VFlo Control Valves

5

Rotate  the  ball  inside  the  body  in  a  way  so  that  the  non-
splined end of the ball is toward the back port of the valve. 
Remove  the  ball  straight  out  of  the  body.  If  needed,  on 
stationary post designs remove the post bear-ing from the ball 
by pushing it out with a press. 

CAUTION  :

 

The  sealing  surface  of  the  ball  should  not  be 

galled  or  scratched  when  re-moving  it  from  body.  Scratches 

lead to excessive leakage and wearing of the seal.

Employing  a  bronze  dowel  with  the  appropriate  diameter, 
push the packing and bearings out of the body. The packing 
must be pushed out of the body from the center of the valve. 
(Refer Table IV for optional shaft/post bearing tool.) 

Reassembling the Body 

For the reassembling of the body subassembly, refer to Figures 1 
or 2, 3, 4, and 5 and proceed as mentioned below : 

All parts must be cleaned and all O-rings and soft seals must 
be replaced. 
The ball sealing surface must be smooth and free of scratches 
and scoring. 

CAUTION  :

 

Keep  the  seal  surfaces  clean  and  free  of 

damage.  Damaged  or  dirty  surfaces  cause  excessive  seat 

wear  and  high  torque  re-quirements.Prompt  replacement  of 

damaged balls should be done.

The shaft and post are to be inspected for galled surfaces or 
scratches. To achieve optimum performance, VFlo shafts and 
posts  are  given  a  very  smooth  finish.  Replace  the  shaft  or 
contact the factory representative if damage exists. 

NOTE  : 

Replacing  the  ball  does  not  require  replacing  the  shaft  as 

ball and shaft are interchangeable. 

We recommended the use of a press to install new bear-ings 
in  the  body  and/or  ball.  (If  needed,  an  optional  post/ 
bear-ing tool is available from the factory. Refer Table IV.) The 
ends of the body bear-ings should be flush with the inside of 
the body - an indication of correct installation.

The ball is to be position in the body by lowering it, splined 
hole  first,  into  the  back  of  the  body.  Rotate  the  ball  surface 
toward  the  front  of  the  body  so  that  the  splined  hole  is 
towards the packing box

CAUTION  :  Whilst,  Replacing  it  in  body  be  extremely 
careful not to scratch or gall the sealing surface of the ball. 
Scratches  may  cause  excessive  leakage  and  wearing  of 
seal

For  3  through  12-inch  designs,  the  shaft  is  to  be  inserted 
through  the  outboard  end  of  the  body  and  through  the 
splined inch designs, insert the shaft through the inboard end 
of body and through the packing box into the splined hole of 
the ball. (For 1 -inch body designs, before installing the shaft, 
the  thrust  bearing,  packing  spacer,  packing,  and  packing 
follower must be inserted.)
The positioning of the shaft is to be such that the pin hole in 
the  shaft  and  ball  are  in  alignment.  (Certain  shafts  have  a 
half circle mark and line on the end. Align the line mark with 
the pin and the half circle symbol with the ball.) The shaft pin 
needs to be installed and driven firmly into place so that half 
in the shaft and half is in the ball.

On rotating post designs,

 the post is to be inserted through 

the outboard end of the body and into the hole of the ball. 
(For  1  through  2-inch  valves  sizes,  before  installing  post, 
insert thrust bearing.) The post must be positioned so that the 
pin hole in the post and ball are aligned. (For 6 through 12-
inch valve sizes, make certain that the ball pin hole is aligned 
with  the  smallest  diameter  pin  hole  in  the  post.  Some  posts 
have  a  half  circle  mark  on  the  end.  This  half  circle  mark 
needs  to  be  aligned  with  the  ball.)  The  post  pin  is  to  be 
installed and driven firmly into place so that half is in the post 
and half is in the ball. To torque the plug, refer Table Il.
