Masoneilan Butterfly Control Valves

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Masoneilan 36005 Series High Capacity Control Ball Valves. It emphasizes adherence to safety protocols and the use of Masoneilan replacement parts, targeting trained professionals. A numbering system is included for valve configuration identification.
Safety Information
Safety warnings are categorized as DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION to prevent personal injury and equipment damage. Compliance with these notices is crucial for safe operation.
Installation
  • General: Carefully unpack the valve and record serial data for future reference.
  • Pipeline Mounting: Clean the valve and pipeline of foreign materials before installation. Install the valve with the flow direction pushing the seal ring against the ball, preferably with the ball opening upward for slurry applications.
Maintenance
Detailed instructions are provided for maintaining various subassemblies of the valve, including the bracket, body, actuator, and handwheel. The use of genuine parts is emphasized, with diagrams for reference.
Figures and Tables
The document includes figures illustrating the numbering system, general assembly, actuator sizes, and handwheel details. Tables provide parts lists for different valve components.
Warranty
GE warrants the products to be free from defects for one year from the date of shipment, provided they are used according to recommended guidelines. Product design or specifications may change without notice.
Specifications and Procedures
  • Flange bolt lengths are non-standard on the inlet and standard on the outlet side.
  • Bolting should be tightened evenly in a crisscross fashion to ensure even pressure on the seal ring.
  • The linkage of the 36005 V-Max valve is pre-adjusted at the factory and requires no further adjustment.
  • Insulation of the valve body should not cover the valve bonnet.
Air Piping Guidelines
  • Air piping must be adequately sized to provide the regulated supply pressure as specified on the nameplate.
  • Use 1/4" O.D. tubing for air lines, or 3/8" O.D. tubing if the supply air line exceeds 25 feet.
  • The actuator has a 1/4" NPT instrument air port on the upper case.
Safety and Maintenance Recommendations
  • Before changing actuator position or performing maintenance, isolate the valve, vent process pressure, and shut off air supply and signal air lines.
  • It is recommended to remove the valve from the pipeline prior to maintenance work.
  • Keep hands and tools away from the segmental ball to avoid injury.
Actuator Positioning and Valve Action
  • Actuator positioning should be done before installing the valve in the pipeline.
  • To change actuator position or valve action, follow the disassembly and reassembly instructions provided.
  • Ensure proper alignment of the lever on the shaft for correct valve operation.
Changing Valve Action
  • Valve action should be changed before installation to ensure the ball plug is fully closed when the actuator is in the proper position.
  • Follow specific instructions for different models and sizes to change valve action.
Warnings and Cautions
  • Do not exceed maximum air supply pressure.
  • Ensure rotation of the actuator does not exceed 90 degrees to prevent damage.
  • Keep hands clear of actuator stem and linkage during operation.
Maintenance Procedures
  • Bracket Subassembly (Model 33, Sizes B & C): Detailed steps for disassembly and reassembly, including the removal and replacement of various components like the actuator, handwheel, and indicator arm.
  • Bracket Subassembly (Model 33, Size AC): Similar procedures for size AC, with specific instructions for handling the actuator and handwheel assembly.
  • Body Subassembly: Instructions for packing maintenance, including disassembly and reassembly of packing rings, are provided. Avoid overtightening to prevent excessive friction.
  • Seal Ring Maintenance: Procedures for different types of seal rings (MN-7, Standard Metal, and Heavy Duty Metal) are detailed, including removal, inspection, and reinstallation steps.
  • Ball Plug Maintenance: Steps for disassembling the ball plug, including the removal of the bracket and seal assembly, are included.
Key Recommendations
The document recommends using specific lubricants like Dow-Corning 111® and 321® for seal and ball plug maintenance. Proper alignment and securing of components during reassembly are crucial for optimal valve operation.
Ball Plug Disassembly and Reassembly
  • Disassembly: Involves removing nuts, flanges, shafts, and bushings. Key steps include using a rod to push out components if they are stuck and inspecting parts for damage.
  • Reassembly: Requires cleaning and lubricating components, replacing bushings and gaskets, and ensuring proper alignment and engagement of parts. Special attention is given to the application of dry graphite lubricant for certain seal rings.
Actuator Subassembly
  • Disassembly: Emphasizes safety due to spring tension. Steps include isolating the valve, removing air supply, and carefully loosening tension nuts to avoid injury.
  • Reassembly: Involves aligning components, installing tension nuts and bolts, and ensuring proper sealing of the diaphragm. A criss-cross tightening pattern is recommended to avoid overtightening.
Handwheel Subassembly
  • Disassembly: Involves removing retaining clips and pins, checking for wear, and cleaning components.
  • Reassembly: Includes installing washers, lubricating components, and ensuring correct assembly without overtightening.
Diaphragm Replacement
  • Disassembly: Focuses on safely relieving actuator pressure and removing diaphragm components while maintaining tension bolt security.
  • Reassembly: Ensures clean sealing surfaces, correct alignment of diaphragm and bolt holes, and even tightening of tension nuts to avoid injury.
Key Recommendations
The document stresses the importance of safety precautions, proper lubrication, and even tightening of components to ensure effective maintenance and operation of the valve system.
