OPERATING & SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

E Type Gate Valve With Fail Safe Actuator

1. Before commencing the assembly ensure every part is thoroughly clean. Screw threads should be coated with anti-seizecompound, hydraulic oil may be used to assist the assembly of seals and hydraulic components.

2. Assemble the Seat Seals (6) to the Seats (3). Place the Seats into the seat pockets in the valve Body (1)

3. Slide the Tee section of the Stem (5) into the Tee slot of the Gate (4) and install the Gate down into the Body betweenthe Seats. Body filler Grease may applied to both Gate faces and the Tee slot to provide initial lubrication.

4. Screw Studs (8) into the Body if they have been removed.

5. Apply light grease to the Bonnet Seal (13) and place onto the Body.

6. Place ‘O’ring (14) onto the Bonnet (2) to cover the small leak detection hole. Place ‘O’ring (15) into the groove at theback of the threaded section. If it has been removed replace Grease fitting (10).

7. Install a Stem Guide Ring (11) into the Bonnet (2), then lower the Bonnet carefully over the Stem and down on to theBody. Secure with Nuts (7)

8. Install a Stem Guide Ring (11) and ‘O’ring (18) into the Packing Gland (12)

9. Place a Stem Seal (9) followed by Back-up ring (9A) down over the Stem and into the Bonnet, the open end of the sealcontaining the springs facing down towards the direction of pressure. Push the Seal and Back-up ring down into theBonnet by installing the Packing Gland (12).

10. Screw the Support Plate (16) down onto the Bonnet, tighten down on to the shoulder of the bonnet by placing a boltinto one of the radial holes and striking with a soft hammer. Lock into position with Shim Adapter (17).

11. Place ‘O’ring (33) and Seal (30) onto the Inner Hydraulic Cylinder(32) . See Fig 1 for correct orientation of the Seal.

12. Place ‘O’ring (28) into the Hydraulic Plug (27), if it has been removed insert the Stem Locator (26). Screw theHydraulic Plug into the Hydraulic Cylinder (29).

13. Install the Inner Hydraulic Cylinder (32) into the Translating Cylinder (29) until the Seal just enters into the Bore.Place the Guide Ring (31) onto the Inner Hydraulic Cylinder and slide fully home.

14. Install the Upper Retaining Ring (35) into the Housing (22). Place the Cylinder assembly into the Housing up againstthe Retaining Ring.

15. Place the Upper Retaining Plate (25), Spring (24) and Lower Retaining Plate (23) into the Housing. See Fig 1 forcorrect orientation of the Upper Retaining Plate. Compress the Spring and retain in position with Locking Ring (21)Secure the cylinder assembly in position with 4 off Set Screws (34).

16. Fill the Hydraulic Cylinder with oil evacuating all air. Replace Safety Head (36) if fitted and attach the Actuator tothe Hydraulic System. Pressurise to extend the piston until the Tee slot of the Hydraulic Plug (27) is just below the LowerRetaining Plate (23). Do Not Over Extend The Piston.

17. Slide the Tee slot locate on the Hydraulic Plug (27) over the end of the Valve Stem (5). The Stem Locator (26) shouldhold the assembly in position.

18. Release pressure slowly to locate the Housing (22) on to the Support Plate (16). Secure with ‘C’ clamp (20) and 6 offHex Bolts (19).

The valve Gate and Seats may be replaced without dismantling the upper hydraulic components as follows :-

1. If the valve is still in the flowline ensure all pressure has been released and isolate the valve to be maintained bylocking / chaining valves upstream and downstream of the subject valve - label them “ CAUTION - DO NOTOPERATE “

Check that all line pressure has been dissipated by using a stinger (part no. 17538) on the grease fitting (10).

2. Detach any hoses or piping connected to the hydraulic cylinder.

3. Unscrew the Nuts (7) from the Studs (8). Lift the bonnet cylinder assembly clear of the Body (1). Caution ! ensure theGate does not damage the top seal face as it is withdrawn from the Body.

4. Pressurise the cylinder to approximately 150 psi to extend the Gate (4) and Stem (5) from the Bonnet. Slide the Gateoff the Stem.

5. Remove the Seats (3) from the Body (1) and remove the Seals (6) from the Seats.

6. Remove the Bonnet Seal (13).

Rebuilding of the Valve from this stage is as follows :-

1. Ensure all parts to be used for the assembly are thoroughly clean and that all old body filler grease has been removedfrom the valve.

2. Insert Seals (6) into Seats (3) and place into Seat Pockets in the Body (1)

3. Place a Bonnet Seal (13) onto the Body.

4 The Cylinder will need to be pressurised to approximately 150 psi to extend the Stem (5) out of the Body. Slide the Teeslot of the Gate (4) on to the Stem (5). Depressurise the Cylinder so that the Gate and Stem retract into the Bonnet.

7. Carefully lower the Bonnet Cylinder assembly down onto the Body ensuring the Gate enters smoothly between theSeats. Replace Nuts (7) to Studs (8)

8. Reconnect hydraulic hoses or piping. Grease the valve through Grease fitting (10).

1. Close the Valve by Venting all hydraulic pressure from the Cylinder. Ensure the Valve has Back Seated by applying astinger part No. 17538 to the grease fitting (10), ALL LINE PRESSURE SHOULD HAVE DISSIPATED.

2. Remove Hex. Bolts (19) and ‘C’ Clamp (20).

3. Pressurise the Cylinder to approximately 150 psi to raise the cylinder from the Support Plate (16). Push the CylinderAssembly in the direction of the Hydraulic Plug Tee Slot and lift from the Valve. Unscrew Shim Adapter (17) andSupport Plate (16)

Gate and Seat Replacement

4. Check the integrity of the Back Seat by reapplying the Stinger to the Grease Fitting (10), there should no pressure atthis port. Unscrew the Packing Gland (12) and retrieve the Seal (9) and Back-up Ring (9A). This operation may beassisted by pumping grease into the seal pocket through the Grease fitting (10).

Rebuild of the valve from this stage is as follows : -

1. Remove all traces of grease from the seal pocket and inspect the surfaces for damage.

2. Place the Seal (9) followed by Back-up Ring (9A) down over the Stem with the open end containing the spring facingdown.. Install the Packing Gland (12) down over the Stem and screw fully home into the Bonnet. NOTE it will benecessary to apply the stinger to the Grease fitting (28) during this stage to prevent a hydraulic lock.

3. Replace the Support Plate (16) and lock in place with Shim Adapter (17).

4. Pressurise to extend the piston until the Tee slot of the Hydraulic Plug (27) is just below the Lower Retaining Plate(23) Slide the Tee slot of the Hydraulic Plug (27) on to the Stem (5), the Stem Locator (26) should assist in holding theassembly Central . Depressurise the Cylinder slowly so that the assembly retracts onto the Bonnet.

5. Replace C Clamp (20) and 6 off Hex. Bolts (19).

1. If the valve is still in the flowline ensure all pressure has been released and isolate the valve to be maintained bylocking / chaining valves upstream and downstream of the subject valve - label them “ CAUTION - DO NOTOPERATE “

Check that all line pressure has been dissipated by using a stinger (part no. 17538) on the grease fitting (10).

2. Remove Hex. Bolts (19) and ‘C’ Clamp (20).

3. Pressurise the Cylinder to approximately 150 psi to raise the cylinder from the Support Plate (16). Observe thedirection of the Tee slot connection between the Stem (5) and the Hydraulic Plug (27). Push the Cylinder Assembly inthis direction and lift from the Valve. Unscrew Shim Adapter (17) and Support Plate (16).

4. Unscrew Packing Gland (12) , remove ‘O’rings (18), (15) ,14) and Stem Guide Ring (11).

5. Unscrew Nuts (7) from the Studs (8) and lift the Bonnet (2) from the Body (1). Retrieve Back-up Ring (9A), Seal (9),lower Stem Guide Ring (11) and Grease Fitting (10).

6. Remove the Gate (4) and Stem (5) from the Body (1) then remove the Gate from the Stem.

7. Extract the Seats (3) from the Body and remove Seals (6).

Cylinder Disassembly :-

8. Remove any hydraulic hoses to the Cylinder and Safety Head (36) if fitted. Drain hydraulic oil from the Cylinder.

9. Compress the Spring (24) using tool part No. A30255. Remove the Lower Retaining Ring (21) and the compressiontool.

10. Remove Lower Retaining Plate (23) , Spring (24) and Upper Retaining Plate (25).

11. Remove Upper Retaining Ring (35) and slide the Cylinder Assembly out of the Housing (22). Remove ‘O’ring (33)

12. Slide the Translating Cylinder (29) from the Inner Cylinder (32). Remove Seal (30) and Cylinder Guide Ring (31)

13. Unscrew Hydraulic Plug (27) from the Cylinder (29) and remove ‘O’ring (28).

Visually Inspect :-

• All sealing surfaces for damage

• Screw threads for wear or galling IF IN DOUBT REPLACE

• Gate and Seat surfaces for wear or damage

Complete seal replacement is recommended
