1.4 MANUFACTURER’S LIABILITY

Tyco Valves & Controls assumes no liability for: • use of the actuator in direct contravention of local safety at work rules • incorrect installation, improper application or disregard of the instructions provided on the actuator nameplate and in this manual • modifications without the authorization of Tyco Valves & Controls • work performed on the actuator by unqualified personnel 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 GENERAL The EPI2 is an electric quarter-turn actuator suitable to operate a valve or damper.

2.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The electric motor drives an epicyclical gear train via a spur reduction. The epicyclical gear train has a single compound planetary gear which meshes with two internally toothed gears, one being the fixed annulus and the other being the output gear. The fixed annulus gear has external helical teeth meshing with a transversely mounted worm gear, thus locking the annulus into a fixed position. The worm gear can drive the annulus; eliminating the need for a declutch mechanism to enable manual operation. Actuator position is controlled with a position sensor directly coupled to the actuator’s output drive.

2.3 ELECTRICAL OPERATION - Clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation may be selected during actuator setup. - An open or close electrical command will cause the actuator to move to the extreme end of travel or to a partial position. Control system details are shown in the specific wiring diagram.

2.4 MANUAL OPERATION Manual operation can be utilized when there is no power to the actuator or during initial actuator setup and calibration. The manual operating device is completely independent of the motor drive and can be operated at any time (even during electrical operation) without endangering the actuator. The handwheel does not rotate during electrical operation. To close the valve, turn the handwheel clockwise. To open the valve, turn the handwheel counter-clockwise. If the handwheel is used during electrical operation an alarm is set and the actuator will stop.

Important:

The standard direction of rotation for the Handwheel is clockwise (CW) to close.



2.5 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION The actuator consists of five main parts:

Base Flange: actuator to valve or damper interface Terminal enclosure: power and signal connections through four available cable entries Mechanical Gearing: internal epicyclical gear reduction Control Unit: integral controls unit inclusive of electric motor, motor controls, electronic power and logic card Manual Override: manual operation is used in the event of a loss of power or during setup and calibration



2.6 OPTIONAL MODULES EPI2 actuators can be provided with several different optional modules, as listed in the table below. Please refer to this table for possible combinations of available modules.

Notes: All modules except OM13 are available for both Universal Voltage and 3-Ph voltage versions. Bluetooth component is integrated into the OMx card: not available for field installation. Each Optional Module (OM) is provided with its own Instruction and Operating Manual (MAN652_OM1 through MAN652_OM13).



2.7 OPTIONS LABEL

A label is always provided if the module is installed at the factory.

Warning:

7. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

7.1 MAINTENANCE

7.1.1 Routine maintenance For normal operating conditions, routine maintenance is not required. It is recommended that a visual inspection for grease leakage or external damage is performed every two years. When conditions are severe (frequent operation or high temperatures), seal and lubricant replacement is recommended every two years.

Important:

Before beginning any maintenance operation, ensure all power sources to the actuator are de-energized.

Recommended Inspections: - Ensure there is no grease leaking from the actuator housing. - Check external parts for possible damage. Replace any damaged or broken parts immediately. Refer to chapter 8

for a parts listing. - Repaint all areas where paint is damaged or missing. In chemically aggressive or saline environments, remove

rust from surfaces and protect with a rust preventative. - Check that all nuts and bolts securing the actuator to the valve are tight. - For severe applications or if actuator operation is infrequent, perform maintenance checks more often.

7.1.2 Special maintenance For actuator disassembly, refer to the exploded view drawings and associated parts list contained in this manual. If parts are required, the serial number of the actuator along with the item number of the part will be required.

7.2 TROUBLE-SHOOTING If problems during setup or normal operation are encountered, proceed as follows: Basic Checks: - Ensure the power supply to the actuator matches the values shown on the nameplate of the actuator - Ensure there is power at the actuator terminal strip, Terminals 1, 2 and 3 - With power energized, the green LED will illuminate to indicate there is power available to the actuator - Dipswitch SW3: must be in the “off” position



7.2.1 Actuator does not work electrically - Ensure that the voltage at terminals L1 and L2 (and for 3 phase applications L3) is correct - De-energize the power to the actuator - Remove the cover assembly - Check the continuity of the wires between terminals L1, L2 (and for 3 phase applications L3) and the connector of

the power card - If there is no continuity on the L1-L2-L3 cables, replace the terminal board; if there is continuity, check the fuse

mounted on the power card - Replace if bad - If the fuse is ok, replace the power card.

7.2.2 DC output voltage not available at terminals 33 and 34 - De-energize the main power supply and disconnect all wires from terminals 33 and 34 - Energize the main power supply and check the voltage on terminals 33 and 34. The reading should be between 23

and 27 Vdc - If the voltage reading is correct, check the external wiring and the electrical load. It should not exceed 4W - If the voltage is not correct, replace the power card

7.2.3 The actuator does not work using the remote controls Check that: - The wiring to terminals 32, 35 and 36 is correct - There is no short circuit between the wires - The electrical load does not exceed 4W - If an external source is used, the voltage must be 24-120Vac 50/60Hz or 20-125Vdc

7.2.4 The motor is very hot and does not start - Wait until the motor cools down before trying to operate the actuator again - Check that the number of operations per hour and their duration is suitable for the actuator service (see the name-

plate) - Check that the valve operating torque is within the range of the unit’s designed operating torque

7.2.5 The motor runs but the actuator does not move the valve - Verify that the drive insert correctly fits in the actuator base - Verify that the drive insert has enough engagement with the valve stem - Verify that the keyed connections for all keyways is correct - Use the actuator handwheel and ensure the valve will move. If not, proceed as follows: - Loosen the handwheel retaining screw - Remove the handwheel - Check the internal parts - Reassemble the handwheel to the actuator

7.2.6 The valve does not seat correctly - For position seated applications, ensure the travel limits are set correctly - Confirm the torque required by the application and increase the actuator output torque setting if necessary - The internal trim of the valve may be damaged



7.2.7 Excessive torque for valve operation - Clean, lubricate and check the valve stem - Valve packing too tight - Check that the internal valve is well lubricated and not damaged

7.2.8 The actuator does not stop in fully open or fully closed position - Ensure the travel limits have been set correctly for the full range of valve travel. - Make sure that the torque and travel limits are correctly set (see Chapter 7).

Precision Non-Shrink Grout Requirements

NOTE: The recommended specifications are offered for reference only. Every application should be considered unique and a local grout supplier should be consulted prior to the non-shrink grout selection. The below specifications are applicable to most gates installed in the dry condition.

1. Grout shall not contain metallic aggregate, expansive cement, or gas generating additives such as aluminum powder.

2. Grout shall generate positive expansion.

3. Cured grout compressive strength shall be 7000 psi or better in 28 days.

4. Grout shall be capable of placement at a fluid capacity without segregation or the appearance of bleed water.

5. Grout shall provide a minimum 95% effective bearing area when mixed and applied.

6. Precision Non-Shrink Grout shall be installed per the manufactures instructions.

Installation of Anchor Bolts

Golden Harvest, Inc. furnishes type 304-316 stainless steel anchor studs as required for the project. Adhesive is the responsibility of the contractor. Golden Harvest Inc.'s anchor bolt design calculations are based on the Hilti HIT-RE 500-SD adhesive anchoring system. Refer to drawing for recommended adhesive.

Upper Gate Frame Anchor Bolts

Anchor bolts are required to support the upper frame members. These anchor bolts are provided with double nuts so that upper gate frame members can be clamped in position.

Anchor Bolt Torque Information

NOTE: The below tables are offered as guides, anchor bolts should never be tightened to the point of frame distortion.

Installation of Wall Mounted Frames

NOTES:

• Be sure gate frames are installed plumb and straight. Failure to do so will impair smooth operation and cause excessive leakage.

• Make sure that any excess grout splatter that may get on the gate slide or invert member during the grouting process is washed or sanded off prior to exercising the gate. Failure to remove grout from slide before exercising will result in a damaged seal and gate leakage.

• When frame sections are bolted together at the bottom corners or areas that are intended to seal, application of industrial grade urethane sealant is required between flanged connections.

INSTALLATION:

1. Secure all anchor bolts in the proper position on the concrete wall, using frame rail for template or in some cases (gate size or location) it might be easier to use a template patterned off the gate frame. For proper size, projection and anchor type see installation drawings. Epoxy type anchors are normally provided. For installing anchor bolts, see Installation of Anchor Bolts section.

2. Two nuts are provided per anchor bolt. Place one nut on bolt allowing for approximately 1.0" of grout between gate frame and concrete wall.

3. Place the gate frame into position on the anchor bolts.

4. Install second nut on each anchor bolt. Align the gate frame by adjusting the front and back nuts. Be sure that both frame rails are parallel and plumb, as an improperly aligned or warped gate frame will cause excessive leakage and impair smooth operation of the gate.

5. After the gate is set and before grout has been packed, check with 0.002 feeler gauge that the seal makes contact with the gate head around entire parameter of head. For adjustment, see Adjustment and Replacement of P-Bulb Seals section.

6. Where possible, check the gate installation (prior to grouting in place) by opening the gate slide to its full up position. If excessive force is required while opening gate, this may indicate that the frame is not plumb. Also, using a thin wire, check the gate frame / seat area by stretching the wire along each side and most important across the horizontal top spigot. If there is a variation (1/32” or greater) in the seating face, excess leakage will result in those locations. Also, use the wire to stretch corner to corner of the opening. If the wires do not touch at the center, at minimum one corner has been pulled back from the plane. Make adjustments to double nuts as required.

7. After steps above are complete and gate frame is mounted plumb and straight and nuts are tightened (See Anchor Bolt Torque Information for torque reference), fill the void between gate frame and concrete wall with a precision non-shrink grout.

Installation of Operating Appurtenances

Installation of Stem

Refer to the installation drawings to select the proper stem length, section and diameter.

IMPORTANT: If stems are in more than one piece, stems must be installed in their proper order from bottom to top. Refer to the installation drawings for proper stem section order.

o When internally threaded couplers are supplied, each stem section and stem coupler are match marked to ensure correct installation.

It is important to carefully check the alignment of the stem and lifting components. The maximum allowable deviation for misalignment is 1/8” (3mm) on the total length of the stem.

INSTALLATION:

1. After gate and stem guides have been mounted, carefully lower the proper stem section through the stem guide(s) and into the stem pocket located on the gate head.

2. Secure the stem to the gate slide using the attached, pre-installed hardware.

3. Thoroughly clean the threaded portion of the stem and the nut in the lifting device. Keep these elements clean and lubricated to prevent damage or hard operation.

4. After assembling stem, be sure to screw bottom stop nut onto stem.

Figure 1 Installation of Operator on Self Contained Gate Yoke

1. Carefully lower the lift unit over the upper threaded portion of stem engaging the threads of the lift unit and stem.

2. Turn the crank or handwheel to lower the lift onto the yoke, align operator mounting holes. Use bolts and nuts provided to secure lift to yoke.

3. Align center line of lift nut until it is parallel with the center line of the stem. Proper alignment is critical for smooth operation of stem.

Installation of Stop Nuts (Travel Limits)

IMPORTANT: Over travel (open or close) of the gate slide will damage the horizontal top seal or potentially damage major components. Stop nuts are critical to preventing damage.

Lower Stop Nut:

NOTES:

• Lower stop nut must be installed prior to installing the operator. It is easiest to install lower stop nut when gate is in the closed position.

INSTALLATION:

1. Verify gate travel. Measure down from bottom of operator plate gate travel distance. Install lower stop nut with upper edge at gate travel distance.

Upper Stop Nut: After operator installation and gate is in the closed position adjust stop nut down on the top of the projecting stem until firm contact is made with the top of the lift nut. Tolerance = +/- 1/8” (3mm).

Both Nuts: After the stop nut(s) are positioned correctly on the stem within specified tolerance then mark stem with set screw or pen, move stop nut off mark, file the mark flat, punch, and drill a 1/16” to 1/8" [1 – 3mm] deep dimple. Return stop nut to position and firmly tighten set screw on the dimple.

• Clear plastic stem covers have drilled vent holes on one end; make sure this end is up.

• Do not pack the stem cover tube with grease as this can lead to pressure build up in the gearbox.

• IMPORTANT: Stem covers must be stored supported along their full length in order to prevent distortion.

INSTALLATION:

1. When clear plastic stem covers are used care must be taken not to scratch or break cover. Covers are marked to match gate. Check to make sure cover is approximately 6" longer than gate height.

2. A threaded PVC adaptor is provided. Polyurethane sealant should be used on threads, stem cover slip joint and cap. Screw adaptor into receiver on top of lift housing. Place a bead of sealant into the receiving end of the adaptor. Be sure stem cover is plum. Place a bead of sealant in the top cap and install on top end of stem cover.

Attaching Mylar Indicators to Clear Plastic Stem Covers

After lift and stem cover has been properly installed, the gate adjusted for proper seating, and the stop nuts are set and locked, the calibrated indicator must be installed.

INSTALLATION:

1. Clean plastic stem cover. 2. Graduated, self-adhesive mylar tape is provided to indicate gate position. 3. Indicate/mark on plastic stem cover where top of stem comes when gate is in closed position. Cut

mylar indicator strip with knife or scissors to the proper gate travel length. 4. Remove protective coating from mylar tape and smoothly apply to plastic stem cover.

Operation

Theory of Operation

Slide gates are used to either stop flow or allow flow in the desired direction by opening or closing the gate via the upward opening design.

Operation Overview

Manually operated slide gates are controlled by rotating a hand crank or handwheel counter clockwise to raise the gate head and clockwise to lower it. When fully closing the gate, avoid excessive pressure. Observe the position of the gate via the clear plastic graduated stem cover located on the operator. If the gate does not close completely without excessive force, stop operation and visually check gate for debris or other obstructions. See Pre-Commission & Maintenance section for further details.

Under maximum head, the force required to rotate the handle should not exceed 40 lbs. If excessive force becomes necessary, gate operation should stop until the cause is determined. Never try to force the gate head in either direction, as this may cause damage to various gate components. Instead, visually inspect the gate head, the invert area, the operator, the guide rails, the p-seals and the stem to determine the source of the problem. Make certain the gate is not already in the full-open position (stem stop nut against operator) when attempting to raise the gate head.

Upon completion of gate operation, visually inspect the gate head to verify proper position. Make certain that the gate stem is not under excessive load. This may occur when excessive force has been applied to the operator upon gate closure.

NOTE: Do not operate gate dry or without adequate lubrication on all seals.

Environmental & Emergency Conditions

Large or excessive debris in water can adversely affect gate operation.

Freezing conditions can result in ice build-up, adversely affecting gate operation.

Operator Safety

Golden Harvest Inc. does not have specific instructions beyond basic plant safety practices for its products.

Special Tools

No special tools are required to install or maintain Golden Harvest gates.

Gate Shut-Down - Removal and Replacement of Gates

Under normal operation and maintenance of these gates, removal of the gate head is neither required nor recommended. If removal of the gate head is necessary for any reason the following is required:

1. Remove the stem cover. See Stem Cover Installation instructions, removal steps are opposite of installation steps.

2. Remove the manual operator from the stem. See Operator Installation instructions, removal steps are opposite of installation steps.

3. Remove the stem from the gate head. See Stem Installation instructions, removal steps are opposite of installation steps.

4. Remove the stem guide and the yoke (bolted yoke only) for non-self-contained gates. For self-contained gates, the gate and frame must be removed as a single unit. See Frame Removal step.

5. Attach a lifting strap to the gate head utilizing the stem pocket for slide gates. For stop logs, stop gates or bulkheads use lifting beam and/or picking points provided.

6. Secure the lifting strap to a crane or other lifting device.

Frame Removal:

1. Remove grout from void between frame and wall. For Embedded Frames, attach lifting mechanism prior to removal of grout.

2. Re-install any removed frame portions and support frame with lifting mechanism.

3. Remove nuts from anchor bolts.

4. Move frame horizontally off anchor bolts. Lift out of position with lifting mechanism.

It is best to remove the gate head with a balanced water head condition. Installation of the head is a reversal of the above sequence. Care must be exercised at all times to observe standard lifting safety practices. No special tools are required for removal of gates and frames. See drawings for dimensions.

Pre-Commission & Maintenance

Slide Gate Pre-Commission Plan and Checklist

After installing gate and before initial operation, please check the following:

1. Check guide frame for proper alignment.

2. Check to make sure stem guides and brackets are properly installed and securely fastened.

3. Clean and lubricate stem threads.

4. Clean the gate slide, guides, seals and invert of all foreign material.

5. If P-seals are used, clean contact area and adjust seal.

6. Adjust stop nut to within 1/8" of the top of lift nut and lock in place.

7. Install stem cover if required.

8. Lubricate gate sealing system. Vegetable oil is an acceptable break-in lubricant. IMPORTANT: Gate sealing system must be lubricated before initial use and after periods of time when gates are not submerged or wetted by service water (after shutdowns, dewatering, etc.). Operating gate without lubrication may damage seals.

9. The gate should be operated to the fully opened and fully closed position slowly to check for any misalignment or problems in operation.

10. If gate does not operate smoothly or shows excess leakage, see Slide Gate Troubleshooting for remedy.

Adjustment and Replacement of P-Bulb Seals

• Check the clearance between the seal and the head following installation with a .004 (0.10 mm) feeler gauge. Gauge should not pass at any point around the seal perimeter.

• Tools Required:

- 10” [250mm] crescent wrench or 9/16” socket head

- 3/4” [20mm] punch (for seal replacement only)

SEAL SETTING ADJUSTMENT (COARSE):

1. Loosen seal retainer bolts.

2. Evenly force seal retainer bar and seal against gate slide to achieve approximately 1/16” seal compression.

3. Tighten seal retainer bolts evenly with approximately 10-15 lbs (14-22 N-m) torque.

SEAL ADJUSTMENT (FINE):

1. Identify area of concern with feeler gauge or visually.

2. Tighten retainer bolts by 3/4 to 1-1/2 turns to the formed leg of the retainer bar against the P-bulb seal; tightening the seal against the gate slide.

3. Use feeler gauge to check the adjusted area for correction. Do not over tighten retainer bolts (20 ft-lbs or 27 N-m Max). If leakage continues, refer to Coarse Adjustment.

TO REPLACE P-SEALS:

1. Remove stainless steel hardware, retainer and P-bulb seal.

2. Place new P-bulb seal on spigot bolts. Verify that the pattern punched in the replacement seal will provide sufficient seal adjustment. If required, use punch to elongate holes.

3. Place stainless steel retainer bars over P-bulb seal and stud bolts. Hold retainer bar & P-bulb seal in place and loosely tighten each nut. Once seal and retainer have been loosely installed, follow instructions above for Setting and Adjusting the P-bulb seal. Figure 2

Equipment Maintenance

A brief visual inspection of the gate each time it is operated is a very important step in helping identify abnormalities or damage before it can become a major problem. All personnel should make an effort to develop a habit of visually inspecting the following major components regularly:

The gate stem for any material build-up or damage. The gate head for damage, distortion, etc. The gate seals for damage. The UHMW guides should be checked for damage or excessive material build-up that may obstruct

its movement.

NOTE: If unusual force or erratic operation is detected during manual gate operation, discontinue and conduct an inspection as to the cause. If the gate does not easily move to the set stop limits (stop nuts) visually check gate for debris or obstruction.

A documented maintenance program should be developed that includes the following items:

At least once every 3 months exercise each gate completely through one cycle, carefully checking for any abnormalities.

At least once every 6 months, apply grease to all fittings and manual operators. Also, clean gate stem and apply grease.

To obtain maximum performance, Golden Harvest, Inc. recommends the following maintenance procedures. First inspection should occur after twenty (20) cycles or two weeks, whichever comes first:

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Round butterfly valve discs rotate 1/4 turns to provide tight shutoff in air or water pipelines. The valves can be used to regulate flow rate by positioning the disc between 15 and 90 degrees open.

Manually Operated Valve

Manually operated butterfly valves are powered with gear actuators, which convert multiple handwheel, chain-wheel or nut input turns into 1/4 turn valve operation. The travel of the valve disc is limited by physical stops in the actuator housing.

Forcing the handwheel, chainwheel or nut against the stops will not provide tighter shutoff of the valve and may damage the actuator. Only actuator adjustments will affect valve shutoff.

Motor Operated Valves

Motor operated butterfly valves are powered with gear actuators, which convert multiple motor input turns into 1/4 turn valve operation. The travel of the valve disc is limited by limit switches in the motor housing and physi-cal stops in the actuator housing. Valve shutoff is affected by limit switch and physical stop settings.

Improperly set limit switches and/or physical stops may damage the motor and/or actuator.

Cylinder Operated Valves

Hydraulically operated butterfly valves are powered with a gear box and double acting cylinder. The linear stroke of the cylinder is converted to 1/4 turn operation by the gear box. Auxiliary controls are provided to direct hydraulic power to the cylinder and to control the operating speed of the cylinder.

WARNING

WARNING



INSTALLATION

GENERAL

Valves are a significant component of any piping system. Failure due to faulty installation, improper operation or maintenance in such systems could result in damage, down time and costly repairs. In buried underground installations, problems or malfunctions can result in extensive, costly unearthing operations to correct the prob-lem. Many problems with valves can be traced to improper installation, operation, or maintenance procedures.

UNLOADING

Inspect valves on receipt for damage in shipment and conformance with quantity and description in the ship-ping notice and order. Carefully unload all valves to the ground without dropping using fork trucks or slings un-der skids. Do not lift valves with slings or chain around operating shaft, actuator, or through waterway. Instead, lift valves with eye bolts or rods through flange holes.

STORAGE

Whenever practical, store valves indoors. If not, protect valves and actuators from weather and accumula-tion of water, dirt, rocks and debris. When valves fitted with power actuators and controls are stored, energize electric actuator or otherwise protect electrical control equipment to prevent corrosion of electrical contacts due to condensation resulting from temperature variation. Do not expose rubber seats to sunlight or ozone for any extended period. Valves should be stored with the valve disc or closure member slightly open.

INSPECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Make sure flange faces and joint sealing surfaces, body seats and disc seats are clean. Check bolting attach-ing actuator to valve for loosening in transit and handling. If loose, tighten firmly. Open and close valve to make sure it operates properly and that stops or limit switches are correctly set so that the valve seats fully. Check that valve rotation direction is correct and close valve before installing.

INSTALLATION

The following items must be performed during installation to ensure proper function.

• Carefully place valves into position avoiding contact or impact with other equipment, vault walls or trench walls.



• Valves are to be installed in accordance with the General Arrangement Drawings furnished for the order.

• Foreign material in a valve can damage the rubber seat when valves are operated. Be sure valve interiors and adjacent piping are clear of foreign material prior to mating valve to pipe joint.

• Prepare pipe ends and install valves in accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for the joint used. Do not deflect pipe/valve joint. Do not use valve and jack to pull pipe into alignment.

• In plant piping, install so as to minimize bending of valve connection with pipe loading.

• In case of wafer type butterfly valves, concentrically center the valve disc between the mating flanges.

• Make sure valve disc, when opened, will not contact pipe port. This is especially necessary on pipe with lin-ings and when wafer valves are used. Check manufacturer for minimum pipe I.D. required for clearance.

It is recommended that valves be installed into piping system in accordance with AWWA M-11 in order to prevent any undue piping stress, deflection or bending that may affect the performance of the valve.

Valve disc without actuator may open or close at any time and cause injury to persons or damage to valve and other property. The shaft/disc clamping device when furnished is intended for temporary use during shipping, handling and valve installation only. Do not subject valve to flow conditions before actuator is mounted and tested for performance and clamping device is removed.

Buried valves installed with valve boxes must be so installed that the valve box does not transmit shock or stress to the valve actuator as a result of shifting soil or traffic load.

When valves are installed in vaults, the vault design must provide space for purposes of repair. The valve opening nut should be accessible from the top opening of the vault with a tee wrench.

MECHANICAL JOINT INSTALLATION

The successful operation of the mechanical joint requires that the plain end be centrally located in the bell and that adequate anchorage be provided where abrupt changes in direction and dead ends occur. The rub-ber gasket will seal more effectively if the surfaces with which it comes in contact are thoroughly cleaned (for example, with a wire brush) just prior to assembly in order to remove all loose rust or foreign material.

WARNING

WARNING



Lubrication and additional cleaning should be performed by brushing both the gasket and the plain end with soapy water or pipe lubricant just prior to slipping the gasket into the plain end and assembling the joint.

TESTING

When rubber seated valves are used to isolate sections of line for test, it is important to realize that these valves are designed or factory adjusted to hold rated pressure only. Test pressure may cause leakage past the rubber seat or damage to the valve.

In order to prevent time lost in searching for leaks, it is recommended that excavations for buried valves not be back-filled until after hydrostatic pressure tests have been made.

Seat leakage can occur due to foreign material in the line. If this occurs, open valve 5 – 10 degrees to get high velocity flushing action. Close and repeat several times to clear seats for tight shutoff.

Seat leakage can occur due to rotational shift in position of the disc with relation to the body seat. Readjust closing stop in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

RECORDS

Upon completion of installation, valve location, size, make, type, date of installation, number of turns to open, direction of opening and any other information deemed pertinent should be entered on the owner’s permanent records.



OPERATION

Do not permit use and operation of any valve at pressure above the rated pressure of the valve.

Do not exceed 300 ft-lb input torque on actuators with wrench nuts, 200 lb. rim pull input torque for handwheels or chainwheels. If portable auxiliary actuators are used, size the actuator or use a torque limiting device to prevent application of torque exceeding 300 ft-lbs. If an oversize actuator with no means of limiting torque is used, stop the actuator before valve is fully opened or closed against stops and complete the operation manually. Be sure to check actuator directional switch against direction indicated on wrench nut, handwheel or records before applying opening and closing torque.

If a valve is stuck in some intermediate position between open and closed, check first for jamming in the actuator. If nothing is found, the interference is inside the valve. In this case, do not attempt to force the disc open or closed since excessive torque in this position can severely damage internal parts. Contact the Pratt Service Department.

MANUAL ACTUATOR FUNCTION AND USE:The manually operated butterfly valves are operated by rotating the handwheel, chainwheel, or nut. The actuator is equipped with gearing to convert the many turns into 1/4 turn operation. Inside actuator stops that limit the travel of the valve are pre-set at the factory. Forcing the handwheel, chainwheel, or nut will not cause the valve to shut off any tighter and may cause damage to the gearing.

CYLINDER ACTUATOR FUNCTION AND USE:The cylinder operated butterfly valves are operated automatically by directing hydraulic pressure to either side of the power cylinder. Solenoid valves are used to direct the fluid to the cylinder ports based on electrical power signals. In cylinder actuators, the travel stops are in the cylinder so that full hydraulic pressure can be held on the cylinder at either end of travel.

MOTOR ACTUATOR FUNCTION AND USE:The motor actuator is designed to open and close the valve through its one quarter turn of rotation. It contains gearing so that hundreds of turns of the motor or handwheel will slowly move the valve from open to close position or vice versa. Electrical controls are included in the motor actuator for local electrical control.

The output motion of the actuator is limited to about 100 degrees of output rotation by mechanical stops in the gearing. These are factory set and should not need adjustment. The actual positioning of the valve disc will be done by limit switches in the motor actuator. The switches are also set at the factory but adjustment is sometimes required if the motor unit is installed on a separate mounting base or floorstand. Detailed procedures are given in the motor manual if adjustment is needed for the mechanical stops or the limit switches. The wiring and power requirements are given on wiring diagrams included in this instruction manual.



MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of rubber-seated valves by owner is generally limited to actuators and shaft seals. In some instances, valve design permits field adjustment or replacement of rubber seats when leakage occurs. Unless the owner has skilled personnel and proper equipment, any major rework will require removal of the valve from the line. Depending on condition, valve may require return to the manufacturer.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

Cycle valve to verify operation and no interference in line. 1.

Close valve and check for leakage. If leakage is detected, check actuator stops to verify that disc 2. is fully closed. If leakage persists, remove valve to inspect seat. A damaged seat requires valve to be returned to the factory for repair.

Check flange connections for leakage. Tighten bolts accordingly. 3.

Check top trunnion area for shaft leakage. If leakage is detected, replace valve packing. 4.

NOTE: 10” and larger valves have top and bottom packing.

Removal of actuator from valve shaft will cause disc to rotate, striking persons or objects in the disc path, causing injury to persons and damage to valve. Block or lock disc before removing actuator.

Typical maintenance would be shaft packing replacement and actuator adjustment. Seal leakage, broken parts and difficult operation should be discussed with Pratt’s Service Department before valve repairs are attempted. Pratt Service Engineers are available to perform or supervise valve repairs in the field.

Stop line flow and isolate from line pressure prior to performing any corrective maintenance.

After completing repair, cycle valve through one complete operating cycle and after line pressure has been restored, inspect for leakage.
