PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1EXAMINATION

  1. Examine valve interior for cleanliness, freedom from foreign matter, and corrosion. Remove special packing materials, such as blocks, used to prevent disc movement during shipping and handling.
  2. Operate valves in positions from fully open to fully closed. Examine guides and seats made accessible by such operations.
  3. Examine mating flange faces for damage. Check bolting for proper size, length, and material. Verify that gasket is of proper size, that its material composition is suitable for service, and that it is free from defects and damage.
  4. Do not attempt to repair defective valves; replace with new valves.

3.2VALVE INSTALLATION

  1. Install valves with unions or flanges at each piece of equipment arranged to allow service, maintenance, and equipment removal without system shutdown.
  2. Locate valves for easy access and provide separate support where necessary.
  3. Install valves in horizontal piping with stem at or above center of pipe.
  4. Install valves in position to allow full stem movement.
  5. Install chainwheels on operators for butterfly valves [NPS4 (DN100)] <Insert pipe size> and larger and more than [96 inches (2400 mm)] <Insert dimension> above floor. Extend chains to [60 inches (1520 mm)] <Insert dimension> above finished floor.
  6. Install valve tags. Comply with requirements in Section220553 "Identification for Plumbing Piping and Equipment" for valve tags and schedules.

3.3ADJUSTING

  1. Adjust or replace valve packing after piping systems have been tested and put into service but before final adjusting and balancing. Replace valves if persistent leaking occurs.
