Installation
Recommended or “preferred” installation for
Control-Disk NPS 14-24 valves is with the flow into the
shaft side of the disk (retaining ring downstream from
the high pressure side of the valve).
The standard soft seal offers ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class VI,
bidirectional shutoff. The Phoenix III seal should be
installed in the preferred direction to obtain optimal
shutoff performance, and it must be installed in the
preferred direction for fire-tested applications. The
NOVEX seal is uni-directional and should be installed in
the preferred direction.
For assistance in selecting the appropriate
combination of actuator action and open valve
position, contact your Emerson Process Management
sales office.
