Install control valve in the highest horizontal line
of piping, in an accessible location and with
arrow on side of valve body in direction of fluid
flow. Control valve may be placed in any
position, but upright is preferable for ease of
maintenance.
Figure 1 - Typical Installation
Problem Preventing Procedures
1. Provide removal space above, below
and around control valve for easy
removal of parts during maintenance.
See proper drawing for dimensions.
2. Blow or flush out pipelines thoroughly
before installing control valve.
3. Protect control valve and the following
equipment with a self-cleaning strainer.
4. Install stop valves and gauges in inlet
and outlet lines to provide means for
checking adjustment and operation of
equipment.
5. Provide proper inlet and outlet drainage
in steam service to prevent water
hammer or possible erosion of
equipment.
6. Adhere to good piping practice. Install
a bypass around the control valve.
Connect operating medium tubing from control
pilot instrument or loading device to diaphragm
chamber connection of control valve or to valve
positioner, if one is in use.
Important: If control valve is fitted with a
Thermo-Isolating bonnet, do not lag or insulate
bonnet or paint it other than dull black, otherwise
its heat emitting efficiency will be impaired and
packing will be submitted to excessive
temperature.
RECOMMENDED PIPING FOR CONTROL
OF COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS AT VALUES
OF 25% OR LESS OF INLET PRESSURE.
1. Expand outlet pipe to twice control
2. Connect control pipe for control pilot
3. Make control pipe connection at least
NOTE: Where sensing impulse is taken 2’ to 3’
downstream from control valve (expander),
dimension “A” minimum of 6’ to 10’ will
provide lowest noise and velocity factors,
accurate pressure sensing and reasonable bypass
length.
The piping system must be adequately
designed and supported to prevent
valve inlet pipe size. Use tapered
expander.
ahead of outlet stop valve and at least 2’
to 3’ downstream from end of expander.
18” to 24’’ from outlet stop valve, any
elbow or other flow direction out
changing fitting. (see Fig. 2)
Figure 2 - Typical Control Valve Station for
Control of Compressible Fluids at 25% or
CAUTION!
Less of Inlet Pressure
OPERATION
1. Close inlet and outlet stop valves.
2. Check that control valve responds
properly through rated travel in relation
to changes in operating pressure on the
3
diaphragm. Rated travel is shown by
position of travel indicator on valve
stem relative to travel indicator scale on
yoke.
3. Manually operate control valves fitted
with manual operating devices through
rated travel to check freedom of
movement.
4. Place control valve in operation in
accordance with instructions furnished
with control pilot or other operating
device.
MAINTENANCE
(DL, DDL, DOS, DDOS – 600 lbs. or
less)
NOTE: To reduce maintenance time refer to
proper drawing and follow steps shown below
for applicable maintenance operation.

Replace valve plug stem packing if control valve
has been in service beyond normal maintenance
and packing shows signs of wear. Wear will be
indicated by leakage, which cannot be corrected
by minor tightening of packing flange.
Where Leslie BRAIDED TEFLON GRAPHITE
packing is in use, additional packing rings can be
installed to overcome minor leakage without
dismantling the control valve or breaking valve
plug connection.
Dismantling
1. Close inlet and outlet stop valves. Operate
system on bypass, if necessary.
2. Shut off operating medium and relieve
pressure from diaphragm by disconnecting
tubing at diaphragm case.
To Install a Complete Set of
Packing
1. Disassemble control valve as far as
necessary for work required. Remove old
packing. Clean valve plug stem and packing
box thoroughly. Polish valve plug stem with
crocus cloth. Use approved, non-residue
forming solvent for cleaning. Wipe dry with
clean cloth.
2. Insert a new set of packing in packing box in
the order shown on the packing wrapper.
Packing wrapper contains complete
installation instructions on how to install a
set of packing. Each wrapper shows the
order in which the various pieces of packing
are to be inserted in the particular valve in
which they are to be used.
3. After packing is installed, reassemble
packing follower, packing box flange and
bolts/studs to bonnet. Tighten bolts/studs as
shown in instruction on wrapper.
