Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage from the release of pressurized process media, ensure that the system is completely depressurized and appropriate safety measures have been taken prior to carrying out any of the following procedures. Only trained competent individuals with the proper equipment should attempt to disassemble and install a
Blowout Fixture, and reassemble a TBX valve.
D Do not remove the actuator from the desuperheater while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline . Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
Valve Disassembly
The following valve disassembly steps are intended as a quick reference only. Refer to the TBX instruction manual,
D103172X012, for key numbers and further detail regarding valve disassembly.
Actuator Removal
The following actuator disassembly steps are intended as a quick reference only. Refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for further detail regarding actuator removal.
1. Release the actuator seat load by either manually stroking the valve or applying the appropriate instrument signal.
The stem connector may be removed once the plug is off of the valve seat.
2. If an instrument signal has been used to stroke the plug off the seat, remove the signal only after removing the stem connector.
3. Isolate and disconnect the operating lines from the actuator.
4. Loosen the yoke fasteners, as appropriate, and remove the actuator from the valve.

Packing Box
Unbolt the packing stud nuts, (key 68), and remove the packing flange (key 66) and packing follower, (key 65)
(reference the appropriate instruction manual for key numbers). Remove as much packing as possible from the packing box.
CAUTION
Extreme care should be taken to avoid scratching the stem or the packing box.
Bonnet and Trim
1. Loosen the bonnet stud nuts, (key 55) using an even and opposing pattern (for example, if the first nut loosened is at the 1 o'clock position, the next nut to be loosened would be at the 7 o'clock position). This will prevent uneven loading of the bonnet studs which may cause binding.
Individual nuts should not be completely loosened while the remaining nuts are tight. It is suggested that at least two stages of loosening be used to avoid overloading the last few remaining studs.
2. Remove the bonnet (key 6) from the valve with uni‐axial pull. If the bonnet seems to bind in the valve body, check the alignment of the hoist or pulling mechanism. Deviation from an axial pull of the parts may result in galling or bending of the stem (key 23).
CAUTION
Do not attempt to over‐power any binding, as damage to the guide surfaces may result.
The bonnet may be lightly tapped back into alignment with a soft face mallet. The stem and plug should be pushed back into the valve body while the bonnet is being removed. Once the bonnet is removed, dislodge any remaining packing rings from the packing box.
3. Remove the packing ring (key 63) from the bottom of the packing box. Lightly sand the inside of the packing box with 60 or 80 grit paper to remove any adherent packing material. Final cleanup should be made with 160 grit or higher paper.
4. Inspect the bonnet guiding surfaces and gasket mating surfaces. Light damage on the guiding surface may be repaired with an emery cloth or other suitable material. Damage to the gasket mating surface may require bonnet replacement to avoid leakage.
5. Remove the plug assembly (key 22, 23, and 53) as a single unit by grasping the valve stem (key 23) and pulling the assembly from the body cavity. The plug assembly contains sensitive guiding and sealing surfaces on its outside diameter and care must be taken in its handling. The plug should be temporarily stored on a clean wooden or cloth surface.
6. Remove the cage (key 21) from the valve body. Remove and discard the upper and lower cage gaskets (key 43).
Reference the TBX valve instruction manual for guidance in performing this disassembly. The cage contains sensitive guiding surfaces on its outside diameter and care must be taken during handling. The cage should be temporarily stored on a clean wooden or cloth surface.
7. Clean and inspect the guiding and sealing surfaces of the plug assembly. For balanced plug designs, inspect the piston ring (key 45) and Bore Seal ring (key 46) for signs of excess wear or damage and replace if necessary. The piston ring is a two piece design with an outer seal ring and an inner expander ring. The outer ring diameter should
4
Instruction Manual
D103206X012
TBX Blowout Fixture
July 2017 be expanded beyond the diameter of the plug in its free state. It can be shifted within its groove to inspect for uneven wear around its circumference. The piston ring should require some compression when installing the plug into the cage. Lack of required compression indicates that the piston ring has worn or relaxed and should be replaced. Vertical marks in the axial orientation also indicates wear that requires replacement of the ring. The Bore
Seal ring has a C‐shaped cross section with the open portion of the C‐shape facing the stem side of the plug for flow‐up designs and the open portion of the Cshape facing the seating surface of the plug for flowdown designs.
Any uneven marks around the circumference of the ring or any flattening of the ring shape at its outside diameter are indications of wear and require replacement. Contact your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for
Bore Seal ring replacement.
8. Clean and inspect the inside diameter surfaces of the cage. The entire length of the cage inside diameter is either a sealing and/or guiding surface and any measurable wear requires that the cage be replaced.
9. Flow up construction only: The seat ring remains retained inside the valve body regardless if it is bolted or welded.
Clean and inspect the angled seating surface. Any detectable damage around the circumference of the seating surface is an indication of wear and requires reconditioning to ensure seating performance. Contact your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for specific instructions on reconditioning the seating surface.
10. Flow down construction only: The bolted seat ring and lower cage must be removed. Loosen the seat ring bolts,
(key 76) using an even and opposing pattern (for example, if the first nut loosened is at the 1 o'clock position, the next nut to be loosened would be at the 7 o'clock position). This will prevent uneven loading of the seat ring studs, which may cause binding. Individual bolts should not be completely loosened while the remaining bolts are tight. It is suggested that at least two stages of loosening be used to avoid overloading the last few remaining studs.
Reference the TBX instruction manual (D103172X012) for instructions on removing the bolted seat ring and lower cage (key 79). Discard the lower cage gaskets (key 75). The bolted seat ring and lower cage contain sensitive guiding and gasket surfaces on its outside diameter and care must be taken in their handling. The seat ring and lower cage should be temporarily stored on a clean wooden or cloth surface.
11. Remove all used gaskets and foreign matter from the interior of the valve and from the inlet and outlet openings.
Remove any foreign matter that may be in the valve body or trim. Inspect all valve body guiding and sealing surfaces for any signs of wear.
Visual Inspection
Visually inspect the interior of the valve for abnormal wear, signs of erosion, or scoring if the valve has been in service.
All scores and scratches should be removed by grinding or filing to remove any interference of the clearance zones between the internal bores and the mating parts. The affected area should be sanded with 100 grit or finer paper. Do not attempt to completely remove the score, only the interference should be removed and sanded.
The gasket surfaces of the valve body and bonnet should be inspected to verify that they are not damaged and are free of imbedded gasket material.

Installation of the Blowout Fixture
Inspect the valve to ensure that all parts and gaskets have been removed and the valve body is free from foreign debris. For TBX flow up constructions, lubricate the inside and outside of the seat lip and the upper valve body bore and counterbore. For TBX flow down constructions, lubricate the lower body bore where the bolted seat and lower cage guide and the upper valve body bore and counterbore. Install the trim as noted below and illustrated in the
Blowout Fixture drawings, figures 213.
1. Place the lower cage gasket (key 43) in the valve body.
2. Flow up construction only: Insert the blowout plug (key 5) in the valve body making sure that the gasket remains properly placed. Note that the Blowout Plug must extend to and engage with the seat ring. If there is any question regarding the proper seating of the Blowout Plug inside the valve body, the following measurements can be taken for confirmation. Measure the thickness of the Blowout Plug flange at its largest diameter. Measure the depth of the mating counterbore where the Blowout Plug flange engages into the valve body. When assembled with a new cage gasket, the resulting depth from the top of the valve body to the top of the Blowout Plug flange should be the difference in these two measured valves, minus an additional 0.045 inch to allow for the uncompressed gasket.
3. Flow down construction only: Insert the Blowout Plug (key 4 or 5) into the valve body, making sure that the gasket remains properly placed.
4. Place the upper cage gasket (key 43) on top of the Blowout Plug flange.
5. Lubricate the bonnet studs (key 54) and lower the blowout bonnet (key 10) onto the valve body, making sure that the upper cage gasket remains located in the gasket containment groove.
6. Lubricate and tighten the bonnet fasteners as recommended in the TBX valve instruction manual. Torque values are
also shown in table 1 of this document.
CAUTION
valve instruction manual may result in damage to the valve.
Piping Blowdown with the Blowout Fixture Installed
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts, do not exceed the pressure class rating of the blowout fixture when performing the piping blowdown.
Note
The following steps are not intended to be complete instructions for performing a proper system blowdown. They are intended only to address the basic issues required for proper piping blowdown.
1. Connect temporary piping to the Blowout Bonnet connection taking care not to impose excessive piping loads on the valve‐to‐bonnet connection.
2. Perform piping blowdown according to plant startup procedures. Normal blowdown procedures should incorporate piping velocities in excess of those anticipated during maximum system operation. Piping should be blown down until two subsequent checks of a target placed at the outlet of the blowdown piping indicate that all debris has been removed from the piping.

3. At the completion of the blowdown procedure, secure and depressurize the system.
Disassembly of the Blowout Fixture
1. Disconnect the temporary piping connection from the Blowout Bonnet.
2. Loosen the Blowout Bonnet nuts, (key 55) using an even and opposing pattern (for example, if the first nut loosened is at the 1 o'clock position, the next nut to be loosened would be at the 7 o'clock position). This will prevent uneven loading of the bonnet flange studs which may cause binding.
Individual nuts should not be completely loosened while the remaining nuts are tight. It is suggested that at least two stages of loosening be used to avoid overloading the last few remaining studs.
3. Remove the Blowout Bonnet (key 10) from the valve with uni‐axial pull. If the Blowout Bonnet seems to bind in the valve body, check the alignment of the hoist or pulling mechanism. Deviation from an axial pull of the parts may result in galling or bending of the stem.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to over‐power any binding, as damage to the guide surfaces may result.
4. Remove and discard the upper cage gasket (key 43).
5. Remove the Blowout Plug (key 5) from the valve body cavity using the integral eyebolt holes in the Blowout Plug.
6. Remove and discard the lower cage gasket (key 43).
CAUTION
To avoid compromising the service life of the TBX valve body and/or trim, do not reuse the Blowout Fixture gaskets for valve reassembly.
Cleaning
After removal of the blowout trim, the interior of the valve body should be rinsed with clean water or repeatedly wiped with clean towels until the surfaces are clean to the touch. All internal parts should be thoroughly cleaned prior to reassembly of the valve.
Reassembly
Refer to the TBX valve instruction manual for guidance in reassembling the valve.
