cashco 988 Installation guide

I. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE
Model 988’s and 989’s are pneumatically actuated, globe-
style control valves. Sizes are 3/4", 1", 1-1/2" and 2".
Materials are available in cast carbon steel, Grade WCB
(CS); cast 316L SST, Grade CF3M (SST); and cast CW-
12MW, similar to Hastelloy C (H-C).
Failure position is determined by actuator for:
"D" = Direct action; on increasing air loading pressure, the
actuator stem extends. Fail-safe position is with the stem
retracted.
"R" = Reverse action; on increasing air loading pressure, the
actuator stem retracts. Fail-safe position is with the stem
extended.
These valves are designed for chemical service and most
common liquid, gaseous, or steam services.
Models 988 and 989 differ only in the face-to-face dimensions
of flanged units; 988’s have a “regular” (“long”) body pattern,
and the 989’s have a “short” body pattern.

III. INSTALLATION
A. Orientation:
1. Recommended orientation when installed in a
horizontal pipeline is with the stem vertical. Valves
may also be installed in vertical pipelines with
stems horizontal.
2. Outdoors, all installations may be oriented any
angle from horizontal-to-vertical. (Orient actuator
vent cap, if supplied, to not collect rainwater that
might freeze.)
3. Model 988/989 valves with actuators are not
recommended for installation with the actuator
oriented downwards.
B. Piping System:
1. It is recommended that the control valve unit
be installed with a double-block and bypass
as indicated in Figure 1. This arrangement is
recommended especially where maintenance will
be done on the valve body while still installed in
the pipeline.
5. Clean piping of all foreign debris, including chips,
weld scale, weld spatter, oil, grease, sand or
dirt prior to installing the control valve. This is
an absolute requirement for valves supplied
with composition soft seats. System startup
strainers for removal shortly after initial startup are
recommended.
6. Field hydrostatic testing the completed piping
system to 1-1/2 x CWP in psig indicated on
the nameplate including the Model 988/989 is
acceptable. If hydro test pressure exceeds the
1-1/2 x CWP limit, the 988/989 must be removed
for such testing. Before pressurization, the valve
plug should be lifted from the seat if of reverse,
ATO-FC action. Tighten packing as required.
7. In placing thread sealant on pipe ends prior to
engagement, ensure that excess material is
removed and not allowed to enter the valve upon
startup.
8. Flow Direction: Install so the flow direction matches
the arrow on the valve body.
9. For best performance, install in well drained
horizontal pipe, properly trapped if a steam service
application.
10. Valves are not to be direct buried underground.
11. Insulation may be applied as indicated in Figure
2. Drainage away from the packing area must be
ensured when fully installed, sealed and lagged for
outdoors installation.
12. Undue piping stress/strain or bending torques
may not be transmitted through the control valve
body. One pipe (inlet or outlet) should be anchored
rigidly for piping that is “hot” or “cold” with respect
to ambient temperature; the remain
ing pipe (inlet or
SECTION III
2. Pipe unions are recommended for NPT screwed
or socket welded installations to allow complete
removal from system. If removal for maintenance
is by cutting torch for socket welded valves, leave
sufficient pipe nipple space between the body and
the next piping component up or downstream to
allow socket weld couplings for reinstallation.
3. If pipe reducers are located before and/or after the
valve body, keep the reducers as close as practical
to the valve body; this is especially important where
the reducers are more than one line size larger than
the valve body size, which is common in gaseous
service.

outlet) should be supported and guided to ensure
unidirectional expansion/contraction.
C. Removal From Piping System:
1. Care should be taken in removal of separable
flanged units. Run wire across the flange face
and through bolt holes in 180° crossing pattern to
prevent flanges from coming loose during handling.
IV. STARTUP
A. General:
1. Ensure that the Model 988/989 unit has been
properly adjusted and calibrated, including the
positioner if installed.
2. Recommend startup to be in a “manual” mode.
This procedure assumes double block (isolation)
and bypass valves for the “control valve station”.
See Figure 1.
3. Start with either of the two block valves closed,
with the other open. The bypass valve should be
closed. Pressurize system if possible/practical.
4. Back out the airset’s adjusting screw until loose.
5. Turn on air supply pressure.
6. Adjust the air supply airset (filter-regulator) to the
proper level as indicated as follows:
Bench Setting Airset Output
psig (Barg) psig (Barg)
5–15 (.34–1.0) 20 (1.4)
15–60 (1.0–4.1) 75 (5.2)
7. Place loop controller into “manual” mode. Vary
setting from minimum – mid-range – maximum
SIG output. Observe response of control valve unit
to these changes of input SIG. The valve should
fully stroke at the variation from minimum SIG to
maximum SIG; the mid-range SIG should have the
valve stem at/near 1/2 travel.
8. Confirm that action of controller and positioner
– direct or reverse – are producing the desired
response in the control unit. Confirm that the control
valve “fail” position is as required.
9. Hereafter, the procedure assumes that actual
fluid flow may be established. This may not be
practical/possible in all cases; if so, vary procedure
as required. Always “heat” or “cool” down the
system piping SLOWLY by opening the control
valve station bypass valve in small increments.
10. With one of the control valve station block valves
still closed, and the loop controller still in “manual”
mode, open bypass valve and vary flow rate
manually to observe the response of the controller
and control valve unit together.
11. Attempt to develop manual control of the loop by
opening/closing the manual bypass as required,
or by manually controlling mainstream flow as
required.
12. When the control valve is partially open, slowly crack
open the closed block valve while simultaneously
closing the bypass valve. Continue this procedure
until the bypass is closed and the block valves are
both fully open. The system is still under “manual”
mode control, but all flow is passing through the
control valve.
13. Vary controller “manual” SIG output until matching
the “automatic” SIG output, then change the mode
of the controller over to “automatic”. The loop will
experience a minimum of upset conditions, and will
be in automatic control.
CAUTION
DO NOT WALK AWAY AND LEAVE A MANUALLY
CONTROLLED CONTROL VALVE UNATTENDED!
SECTION IV
CAUTION
Exhibit care in handling flanged units to prevent separable
flanges from coming loose, falling to floor and smashing
feet/toes.

V. MAINTENANCE
A. General:
1. Maintenance procedures hereinafter are based
upon removal of the valve/actuator unit from the
pipeline where installed.
2. Owner should refer to Owner’s procedures for
removal, handling and cleaning of non-reusable
parts, i.e. gaskets, suitable solvents, etc.
3. Valves supplied from the factory do not use any
aid to assist in gasket sealing such as oil, sealant
or pipe dope. Owner may use such aids provided
the aids are compatible with the Owner’s fluid.(See
below for “oxygen cleaned” valves.)
4. Valves originally supplied per Option-55 require
special cleaning procedures. Refer to Cashco
Specification No. S-1134 for details. When in
compliance with/to Spec. No. S-1134, the valve
is suitable for oxygen service. This procedure is
limited to bodies of SST or HC only.
5. All indicated Item Numbers that are with respect to
the actuator assembly (AA) will be in parenthesis
and underscored; i.e. (20); All Item Numbers that
are with respect to the body assembly (BA) are not
underscored; i.e. (32).
6. Special care must be exhibited when rotating
the plug/stem (3) of the valve to not mar that
portion of the surface of the stem where it
contacts with the packing (6). To rotate the
plug/stem use the jam nuts (52) or a soft jawed
pliers. NOTE: When using the jam nuts to rotate
the plug/stem, use the upper jam nut to rotate the
stem CW, and the lower jam nut to rotate the stem
CCW, when viewed from above valve plug/stem.
7. Hereafter, whenever text has the following notation,
"(Note PA.)", the following text is to be applied:
"For ATO-FC units ONLY, connect a
temporary air source with gauge to the actuator
and pressurize to a level sufficient to initiate
travel to approximately mid-stroke."
8. Hereafter, whenever text has the following notation,
"(Note RP.)", the following text is to be applied:
"For ATO-FC units ONLY, release all
temporary air pressure."
B. Actuator Assembly Removal:
1. Refer to the correct actuator IOM for this procedure.
2. Secure the (BA) in vise with (AA) oriented vertically.

VI. CALIBRATION
A. General:
1. This section only covers calibration of the
control valve with Actuator Models C27/C53.
2. Positioner, if installed, requires reference to
the specific positioner model IOM for proper
calibration procedure.
3. All indicated items numbers that are with
respect to IOM-C27-C53 will be in parenthesis
and underscored; i.e. (20); those that
reference the positioner IOM will be in double
parentheses; i.e. ((AP)). All item numbers that
are with respect to this IOM-988/989 are not
underscored; i.e. (3).
B. Procedure - Reverse Action, ATO-FC:
Figure 11: Dimensionals for Proper Packing Load
G. External Live-Loaded Packing Adjustment:
1. There are two types of indicators for determining
“packing wear” –
a. Ability to “freely spin” the spacer rings (40).
b. Measure the spacing between the upper
retainers (39) spacer rings (40) (see Fig. 11).
NOTE: Regardless of live loaded packing design, all
use the same method for obtaining the proper pre-load
to new or used packing.
2. To properly tighten packing, grasp spacer ring
(40) between the thumb and forefinger at points
approximately 180° from each other.
a. Tighten packing stud nuts (15) in 1/2 revolution
increments, alternating from one nut to the
other, while attempting to rotate the space
rings (40).
b. Once spacer rings (40) can no longer be
rotated by the fingers, attempt to “even”
the opposite packing nut (15) so that the
upper retainers (39) are level, then add 1/2
revolution to each packing nut. Adjustment
completed.
3. If the spacing between the upper retainers (39)
and spacer rings (40) are used as visual indicator,
the spacing should not exceed 0.060" (1.5 mm)
(approximately 1/16"). When this level of “packing
wear” is indicated, adjustment per Step 2. above
is required.
4. Packing (6) adjustment can be made at any time.
NOTE: If packing (6) live-load is set too high, the
packing will act as non-live-loaded, jammed packing.
Excess actuator thrust will be required and packing
wear will be accelerated.
SECTION VI
1. Reference the nameplate (40) attached to
the actuator yoke (3). Determine the bench
setting of the installed range springs (10) from
the nameplate; i.e. 5-15 psig (.34 -1.0 Barg),
or 15-60 psig (1-4.1 Barg).
2. Connect a temporary air supply with an in-line
adjustable airset regulator and gauge to the
lower actuator connection. See Section IV. A.
6. for appropriate supply pressure. DO NOT
LOAD with any air pressure at this point.
3. To determine when stem/plug (3) begins
to lift out of the seat, touch the stem above
the packing studs with one finger. (Stem
will begin to move when actuator pressure
exceeds the spring load.)

11. To limit the up travel at the desired stroke
length, rotate the travel stop nut (52) CW and
secure to bottom of the attachment hub (4).
NOTE: Secure the actuator stem (6) by the
flats when rotating the travel stop nut.
NOTE: “Stroke” length is indicated on the
nameplate (40), and is the distance between
the “C” and “O” marks of the indicator plate
(23).
NOTE: The proper calibration of the actuator/
valve unit will occur when at the lower pressure
level of bench setting, the valve plug (3) will
just begin to travel from the "C" position.
At the upper level of the bench setting, the
actuator pressure should be within ± 8% of the
upper bench setting for the designed stroke
length.

the "O" mark on the indicator plate.
11. To limit the up travel at the desired stroke
length, rotate travel stop nut (52) CW and
secure to bottom of the attachment hub (4).
NOTE: Secure the actuator stem (6) by the
flats when rotating the travel stop nut.
NOTE: “Stroke” length is indicated on the
nameplate (40), and is the distance between
the “C” and “O” marks of the indicator plate
(23).
NOTE: The proper calibration of the actuator/
valve unit will occur when at the upper
pressure level of bench setting, the valve plug
(3) will be in the "C" position. At the lower level
of bench set the actuator pressure should be
within ± 8% of the lower bench setting for the
designed stroke length.
12. Release all pressure from actuator.
