Installation and Maintenance Manual
Compliance with piping and flanges:
Ensure that the valve is to be mounted between
the flanges of piping.
Make sure that the flange diameter enables the
movement of the disc.
Butterfly valves have to be mounted between
welding neck flanges.
Installation of butterfly valve on line-general:
Butterfly valves have 2 directions.
Valve shaft should be opened horizontally and
the lower part of disc on flow direction. (Especially
for easily solidified liquids)
As valve is a precise and reliable unit and
should not be used as a flange separator. (Body
seat may be damaged)
Installation of butterfly valve on an old line:
1- Make sure that the valve can be easily
entered between the flanges. If necessary use a
flange spreader.
2-Set the disc in the closed position, so it
keeps 5-10mm inside the body.
3- Put the valve between the flanges, center the
body and insert the bolts.
4- Completely open the valve.
5- By keeping the valve on the same level with
the flanges, remove the flange spreader and
tighten the nuts by hand.
6- Close the valve slowly, and make sure that
the disc rotates easily.
7- Set the disc again wide open. Screw the bolts
on diagonal position.
Installation of butterfly valve on a new line :
1-When the disc is half opened, adjust 2 flanges
and connect it between flanges with a few bolts.
2-Install the unit on the line.
3-Strengthen the flanges to the line by a few
points of welding.
4-Loosen the bolts and remove the valve from the
flanges. (Flanges shouldn't be welded when the
valve is connected)
5-Finish the flange welding and wait till it
gets cooler.
6-Install the valve by following instructions of
" installation on an old line".
ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS OF
BUTTEFLY VALVES
Uninstallation of the valve from line :
1- Set the valve to half closed position.
2- Loosen all the screws and take the screws,
which prevent the valve from removing.
3- Put the flange spreaders and remove the valve.
Uninstallation of the valve :
1- Set the valve fully open position.
2- Loosen all the screws and take the screws
which prevent the valve from removing.
3- Remove the shaft. (Use a special tool or hand
clamp)
4- Separate the disc by moving on body seat. (Push
the disc to rotate)
5- Remove the body seat. Loosen it from a given
point. Give a "heart" shape and remove from the
body.
Remounting of the valve :
1- Clean all the components. To make the work
easier use a silicon spray if it is possible.
2- Bring the big hole side of the body seat to
the top flange side of the body.
3- Install the heart shaped body seat. By using
the shaft, enable the upper side to look at the
shaft bearing. Let the body seat gets in its
original place by getting larger.
4- While replacing the disc, the flow direction
marks should be on the bottom side. (reverse
direction of the top side of valve)
5- Replace the shaft, disc, body seat on the
same axis. To make the operation easier rotate
the disc.
6- Align the shaft faces on the disc axis. Place
the shaft completely, discharge the air in the
shaft bearing. (Replace the seat slowly with a
screwdriver.)
7- Install it on the place in line.
Assemble of Wafer Check Valves
Wafer check valves gives high performance only
when mounted correctly. The rules which should
be taken into account during mounting of wafer
check valves.
When check valve is connected into the system,
axis of check valve, flanges and gaskets should
be same. Otherwise disc cant be opened completey
and causes turbulence and pressure increases.
A: According to pump exit, flow direction must
be towards the open end of the disc.
B: Check valve must be mounted 5XDN away from
pump exit because of turbulence.
C: According to pump exit, flow direction should
not be towards the disc shaft. |
