Note: Before actioning any installation observe the ‘Safety information’ in Section 1.

Referring to the Installation and Maintenance

Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information

Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the

intended installation:

3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature

and their maximum values. If the maximum

operating limit of the product is lower than

that of the system in which it is being fitted,

ensure that a safety device is included in

the system to prevent overpressurisation.

3.2 Remove protective covers from all

connections, threaded blanking plug

from the bleed port (screwed and socket

weld version only) and the protective film

from all name-plates, where appropriate,

before installation on steam or other high

temperature applications. A suitable form

of isolation must be fitted to the bleed port

before commissioning of the line.

3.3 The valve can be installed in the horizontal

or vertical plane. When installed in the

horizontal plane the bleed port should

ideally be positioned at the bottom (see

Figure 2). Isolation of the bleed port should

be positioned as close to the valve as

possible to avoid back-up of condensate

in the isolated bleed line. The bleed port

connection must be piped to a safe visible

atmospheric place as close to the valve

as possible.

Please note there is no flow direction arrow

on the valve as it can be installed with flow

from right to left or left to right.

3.4 When installed on steam systems a suitable

steam trap should be fitted immediately

upstream of the isolation valve to drain

condensate. This will ensure drainage of

the pipe when the valve is closed, and

will prevent damage of the valve due to

waterhammer. The drain trap should be

either a ball float (FT) or thermodynamic

(TD) type. Correct condensate drainage of

all upstream pipework is also vital.

After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functional. Carry out tests on any alarms

or protective devices.

5.1 The bellows sealed isolation valve plays an important role in the conservation of energy by eliminating

fugitive stem seal emissions.

5.2 The valve is operated manually by handwheels. Special care must be taken to ensure that the

movement is made in the correct direction.

To open the valves fully, it is recommended to turn the handwheels until the shafts are raised to the

maximum position, indicated by the (+) on the bonnet, then turn the handwheel clockwise 1/8 to ¼

turn to remove any backlash. This action prevents any force being applied to open a valve, which is

already fully open, resulting in damage to the stem, bellows unit or other components. Spirax Sarco

bellows sealed isolation valves are fitted with a position indicator, which can be found on the stem,

and should align with the (+) or (-) on the bonnet support pillars. (+ = fully open and - = fully closed).

5.3 If valve ‘keys’ are used care must be taken not to use excessive force when opening or closing the

valve.

5.4 A Valve Integrity Test must be undertaken prior to each double isolation of the system. Refer to

Figure 3 and the Table below for correct sequence of operation.

5.5 Before undertaking any maintenance of plant downstream of the valve both handwheels should be

isolated. Refer to Figure 3 and the Table below for the correct sequence of handwheel operation.

When handwheels Aand Bare closed and drain port Cis opened there will be an initial discharge

as the valve depressurises. If there should be any visible discharge after a short period, consult

Spirax Sarco Service Department.

Note: Handwheels should always be opened slowly to avoid system shocks.

Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the ‘Safety information’ in Section 1.

Warning

The body/bonnet gaskets (11a and 11b) contain a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause

physical injury if not handled and disposed of carefully.

6.1 General information

Before undertaking any maintenance on the valve, ensure any pressure is isolated and safely vented to

atmospheric pressure. The valve should then be allowed to cool. When reassembling, ensure that all joint

faces are clean.

Ensure that the correct tools and necessary protective equipment are used at all times. When maintenance

is complete open isolation valves slowly and check for leaks.

Note: The bonnet bush and threads of the stem are packed with a high quality grease on assembly. It is

recommended to re-grease these items whenever maintenance is undertaken on the valve.
