Fisher® CAV4 Control Valve

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The manual provides comprehensive guidance on the installation, maintenance, and parts ordering for the Fisher CAV4 control valve and Cavitrol™ IV trim. It stresses the necessity of proper training to prevent injury or damage.

Specifications
The CAV4 control valve features a four-stage Cavitrol IV trim with soft metal-to-metal seats, suitable for a range of temperatures and pressures up to ASME B16.34 CL2500 ratings. Various configurations and sizes are available, tailored for specific temperature applications.

Installation
Correct installation is vital to avoid injury or damage. The valve should be installed with the actuator vertically above the valve body. Detailed installation steps include using protective gear and ensuring cleanliness of the valve and pipelines.

Principle of Operation
The valve operates by allowing liquid flow through staged pressure drops, minimizing cavitation and erosion. The Cavitrol IV trim ensures pressure drops occur downstream of seating surfaces to prevent cavitation.

Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential due to wear. Instructions cover packing lubrication, replacement, and trim removal, with safety precautions highlighted.

Educational Services
Emerson Process Management offers educational courses for the Fisher CAV4 valve, with contact information for registration.

Lubrication
For processes over 260°C (500°F), lubrication is not recommended. If needed, a silicon-base lubricant compatible with the process liquid should be used. Lubrication frequency depends on service conditions.

Packing Maintenance and Replacement
Guidelines for maintaining and replacing packing are provided, including safety warnings and detailed procedures for inspecting and replacing components.

Torque Specifications
Recommended torque values for packing flange nuts and valve body-to-bonnet bolting are provided in tables.

Trim Removal
Instructions for removing and inspecting the trim components are detailed, requiring specific tools and procedures.

Parts and Components
A comprehensive parts list with part numbers for replacements is included, highlighting recommended spare parts.

Actuator Groups
Actuator groups are categorized by type number, detailing yoke boss sizes and maximum travel specifications.

Recommendations
The document advises on the selection, use, and maintenance of valve components, emphasizing user responsibility.

Disclaimer
The manual is informational and does not constitute a warranty. Emerson Process Management may modify designs or specifications without notice.

Installation WARNING Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal injury. Personal injury or system damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in table 1 and on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or damage, use pressure-relieving devices as required by applicable industry codes to prevent the service conditions from exceeding these limits. Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures...

WARNING Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however, the packing might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions. Figure 2. Recommended Minimum Seat Load for All Constructions Flushing the Pipeline Before flushing the piping system, install the CAV4 flushing trim (figure 11), if available, as described in the Use of Optional Flushing Trim procedure in the Maintenance section. Principle of Operation With Cavitrol IV trim, liquid flow enters the valve through the side connection and enters the cage through the top...

Instruction Manual 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...

Instruction Manual Use a good quality silicon-base lubricant. Packing used in processes with temperatures over 260_C (500_F) should not be lubricated. Be certain the lubricant is compatible with the process liquid. The frequency of lubrication depends upon the severity of the service conditions. To operate the lubricator, simply turn the cap screw clockwise to force lubricant into the packing box. The lubricator/isolating valve operates the same way except the isolating valve must first be opened and then closed after lubrication is completed. Table 5. Recommended Torque for Packing Flange Nuts...
