Figure-4 Installation of Screwed End Valves.

Flanged Valve Bodies

The VB-9223-0-5 series flanged valve bodies conform to American Standard 125 Lb. Cast

Iron Pipe Flanges. The companion flanges (not provided) should be the same specification

as the valve. The 125 lb. flanges have plain flat faces and should not be bolted to a raised

faced flange.

1. All parts should be clean to assure the best results.

2. The pipe with the companion flanges installed should be properly supported and

aligned. Be sure the companion flange is flush with the face of the valve body flange

and lined up squarely.

3. Use a gasket material (not provided) that is recommended for the medium being

handled.
