1GENERAL
1.1Scope of the manual
This installation, operation and maintenance manual
provides essential information on series LW and LG
Neldisc
®
triple eccentric disc valves. The actuators and
instrumentation to be used with series LW and LG
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 the use of the valve or its
suitability for your intended use, please contact
Metso’s Automation business for more information.
1.2Valve description
Neldisc series LW are wafer type and series LG are lug
type metal seated triple eccentric disc valves.
The disc is elliptical and has a triple 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).

1.6CE marking
The valve meets the requirements of the European
Directive 97/23/EC relating to pressure equipment, and
has been marked according to the Directive.
1.7Recycling and disposal
Most valve parts can be recycled if sorted according to
material.
Most parts have material marking. A material list is supplied with the valve. In addition, separate recycling and
disposal instructions are available from the manufacturer. A valve can also be returned to the manufacturer
for recycling and disposal against a fee.
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.
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 software.
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.
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°.

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.
The recommended
position of the
perforated plate
is at the "top"
of the
pipeline
Flow direction
Fig. 4.Position of the flow balancing trim
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.
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 triple eccentric disc 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.
The valve shaft of a 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.
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 down stream 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.

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.
In valves with certain nominal sizes some flange bolts
do not pass the valve body. The valve body is thus
equipped with holes, see Fig. 2 and Tables 2...4.
Ensure that the disc can turn to the open position after
preliminary tightening of the flange bolts. The actuators
of control valves can be equipped with position stops
which usually only allow the disc to open 80°.
Lenght of stud bolts in Table 2 are based on:
❑gasket thickness of 1.5 mm
❑heavy nuts with washers
❑flange thickness of weldneck flanges per DIN or
ISO
3.2.1Valve insulation
If necessary, the valve may be insulated. Insulation
must not continue above the upper level of the valve
body, see Figure 9.
Insulation limit
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 highcapacity 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 packing construction is live loaded. So tightening
the packing screws during service is not necessary.

5SERVICE
CAUTION:
Observe the safety precautions listed in Section
1.8 before starting work!
CAUTION:
For safety reasons the retaining plates MUST always
be installed according to Section 5.3.
5.1General
Triple eccentric disc valves require no regular maintenance. If the valve should require maintenance for
some reason, a few simple service measures are normally sufficient.
The numbers in parentheses refer to the par ts list and
the exploded view of the valve in Section 9.
NOTE:
If you send the valve to the manufacturer for repair, do
not dismantle it. Clean the valve carefully, including
the inside. For safety reasons, inform the manufacturer
of the type of medium used in the valve.
❑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
surfaces of the packing ring counterbore and shaft.
It is not necessary to change anti-extrusion ring (22).
❑Clean the gland packing and packing ring coun-
terbore. 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. 10).
NOTE:
Always use original spare parts to ensure that the
valve functions as intended.
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. Lift valve correctly
(see Fig. 3).
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.
Fig. 10. Mounting the retaining plate
❑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 (h
) as in Table 5.
1–h2
❑Carry out 3…5 operation cycles with the valve.
Suitable 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 h
of the disc springs and
1
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 (h
) of disc springs is
1–h2
achieved, see Table 5.

❑If the leakage still occurs when the valve is pres-
surized, 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. 12).
Pressure shocks 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.

❑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).
❑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. 13.
❑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) crosswise and evenly.
Recommended torque values for screws are listed
in Table 6. An unevenly tightened flange may
damage the seat ring. The screw heads must be
below the flange surface in lug type valves.

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).
❑Remove the valve from the pipeline and the actu-
ator from the valve.
❑Remove the clamp ring (2) and seat ring (4)
according to section 5.4.
❑Set the valve horizontally on a sturdy surface so
that the flat side of the disc lays against the surface (see Fig. 14).
❑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 including anti-extrution-
ring (22) and sheet ring (21) 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. 15).
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 (N and Hconstructions) are cobalt alloy bushings which are
mounted into the body together with the shafts.
❑Mount the bearings into the body (see Fig. 16).
❑High temperature-construction: Mount the bear-
ing into the shaft. Spray a thin layer of dry lubricat-
ing 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. 17).
❑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. Pro-
tect the disc (see Fig. 15).

6DETACHING AND INSTALLING THE
ACTUATOR
6.1General
CAUTION:
When handling the valve or the valve package,
bear in mind its weight!
CAUTION:
The actuator must not be removed from the valve
in a pipeline under pressure as result of dynamic
torque!
stroke limit stop screws are adjusted in advance.
6.2Detaching the B1 series actuators
❑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. 19).
❑Remove the bracket and coupling, if any.
Fig. 19. Pressing the pins
6.3Detaching the EC and EJ actuators
❑Disconnect the actuator from its power source;
detach the air supply pipe and control signal
cables or pipes from their connectors.
❑First detach the positioner, or any other accessory,
from the actuator, and detach the coupling plate from
the drive shaft. Next, the bushing is loosened by turning the tightening screw counter-clockwise. The tightening screw also acts as an extractor. It is highly
recommended to use a suitable bushing from the
tool set H061544 between the tightening screw
(I) and drive shaft. The bushing dimensions are
given in Table 8.
❑Detach the actuator finally from the valve after the
screws that attach the actuator to the valve have
been removed.
CAUTION:
Do not detach a spring-return actuator unless a
stop-screw is carrying the spring force!
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°.
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
❑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-toclose), 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
(spring-to-open), choose the keyway which
establishes the piston in its lower position when
the valve is open.
❑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 6.7).
❑The opening angle in a control valve can be lim-
ited by a stop screw 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.
according to Fig. 23. Insert cylindrical pins (III) in
the bushing slots, these must be directed into the
corresponding slots in the actuator during tight-
ening. Before the installation of the bushing and
the tightening screw, remove impurities such as
old threadlocking material from the threads of the
tightening screw, and apply Loctite 243 or similar
threadlock carefully to the threads, as shown in
Fig. 23. Turn the tightening screw from inside the
actuator shaft using a suitable hex key, Fig. 23.
❑Prior to installation, the correct shaft position of
the valve has to be checked. In the key-type
bushing there are four keyways, two of which are
intended for valves with DIN key and two for
valve shafts with ANSI key. The DIN keyway is
located in the split between the bushing halves,
and the ANSI keyway is located in the middle of
the half bushing. Fig. 22 shows the keyway posi-
tion when the actuator is in a closed position.
❑The open or closed positions of the actuator can
be identified either by using compressed air, see
Fig. 20, or by checking the position of the pointer
at the end of the drive shaft. The actuator is closed
if the pointer on the coupling plate is transverse to
the direction of the actuator’s main shaft.
❑In the bushing having blade head connection
checking the right position is more simple. Use
the pointer in the end of the drive shaft to see the
correct position.
❑Mount the actuator to the valve bracket with four
screws. The tightening screw of the bushing
should be loosened before mounting, to allow
the shaft to fit easily into the actuator.

split
6.5Installing EC and EJ actuators
The actuator is attached to a bracket via an ISO 5211
standard mounting interface. The actuator is adapted
to the valve shaft with a separate bushing. The bushing
(II + II) is a two-piece cone-shaped bushing, which is
tightened firmly with a tightening screw (I) around the
valve shaft.

❑The actuator construction allows axial movement
of the drive shaft. Check, before the screw is
tightened, that the drive shaft is in the upper
position of its axial movement, which is its normal
position (the mounting position shown in Fig. 23).
Checking is important, as the actuator shaft
drops down slightly when the screw is tightened.
The drive shaft axial movement can be observed
and measured before attachment to a valve. The
actuator drive shaft is in the upper position when
its upper surface conforms to Table 9 (see Fig.
23).

❑The drive shaft will automatically find its correct
position when the tightening screw is tightened, if
the installation tool is used (see Figure 23). The
installation tool is attached instead of the coupling
plate using M4 screws with the drive shaft in upper
position (before the valve is installed). Tighten the
screws in such a way that the tool is tightened
against the upper surface of the housing.
❑Install the actuator on the valve and attach the
attachment screws normally. Finally, tighten the tightening screw according to Table 9. The required
torque is also marked on a plate close to the drive
shaft on the actuator housing. The installation tool is
removed, and the coupling plate is reattached. The
valve may malfunction if the tightening of the
connection has been carried out improperly.
❑Finally, the extreme positions of the valve are
adjusted with the stop screws at the ends of the
actuator. The location of the screws for adjusting
the Close and Open positions of the valve are
marked with letters on the ends of the actuator
housing (see Figure 21).
Installation tool
6.7.1General
Close the metal seated triple eccentric disc valve by
turning the disc with a torque against the seat. Choose
the torque from Tables 11 and 12 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.
6.7.2Actuators 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.
6.7.3Changing the mounting position
CAUTION:
The actuator must not be removed from the valve
in a pipeline under pressure as 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.
