WELDING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

 failure to follow these instructions 

could result in serious damage to the valve seats 
and seals.

1.  To prevent weld splatter damaging the ball 

surface and to facilitate the later removal of 
the center section, ensure the valve is in the 
open position.

2.  Locate the valve in the pipeline and tackweld 

the valve in position.

3.  Loosen and remove the body bolts (010) 

and nuts (011), allowing the body (001) to 
be removed from between end connectors 
(009). For R384 and R394 valves only - extra 
care must be exercised at this stage as the 
body will not slide out from between the 
end connectors unless the pipe ends are 
separated sufficiently to give clearance for 
the raised fire lip and the spigot on the end 
connectors. Damage to either the fire lip 
or the spigot will effect the integrity of the 
valves body seal (012) and the secondary 
metal to metal seal of the ball and fire lip in 
a fire condition.

  When removing the body (001), ensure the 

body seal (012) and seats (101) remain in the 
original locations.

OPERATION

All Emerson ball valves are quarter turn.
Handle operated valves provide visual
indication of the valve position. When the 
handle is across the line of the valve, the valve 
is closed, and when the handle is in line with 
the valve, the valve is open. Stops are integral 
with the valve and only Emerson handles must 
be used.
Actuated valves are available and Emerson 
has various options of pneumatic and electric 
actuators.
For further details on fitting actuator, refer 
to the mounting instruction sheet.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.  Complete welding process, taking care 

to protect the sealing faces of the end 
connectors from weld splatter. Allow 
cooling of the ends before reassembly.

5. Reassembly:
 

a)  Check the body seal (012), seats (101) and 

ball (100), making sure they are clean, 
undamaged and in original locations and 
that the ball is in the open position.

 

b)  Check sealing faces of end connectors 

(009) to ensure the surface is clean and 
not damaged by weld splatter.

 

c)  Relocate the body (001) between end 

connectors (009), taking care that the 
pipe ends are sufficiently apart to provide 
clearance to slide the center section into 
position between the ends. For R384 and 
R394 valves only - care should be taken 
not to damage the fire lip and spigot on 
the ends. Make sure the end connector 
spigots fit in the body seal grooves. 
Replace body bolts (010) and nuts (011) 
and retighten to recommended torques.

6.  Inspect for leakage at plant start-up and 

adjust if necessary.

CAUTION:

 if seats or seals are in any way 

damaged, do not reassemble valve without 
replacing damaged components.
