Principle of Operation
The main function of oating ball valve is to cut
off or allow the ow passage along the pipeline.
It is manually operated using a hand lever which
drives the ball to cut off or allow the ow passage.
The valve is open when the hand lever is parallel
with the ow passage or the pipeline. The valve is
closed when the hand lever is perpendicular with the
pipeline. See Figure 2.
Rotate hand lever 90 degrees clockwise to close the
valve and cut off the ow. Turn the hand lever 90
degrees counterclockwise to open the valve and allow
the ow. When using handwheel as driving device,
use the same rotational direction. Refer to Figure 3.
Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual provides valve installation,
assembly, disassembly, and maintenance instructions,
troubleshooting guide, and parts ordering information
of Tartarini Floating Ball Valve.
Description
Floating Ball Valve is a general-purpose valve.
It is used for long range oil and gas pipelines,
petrochemical, oil rening, gas, metallurgy, chemical,
food, and other related industries. Its primary function
is to cut off the ow along the pipeline.

Installation
WARNING
!
Personal injury or system damage may
result if this ball valve is installed where
service conditions could exceed the limits
given in the Specications section.
Additionally, physical damage to the
ball valve may result in personal injury
or property damage due to escaping
of accumulated fluid. To avoid such

injury and damage, install the ball
valve in a safe location.
Before installing the ball valve, thoroughly check the
specications stamped in the nameplate of the valve
body and other documents that come with it. Make
sure that it matches the specications being ordered
and is consistent with the installation requirements.
Inspect the valve chamber and the sealing surface for
any shipment damage and make sure that it is free
of any dirt or foreign material that may have collected
during shipment. Use clean soft cloth to remove any
dirt before installation.
Note
Do not turn the driving device or switch the
valve from open to closed position without
making sure that the valve chamber is
clean. Doing so may cause the valve and
the valve seat to be damaged by the dirt,
rust, and other residual impurities.
Check if the operation of the valve’s driving device
moves freely from the fully open to fully closed
position. Make sure that it is not jammed and its bolts
and nuts are tight.
The ball valve is in the fully open position at the time
of delivery. When installing the valve in the pipeline,
make sure it is in the fully open position.
When installing large-diameter ball valve, place the
valve on a separate platform to serve as a support in
order to allow horizontal movement of the valve during
installation. Do not let the pipeline bear the entire
weight of the valve to avoid deformation of the pipeline.
The ball valve may be installed either horizontally
or vertically and in any location. However, make
sure that the valve can be accessed easily during
maintenance, repair, and operation.
The valve can be anged or welded to the pipeline.
The customer can choose whether to connect both or
either ends with bolts (anged) or with weld.
For Welded Connection
Note
Do not install the valve while welding pipe
ttings or connections or immediately after
any welding activity within the pipelines.
