning fluid before starting any
maintenance. Failure to do so may cause serious
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Before disassembling the valve, ensure the valve
has been decontaminated correctly from any
harmful gasses or liquids and that it is within
asafe temperature range for handling.
Personnel making any adjustments to the valves
should utilize suitable equipment. All required
personal protection means should be worn.
We recommend that personnel should be trained
in all aspects of these instructions before carrying
out handling of any valve.
4.1 Routine maintenance
The Keystone Series GRF butterfly valves
are designed to require a minimum of
maintenance.
Routine maintenance or lubrication is not
required, we recommend periodic (visual)
inspection to ensure satisfactory operation and
sealing to the environment.
4.2 Removing the valve from the pipe system
1. Turn the disc to nearly closed position.
(Thedisc is in line with the keyway in
theshaft).
2. Secure the valve with proper lifting
equipment and loosen all flange bolts and
remove the bolts, which prevent removing
ofthe valve.
3. Spread the flanges with adequate tooling,
and remove the valve.
