1GENERAL
1.1Scope of the manual
This installation, operation and maintenance manual provides essential information on L1 and L2 series Neldisc® triple eccentric disc valves. The actuators and instrumentation
to be used with L1 and L2 series valves are also discussed
briefly. Refer to the separate actuator and control equipment instruction manuals for further information.
NOTE:
Selection and use of the valve in a specific application
requires close consideration of detailed aspects. Due to
the nature of the product, this manual cannot cover all the
individual situations that may occur when installing, using
or servicing the valve.
If you are uncertain about use of the valve or its suitability
for your intended purpose, please contact Metso for more
information.
For valves in oxygen service, please see also the separate
installation, maintenance and operating instructions for
oxygen service (see Metso document id:10O270EN.pdf)
1.2Valve description
Neldisc series L1 is a wafer type and series L2 a lug type triple eccentric disc valve.
The disc is elliptical and has a double eccentric mounting.
When the valve is closed, the elliptical disc at the major axis
displaces the seat ring outward, causing the seat ring to
contact the disc at the minor axis. When the valve is
opened, the contact is released and the seat ring returns to
its original circular shape (see Fig. 1).
The disc is fitted to the shafts with pins and there are no
holes through the disc.
Construction details of individual valves are included in the
type code shown on the valve identification plate. To interpret the type code, please refer to Section 11.
The valve operates both in control and shut-off applications.
1.3Valve markings
Body markings are cast on the body. The valve also has an
identification plate attached to it (see Fig. 2).

1.8Safety precautions
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the valve performance limitations!
Exceeding the limitations marked on the valve may cause
damage and lead to uncontrolled pressure release.
Damage or personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
Dismantling or removing a pressurized valve will result in
uncontrolled pressure release. Always isolate the relevant
part of the pipeline, release the pressure from the valve
and remove the medium before dismantling the valve. Be
aware of the type of medium involved. Protect people and
the environment from any harmful or poisonous substances. Make sure that no medium can enter the pipeline
during valve maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Beware of the discs cutting movement!
Keep hands, other parts of the body, tools and other
objects out of the open flow port. Leave no foreign
objects inside the pipeline.
When the valve is actuated, the disc functions as a cutting
device. The position of the disc can also be changed when
moving the valve.
Close and detach the actuator pressure supply pipeline for
valve maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.
2TRANSPORTATION, RECEPTION AND
STORAGE
Check the valve and the accompanying devices for any
damage that may have occurred during transport.
Store the valve carefully before installation, preferably
indoors in a dry place.
Do not take the valve to the intended location and do not
remove the flow port protectors until the valve is installed.
The valve is delivered in the closed position. A valve
equipped with a spring-return actuator is delivered in a
position determined by the spring. During storage the
valve must be lightly closed.
3INSTALLATION
3.1General
Remove the flow port protectors and check that the valve is
undamaged and clean inside.
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package, bear in
mind its weight!
Follow the lifting methods shown in Fig. 3.
CAUTION:
Beware of noise emissions!
The valve may produce noise in the pipeline. The noise
level depends on the application. It can be measured or
calculated using Metso Nelprof computer program.
Observe the relevant work environment regulations on
noise emission.
CAUTION:
Beware of a very cold or hot valve!
The valve body may be very cold or very hot during use.
Protect yourself against cold injuries or burns.
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package, bear in
mind its weight!
Never lift the valve or valve package by the actuator, positioner, limit switch or their piping.
Valve sizes DN 350 and over are equipped with a lifting
eye bolt.
Place the lifting ropes securely around the valve body (see
Fig. 3).
Damage or personal injury may result from falling parts.
NOTE:
Do not turn the disc more than 90° as this could damage
the seat. The valve is so constructed that the disc operates
only between 0-90°.
Fig. 3.Lifting of the valve
3.2Mounting into the pipeline
Flush or blow the pipeline carefully before installing the
valve. Foreign particles, such as sand or pieces of welding
electrode, will damage the disc sealing surface and seat.
The valve may be installed in any position and offers tightness in both directions.
Install the valve in the pipeline so that the shaft is horizontal, if possible. However, we do not recommend installing
the valve with the actuator on the underside because dirt in
the pipeline may then enter the body cavity and damage
the gland packing.
If the valve is equipped with a flow balancing trim (type code
S-...), it must be on the downstream side of the valve body.
The valve must be mounted so that the perforated plate will
not collect any impurities in the pipeline (see Fig. 4).
Select flange gaskets according to the operating conditions.
Do not attempt to correct pipeline misalignment by means
of flange bolting.
It may be necessary to firmly support the pipeline to protect the valve from excess stress. Sufficient support will also
reduce pipeline vibration and this ensures proper functioning of the positioner. Do not fasten supports to the flange
bolting or to the actuator.
2 L1 71 en5
Flow direction B
The recommended
position of the
perforated plate is at
the "top" of the
pipeline, on the
downstream side and
to flow direction B.
In case of sudden shutdown of the energy supply the valve
will open unexpectedly due to pre-stressed spring package.
This may cause significant harm to people and material
around the valve.
In valves with certain nominal sizes some flange bolts do
not pass the valve body. The valve body is thus equipped
with grooves, holes or threads (see Section 3.2.1).
Ensure that the disc can turn to the open position after preliminary tightening of the flange bolts. The actuators of
control valves are usually equipped with position stops
Fig. 4.Position of the flow balancing trim
which usually only allow the disc to open 80°.
It is recommended that the length of any straight pipe
preceding the control valve is at least 2 x pipe diameter.
The flow causes a so-called dynamic torque against the
valve disc which attempts to close the valve. In a pipe
elbow the pressure on the outer edge is higher than on the
inner edge.
When installing the valve immediately after a pipe elbow,
the valve shaft must be directed toward the centre point of
the pipe (see Fig. 5). This is especially important when the
valve is used as a control valve.
Fig. 7.Minimum pipe inside dimensions
The valve shaft of a triple eccentric disc valve mounted after
the centrifugal pump must be perpendicular to the pump
shaft (see Fig. 6).
When thus installed, the valve discs will be more evenly
loaded and vibrations otherwise possible in the intermediate positions will be eliminated.

When mounting the valve it must be in a closed position
and be carefully centred between the pipe flanges so that
the turning disc does not touch the pipe edge or flange
gaskets.
Use caution when installing valve with Spring-to-open
actuator. Valve must be in closed position during installation if the disc exceeds the Face-to-face length. Energy supply for the actuator must be safely fastened and it cannot
suffer damage or break off during the installation.

Insulation limit
3.2.2Valve insulation
If necessary, the valve may be insulated. Insulation must not
continue above the upper level of the valve body, see
Figure 10.
Fig. 10Insulation of the valve
3.3Actuator
When installing the actuator on the valve, make sure that
the valve package functions properly. See instructions for
installing in Section 6.
Observe the space needed for removal of the actuator.
The upright position is recommended for the actuator cylinder.
The actuator must not touch the pipeline, because pipeline
vibration may damage it or interfere with its operation.
In some cases, e.g. when a large-size actuator is used or
when the pipeline vibrates heavily, supporting the actuator
is recommended. Please contact Metso’s Automation business for further information.
4COMMISSIONING
Ensure that no dirt or foreign objects are left inside the
valve or pipeline. Flush the pipeline carefully. Keep the
valve 30-40° open during flushing.
When starting up the pump, ensure that the valve in the
pipeline is closed or, at the very most, 20° open.
A waterhammer, which follows the start-up of high-capacity pumps, creates a torque peak in the disc. This can damage the pin connection between disc and shaft when the
valve is 30-90° open.
The gland packing may leak after long storage. Tighten
both nuts in the packing evenly until the leakage stops.
5MAINTENANCE
5.1Maintenance general
CAUTION:
Observe the safety precautions mentioned in Section
1.8 before maintenance!
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package as a
whole, bear in mind the weight of the valve or the
entire package
CAUTION:
For safety reasons the retaining plates MUST always
be installed acc. to section 5.2.
Although Metso’s Neles valves are designed to work under
severe conditions, proper preventative maintenance can
significantly help to prevent unplanned downtime and in
real terms reduce the total cost of ownership. Metso recommends inspecting the valves at least every five (5) years.
The inspection and maintenance interval depends on the
actual application and process condition.
The inspection and maintenance intervals can be specified
together with your local Metso experts. During this periodic inspection the parts detailed in the Spare Part Set
should be replaced.
Time in storage should be included in the inspection interval.
Maintenance can be performed as presented below. For
maintenance assistance, please contact your local Metso
office.
The part numbers in the text refer to the exploded view and
to the parts list in Section 9, unless otherwise stated.
NOTE:
When sending goods to the manufacturer for repair, do
not disassemble them. Clean the valve carefully and flush
the valve internals.
For safety reasons, inform the manufacturer of the type of
medium used in the valve (include material safety datasheets (MSDS)).
NOTE:
In order to ensure safe and effective operation, always use
original spare parts to make sure that the valve functions
as intended.
NOTE:
For safety reasons, replace pressure retaining bolting if the
threads are damaged, have been heated, stretched or corroded.
5.2Removing the valve from the pipeline
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
It is generally most convenient to detach the actuator and its
auxiliary devices (see Section 6), before removing the valve
from the pipeline. If the valve package is small or difficult to
access, it may be more practical to remove the entire package
at the same time.
Ensure that the valve is not pressurized and the pipeline is
empty. Ensure that the medium cannot flow into the section
where servicing is to take place. The valve must be in a closed
position when removing.
Support the valve carefully with a hoist. Place ropes carefully
and unscrew the pipe flange bolts. Ensure that the ropes are
positioned correctly (see Fig. 3). Lift valve correctly (see Fig. 3).
82 L1 71 en
5.3Replacing the gland packing
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
PTFE V-rings are used as a standard gland packing and graphite rings for high temperature constructions. The packing construction is live loaded as standard.
The gland packing (20) must be changed if leakage occurs
even after the hex nuts (25) have been tightened as recommended.
Make sure the valve is not pressurized.
Unfasten the nuts (25) and remove the disc spring
(TA-Luft) sets (43), the retaining plates (42) and the
gland (9).
Remove old packing rings (20). Do not damage the sur-
faces of the packing ring counterbore and shaft.
Clean the gland packing and packing ring counter-
bore. Install new set of packings (V-ring or graphite).
Slip the rings onto the shaft. Ensure that there are no
burrs in the keyway groove which could damage the
packing.
Install the gland.
Mount the retaining plates with the text UPSIDE on
top (see Fig. 11).

Mount the disc spring sets.
Place the nuts on the studs.
Pre-compress the gland packing by tightening the
nuts with a tool until the disc springs have value of
compression (h1–h2) as in Table 5.
Carry out 3…5 operation cycles with the valve. Suita-
ble range of movement is about 80 %.
It is not necessary to fully close or open the valve
during the operation.
Unfasten the nuts and disc springs.
Measure the height h1 of the disc springs and use
these values as a basis when defining the final
height of the springs (as compressed condition)
Re-install the disc springs and tighten the nuts with
the tool. Tighten the nuts until the set value of compression (h1–h2) of disc springs is achieved, see
Tab le 5.
Fig. 12.Gland packing
If the leakage still occurs when the valve is pressur-
ized, re-tighten the nuts but don't exceed the values
in the Table 5 by 50 % or do not fully compress the
disc springs.
5.4Valve leakage
Valve leakage is not always caused by a damaged seat ring or
disc. The reason can also be that the disc is not in the closed
position.
Check the position of the actuator relative to the
valve. The screws may be loose or the bracket damaged.
Check the adjustment in the closed position (see
Section 6.4).
The marking line parallel to the disc on the valve shaft head
shows roughly the closed position of the disc (see Fig. 13).
Pressure chocks can cause loosening of the pin connection
between disc and shaft; consequently the shaft moves
while the disc remains in place and this prevents full closing
of the disc.
If the reason for the leakage does not become apparent
after doing the above, the valve must be disassembled for
replacing the parts.
2 L1 71 en9
open
close
Check the position between the seat ring and the
disc. The valve closes clockwise (see Fig. 13).
Mount the actuator into the valve. Adjust the closed
position limit and check the open position limit (see
Section 6.4).
5.6Replacing the disc, shafts and bearings
5.6.1Disassembling the valve
The pin connection of the disc must be opened by drilling for
changing the disc (3), shafts (11, 12) and bearings (15, 16).
Fig. 13.The contact line between the disc and seat ring
5.5Replacing the seat ring
CAUTION:
Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipeline while the valve is pressurized!
Ensure that the valve is not pressurized.
Remove the valve from the pipeline. The valve must
be in a closed position during removal.
Follow the lifting methods shown in Section 3.
Remove the clamp ring (2) by untightening the
screws (27).
Remove the old body seal (19) and the seat ring (4).
Change the seat ring if it is damaged.
Clean all the seating surfaces of the body and clamp
ring. Check the surface of the seat ring.
Check also the condition of the disc. A damaged disc
must be changed (see Section 5.6).
Check the condition of the pin connection. Repair it
if necessary (see Section 5.6).
Fig. 14.Mounting the body seal
Mount a new, self-adhesive body seal (19) into the
body. The surface must be clean and free of grease.
Handle the ends of the seal according to Fig. 14.
Spray a thin layer of dry lubricating fluid, e.g.
Molykote 321R or equivalent, into the seat groove,
surfaces of the clamp ring and seat ring.
Centre the seat ring (4) carefully into its groove and
turn the disc to maintain light contact with the seat.
Mount the clamp ring and tighten the screws (27)
lightly.
Turn the disc slightly open and pull it back to set the
seat into the proper position.
Tighten the screws (27) evenly. An unevenly tight-
ened flange may damage the seat ring. The screw
heads must be below the flange surface.
Remove the valve from the pipeline and the actuator
from the valve.
Remove the clamp ring (2) and seat ring (4) accord-
ing to section 5.5.
Set the valve horizontally on a sturdy surface so that
the flat side of the disc lays against the surface, see
Fig. 15.
Fig. 15.Drilling the pins
Drill the holes carefully to the centre of the pins (14).
Choose a drill 0.2-0.5 mm smaller than the diameter
of the pin.
Drill the holes deep, but not enough to reach the
disc.
Pull the pins out.
Dismantle the gland packing according to
Section 5.3.
Detach the screws (26) and the blind flange (10) and
remove the gasket (18).
Place rubber strips or other protection between the
disc edge and the body and remove the shafts (see
Fig. 16).
Remove the bearings (15, 16).
Clean and check all parts carefully.
Fig. 16.Protecting the disc during disassembly and assembly
102 L1 71 en
5.7Assembling the valve
Replace damaged parts with new ones.
Set the disc and the shaft together beforehand. In
case the pin holes have been damaged during
removal of the old pins the holes can be drilled to a
larger pin size. File off any burrs from the shafts.
The bearing material of the standard construction valves is
PTFE-impregnated stainless steel net.
The bearings for the high temperature valves (H-construction) are cobalt alloy bushings which are mounted into the
body together with the shafts.
Mount the bearings into the body (see Fig. 17).
Fig. 17.Mounting the standard bearings
H-construction: Mount the bearing into the shaft. Spray a
thin layer of dry lubricating fluid, e.g. Molykote 321R or
equivalent, into the inside surface of the bushing and the
shaft bearing groove. Press the bushing with a tightening
ring into the shaft bearing groove and fit the shaft with the
bearings carefully into the body through the tightening
ring (see Fig. 18).
NOTE:
Use only pins supplied by the manufacturer!
NOTE:
The pins must be pressed with enough force to deform
them so that the connection will be free from backlash.
Support the disc well in a horizontal position during
mounting of the pins. Push the new pins into the
holes and press them in a press to final form (see Fig.
19). Use a smaller tool than the pin diameter. See
Table 6 for force needed.
Install the gasket (18) and the blind flange (10).
Screws of the blind flange must be tightened evenly.
An unevenly tightened flange will damage the seat.
Install the seat ring. See details in Section 5.5.
Install the body seal (19) and the clamp ring (2). See
details in Section 5.5.
Install the gland packing (see Section 5.3).
Check the contact line between the seat ring and the
disc (see Fig. 13).
Fig. 18.Mounting the H-construction bearings
Place the disc horizontally on a surface so that the flat side
of the disc lays against the surface. Lift the body around the
disc so that the shaft bores are aligned with the bores in the
disc. Protect the disc (see Fig. 16).
Press the shafts into the disc drillings. Align the pin holes.
The shaft (11) position against the disc must be according
to Fig. 13.

6DETACHING AND MOUNTING THE
ACTUATOR
6.1General
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package, bear in
mind its weight!
NOTE:
Do not turn the disc more than 90° as this could damage
the seat. The valve is so constructed that the disc operates
only between 0-90°.
6.2Detaching the actuator
CAUTION:
The actuator cannot be removed from the valve when
the pipeline is under pressure as a result of dynamic
torque!
NOTE:
Before dismantling, carefully observe the position of the
valve with respect to the actuator and positioner/limit
switch so as to ensure that the package can be properly
reassembled.
The actuator is factory-mounted on the valve and the
stroke limit stop screws are adjusted in advance.
Ensure that the pipeline is not pressurized.
Disconnect the actuator from its power source;
detach the air supply pipe and control signal cables
or pipes from their connectors.
Unscrew the bracket screws.
Detach the actuator using a suitable extractor. The
correct tool can be ordered from the manufacturer
(see Fig. 20).
Remove the bracket and coupling, if any.
6.3Mounting the actuator onto the valve
Turn the valve to the closed position before mount-
ing the actuator.
Clean the shaft and the shaft bore and file off any
burrs which could interfere with mounting. Protect
the joint surfaces from corrosion, e.g. with Cortec VCI
369.
If a bushing is required between the actuator shaft
bore and the valve shaft, mount it first in the actuator shaft bore.
The valve keyway is on the side opposite the flat side
of the disc. The actuator shaft bore has two keyways
set 90° apart.
For double-acting cylinder actuator, B1C, and spring-
return cylinder actuator, B1J (spring-to-close),
choose the keyway which establishes the piston in
its upper position (at the top end of the cylinder)
when the valve is closed.
In the spring-return cylinder actuator B1JA (springtoopen), choose the keyway which establishes the
piston in its lower position when the valve is open.
In valves with manual operation the disc must be
closed by turning the handwheel clockwise.
Check visually that the actuator is correctly posi-
tioned relative to the valve. Tighten all the fastening
screws as tightly as possible.
Adjust the stop screws to the closed position (see
Section 6.4).
The opening angle in a control valve is usually lim-
ited by a bolt to 80°. The opening angle of a shut-off
valve is 90°.
When a shaft extension is required, the sizing of the
shaft extension must be discussed with the valve
manufacturer.
6.4Stop screw adjustment
Fig. 20.Removing the actuator with an extractor
6.4.1General
Close the metal seated triple eccentric disc valve by turning
the disc with a torque against the seat. Choose the torque
from Tables 8 and 9 for adjusting the stop screw to the
closed position of the actuator. Try not to exceed the given
values since excessive torque would strain the seat and the
joint between the disc and the shaft. Always readjust the
stop screw after changing the seat and after mounting the
actuator.
6.4.2Actuators other than tabulated
Close the valve as per the tabulated torque Mc and adjust
the stops accordingly. Note the increased torque created by
the actuator while the valve is closed.
NOTE:
Metso accepts no responsibility for compatibility of actuators not installed by Metso.

6.4.3Changing the mounting position
CAUTION:
The actuator must not be removed from the valve in a
pipeline under pressure as a result of dynamic torque!
Always remove the actuator from the valve shaft before
mounting it into another key groove. Readjust the closed
position limit as instructed.
If manually operated, the valve should close when the
handwheel is turned clockwise. In a double-action cylinder,
the piston must be in the upper position of the cylinder
when the valve is closed. In this position the actuator creates maximum torque. Do not turn the disc more than 90°
as this could damage the seat.
6.4.5Manual operator M
Close the valve as per the tabulated primary torque
M1 (handwheel torque) given in Tables 8 and 9.
Tighten the closed position stop screw until it
touches the linkage, then turn back 1/4 turn and lock
up with Loctite 225.

6.4.4Double-acting cylinder actuator B1C
Apply the tabulated shut-off pressure Pc to the air
connection at the cylinder base.
With the stop screw removed, check through the air
connection hole that the piston does not touch the
cylinder end. If it does, loosen the bracket screws
and turn the actuator clockwise to increase the
adjusting margin.

Turn the closed position stop screw until it touches
the piston, then turn back 1/4 turn and lock up. Leak-
proof with Loctite 225 or other non-hardening seal-
ant. The sealant must not flow inside the cylinder.
An extra long screw is needed for opening angles
< 80°.

Spring-to-close
Before mounting the cylinder, screw in the closed
position stop screw completely.
The table overleaf indicates *) spring when the
spring-created torque does not exceed the maximum permitted closing torque Mc. Otherwise, apply
the tabulated pressure Pc into the air connection at
the cylinder end against the spring force. The stop
screw cannot be removed when the cylinder is
pressurized! Open the stop screw until it does not
touch the piston.
Turn the closed position stop screw until it touches
the piston, then turn back 1/4 turn and lock up. An
O-ring is used for leakproofing the stop screw.
After adjusting, check the adjusting margin through
the air connection hole. The piston must not touch
the cylinder end. If necessary, increase the margin by
loosening the bracket screws and turning the actuator clockwise.

6.4.8Spring-return cylinder actuator B1JA
Spring-to-open
The actuator being unpressurized the valve is open.
Unscrew the close limit stop screw (actuator housing). Apply tabulated shut-off pressure Pc to the air
connection at the cylinder bottom end against the
spring force to close the valve.
Check through the stop screw hole that the piston
rod does not touch the cylinder top end. If it does,
loosen the bracket screws and turn the actuator
clockwise to increase the adjusting margin.
Turn the closed position stop screw until it touches
the piston, then turn back 1/4 turn and lock up. Leakproof with Loctite 225 or other non-hardening sealant. The sealant must not flow inside the cylinder.
An extra long screw is needed for opening angles
<80°.
7TOOLS
No special tools are needed for servicing the valve.
However, we recommend an extractor for removing the
actuator from the valve. The tool can be ordered from the
manufacturer.
