1. NACE trim constructions are available; consult your Fisher Controls sales office or sales representative.
2. PEEK stands for poly-ether-ether-ketone.
3. For a complete material description, contact your Fisher Controls sales office or sales representative.
4. UHMWPE stands for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.

The valve is normally shipped as part of a control
valve assembly, with the power actuator mounted on
the valve. If the valve or actuator have been pur-
chased separately, or if the actuator has been re-
moved for maintenance, mount the actuator on the
valve, and adjust actuator travel before installing the
valve into the line. This is necessary due to the mea-
surements that must be made during the actuator cal-
ibration adjustment process. Refer to the Actuator
Mounting section of this manual and to the separate
actuator instruction manual for mounting and adjusting
instructions before proceeding.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property
damage resulting from the sudden re-
lease of pressure:

D

Do not install the valve assembly

where service conditions could exceed
the limits given in this manual or on the
nameplates.

D

Use pressure-relieving devices as

required by government or accepted in-
dustry codes and good engineering
practices to protect from over-pressuriz-
ing the system.
