1 SCOPE
The following instructions are very important for the maintenance, disassembling and assembling of C&C
Atlas series end entry two-piece trunnion ball valves.
The instructions make references to valves with emergency sealant injectors and with back up rings for
high pressure service. As the above-mentioned features are not standard, in some cases these parts may
not be found, or may be found partially during the disassembling of the valves.
1.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR VALVE APPLICATION
The End User is responsible for ordering the correct valves for the intended application. C&C Valves are to
be installed in observance of the pressure rating and design temperature. Prior to installation, the valves
and nameplates should be checked for proper identification to be sure the valve is of the proper type,
material, and is of a suitable pressure class and temperature limit to satisfy the application requirements
.
1.2 RECEIVING INSPECTION, HANDLING AND STORAGE
On arrival at site, an accurate checking must be carried out in order to verify if any damage has occurred
during transportation.
Compliance to purchase order requirements.
Correct type, pressure class, size, body, trim & seal material and end connections
(This information may be found on the nameplate or may be stamped on the body of the valve)
Each C&C valve has unique serial number hard stamped on the closure of the valve.
(This shall be always be quoted for any enquiry related to a particular valve)
Condition of valve paint and location of required Mylar tags.
End protectors on valve end are in place with a nonporous moisture barrier between the cover and
the metal flange or welding end.
Valve are shipped in the fully open position with wooden or plastic covers to protect the ends from
ingress of foreign materials.
It
is recommended that lifting devices that are rated for the valve weight should be used when lifting any
C&C Valves. C&C Atlas
series ball valves 6” full bore and larger are provided with lifting lugs integral to the
valve body. Operators like gearboxes or actuators may have their own lifting points that are intended and
designed to bear the load of the operator only. Operator lifting points
shall not
be used to lift the
valve/operator assembly.
We recommend that this entire document be read prior to proceeding
with any installation or repair.
Do not use any valve in applications where either the pressure or
temperature is higher than the allowable working values. Also, valves
should not be used in service media if not compatible with the valve
material of construction, as this may cause premature failure.
