Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury and property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before
performing any maintenance operations:
D
Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations.
D
Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D
Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D
Depending on the actuator construction, it will be necessary to manage the pneumatic actuator spring
pre-compression. It is essential to refer to the relevant actuator instructions in this manual to perform safe removal of
the actuator from the valve.
D
Use lock-out procedures to be sure the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D
The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized,
even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline.
Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, install a new gasket during reassembly. This provides a
good gasket seal because the used gasket may not seal properly.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage by thoroughly cleaning the line of all dirt, welding chips, scale, oil or grease, and
other foreign material. Failure to do so could result in parts damage, malfunction of the control valve or loss of control of
the process.
