GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on FlowTop general service control valves.
Product users and maintenance personnel should thor-
oughly review this bulletin prior to installing, calibrating,
operating, troubleshooting or performing any mainte-
nance on the valve or actuator. Separate instructions
cover additional features such as positioners, solenoid
valves, limit switches, etc.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or dam-
age to valve parts, WARNING and CAUTION
notes must be strictly followed. Modifying this
product, substituting non-factory parts or us-
ing maintenance procedures other than out-
lined could drastically affect performance and
be hazardous to personnel and equipment and
may void existing warranties.
CAUTION: The FlowTop is a general service, light-
duty valve and is not intended for severe ser-
vice applications such as cavitation, flashing or
extreme noise levels. Refer to the FlowTop Con-
trol Valves technical bulletin for application
guidelines and other limitations.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices
must be followed when working on this or any

NOTE: Selecting the proper fastener material is the
responsibility of the user. Typically, the supplier does
not know the valve service conditions or environment.
The user 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.
