If tightening the packing flange nuts does not stop the leakage, use the following procedures to remove the control
valve assembly from the pipeline. Remove the actuator when removing and replacing packing parts.
D
If the leakage comes from the outside diameter of the packing box, it is possible that the leakage is caused by nicks
or scratches on the packing box wall. Carefully inspect the packing box bore and valve drive shaft when the packing
is removed. Use the following steps to remove the actuator and to remove and replace the packing parts.
Removing the Actuator
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body, and drain the
process media from both sides of the valve. If using a power actuator, also shut off all pressure lines to the power
actuator, and release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures
stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
CAUTION
Damage to the disc (key 3) sealing surfaces may occur if the disc is not closed when the valve is being removed from the
pipeline. If necessary to overcome spring force, use a temporary pressure source on the actuator to close the disc. Also,
maintain the pressure to retain the disc in the closed position while removing the valve from the pipeline.
2. Be sure the disc is in the closed position before attempting to remove the valve from the pipeline or flanges.
WARNING
The edges of a rotating disc close with a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To help prevent such injury, stay
clear of the disc edges when rotating the disc (key 3).
For Fail‐Open Actuators:
It will be necessary to provide a temporary loading pressure to the actuator diaphragm to
move the valve disc to the closed position. Observe the above
Warning
when closing the valve. If a loading pressure is
required, use caution when working with the valve. If the loading pressure is disconnected, the disc will open rapidly.
