KTM HINDLE ULTRA-SEAL SERIES 110 ONE PIECE METAL SEATED BALL VALVES

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood

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 equipment and
clothing normally used to work with
theprocess where the valve is installed.

2. The line must be depressurized, drained and
vented before installing the valve.

3.

Handling and Installation of all valves, operators
and actuators must be carried out by personnel
trained in all aspects of installation and manual/
mechanical handling techniques.

4. Ensure the valve pressure/temperature
limitations marked on the identification label
are above or equal to service conditions.

1 STORAGE/PROTECTION/SELECTION

Storage

When valves are to be stored for some time
before being fitted, storage should be in
theoriginal delivery crates with any waterproof
lining and/or desiccant remaining in place.
Storage should be off the ground in a clean, dry,
indoor area. If storage is for a period exceeding
six months the desiccant bags (if supplied)
should be changed at this interval.

Protection

KTM Hindle valves are delivered with protection
according to customer’s specification, or in
accordance with the Quality Assurance Manual,
to protect the valve seats and closure member
from damage. Wrapping and/or covers should
be left in place until immediately before fitting
to the pipe.

2 INSTALLATION

1. KTM Hindle Series 110 valves are
bi-directional as standard and may be fitted
in either direction.

2. Installation may be carried out with stem
displaced through any angle permitt
thebolting.

3. Remove protective covers from valve faces.

4. Ensure that mating flanges and gaskets are
clean and undamaged.

5. Should there be any possibility of abrasive
particles (weld slag, sand etc.) within
thepiping system, this could damage valve
seating/ball. The system will need to be
flushed clean.

6. Ensure mating pipe flanges are aligned
correctly. Bolting should be easily inserted
through mating flange holes.

7. Fit the valve into pipework ensuring easy
access of the lever/handwheel.

8. Tighten the flange bolts in a diagonal pattern.

3 OPERATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

!! Read all warning labels fitted to the valve before
operation or maintenance !!

Scope

KTM Hindle Series 110 valves both manual and
actuated. For special service designs, typically
cryogenic see separate instructions.

Operation

All standard manually operated valves are
‘clockwise to close’. The closed position is
indicated by either the handlever or indicator
arrow being at 90° to the pipe/valve bore axis.

Spare parts

KTM Hindle valves are identified by a figure
number, which is stamped on the identification
plate, located on the valve body flange.
Thisreference should be quoted in respect of
any after sales queries, spare parts or repair
enquiries/orders.

Selection

Ensure the valve’s materials of construction
and pressure/temperature limits shown on
the identification plate are suitable for the
process fluid and conditions. If in doubt contact
KTMHindle.

Routine maintenance

No routine maintenance is required other
than periodic inspection to ensure satisfactory
operation and sealing. Any sign of leakage
from the gland packing should be addressed
immediately by depressurizing the valve
and tightening the gland nut. If no further
adjustment is possible, or if seat or joint
leakage is suspected, the valve will require a
complete overhaul. This should be carried out
after depressurisation and in accordance with
KTM Hindle Maintenance Instructions. Only
KTM Hindle spares should be used.

4 MAINTENANCE

Parts identification

The illustrations in Section 5 show the parts
comprising the Series 110 valves.

4.1 Replacement of valve components

If no further adjustment of the gland is possible
and stem leakage is still evident or seat
leakage is suspected, the valve will need to be
removed from the line in order for new seats/
seals to be fitted.
After removal of the valve, place the valve on a
workbench and adopt the following procedure to
remove/replace the seats/seals.

1. Remove sleeve (u
tool),

complete with sleeve seat, sleeve seat

gasket, energizer and Wavo spring.

2. Remove ball.

3. Remove body seat ring and body seat seal.

4. Remove the sleeve seat from the sleeve.

5. Remove the graphite seal, energizer ring
and Wavo spring from the sleeve, if needed.

6. Remove the operator (lever, gearbox,
actuator) in accordance with instructions in
Section4.2.

7. Remove stem nut, stop plate, Belleville
washers and wiper seal.

8. Remove gland screws and gland.

9. Remove stem and thrust seal.

10. Remove graphite fire-seals.

Refitting is the reversal of removal.
Before refitting, ensure all sealing and

metallic surfaces in seat pockets and stem
seal bores are free from damage/corrosion.
Minor defects can be polished using
abrasive cloth. If major defects are found
contact KTM Hindle’s service department
for possible repair or component exchange.

4.2 Removal and refitting of operator

Removal of handlever

1. Remove the lever screw and lever washer.

2. Remove the handlever.

Removal of actuator

1. Remove mounting bracket screws.

2. Remove mounting bracket and actuator.

3. Remove drive adaptor.

sing sleeve extraction

Assembly

1. Close valve fully.

2. Remove handlever screw and washer.

3. Remove handlever.

4. Remove stop screws and stop collars.

5. Ensure that adaptor coupling is a good
fitwith actuator drive and valve stem.

6. Position mounting bracket on to valve and
fitbracket screws. Do not tighten.

7. Position adaptor coupling on to valve.
Fasten with cap screw if provided.

8. Assemble actuator over adaptor coupling
and on to mounting bracket.

9. Fit actuator screws. Do not tighten.

10. With actuator secure, check for
free alignment of adaptor coupling
between actuator drive and valve stem.
Tightenmounting bracket screws and
re-check alignment.

11. With actuator in correct position,
tightenactuator screws.

12. If the actuator is fitted with travel stops,
adjust to the closed position. Operate to
theopen position and adjust so that the ball
port is aligned with the valve bore.

CAUTION

Before attempting any maintenance, ensure
the system has been fully depressurized and
if necessary drained of any dangerous fluids.
Thevalve being removed should be operated at
least once and left in half open position before
removal.
Before disassembling the valve, ensure the valve
has been decontaminated correctly from any
harmful gasses or fluids and that it is within a safe
temperature range for handling.
Personnel making any adjustments to the valves
should utilize equipment and clothing normally
used to work with the process where the valve
isinstalled.
Handling of all valves, operators and actuators
must be carried out by personnel trained in all
aspects of manual and mechanical handling
techniques.

Refitting is the reversal of removal.

4.3 Actuator assembly

Prior to assembly, check the following details

1. Actuator type and style, i.e. double acting or
spring return.

2. Position of actuator in relation to valve
andpipeline.

3. Fail-safe position of valve, i.e. open or closed.
