INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR NIBCO BUTTERFLY VALVES

I. SHIPMENT & STORAGE

NIBCO butterfly valves are individually boxed thru the 12" size. The 14" through 60" butterfly valves are shipped individually with the faces covered using cardboard or plywood to protect the flange sealing surfaces.

The disc is shipped in the nearly closed position to protect the sealing edge and prevents the liner from taking a temporary set. The stem bushings and disc edge have been coated with a factory-applied lubricant to prolong storage and service life.

Valves may be shipped or stored in any position. Storage should be limited to 10 years indoors with a temperature range of 40º F to

90º F.

II. BUTTERFLY VALVE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

NIBCO butterfly valves are bi-directional and may be installed with flow in either direction.

Flanged, lug and wafer style valves are designed and suitable for installation between ANSI Class 125 or 150 flanges. Cast iron flatface, steel raised-face, both slip-on and weld-neck, and bronze or plastic flanges may be used (See Table I below). Generally raised face flanges should not be used with cast iron lug style valves (NIBCO N2002 and LC2000 series valves). Because of the unique seat design, NIBCO (2"-48") butterfly valves do not require the use of flange gaskets and can be used for dead end service without a downstream flange. Grooved style valves connect to metallic pipe of IPS per AWWA C606.

The valve can be installed in any horizontal or vertical position. If a choice of stem positions exists, the valve should be installed with the stem in the horizontal position; this will minimize seat wear by distributing the stem and disc weight evenly. Also, if the media is abrasive, the horizontal stem position is highly preferred.

These valves have been designed so that the disc, in the open position, will clear the inside diameter of schedule 40 and 80 steel pipe.

Care should be taken when installing a butterfly valve adjacent to lined pipe, as-cast fittings, or schedule 80 plastic pipe. In some cases the disc in the opened position will interfere with the adjacent component.

Butterfly valves should be installed a minimum of six (6) pipe diameters from other line components. This is not always practical but it is important to design in as much distance as possible. Interference may occur when valves are installed directly to the outlet flange of a swing check, silent check, or reducing flange. Check valve and butterfly valve combinations are very popular; normally a short spool piece is required between the valves.

When using a valve with gear operator attached, it may be desirable to have the hand wheel positioned to allow easy access, or for use of an optional adjustable sprocket rim (chain wheel) for remote operation. Before valve installation, please review Gear Operator

Installation and Handwheel Positioning section on page 3 of this booklet. These instructions illustrate how to orient the gear operator handwheel position in relation to the valve body and piping system. Pre-planning may save from having to remove a "just installed" valve and re-installing in another orientation.

1. Install handwheel (1) onto gear operator shaft and secure with pin (2). (If not already attached) See Fig. 1.

2. Turn the handwheel (1) clockwise until in full SHUT position.

3. Remove 2 screws holding pointer cover plate to center of gear operator to expose bore. Retain pointer cover plate and screws for reinstallation later.

4. Assure valve is in full SHUT position, turn valve stem (5) to close disc if necessary.

5. Assure both mounting base of gear operator (3) and valve top flange (6) are clean and dry.

6. Determine desired handwheel position in reference to the piping system and compare with Fig. 2. There are 2 mounting positions for the gear operator onto the valve and the valve can be mounted in either direction into the piping system.

This will allow handwheel to be positioned in any of the 4 quadrants as shown in

Fig. 2. Note that all Fire Protection and 10" and 12" size commercial valves only allow for handwheel positioning in quadrants 1 and 2.

7a) Gear operators with adapter bushing.

• Insert adapter bushing (4) into gear operator (3) bore aligning bushing key with desired keyway. Keyway selection will determine handwheel orientation position. (Note that Fire Protection model adapter bushings differ from illustration and only have 1 keyway position).

• Align adapter bushing (4) bore with valve stem (5) and slide gear operator assembly onto valve stem (5) until seated with valve top flange.

7b) Gear operators without adapter bushing.

• Align gear operator (3) bore with valve stem (5) and align with desired keyway.

IV. VALVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - FLANGE, LUG & WAFER STYLE ONLY

Always position the connecting pipe flanges accurately in the line, allowing sufficient space between the flanges for the valve. Make sure the pipe flange faces are clean of any foreign material such as scale, metal shavings or welding slag. Valves should be installed with the disc in the closed position to prevent damage to sealing surfaces.

1. Carefully insert the valve between the pipe flanges. Do not apply any lubricants to the seat faces as this may damage them.

2. Line up, center and secure the valve between flanges using desired bolts or studs as listed in Table 4 on next page.

Do not tighten bolts at this time.

3. Carefully open the valve to assure free unobstructed disc movement. Disc interference may result when valves are installed in

pipelines having smaller than normal inside diameters, such as heavy wall pipe, plastic-lined pipe, as-cast flanges or reducing

flanges. Interference can also occur when connecting directly to a swing check or silent check. Suitable corrective measures must

be taken to remove these obstructions, such as taper boring the pipe or installing a spacer or spool piece.

4. After proper operation is verified, tighten the bolts to the minimum recommended bolt torques listed in Table 3 below using a

cross-over pattern, also shown below in Figure 3. NOTE: When installing valves NPS 14" and larger between two flanges, it is

recommended that the cartridge liner be evely compressed from both sides of the mating flanges. NIBCO recommends a

multi-stepped process utilizing the cross-over pattern be used to draw the flanges against the liner from both sides of the valve

at the same rate, ensuring the liner is compressed evenly. This method differs from the practice used on smaller valves, wherein

one flange side is completely tightened before moving to the opposite side.

5. Pressurize piping to valve and inspect for leakage. If leakage is observed, tighten bolts using

cross-over pattern, increasing torque until leak stops.

DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM TORQUES LISTED IN TABLE 3 BELOW.

6. Recommended torques are made without warranty. Installer must verify proper strength bolts

for application. Bolts shall be clean and un-lubricated.

Caution

1. Class 250 cast iron and Class 300 steel flanges

can not

be used on these valves.

2. Rubber faced or mechanical flanges are

not

recommended.

3. This valve is

not recommended

for steam service.

4. Valves should

not

be assembled to the flanges and then welded into the piping system.

5. Lever-lock handles are

not

recommended for use on 8" and larger valves.

6. Do not install valves with EPDM liner in compressed air lines.

Due to the many unique features in the NIBCO butterfly valve design, there is no regular maintenance or lubrication required.

These valves are field repairable* with the stem, disc, seat and body, collar bushing and O-ring seals available as individual components.

IX. REPAIR

Remove handle, gear operator or actuator from the cast-mounting pad. Unscrew the collar bushing** and pull out the stem; this will allow the disc to be removed as well.

Replacement of the damaged component can be accomplished at this time. The body, seat and bushings are provided from the factory as one assembly rather than three separate components.

To reassemble, place the disc inside the seat in the open position. Align the stem hole thru the body and disc. Insert the stem into the body and disc, making sure to align the geometric drive flats between the stem and disc.

Replace both stem and body O-ring seals on the collar bushing and insert over the stem. Screw the bushing into the body until flush with top of mounting pad. Replace lever, gear or actuator and check for function before reinstalling in line.

Refer to assembly drawing below for individual components.

GEAR OPERATORS

All gear operators are lubricated for life at assembly, prior to shipment from factory.

During installation, customer should carefully adjust gear operators to suit the valve OPEN and SHUT positions; no further attention is normally required throughout the product life.

For installations where spare parts are held on site, it is suggested that a spare gear operator be held as an interchangeable item.

In the event of gear operator suffering damage or excessive wear in service, it is recommended that a replacement be supplied.

** Never remove the collar bushing with the system under pressure.
