OpDx
Butterfly Control Valve
INTRODUCTION
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation,
maintenance, and parts information for the
Optimux
TM
OpDx control valve. Refer to
separate manuals for information regarding
installation, operation, and maintenance of
additional features such as actuators,
positioners, special accessories, fail-safe
systems, etc. Only qualified persons should
install, operate, and maintain an Optimux OpDx
valve. Any questions about these instructions
should be directed to your Optimux sales office
or sales representative before proceeding.
This publication does not contain information on
Optimux positioners. Refer to the appropriate
manual for information on positioner installation,
operation, maintenance, and calibration.
Note:
Selecting the proper fastener material is
the responsibility of the customer. Typically,
the supplier does not know what the valve
service conditions or environment may be.
Optimux's standard body bolting material is
B7/2H. B8 (stainless steel) is optional for
applications above 800• F and with stainless
steel or alloy body valves. The customer
therefore must consider the material's
resistance to stress corrosion cracking in
addition to general corrosion. As with any
mechanical equipment, periodic inspection
and maintenance is required. For more
information about fastener materials, contact
your local Optimux representative or factory.
Unpacking
1. While unpacking the valve, check the
packing list against the materials received.
Lists describing the valve and accessories
are included in each shipping container.
2. When lifting the valve from the shipping
container, position lifting straps to avoid
damage to tubing and mounted accessories.
