• Pipes must be aligned squarely with the valve at each

connection.

• If the valve has screwed ends, do not apply pipe dope to

the threads of the valve body or to the first two threads
of the pipe.

• If the valve has flanged ends, tighten flange bolts

evenly to prevent excessive stress and the possibility of
cracking.

• If the valve has welded ends, prevent plug and cage

distortion by keeping excess heat from the body.

• The valve, actuator, and accessories (if so equipped) are

assembled, tested, and calibrated at the factory. The
actuator nameplate specifies set-up parameters used
(See Information Present on Control Valves section
for location of important information on valve). Do
not exceed the supply pressure listed on the actuator
nameplate or you will damage the valve and void the
warranty.

• Supply air or voltage, instrument signal, and accessories

should be connected to ports or terminals as indicated
on the control valve.

• Final tuning may be required under actual operating

conditions.

• On critical or dangerous equipment, provide suitable

safety and emergency systems to protect personnel and
property from injury due to a valve malfunction. If the
valve handles flammable, toxic, corrosive or explosive
fluids, provide for safety in the event of valve leakage or
malfunction.

• Do not obscure flow arrow plates or nameplates with

paint. If flow arrow plates or nameplates will be covered
with insulation, it is recommended the information on the
plates be transcribed on the outside of the insulation in
the same location as the plate.

• Close inlet and outlet stop

valves.

• Check that valve responds

through rated travel in
relation to changes in
input signal. Rated travel
is shown by position of
travel indicator on valve
stem relative to travel
indicator on yoke.

For valves fitted with
a handwheel, manually
operate valve using
handwheel through rated
travel to check freedom
of movement. Return
handwheeel to its standby
position.

• Place valve in operation.
