Installation

WARNING

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal

injury.

To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install the valve

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

pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this

instruction manual.

CAUTION

The valve configuration and construction materials are selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, pressure drop,

and controlled fluid conditions. Because pressure drop and temperature range capabilities limit some combinations of

materials, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office.

The maximum allowable inlet pressures for A31A valves are consistent with the applicable pressure/ temperature

ratings except where limited by material capabilities shown in figure 2 and table 2.

Adjusting the Actuator Travel Stops

WARNING

The edges of a rotating valve disk have a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To avoid personal injury, keep

clear of the disk edges when rotating the disk.

Instruction Manual

D500240X012

A31A Valve

February 2019

CAUTION

When using an actuator, the actuator travel stops or the actuator travel (for actuators without adjustable stops) must be

adjusted so that the disk stop in the valve body does not absorb the output of the actuator. Failure to limit actuator travel

as described in the next step can result in damage to the valve shafts or other valve parts.

1. Locate the actuator travel stop that establishes the closed position of the valve disk. When adjusting the travel stop

or travel, make sure that the disk is from 0.001 to 0.030 inch (0.03 to 0.76 mm) away from the internal stop in the

valve body. This adjustment is necessary to be certain that the actuator output torque is fully absorbed by the

actuator travel stop or by the actuator. The internal travel stop in the valve body should not absorb any of the

actuator torque.

2. Before installing the valve/actuator assembly in the process line, cycle the valve several times to be sure the valve

disk returns to the proper position.

Valve Orientation

Note

The NPS 10 through 12 CL150 valves and NPS 8 through 12 CL300 valves have a two‐piece shaft. The shaft with the keyed end is

called the drive shaft. The shaft opposite the drive shaft is called the follower shaft.

The NPS 3 through 8 CL150 valves and NPS 3 through 6 CL300 valves have a one‐piece shaft. This one‐piece shaft is keyed and is

called the drive shaft.

Whenever possible, install the valve with the shaft in the horizontal position as shown in figure 5.

Horizontal installation can enhance valve performance because process fluid flow will sweep entrained solids from valve surfaces,

preventing particle buildup on the seal. Also, installation of the valve with the shaft horizontal will extend bearing life because

entrained solids will be less likely to penetrate the bearings.

1. Face‐to‐face dimensions are in compliance with MSS SP68 and API 609 specifications.

2. Minimum I.D. is the minimum pipe or flange I.D. required for disk swing clearance.

The A31A valve is designed for installation with the shaft(s) in any orientation around the pipeline: horizontal, vertical,

or at an intermediate angle. However, when installing the valve in certain services, follow the recommendations

below, which are based on application experience:

D In certain services (process fluids with high concentrations of entrained solids, abrasive slurries, polymerizing

media, or large diameter valves with high flow rates), installing the valve with the shaft horizontal to the pipeline

and downstream of the seal will enhance valve performance.

D Install a valve supplied for uni‐directional shutoff with the high pressure side in the direction noted on the valve

body. A flow tag with an arrow is provided for proper installation.

If you have questions about proper valve orientation in a specific application, contact your Emerson sales office.

2. Minimum I.D. is the minimum pipe or flange I.D. required for disk swing clearance.

Preparing for Installation

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the valve disk during installation, the valve must be in the fully‐closed position. If the A31A valve is

equipped with a fail‐open actuator, remove the actuator before installing the valve/actuator assembly or cycle the valve

into the fully closed position. Then, take appropriate steps to ensure that the actuator does not cause the valve to open

during installation.

1. The A31A valve is normally shipped as part of an assembly with an actuator and other accessories such as a valve

positioner. If the valve and actuator have been purchased separately or if the actuator has been removed for

maintenance, properly mount the actuator and adjust valve/actuator travel and all travel stops before inserting the

valve into the line.

Follow the instructions in this manual for adjusting travel stops. Also, refer to a separate actuator instruction manual

for detailed actuator mounting and adjustment procedures.

2. If not previously removed, remove the protective end covers from the valve and inspect the valve body to be certain

that it is free of foreign material. Also, be certain that adjacent pipelines are free of any foreign material, such as

pipe scale or welding slag that could damage the valve seating surfaces.

CAUTION

The A31A valve is designed for use with the appropriate piping schedule for the specified ASME class. Minimum inside

diameters for flanges or pipe mating with valves are shown in tables 3 and 4. Be certain to align the valve accurately to

avoid contact between the disk and the flanges. Improper alignment or insufficient space for disk rotation could result in

damage to the disk.

3. Select the appropriate gaskets for the application. Flat sheet, spiral wound, or other gasket types, made to ASME

B16.5 group or user's standard, can be used on the valves depending on the service conditions of the application.

4. Refer to table 5 for the quantity and size of flange bolts required.

WARNING

The edges of a rotating valve disk have a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To avoid personal injury, keep

clear of the disk edges when rotating the disk.

1. See figure 5 for recommended valve orientation. See table 5 for flange bolt specifications. Install the lower flange

bolts first to form a cradle for the valve.

2. Properly orient the valve according to the specific application. For optimum performance, install the valve so that

the shaft will be on the high pressure side of the valve at shutoff. Install the valve and the gaskets between the

flanges into the cradle formed by the flange bolts.

3. Install the remaining flange bolts, making sure to center the gaskets on the gasket sealing surfaces of the flange

and body.

4. Tighten the flange bolts in an alternating criss‐cross fashion to a torque value of one‐fourth of the final bolting

torque. Repeat this procedure several times increasing the torque value each time by a fourth of the final desired

torque. When the final torque value has been applied, tighten each flange bolt again to allow for gasket

compression.

5. For hazardous atmosphere or oxygen service valves, read the following Warning, and provide the bonding strap

assembly mentioned below if the valve is used in an explosive atmosphere.

WARNING

The valve drive shaft is not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed. Personal injury or property damage could

result, if the process fluid or the atmosphere around the valve is flammable, from an explosion caused by a discharge of

static electricity from the valve components. If the valve is installed in a hazardous area, electrically bond the drive shaft to

the valve.

Note

The packing is composed of all conductive packing rings (graphite ribbon packing) to electrically bond the shaft to the valve for

hazardous area service or non‐conductive PTFE packing rings. For oxygen service applications, provide alternate shaft‐to‐valve

body bonding according to the following step.
