INTRODUCTION
APOLLO® BFV INSTALLATION MANUAL - Page 3 of 13
DESIGN FEATURES
LD145/WD145 SERIES
e Available in wafer or lug body.
e Flange holes comply with ANSI Class 125/150 dimensions.
e Cast-in top plate with ISO-5211 mounting dimensions provides for direct-mounting of
Apollo® actuators and manual operators.
e The face-to-face dimensions were designed to comply with MSS SP-67 and API 609.
e Wafer body features four alignment holes for ease of installation.
e Through-shaft design with spline connection with stem to disc. Disc-to-seat interface
provides bubble-tight shut-off with reduced torque and extended service life.
e Equipped with a stretch-resistant, non-collapsible, blowout-proof, phenolic-backed
cartridge seat. (14” through 24” have aluminum backing)
e Meets the intent and has passed AWWA C504-87 Section 5 proof of design tests.
e Factory tested to 110% of full rated pressure in both directions before shipping.
e NSF 372 Approved.
FLANGE AND PIPE COMPATIBILITY
APOLLO® Butterfly Valves are designed to fit between the following piping flanges:
e ANSI 125 Cast iron flanges (all sizes)
e ANSI 150 Steel flanges, schedule 40 (all sizes)
e ANSI 150 Steel flanges, schedule 80 (2”-12”)
Note: When installing valves in schedule 80 piping, make sure the valve is properly
centered between the pipe flanges to prevent disc edge damage since the
clearance between the disc O.D. and the pipe I.D. is reduced. If there isa
compatibility question, compare the minimum pipe I.D. with the disc chord
dimensions in Table 1.
OPERATING PRESSURES
LD145/WD145 SERIES:
ео 2”-12” (50mm-300mm) - 200 psig (13.78 bar)
PRODUCT STORAGE
e The valves should be stored with the disc in the partially open position.
e The valves should be stored indoors in a clean, dry, well-ventilated place away from
corrosive materials and protected from excessive dust and dirt.
e The valves should be stored on a rack or pallet off the floor and arranged to prevent
damage during handling.
e Keep valves out of direct sunlight and in a cool location to prolong elastomer life.
e Valves should be protected to prevent damage to the flange faces, disc sealing edge and
operator.

PRODUCT MARKING
All APOLLO® Butterfly Valves are equipped with an identification tag attached to the valve
neck. This tag provides the model number, part number, size, max pressure rating, and
date of manufacture.
FIGURE 1. NAME PLATE
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
APOLLO® butterfly valves are designed for use between the faces of ANSI 125 and 150
pound flat, raised face, slip-on or weld-neck flanges at the pressure indicated on the
nameplate. Flange gaskets should not be used. Due to the brittle nature of cast iron,
consideration should be given to the proper piping alignment prior to the installation of any
cast iron lug bodied valve. All APOLLO® resilient seated butterfly valves are bi-directional
with the ability to control flow equally in either direction. All LD145 Series APOLLO® lug
style butterfly valves may be used for dead-end service in either direction at their full
pressure rating.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Check to make sure that the pipe flange and valve sealing faces are clean and free
from any debris (pipe scale, welding slag, etc.).
Step 2. Check the valve nameplate to ensure that the pressure and valve materials are
correct for the application. See Tables 3 for seat material temperature ratings.
WARNING! - Apollo butterfly valves should never be installed where service
conditions could exceed the valve ratings. Failure to heed warning may
result in personal injury or property damage.
Step 3. The seat sealing face on the LD145/WD145 Series butterfly valves is wider than
the valve body providing a leak-proof seal when compressed between pipe flanges.
Therefore, no flange gaskets are required when installing any APOLLO” butterfly
valve.
Step 4. To prevent damage to the disc sealing edge during installation, position the disc in
the “partially open” position (Figure 2) so that the disc is still contained within the
valve body.

Step 6.
Step 7.
Step 8.
FIGURE 2. VALVE IN PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION
Spread the pipe flanges apart allowing the valve to be slipped easily in between the
flanges.
Center the valve between the flanges and loosely install all the flange bolts. On the
Model 145 wafer valve, the flange bolts that pass through the alignment lugs
should be installed first. Consult Table 2 for correct flange bolt size and quantity.
Slowly open the valve to the full open position (Figure 3) and back to the partially
open position ensuring that the disc moves freely without any obstruction. If no
obstruction is encountered, return the valve to the full open position and hand-
tighten all flange bolts using the bolt tightening sequence shown in Figure 4.
FIGURE 3. VALVE IN FULL OPEN POSITION
Rotate the disc from the fully open position to the fully closed position and make
sure that the valve is properly centered and the disc edge does not contact the pipe
ID. Return the disc to the full open position and tighten the flange bolts following
the bolt tightening sequence shown in Figure 4. However, do not fully tighten each
flange bolt all at once. Tighten each bolt incrementally following the sequence in
Figure 4 several times until the flange bolts are tight. After all flange bolts are fully
tightened, cycle the valve from full open to full closed to ensure that there is proper
disc clearance.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
APOLLO® butterfly valves are designed for extended service with minimal wear and
servicing. No regular lubrication is required. Prior to any replacement or repair, the valve
must be removed from the line following these precautions:
1. The pipeline on either side of the valve must be depressurized and drained.
2. Ensure that the disc is in the partially open or full closed position before removing the
valve from the line.
3. DO NOT remove an actuator or operator from the valve while the line is still
pressurized.

The LD145/WD145 Series butterfly valves DO NOT have field replaceable parts. Therefore,
assembly or disassembly is not permitted. Once the valve is removed from the line, inspect
the parts for wear. If valve parts show wear, replacement is necessary. Contact your local
APOLLO® distributor for a replacement valve.

MANUAL OPERATOR INSTALLATION
LEVER HANDLE MOUNTING PROCEDURE
Step 1. First, start by loosely assembling the notch plate on the valve top plate. The notch
plate should be installed with the notches in the third quadrant of the valve top
plate with the stop tabs at the 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock position. The notch plate
should be installed with the stop tabs pointing upward (Figure 5).
Step 2. Next, install the handle so that the lever fully engages in the notches when the
lever is released and tighten the handle set screw.
Step 3. Compress the handle lever and position the disc so that the valve is in the fully
closed position. Align the last notch on the notch plate at the 9 o’clock position
with the handle lever and tighten the notch plate screws.
Step 4. Compress the handle lever and position the disc so that the valve is in the fully
open position and release the lever. The lever should line-up with the last notch on
the notchplate at the 6 o’clock position.

Mount gear operator (Item 1) on top of butterfly valve with the four bolts and
washers provided with each assembly.
Use Allen wrench to remove locking set screws (item 2) and to adjust stops (item 3),
see tools required.
Remove locking (short) set screw from both sides of the gear operator. (Item 2)
Loosen the second (longer) set screws (Item 3) approximately three to four turns on
both sides of the gear operator.
Rotate handle to the fully open position and tighten set screw (item 3) into position.
Now, add locking set screw (item 2) and lock both into place.
Rotate hand wheel to the fully closed position. Note disc should be centered in the
seating surface.
Once disc is fully closed, tighten set screw (item 3) into the stop position. Then
open disc 20% and then back to closed position. Re-adjust set screw (item 3) if
necessary. Add Locking set screw (item 2) and lock both into place. You have now
locked both the open and closed positions into place.
As a quick reference, note the position of the pointer and the word CLOSE. The
pointer should be near the center or close to the top of the letter “E” in the word
CLOSE. See Illustration 2.
