When more detailed information is required, the NIBCO catalog should be referred to using the valve figure number as the guide.

D.SERVICE

When installing valves for service in corrosive media, the NIBCO Chemical Resistance Guide may be consulted for specific data or contact can be made with NIBCO Technical Services. It is, however, the obligation of the user to make the ultimate decision of fitness for use.

E.PRESSURE TEMPERATURE RATINGS

Pressure and temperature ratings may be found in the Engineering section of the latest printing of NIBCO catalog for the specific product needed. This information is taken from applicable ANSI Standards.

F.CODES & REGULATIONS

A valve specified for use in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ANSI Pressure Piping Code, government or other regulations, is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation and to other related applicable ANSI Standards.

G.PRODUCTION TEST PROCEDURES

Valves are pneumatically shell and seat tested at a pressure of 80 psi in accordance with Federal Specifications and MSS SP-70 Manufacturers Standardization Society requirements.

I.F-637 and F-639 Ductile valves – Have a Hydrostatic shell test of

440 PSI.

II.F-637 and F-639 Ductile valves – Pneumatic seat test each seat of 80 PSI. Allowable leakage per MSS SP-70.

F-637 – Hydrostatic seat test equal to maximum service pressure for which the valve is rated. Allowable leakage per MSS SP-70.

III.All other valves are tested in accordance with MSS SP-70.

H.PRINCIPAL DIMENSIONS

Principal dimensions of the valve are specified in the appropriate catalog 5-100.

1.3DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The gate valves listed above and covered in these guidelines are ductile iron, cast iron, alloy iron, bolted bonnet, outside screw and yoke - rising stem and inside screw - non rising stem valve types. The valve is operated with the handwheel. They are used to start or stop the flow of fluids in piping system. Clockwise rotation of the handwheel closes the valve. These valves should be used in the full on or full off position only.
