Series 2200/2220 1.0 & 2.0

INTRODUCTION
CAUTION!
You will see warning boxes like this
throughout the manual. Please read
and strictly observe these warnings to
prevent personal injury or equipment
damage. Before you begin the installation, operation or repair of equipment, make sure to completely review
and understand the instructions in this
manual.
The information contained in this manual is about the 1.0 and 2.0 Norriseal
Series 2200 and 2220 Control Valves.
Please refer to separate manuals for
all other controllers, positioners and
their optional accessories.

About the Series 2200/ 2220 Valve

The Series 2200/ 2220 Valve is
designed for general use for either
liquid or gas source that require a
throttle or on/off control. The Series
2200/2220 Valve has one port with
three different types of plugs (or un-

balanced trim): quick opening, equal

percent and modified percent. The
pneumatic spring-diaphragm actuator is either open yoke (model 2200)
or close-coupled (model 2220). The
valve has a hammer nut closure.
All Norriseal valves come with springdiaphragm pneumatic actuators that
are either reverse-acting (fail-closed)
or direct-acting (fail-open). Both are
available in No. 9 (35 sq. in.) and No.
12 (70 sq. in.).
The Series 2200/ 2220 valves have
non-adjustable, spring-loaded packing with PTFE V-rings and a spring
below the packing to maintain a tight
stem seal.
WA RNING!
Before attempting to disassemble or
repair this valve, please make sure that
all pressure going through the valve
has been relieved. Failure to do this will
cause personal injury and/ or damage

to the device. In addition, the fluid that

projects from the device after failure to
comply with these warnings will cause
injury to people, equipment and the
environment.

Identifying the valves

The nameplate of each valve has the
assembly information you need to
replace the part and can be found on
its upper diaphragm. It is important
to use genuine Norriseal parts when
repairing valves. When calling your
Norriseal representative, make sure
to have the serial and model numbers
found on the nameplate.
WARNING!
When consulting the nameplate please
pay attention and adhere to the maximum pressures and temperatures for
the valve. Should you need to increase
the limitations of the parts, install relief
valves or other over-pressure protection devices in the pressure lines.

CAUTION!
Your valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet
specific pressure, temperature, pressure drop and fluid conditions. Some
combinations of body and trim are
limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges. Please call the Norriseal sales office or your sales representative before subjecting the valve to
conditions outside the specified range.

1.0 Valve Installation and

Start-Up

7. Connect the supply pressure

to the actuator or the positioner
connection. (REMINDER: refer to
the nameplate for pressure limitations) Run the actuator through
a couple of cycles to confirm the
proper operation of the valve.
WARNING!
Do not supply pressure that exceeds
the maximum on the nameplate. Under
no circumstances should the actuator
supply pressure exceeding 35 psig for
#12 actuators or 50 psig for #9 actuators.

1. Inspect the valve for any damage or residue that might have
occurred during packing or shipping. Remove all protection material from the parts.

8. In certain operating conditions

the actuators springs may need
to be adjusted. To adjust the
springs:

2. Make sure to blow air into all

the pipelines to rid them of any
foreign material. Threaded and
gasketed surfaces should also
be free from residue.

A. FOR A REVERSE ACTUATOR

Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw located on the top
of the actuator spring housing.
To achieve a tighter shut off, increase the springs preload and
plug seating force by turning the
adjusting screw CLOCKWISE.
To reduce the preload, turn the

3. Be sure to install the valve so

that flow direction is under the
seat for throttling trim. For quick
opening trim, it can be installed
either under the seat or over the
seat. (reference Table 3)
4. Good piping practice during installation includes using a suitable gasket in between the body
and pipeline flanges. For threaded (NPT) bodies use pipe thread
sealant.
5. This is a good time to inspect the
nameplate on your valve. Identify the working pressure limitations of your valve (they are rated
ANSI 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500,
or 2500 class) and DO NOT exceed the marked pressure.
6. If you choose to insulate your
valve, DO NOT insulate it above
the hammer nut.

adjusting screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Be sure to tighten

the lock nut after making the
needed adjustments.
NOTE: Dont adjust the spring past the
point necessary to achieve shut off and
past the maximum actuator pressure
allowable to fully open the valve.

B. FOR A DIRECT ACTUATOR

Remove the spring cover by first
loosening the two set screws at
the base of the cover. To increase
the springs pre-load, turn the adjusting nut CLOCKWISE. To reduce the pre-load, turn the adjusting nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Be sure to replace the spring
cover and tighten the set screws
after adjusting your springs.
NOTE: Only adjust the spring tension
to the extent necessary to fully open
the valve at operating conditions.
Any additional adjustments will result
in a reduction of plug seating force,
possibly resulting in trim leakage.

INSPECTION SCHEDULE

Valve Trim
(Seat, Plug)

Inspect every 6 months, under normal service conditions

(low-pressure drop and no sand or abrasives in fluid).
Or inspect every 2 months, under service conditions, such as
high-pressure drop, corrosion, or fluid with sand.

Stem Packing

Inspect Packing at least once a year.

Actuator

Inspect Diaphragm, Spring and Stem once a year.

Body

The body should last many years under normal conditions.

However, under severe conditions of corrosion or erosion from
sand in the flowing fluid, high-pressure drops, or high-fluid
velocity, body life may be greatly reduced. Inspect the body
each time the bonnet is removed.

Bonnet

Inspect Bonnet once a year or whenever trim inspection is

performed.

Seals

Inspect O-rings each time valve is disassembled.

*Under certain operating conditions, this suggested maintenance schedule will not be adequate and shorter time intervals
may be required.

2.0 Valve Maintenance

WARNING!
Before making any repairs to your valve
follow the following four steps:

1. Isolate the valve from the

process/ system.
2. Shut off all supply lines to the
actuator.
3. Release the process pressure
(both upstream and downstream).
4. Vent the actuator supply pressure.

3. CLOCKWISE until the springs

preload is completely removed
(or de-energized). Remove the
adjusting nut, washer, upper
spring retainer and spring.
4. Remove the nuts and screws
from around the diaphragm
housing flange and remove the
upper diaphragm housing by sliding it carefully upward and off the
stem.

5. Remove the cotter pin and

unscrew the upper stem from the
lower stem.
6. Remove the bearing washers,
O-ring, diaphragm, diaphragm
plate and hex nut (2220).
7. Unscrew the lower housing from
the yoke (2200) or bonnet (2220).
This is the final step in disassembly of the 2220 valve actuator.
8. Loosen the two jam nuts securing the valve stem to the actuator stem and unscrew the stems.
Remove the travel indicator from
the valve stem (2200 only).

Be aware that all valve parts are

subject to normal wear and tear,
and as a result, should be inspected
and replaced regularly, as necessary. The frequency of your inspections will depend on the frequency
and type of usage your parts are put
through. During each inspection, you
will be required to disassemble and
re-assemble the valve. The following
section will describe this process in
detail. Should maintenance be necessary, it can be done while the valve
body is in line as long as:

9. If repair warrants, unscrew the

yoke (2200) from the bonnet.

1) The line is not in service

2.2 Actuator Re-Assembly

To re-assemble the actuator, lubricate the O-rings and simply reverse
the steps of the disassembly procedure in Section 2.1 for the appropriate actuator (direct or reverse).

Use care to avoid damaging O-ring

sealing surfaces. Assume all of these
parts are in good condition when disassembling the valve and protect
them accordingly. The surface finish
of the valve stem is critical for creating a reliable packing seal. The bore
of the seat/ cage is critical for smooth
operation of the valve plug. The seating surfaces of the valve plug and
seat/ cage are critical for tight shutoff.

WARNING!
Before making any repairs to your valve
follow the following four steps:

1. Isolate the valve from the

process/ system.
2. Shut off all supply lines to the
actuator.
3. Release the process pressure
(both upstream and downstream).

CAUTION!
When disassembling the plug, provide
adequate support to avoid bending or
damaging the stem or trim. Protect
them by using a solid block as a backup
while removing the pin from the plug.

5. Using a punch or 1/8 drift pin,

drive the pin from the stem and
unscrew the plug from the stem.
6. Pull the seat/ cage from the valve
body. In order to remove it, it may
be necessary to hook one of the
cage flow openings and pull it. A
seat/ cage removal tool is available from Norriseal.

B. With the Acuator Previously

Removed from the Valve
CAUTION!
Use care to avoid damaging O-ring
sealing surfaces. Assume all of these
parts are in good condition when disassembling the valve and protect them
accordingly. The surface finish of the
valve stem is critical for creating a reliable packing seal. The bore of the seat/
cage is critical for smooth operation
of the valve plug. The seating surfaces
of the valve plug and seat/ cage are
critical for tight shutoff.

1. Disassemble the actuator by

following the procedure in Section 2.1.
2. Unscrew the hammer nut
(turning COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
from the valve body by striking
the lugs with a hammer, and
remove it from the bonnet.
3. Remove the bonnet from the
valve body along with the stem
and plug.
CAUTION!
When disassembling the plug, provide
adequate support to avoid bending or
damaging the stem or trim. Protect
them by using a solid block as a backup
while removing the pin from the plug.

4. Using a punch or 1/8 drift pin,

drive the pin from the stem and
unthread the plug from the stem.
5. Pull the seat/ cage from the valve
body. In order to remove it, it may
be necessary to hook one of the
cage flow openings and pull it. A
seat/ cage removal tool is available from Norriseal.
6. Remove the packaging washer,
spring and retainer from the
packing plug. Pull the valve stem
out of the bonnet.

7. Use a hook-shaped tool to

remove the packing and O-ring.
Remove stem bushing.
CAUTION!
Use care to avoid damaging or scratching the bonnet bore.

2.4 Trim Inspection

1. While examining the valve plug
and seat, use a magnifying
glass to look for signs of erosion,
pitting, scratches and damage
from corrosion.
2. Fit the plug and the seat together. Lift the seat up to a light and
look through the hole at the bottom. If any light can be seen between the plug and seat contact
surfaces this is an indication of a
poor fit.
3. Determine the severity of the
damage. It is likely the plug and
seat contact surfaces can be fully
restored by re-lapping. Replace
any parts that are beyond restoration.
4. Examine the stem for pitting,
scratches or damage in an area
adjacent to the packing and Oring. If worn, replace the stem.

2.5 Trim Restoration

CAUTION!
Trim that has been lapped too much
will widen the lap band and reduce the
force of the plug seating.

Lap the plug to the seat. NOTE: This

process does not apply to plugs with
soft-seat inserts.
1. Clean plug and seat in solvent
and wipe dry.
2. Select the appropriate lapping
compound as shown in Table 2.
3. Using a stir stick or similar device, apply lapping compound
sparingly on 3 or 4 places, approximately equidistant along the
seat surface on the plug. NOTE:
The use of excess compound
runs the risk of uneven lapping of
the surfaces.
4. Once the compound has been
applied using the stem, fit the
seat against the plug and begin

Page 6 of 12

lapping the trim by pressing firmly

with your hands while rotating, in
a back and forth motion, against
the stationary plug.
5. The seat will have a circular uninterrupted lap band not exceeding
1/32 in width at the base of the
seatings beveled edge.
6. The plug will have a definite continuous lap band that is approximately the same width as the
plug without being grooved.
7. You are done when the lap areas
of the seat and plug have a continuously smooth, close grained,
dull appearance with no skips or
tears.
8. Once finished, wash the plug
and seat in solvent to remove all
lapping compound and wipe the
parts dry.
9. Under a bright light, visually inspect the lapped contact surfaces of the seat and plug.

2.6 Valve Re-Assembly

CAUTION!
If the packing is to be re-used and was
not removed from the bonnet, use care
when re-installing the valve stem to
avoid damaging the packing with the
stem threads.

NOTE: Install and lubricate all new

O-rings prior to re-assembly
Re-assemble the valve by reversing
the order of the disassembly procedure in Section 2.3.

4.0 Trouble Diagnosis

CAUTION!
WARNING!
Some of the following trouble-shooting techniques require the removal or disassembly of components normally under pressure.
Before beginning any repair, be certain that all pressure(s) have been relieved from the device in accordance with the INTRODUCTION and other section references in this manual.

4 .1 In t er n al Le akage P r oble ms
Symptom Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action(s)

1. In the closed position, the valve leaks

process fluid from inlet to outlet port.

2. Process fluid leaks into lower diaphragm

housing (Series 2220 only).

Reverse-acting (fail-closed) actuator has

insufficient spring tension

Slowly increase the spring tension (refer

to 1.8 A) and watch for the leak to stop.

Direct-acting (fail-open) actuator has

excessive spring tension or insufficient
actuator supply, or both

Decrease the spring tension (refer to 1.8

B) to the minimum necessary to achieve
full opening at operating conditions and/
or increase actuator supply pressure (refer to 1.7). Watch for the leak to stop.

Direct-acting (fail-open) actuator thrust

out-put diminished due to:
1) failed O-ring around upper stem or, 2)
punctured actuator diaphragm.

Apply supply pressure to actuator then

remove the spring cover (refer to 1.8B).
Check for leakage around the: 1) O-ring
where the upper stem enters the upper diaphragm house and 2) diaphragm
from the opening of the vent plug installed in lower diaphragm housing. Apply
leak-detector (soapy water) if necessary.
Disassemble actuator (refer to 2.1 A), inspect and replace seal component(s) as
necessary.

Worn or damaged valve trim (plug and

seat) or failed seat/ cage-to-body O-ring.

Remove the actuator assembly at its

hammer nut (refer to 2.3 A) and the seat/
cage from its body. Inspect the valve trim
(refer to 2.4) and O-ring seal components. Restore (by lapping) trim and/or
replace component(s) as necessary.

Differential pressure shut-off requirement exceeds the thrust output available

from the actuator.

First, record the valve serial number,

model number, flow direction, current
trim size and service conditions. Then
call your Norriseal representative to verify
actuator sizing and shut-off capability.

Bonnet-to-valve stem packing and bonnet-to-valve stem O-ring failed. The valve
stem may be worn or damaged. If you
cannot see the leak outside of the pipe,
the bonnet weep hole is plugged.

Disassemble the actuator (refer to 2.1)

and valve (refer to 2.3 B). Inspect the Oring and the sealed surfaces of the bonnet
and stem. The packing must have some
installation fit interference with both. Replace worn component(s) as necessary.
If the bonnet weep hole is plugged than
clean it out.

Symptom Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action(s)

1. Process fluid is leaking from the bonnet

weep hole.

The bonnet-to-valve stem packing failed

and the valve stem may be worn or
damaged.

Disassemble the actuator (refer to 2.1)

and valve (refer to 2.3B). Inspect bonnet and stem sealing surfaces. The
packing must have some installation fit
interference with both. Replace the worn
component(s) as necessary.

2. Process fluid is leaking from between

the hammer nut and bonnet and/or valve
body.

Bonnet-to-valve body O-ring failed.

Remove the actuator assembly at the

hammer nut (refer to 2.3 A). Inspect
the O-ring and sealing surfaces of the
bonnet and valve. Replace the worn
component(s) as necessary.

3. In Reverse-acting (fail-closed) Actuators only: Supply pressure leaks from

around the actuator stem at the top of
the yoke window opening (Series 2200)
or from the bonnet weep hole (Series
2220).

The actuator stem-to-yoke O-ring failed

(Series 2200) or the valve stem-to-bonnet O-ring failed (Series 2220)

Series 2200: Disassemble the actuator

(refer to 2.1 B) and inspect the O-ring,
yoke and actuator stem sealing surfaces.
Series 2220: Disassemble the actuator
(refer to 2.1B) and valve (refer to 2.3B)
and inspect the O-ring, bonnet and valve
stem sealing surfaces. For either series,
replace any worn components.

4. Direct-acting (fail-open) actuator only:

Supply pressure leaks from around the
base of the spring cover on top of the
upper diaphragm housing.

The actuator stem-to-upper diaphragm

housing O-ring failed.

Disassemble the actuator (refer to 2.1A)

and inspect the O-ring, back-up ring and
sealing surfaces of the stem and housing
bore. Replace the worn component(s) as
necessary.

4. Supply pressure is leaking from the

diaphragm housing vent plug when the
valve is not moving.

The Actuator diaphragm is punctured.

Disassemble the actuator (refer to

2.1) and replace the diaphragm and
diaphragm-to-diaphragm plate O-ring.

4. 3 Va l v e P erfor manc e P r oble ms

Symptom Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action(s)

1. The valve will not open completely (reverse-acting fail-closed actuator) OR the
valve will not close completely (directacting fail-open actuator).

Troubleshoot to find an actuator seal leakage (refer to 4.2, Symptoms 3, 4 and 5)

The actuator spring has excessive tension or the supply pressure is too weak
to override the spring (or both).

Decrease spring tension (refer to 1.8)

until full flow is achieved; increase the
actuator supply pressure (refer to 1.7) if
required.

2. The valve is fully closed and will not

open.

The supply pressure line is connected to

the wrong side of the actuator or the reverse-acting (fail-closed) actuator spring
is completely compressed resulting in
the inability to lift the valve plug.

Make sure the actuators supply pressure

source line is connected to the lower
diaphragm housing. Then decrease the
spring tension (refer to 1.8A) until valve
is open far enough to allow full travel.

Symptom Probable Cause(s) Corrective Action(s)

2. The valve is fully closed and will not open.

(Continued)

The direct-acting (fail-open) actuator

cannot vent supply pressure due to a
non-relieving pressure source device.
Troubleshoot by following section 4.3 -2A
to eliminate those items as problems.
In a reverse-acting (fail-closed) actuator,
the supply pressure may be the problem
and in a direct-acting (fail-open) actuator,
the spring tension may be insufficient to
open the valve plug (the tension may not
be enough to overcome the static differential pressure holding the plug closed).
The static differential pressure combined
with the trim size and the direction of the
inlet flow-over may exceed the available thrust of the actuator opening.

3. The valve will not close. It is stuck fully

open.

4. The valve movement is sluggish or

unusually slow.

Replace the supply pressure source

device with one that relieves pressure or
install a 3-way vent valve at the actuator
supply connection.
Follow the corrective actions suggested
in Section 4.3 2A.
If you have a reverse-acting (fail-closed)
actuator, increase the supply pressure. If
you have a direct-acting (fail-open) actuator, increase the spring tension. For
both, an increase in supply pressure may
be require to re-close the valve.( refer to
1.7)
Record the valves serial number, model
number, current trim size and services
conditions. Contact your Norriseal Representative to verify actuator sizing and
shut-off capability.

In a reverse-acting (fail-closed) actuator,

the supply pressure cannot be vented
due to a non-relieving pressure source
device.

Replace the supply pressure source

device with one that is able to relieve
pressure, or install a 3-way vent valve at
the actuator supply connection.

The supply pressure line is connected

to the wrong side of the actuator. If its
a direct-acting (fail-open) actuator, the
spring may be fully compressed and
unable to create valve plug movement.

Make sure that the actuator supply pressure source line is connected to the
upper diaphragm housing. Decrease
the spring tension (refer to 1.8B) to the
minimum necessary to achieve full opening at operating conditions.

There may be actuator seal leakage (refer

to 4.2, symptoms 3, 4, or 5)

Perform the correlating (3, 4 or 5)

corrective action suggested in 4.2.

The opening of the diaphragm housing

vent plug is partially blocked.

Remove the vent plug and unclog the

opening

If you just installed the valve, the actuator

supply pressure volume may be too low.
If the valve has been in use for a while,
the volume has diminished over time
due to clogged openings and/or filters in
control devices/ regulators.

Increase the supply pressure line size

and/ or install a volume booster. Clean
the openings and clean/ replace the
filters of the control devices according to
the manufacturers recommendations.

5. The inlet flow direction is over the seat

and the trim size is or larger (**this
is generally applicable to throttling
service only)
On initial opening, the valve instantaneously travels to full open or near full
open position (there is no valve position
control over travel range).

6. Generally applicable
service only:

to

throttling

The closed valve is leaking or will not

open against static differential pressure
even with the actuator spring tension
adjusted to correspond with the control
instrument signal start point (3 psig if
in the 3-15 range, 6 psig if in the 6-30
range). (refer to 4.3, #5 symptom
and probable cause)

The actuator opening thrust required (by

overcoming static differential pressure)
to open the valve plug is greater than the
opposing actuator spring force (tension)
adjustment.
The spring force (tension) requirement
for the particular service conditions
exceeds the capabilities of the actuator
being used.

The actuator spring force (tension)

necessary to achieve a tight shut-off OR
overcome the static differential pressure
holding the valve plug closed against the
seat is more than the force coming from
the actuator (3-15 psig) or the supply
pressure (6-30 psig).

Slowly increase the spring tension

(refer to 1.8) and check the movement
of the valve opening. Slowly increase
the tension until the valve plug lift is
controllable. An increase in the actuator
supply pressure (refer to 1.7) may also
be required.
Write down the valve serial number,
model number, current trip size and
service conditions. Then contact your
Norriseal representative to verify the
actuator sizing.
Record the valve serial number, model
number, current trim size and service
conditions. Then contact your Norriseal
representative to verify that the actuator
has sufficient thrust capability. You may
need a valve positioner to:
1) Achieve accurate valve response
to the control instrument signal that
a simple spring tension adjustment
would not fix.
2) Make use of all available actuator
thrust for shut-off up to the maximum
actuator rating.

The Styles
The Series 2200 and 2220 valves are
available in three valve body styles:
THE GLOBE: This style comes in
1 and 2 valve sizes and has two
process piping connections-one on
each side.
THE ANGLE: This style is available
in 1 (using a tee style body) and
2 valve sizes and has two process
pipe connections- an upper port
side connection and a lower port
bottom connection.
THE TEE: This style is only available in the 1 valve size.
The female threaded NPT body has

three connections-one on each side

located in-line (like the globe style)
and an additional bottom connection
located in the center (it shares the
lower port passageway) and has a
pipe plug installed to permit field conversion to either a globe or angle flow
pattern. The tee body is also used for
1 angle pattern flanged, socket-weld
and butt-weld bodies. The unused
side port is permanently plugged and
welded closed.

sents the position of the internal

cast web (or bridge) separating the
lower port-flow passage from the
upper port-flow passage. The Series
2200/2220 valve can be installed
with the inlet fluid flow directed into
the bodys lower port (flow under
seat) or upper port (flow over
seat). This is the reason a bridge
symbol is used instead of a direction
arrow. Issues regarding your valves
performance are often because of the
direction fluid is flowing through the
valve body. The illustrations below
define how the bridge symbol geometry and the internal port orientation
of the valve body work together.
