It is the intention of this document to provide users with an accurate guide for safe installation and
maintenance of the 380 Control Valves. Revisions and updates are available at above mentioned website.
GENERAL
The following instructions are to be thoroughly reviewed and understood prior to installing, operating or performing
maintenance on this equipment. Work on this equipment should be performed by experienced personnel. Throughout
the manual, safety and caution notes appear and must be strictly followed, to prevent serious injury or equipment
malfunction.
SCOPE
The control valve con
fi
guration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, and process
fl
uid
conditions. Some material combinations are limited in their pressure and temperature ranges. Do not apply any other conditions to
the valve without
fi
rst contacting your Dyna-Flo sales of
fi
ce.
This manual is written to be a practical and useful guide maintaining the Dyna-Flo 380 Control Valve.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or installation damage as a result of the sudden release of process pressure or the breaking of

the equipment nameplates. Use government codes, accepted industry standards and good piping practices to select
pressure-relieving equipment for protection of your installation. It is also important to wear the proper
protective equipment when performing any installation or maintenance activity.
INTRODUCTION
The Dyna-Flo 380 series of valves are heavy duty cage guided globe style control valves designed for high pressure applications.
These valves are used in all kinds of demanding applications, including oil and gas production and chemical process.
Both Models 380 and 381 are cage guided control valves with balanced plugs. Model 380 control valves are capable of Class V
shutoff at process temperatures below 450
°
F (232
°
C). Model 381 control valves are designed for high temperature / high pressure
applications and are well suited for general applications that do not require tight shutoff.
A bolted bonnet is standard and a typical actuator is a Dyna-Flo Model DFC, DFO, or DFLP linear actuator.
