GENERAL
1.1
Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual contains important information
regarding the installation, operation and troubleshooting
of the Jamesbury® 1/4” – 2” (DN8 – 50) Eliminator Model B
Ball Valves with ISO Bonnet. Please read these instructions
carefully and save for further reference.
WARNING:
AS THE USE OF THE VALVE IS APPLICATION SPECIFIC, MANY FACTORS
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN SELECTING A VALVE FOR A GIVEN
APPLICATION. THEREFORE, SOME OF THE SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE
VALVES ARE USED ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE USE, APPLICATION
OR COMPATIBILITY OF THE VALVE WITH THE INTENDED SERVICE,
CONTACT METSO FOR MORE INFORMATION.
WARNING:
DOUBLE-SEATED BALL VALVE DESIGNS, LIKE THE ELIMINATOR
SERIES, CAN UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS TRAP FLUID IN THE
BALL CAVITY. RAISING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TRAPPED
FLUID CAUSES THE INTERNAL VALVE PRESSURE TO RISE. EXTREME
TEMPERATURE RISE CAN BUILD UP EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHICH
COULD LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED PRESSURE RELEASE. DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
1.2
Valve Markings
Non ASME rated Eliminator valves [9FB & 9NB] do not
have an identification plate. Important valve information
is stamped directly on the bottom of the valve body. (See

Safety Precautions
WARNING:
DO NOT EXCEED THE VALVE PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS! EXCEEDING
THE PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS MARKED ON THE
VALVE IDENTIFICATION PLATE, OR BODY, MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED PRESSURE RELEASE. DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
WARNING:
SEAT AND BODY RATINGS!
THE PRACTICAL AND SAFE USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS DETERMINED
BY BOTH THE SEAT AND BODY RATINGS. READ THE IDENTIFICATION
MARKINGS AND CHECK BOTH RATINGS. THIS PRODUCT IS
AVAILABLE WITH A VARIETY OF SEAT MATERIALS. SOME OF THE SEAT
MATERIALS HAVE PRESSURE RATINGS THAT ARE LESS THAN THE
BODY RATINGS. ALL THE BODY AND SEAT RATINGS ARE DEPENDENT
ON VALVE TYPE AND SIZE, SEAT MATERIAL, AND TEMPERATURE. DO
NOT EXCEED THESE RATINGS!
WARNING:
BEWARE OF BALL MOVEMENT!
KEEP HANDS, OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY, TOOLS AND OTHER OBJECTS
OUT OF THE OPEN FLOW PORT. LEAVE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS INSIDE
THE PIPELINE. WHEN THE VALVE IS ACTUATED, THE BALL FUNCTIONS AS
A CUTTING DEVICE. DISCONNECT ANY PNEUMATIC SUPPLY LINES, ANY
ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES AND MAKE SURE SPRINGS IN SPRING-
RETURN ACTUATORS ARE IN THE FULL EXTENDED/RELAXED STATE
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY VALVE MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO THIS
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY!
WARNING:
WHEN HANDLING THE VALVE OR VALVE/ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, TAKE ITS
WEIGHT INTO ACCOUNT! NEVER LIFT THE VALVE OR VALVE/ACTUATOR
ASSEMBLY BY THE ACTUATOR, POSITIONER, LIMIT SWITCH OR THEIR
PIPING. PLACE LIFTING DEVICES SECURELY AROUND THE VALVE BODY.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY FROM FALLING PARTS (SEE FIGURE 2).
