Control-Disk Valve

WARNING
For single flange valve bodies with threaded line bolt holes, personal injury and property damage could result from sudden
release of process pressure if line bolts are not properly installed. To ensure proper line bolt thread engagement, line studs
must be centered in the threaded section of the valve body so that each stud has equal thread engagement in the body. See
figure 3.
8. After centering the valve body, first lubricate and then install the remaining line flange bolting to secure the valve in
the pipeline. Tighten the nuts to the line flange studs in a crisscross pattern to ensure proper alignment of valve,
gaskets, and flanges.
WARNING
A Control‐Disk valve body is not necessarily grounded when installed in a pipeline. If the valve is used in a flammable or
hazardous atmosphere or for oxygen service, an explosion could result due to a discharge of static electricity from the valve
components. To avoid personal injury or property damage, always make sure the valve body is grounded to the pipeline
before putting the control valve assembly into operation in a flammable or hazardous atmosphere.
Note
Standard packings for the Control‐Disk valve are composed of all conductive packing rings (graphite ribbon packing) or partially
conductive packing rings (such as a carbon‐filled PTFE female adaptor with PTFE V‐ring packing) to electrically bond the shaft to
the valve body for hazardous area service. For oxygen service applications, provide alternate shaft‐to‐valve body bonding
according to the following step.
9. For oxygen service applications, attach the bonding strap assembly (key 131, figure 4) to the shaft with the clamp
(key 130, figure 4), and connect the other end of the bonding strap assembly to the valve body with the cap screw
(key 35). Secure each cap screw with a hex nut (key 36).
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however, the packing
might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions.
Valves with ENVIRO‐SEALt packing systems will not require this initial re‐adjustment. See ENVIRO‐SEAL Packing
System for Rotary Valves Instruction Manual (D101643X012) for packing instructions. If you wish to convert your
present packing arrangement to ENVIRO‐SEAL packing, refer to the retrofit kits listed in the parts kit sub‐section on
page 20 of this manual.
Maintenance
Valve body parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. The frequency
of inspection and replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions. Instructions are given in this section
for: replacing trim components, changing disk rotation or valve action, and mounting and adjusting the actuator.
As used in these instructions, actuator refers to power actuators (such as pneumatic diaphragm, piston actuators, and
rack and pinion actuators).
