1 1 Valve Body Mounting Flange 8 1 Upper Bearing
2 1 End Face 9 1 Lower Bearing
Series 761 and 461 Butterfly Valves are designed with grooved ends
for use with Victaulic grooved pipe couplings. Refer to the instructions,
supplied with the Victaulic coupling or Vic-Flange® Adapter, and the
notes in this section for installing Series 761 or 461 Butterfly Valves into
the piping system.
DO NOT INSTALL SERIES 761 OR 461 BUTTERFLY VALVES INTO
THE SYSTEM WITH THE DISC IN THE FULLY-OPEN POSITION.
• When using Series 761 or 461 Butterfly Valves for throttling
service, Victaulic recommends positioning the disc no less than
30 degrees open. For best results, the disc should be between
30 and 70 degrees open. High pipeline velocities and/or throttling
with the disc less than 30 degrees open may result in noise,
vibration, cavitation, severe line erosion, and/or loss of control.
For details regarding throttling services, contact Victaulic.
• Victaulic recommends limiting the flow velocities for water service
to 20 feet/second (6 meters/second). When higher flow velocities
are necessary, contact Victaulic. When dealing with flow media
other than water, contact Victaulic.
• Lubricated nitrile “T” seat seals are recommended for dry or
lubricated gas services.
• When directly connecting an end cap to a Series 761 or 461
Butterfly Valve, use only an end cap with a tapped hole for
attaching a pressure relief device. If the valve is opened then
closed unknowingly while the end cap is attached, the space
between the disc and end cap will be filled and pressurized. A
sudden release of energy can occur if the end cap is removed
while the space behind it is pressurized. PRESSURE MUST
BE VENTED THROUGH THE TAP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
REMOVE THE CAP.
DANGER
• When directly connecting an end cap to a
butterfly valve, use only an end cap with
a tapped hole for attaching a pressure
relief device.
• Pressure must be vented through the tap
before attempting to remove the cap.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.
VIC-FLANGE® ADAPTER NOTES
• Style 741 Vic-Flange® Adapters can be used on all sizes of Series
761 Butterfly Valves.
• Series 761 Butterfly Valves cannot be connected directly to flanged
components with Style 743 Vic-Flange® Adapters. A No. 46 ANSI
300 groove-by-flange adapter is required for this application.
• Style 441 Stainless Steel Vic-Flange® Adapters can be used on all
sizes of Series 461 Butterfly Valves.
SYSTEM-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
• Series 761 and 461 Butterfly Valves and connecting piping must
be supported properly to prevent the joints from being subjected to
bending loads, shear loads, or any other external loads.
• The maximum allowable corrosion allowance is 0.8inch/2 mm.
• Welding to Series 761 and 461 Butterfly Valves and couplings is
not permitted.
PREVENTION OF STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCT
CONTAMINATION
These recommendations are provided as a general guideline to help
prevent surface contamination of stainless steel products.
Handling and Storage
1. Stainless steel products should be handled only with non-
contaminating apparatus (i.e. nylon straps or apparatus protected
with a non-contaminating buffer material).
2. If carbon steel straps are used, a buffer material must be placed
between the strap and the stainless steel product. Common noncontaminating buffer materials include wood, cardboard, paper,
canvas, and other stainless steel material.
3. Stainless steel products must be stocked on non-contaminating
racks or skids.
4. Stainless steel products must be stocked in an area separate from
iron or carbon steel products.
5. Do no climb on or stand on stainless steel products.
6. In storage areas where salt is present in the air, stainless steel
products must be covered with a plastic tarp.
Shipping
1. Stainless steel products must be shipped with new, non-
contaminating and non-damaging packing materials.
2. If markings are required directly on stainless steel products, the
marking must have a water-soluble chloride content less than 50
parts per million (ppm). The chloride content must be measured
upon drying of the marking.
3. Identification tags and connectors, if required, must be
constructed from non-contaminating materials.
4. Stainless steel products must be shipped separately from iron
or carbon steel products. If stainless steel and/or iron or carbon
steel products must be shipped together, care must be taken
to separate the dissimilar materials completely by using a noncontaminating buffer.
WARNING
• The system designer is responsible for verifying suitability of
stainless steel materials with the intended fluid media.
• The effect of chemical composition, pH level, operating
temperature, chloride level, oxygen level, and flow rate on
stainless steel materials must be evaluated to confirm system
life will be acceptable for the intended service.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause product failure,
resulting in serious personal injury and property damage.
STEM SEAL REPLACEMENT FOR
2 – 12-INCH/60.3 – 323.9-MM VALVES
WARNING
• Read and understand all instructions before
attempting to replace the stem seals.
Failure to follow all instructions could result in
serious personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
• THE PUMP MUST BE SHUT OFF to
prevent flow from passing through the
valve during the following procedures.
Failure to follow this instruction could cause product failure,
resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
4. Using retaining-ring pliers or a similar device, remove the retaining
ring from around the stem assembly, as shown above. If the
retaining ring is bent from its original shape, replace it with a new,
Victaulic-supplied retaining ring.
NOTICE
• THE STEM SEAL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE SHOULD BE
COMPLETED ONLY IF LEAKAGE IS OCCURRING FROM THE
STEM.
• Make sure the correct stem seal kit was ordered by verifying the
o-ring material.
• O-rings for all valve sizes (12 total) are included with the kit.
However, only four o-rings are required to repair one valve.
Make sure the correct size o-rings are used for the stem seal
replacement procedure. Discard any unused o-rings.
1. Removal of the handle assembly or gear operator can be
performed without removing the valve from the piping system. THE PUMP MUST BE SHUT OFF to prevent flow from passing through
the valve during removal of the handle assembly or gear operator.
2. To remove the handle assembly: Refer to the appropriate handle
removal section in this manual.
3. To remove the gear operator: Note the current orientation of the
