d) Pipe should be clean in the interior through a cast of water to remove residues, barb,welding scum, etc. The presence of residues inside the pipe could damage the sphere andthe seats.

e) A valve subjected to harmful substances can never be handled without being completelydecontaminated and declared safe to handle.

f) To assure that the suitable pressure/temperature rating in the identification valve plate islarger or equal to the service conditions.

g) Any modification of a valve can never be performed without a prior consult orrecommendation of the manufacturer.

h) The valves handles can only be used during their operation and must not be used to carrythem, otherwise the operator may be injured if this warning is not taken into consideration.

i) The handling and installation of the valve should be executed by personnel properlyqualified and in agreement with the appropriate manual/mechanic techniques. Always usecorrect lifting methods and equipment when installing, removing and maintaining theproduct, and that it is correctly supported in its final operating location.

j) This product can be employed in several applications. Therefore it’s up to the end user theresponsibility of using the materials of construction with the most suitable media and foreach specific application.

k) In case the products are used in processes or environments that can cause limittemperatures (high or low)and consequently harm or injure the personnel in any way, theinfra-structures must have proper protection and/or isolation.

l) Devices have to be installed to protect this equipment from over-pressurisation (caused byexternal fire, etc).

m) Excessive forces acting on the flanges and connections have to be avoided and preventedthrough the installation of this equipment on a system specially designed for that purpose.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ON-SITE INSTALLATIONa) Prior to installation the valve should be checked for possible shipping and handling

damages. Inspect the interior of both, the valve and the adjoining pipe for cleanliness. It isvery important to verify that the valve is free of any foreign particles that might damage theseats.

b) When the valve is installed in a place where residues particles, like but weld beads, rodends, metal scale, etc. are collected, it is advisable to incorporate strainers or screens.

c) The valve must be installed in a completely open position to avoid that the dirty particlescould be introduced between seat and ball and damage both.

d) These valves are mainly used for fluid distributor; balls could be in form L,T or X Port, verifythe positions of the ball with respect to ways, to ensure the desired distribution in operate.

e) The installed valve should be readily accessible for periodical inspection and maintenance.

f) The valve can be mounted in any position, but it is preferable for the stem to be vertical.

g) Do not subject the valves to any piping stress. Check pipe flange alignment and parallelism.Place the necessary pipe supports and expansion joints to achieve this.

h) Make sure that the flange gasket is the right one and assemble it following therecommended instructions of the gasket manufacturer.

i) A final verification of the valve must be done after its installation. Open and close the valve,to be sure that it functions properly, if necessary, adjust the packing by tightening the Stemnut (12).

j) Make sure that the cleaning operations and the fluid are compatible with the valve. Afterthese operations, the strainers might be incorporated if rust and scale are normallycontained in the installation process, permanent filters should be considered.

7.1 INSTALLATION OF WELDED END BALL VALVESa) All welding should be done by qualified personnel.

b) Use a high-purity purge gas to maintain cleanliness and reduce welding discolouration.

c) Disassemble the end caps from the rest of the valve before proceeding.

d) Perform the welding procedure on the cap according to standard industrial practices.

e) Reassemble the valve.

f) Test the valve for proper operation.

7.2 INSTALLATION OF CLAMP END BALL VALVESa) Place the gasket either in the end cap or pipe fitting and press them together.

b) Attach both clamps with the appropriate ring.

c) Test the valve for proper operation.8. OPERATIONLong life of valves can be maintained under normal working conditions and in accordance withpressure/temperature rating.

During operation, ball valves must be in either complete OPEN or CLOSED position in order toensure their smooth and efficient working and long duration of seats. Leaving the ball in half openposition could eventually cause damage to the soft seats.

It is of the responsibility of the end-user to install the necessary devices of monitoring and safety, inorder to assure that the limits of pressure and temperature use are not exceeded.

8.1 MANUAL OPERATIONThe direction of the flow from one port to the other is determined by turning the handle trough 90ºor 180º, depending on the port configuration. The flow direction indicator shows the media flowpath.

Care should be taken to avoid excessive slide loading on the handle.

8.2 REMOTE OPERATIONVinco Válvulas, S.A. is able to, whenever necessary, supply pneumatic and electric actuators thatcover a wide range of torque.

The operation depends on the installation, operation and maintenance instructions of eachactuator.

9. MAINTENANCE9.1 GENERALThe following checks will help extend life further and reduce plant problems:

a) Routine checks / maintenance:

1. Every 6 months: Check for any signs of leakage and that all fasteners (including the glandnut) and joints are tightened to their correct torque value (see Table 1)

2. Random operation: 1 month is the dead line for a valve to be left without operation. Afterthis period the valve should be operated through three full cycles.

9.2 CROSS-FLOW BETWEEN OPEN AND CLOSED PORTSIf the flow indicator is aligned with the required flow path it means that the valve is correctly ported.In that case any leakage occurred will be caused by damage to the body, end cap, body seal, seator ball sealing surfaces. The valve will have to be dismantled to proceed with the repair. (Seesection 11)

9.3 STEM LEAKAGEIf leakage is evident on stem packing area, it can be eliminated by increasing the tightness of thestem nut (15). In the case of the leakage is still persisting the replacement of the stem packing (8)is recommended. For stem nut (15) tightness see table 1.

10. REPAIR KITSVinco Válvulas, S.A supplies repair kits for all its valves. Although piece parts are available, thereplacement of the valve is usually recommended when other parts are required as parts ofdifferent sizes / rates cannot be mixed.

11. REFURBISHMENT INSTRUCTIONSBefore starting maintenance or any other work on the valve, please refer to chapter 6 (HEALTHAND SAFETY).

11.1 REMOVAL FROM LINEa) Do not release the securing bolt before checking first if the valve is correctly supported.

b) In the case of weld end versions, remove the body screws and take the valve body section outof line without moving the end connectors from their place.

c) For Clamp versions, remove the Clamp ring and take the entire valve out of line.

d) The valves should be then taken to a clean, secure working place.
