Ball Valve - FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

The approximate flow rate through a valve can be calculated as follows:

where; Q = flow rate in gallons (U.S. Std.) per minute

Cv = valve constant
P = pressure drop across the valve in pounds per square inch
G = specific gravity of the media of relative to water

Note: The values derived from the flow equation are for estimating purposes only . Product variances or
systemic factors may alter actual performance.

BVP70 & BVPS70 Pneumatic Actuators - MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

BVP70 & BVPS70 Pneumatic Actuators - RATINGS / SPECIFICATIONS
TEMPERA TURE: -20 F to 350 F
AIR SUPPLY: 50 - 125 psi air. Sufficient air delivery must be available at the actuator to ensure dependable

operation. The following precautions should be observed: Air supply should be clean and free of moisture.
When dirty or wet air is a problem; a filter / separator should be specified; these units are most effective when
installed as closely as possible to the actuator. A filter, when used, should permit a minimum flow of 4 scfm at an
upstream pressure of 60 psi. Eliminate severe restrictions to air flow (certain solenoid valves & fittings). The
most restricted passage must have an area no smaller than .012 inches square, the area of 1/8” diameter
orifice. If more than a single actuator is to be supplied by an individual pilot, the minimum passage requirement
applies per actuator.

TUBING: For short runs up to 5 feet 5/32” I.D. is suitable, 1/4” I.D. will serve up to 30 feet. For longer runs,
use 3/8” I.D. or larger.

DUTY CYCLE: 100% CYCLE TIME: (To Open or Close) Approximately 1/2 to 1 second*

* - Dependent upon actuator model, air pressure and delivery

AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION: 1/8” NPT
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Mini-DIN by Wire Strain Relief
ELECTRIC: Standard 120VAC Coil;

Wattage: 5
Class: F Continuous Duty
Protection: IP65 (with connector) Dust-tight, Water Resistant

OVERRIDE: Manual - Fold Out Lever Handle

MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATION

The push-button manual override system allows the user to easily disengage the electric drive gear train for
manual operation of the actuator. All external power must be off prior to using the manual override feature. Th e
actuator manual override handle can be used in the closed or open (lever extended) position to provide addi­tional leverage. To open the handle, pinch the Lever Release Buttons and pull up. Press down the manual
override button (atop the center) and turn the handle to manually open or close the actuated valve assembly . T o
reengage the drive train, release the override button and turn the handle until the manual override button ‘clicks’
signaling the re-engagement of the drive train. The manual override lever handle can then be closed.

Ball Valve - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tube (initial assembly):

1. Ensure the tube end is square and free from burrs, nicks, scratches and debris.

2. Loosen the NUT by turning it counter-clockwise one turn. Insert the tube though the NUT and
FERRULES until it sits against the internal V AL VE SHOULDER. T ighten the NUT (clock-wise) hand tight.
Continue tightening the NUT with a wrench for 1 to 1-1/4 turns or until snug.

Note: for re-assembly , after initial assembly , approximately 1/4 turn with wrench is generally required to re­tighten.

Pneumatic Actuator - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Att ached air supply to 1/8” NPT air inlet on integral pilot / solenoid valve.

2. The coil is equipped with a DIN x Strain electrical connector. To wire the connector, remove the center
mounting screw and, with a small screwdriver, pry the inner element from the body of the connector to expose
the terminal blocks inside. Route the wire through the hub of the connector. Loosen the sealing nut and ensure
the wire insulation passes through the rubber grommet inside the hub. Affix the wires to the appropriate termi­nal block. Retighten sealing nut to secure the wire and provide a seal.

Electric Actuator - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unlatch and open the override handle to access the handle nut. Remove nut with 3/4” wrench.

2. Remove eight (8) socket head screws with 4mm hex wrench. Remove cover by pulling straight up.

3. Route the wire to be terminated through conduit hub and up through the access space to the terminal block.
Strip insulation back 1/4”, insert the stripped ends directly into the proper terminal clamp s and tighten screws.
All internal connections are labeled in the diagram, see Page 7.

4. Att ach grounding wire to green screw that is located on top of conduction bar.

5. Verify that cover o-ring is properly seated in groove. Replace cover and screws.

Ball Valve - MAINTENANCE

The BVP70, BVPS70 & BVE70 Series utilizes our self compensating stem seal design. This design auto­matically compensates for wear as well as thermal expansion and contraction resulting in a leak tight, mainte­nance free, service life.

Once the stem seal has worn beyond the compensation afforded by the Belleville springs adjustment of the
stem nut may enable valve to be returned to service. Holding the ‘flats’ of the stem, tighten the stem nut until
Belleville springs become fully compressed (flattened); the torque required to tighten the nut further increases
sharply when this point is reached. Do not tighten the stem nut beyond this point to avoid damage of the stem
seal.
