PACKING
This complete line of all steel bodied valves with
bolt-on bonnets are designed and built to maintain
reliability both in their seating and back seating
functions. This entire line is supplied with stainless
steel stems and backseating capability. Corrosion
resistant, high-grade stainless steel trim is available R/S Bonnet Design
upon request. A unique carbon filled PTFE seat is (Typical of 3/4" and 1")
standard throughout the line, lending durability to the
seating surface. In addition a dual O-Ring stem
packing design along with a stem packing seal is
standard on all valves from ¼” thru 2”. This innova-
tive design seals both the valve stem and bonnet resistance will be negligible allowing the valve to be

Installation
Screwed End. The most important factor other than the
valve itself in achieving a leak-tight and secure threaded
valve installation is selection and preparation of mating
piping. Pipe 1-1/2” and smaller should be Schedule 80
Steel ASTM A-106 Grade B or equal, properly cut to
correct length and cleanly and properly threaded with U.S.
National Tapered Male Pipe Threads. The male thread
sealant is recommended. Sealant should be applied
evenly to act as a lubricant between the threads to avoid
any chance of metal to metal galling. Valve and piping
should be adequately tightened with two wrenches posi-
tioned as close together as possible, but not touching the
pipe threads. In horizontal piping of suction, overfeed gas
return, or condenser drain lines, glove valve or angle valve
stems should be should be horizontal to avoid liquid

installed in horizontal or vertical pipelines. Stems may be
horizontal or vertical or angled upward. Globe valves in
horizontal suction lines or liquid overfeed return lines,
condenser drain lines, purge lines, oil pot drain lines and
level control column isolation valves should preferably
have stems horizontal rather than upward to avoid liquid
or gas trapping at valve seat orifices. Inlet pressure for
all valve sizes should normally be under valve seat disc.

The valve stem should be open during welding. Normally

it is not necessary to disassemble valves for welding.
However, if welding is prolonged enough to overheat the
body, a wet rag should be wrapped around the valve
bonnet and upper body during welding. The codes
applicable to the welding of socket weld valves require
that the pipe be inserted into the socket until bottomed
against the stop. The pipe is then to be backed out
approximately 1/16 of an inch before welding.

corrosion inside of the valve as well as leakage due to
vibration, pressure shock, or improper opening; the
valve seat should be cracked open to prevent hydro-
static expansion between the valve and the cap. Valves
should never directly feed a water tank because of
potential internal corrosion or seat opening caused by
vibration.

Before putting valves into service, all pipe connections,

valve seats, bonnet seals and stem seals should be
tested for leaks at pressure levels called for in appropri-
ate codes
