Section A: Warnings
•All Pacific Valves are designed and manufactured to be installed in applications where no more than
1g of force in excess of gravity is applied to the valve in any direction. This 1g force can be an effect
of Traffic, Wind or Earthquake. Pacific Valves should not be used in applications that exceed 1g.
•All piping system components are subject to certain levels of erosion and corrosion. As the valve
wall thickness is the governing variable in overall service life, care should be taken to ensure that all
valves and related piping components are of a suitable wall thickness for the given application.
Periodic inspections should also be made as valves/components may wear over time. As a
minimum, annual inspection of valve body and bonnet wall should be performed with calibrated
measuring devices such as micrometers and/or ultrasonic thickness gauges. Severe applications
may require additional inspection types and/or frequency. Additionally, valves should be inspected
for general signs of component wear and/or damage caused by process media, i.e. steam cutting.
This may include the removal of insulation and/or other coverings to ensure a proper inspection. All
valves should also be cycled completely during these inspections to ensure proper operability. Care
should be taken to ensure that this will not affect the operating system.
•With the exception of the Wedgeplug, all Pacific valves are designed for operation in clean media.
These media should be free of all debris and particulate matter. Debris in the media may cause
damage and/or reduced performance to the valve.
•The style, size, pressure class and material selection of all valves is the responsibility of the piping
system designer. Pacific Valves may offer suggestions in this area, however the selection process is
solely the responsibility of plant designers. Plant designers should also take into account the specific
effects that the process media will have on the valve wall thickness and corresponding service life
and ensure that the selected material is compatible with the process media. This material selection
should be based on reputable corrosion resistance data and used in conjunction with the valve’s
corrosion allowance in order to maintain the minimum wall thickness. See Table 1 for wall thickness
and corrosion allowance data. It is also the responsibility of the piping designer to ensure that valves
are equipped with any necessary venting and/or draining capabilities.
•Do not exceed 100% of the maximum pressure rating of the valve at any time during its operation.
Pressure spikes beyond the valve’s pressure rating are solely the responsibility of the user.
•When operating any valve stand clear of any moving parts such as the stem and/or disc assembly.
•All manually operated Pacific valves are designed for hand input. Do not apply excessive input
torque via pipe wrenches “cheater bars” or other devices.
•Motor operated valves should be left in their factory set condition, unless the system operating
parameters dictate a change. If changes are necessary, they should be performed in small
increments and then the valve operation inspected. When adjusting these settings, use only the
lightest/lowest setting possible to achieve the desired performance. Excess torque and/or thrust in
the motor settings, may damage or lockup the valve. Never remove a motor operator, gear operator
or manual operating assembly from a valve while it is pressurized. The valve must be completely
relieved of all pressure prior to this disassembly.
•Care should be taken to ensure that electrical motors are wired correctly to the power source.
Incorrect phasing of 3-phase wiring may cause valve/motor damage.
•Motorized Parallel disc gate valves are position seated and should never be torque seated. Do not
use the motor torque settings to seat the valve.
•The operator of any valve should have an understanding of the effects of opening/closing the valve
with regards to its role in the overall piping system. Operators of valves under pressure should take
caution to ensure that the valve is in good operating condition prior to operating it under pressure.
•Certain valve applications take place at elevated temperatures. Care should be taken in these
instances to ensure that an operator does not touch any portion of the valve other than the

5 | P a g e
handwheel. In severe temperature applications (300 degrees F and above , insulation may be
required on the valves to protect operators from the heat.
•Certain processes utilize flammable, caustic and/or otherwise unstable media. Care should be taken
in these circumstances to ensure the operator is aware of the specific health and safety risks
associated with that medium.
•All Pacific valves should be operated within the pressure and temperature ranges listed in Table 2 of
ANSI B16.34. Under no circumstances should the valves be operated at conditions outside these
tables.
•All piping systems should contain independent support mechanisms and should not utilize the valve
as a sole means of support.
•The estimated total lifespan of a Pacific valve when installed within ideal boundary conditions is 20
years.
•All valve actuators shall be sized by referring to the specific relevant valve torque and thrust data
published by Pacific Valves. Generic or standard valve information shall not be used.
•It is the ultimate responsibility of the piping designer to ensure that each valve is sized appropriately
for the given system parameters of pressure, temperature, flow rate, velocity, pressure drop, etc.
Additionally it is the responsibility of the piping designer to ensure that the corresponding actuator
sizing data is correct for the given application.
•Valves other than globes should not be used for throttling applications. Severe damage may occur to
other valve styles. When using globe valves for throttling, do not operate the valve continuously at
less than 10% open.
•All valves shall only be used within their defined boundary conditions. All standard materials of
construction, including bolting are suitable for operation within the boundary conditions listed in
section 8.0 of this document. Care should be taken to ensure that all valves are not operated at
conditions that exceed or deviate from the defined boundary conditions. The boundary conditions
must be adhered to regardless of the piping system status, including but not limited to: Start-up,
hydro-testing, chemical cleaning, system flushing, etc.
•Valves are not suitable to serve as block valves during system hydrostatic pressure tests that
exceed 1.1 times the cold working pressure.
•Care should be taken around all valves as injury or damage may occur from the leakage of hot, high
pressure and/or caustic materials from a gasket and/or packing joint. Additionally, packing and/or
gasket leaks may cause external corrosion damage to the valve.
•When possible, gate valves should be relieved of maximum seating force when left in the closed
position. By relieving this force, it may help prevent damage caused by excessive thermal stem
expansion. Care should be taken however to ensure that the valve is not opened, only that the
torque/thrust has been removed from the stem.
•It is the responsibility of the user/owner of a plant to ensure that all valve operators are ordered to
meet all applicable requirements and specifications.
•Only valves that have been certified as fire safe shall be used in piping systems that may be
exposed to fire.
•Standard graphitic packing is suitable for 500ppm VOC emissions. Consult the factory if lower
emissions are required. Crane Pacific meets API-622 / Method 21 emissions standards.
•When operating manual valves, gloves should be worn to minimize the risk of injury to the hands.
•In situations where manual valves are difficult to operate due to substantial torque requirements, it is
recommended that the valve be supplied with a gear or motor operator.
•All valves should be mounted with the stem vertical and the pipeline horizontal. Check valves may
be installed in vertical pipelines only when the normal flow is in the upward direction. For any other
orientation, please contact the factory.
•Depending upon the specific application, normal lubricants may not be sufficient for higher
temperature applications. In this case, higher temperature lubricants should be used in place of the
standard type.

6 | P a g e
• All valve packing glands should be tightened in an even manner. Care should be taken to ensure
that the packing gland and/or gland flange do not contact the valve stem or stuffing box during
tightening.
1. THEORY OF OPERATION
Gate Valves: Gate valves are designed to close off or open up the flow in a pipeline. The wedge is
designed to completely stop flow and form a tight seal against pressure in either direction. In the
open position, the wedge is completely out of the flow stream. Gate valves are not recommended
for throttling use.
Globe Valves: Globe valves are designed to close off, open up or throttle the flow in a pipeline. The
disc is designed to completely stop flow and form a tight seal with pressure under the disc. In the
10% open position to full open position, globe valves are effective in throttling line pressure.
NOTE: Continuous throttling at less than 10% open may cause excessive vibration, noise, wear and
damage to discs and seats.
Y-Globe Valves: Y-Globe valves are designed to close off, open up or throttle the flow in a pipeline.
The disc is designed to completely stop flow and form a tight seal with pressure under the disc. In
the 10% open position to full open position, globe valves are effective in throttling line pressure.
These valves typically offer better flow characteristics than standard globe valves.
NOTE: Continuous throttling at less than 10% open may cause excessive vibration, noise, wear and
damage to discs and seats.
The Y-Globe is also available in a stop-check configuration. Stop check valves (sometimes called
non-return valves are designed to be opened by the flow of system pressure in one direction and
close automatically when the system flows in the opposite direction. In addition, stop check valves
can throttle the flow in the open direction or close the flow off completely.

Swing Check & ilt Disc Valves: Check valves are designed to open by the system pressure in a
line. The desired direction of flow in the line will open the valve, and any attempt by the flow to
reverse will close the valve completely. The check valve typically does not require any outside force
or signal to operate properly. Check valves allow flow in one direction only
Stop and Lift Check Valves: Lift check valves and stop check valves are designed to be opened by
the flow of system pressure in one direction and close automatically when the system flows in the
opposite direction. Stop check valves (sometimes called non-return valves have the additional
feature of throttling the flow in the open direction or closing the flow off completely.
NOTE: Continuous throttling at less than 10% open may cause excessive vibration, noise, wear and
damage to disc and seat ring.
Pressure Seal Valves: Pressure seal valves use internal line pressure to seal the bonnet joint.
These valves are available in Gate, Globe, Check and Y-Globe configurations.
Parallel Disc Gate Valves: Parallel disc valves utilize a special free-floating disc arrangement to
provide positive shutoff. Unlike standard wedge gates, the parallel disc valve is seated by position
and not input torque. This system uses upstream pressure to affect a positive seal on the
downstream seat; these valves are not for double block and bleed type service.
2. DESCRIPTION
This manual covers all Pacific pressure seal valves. These valves are designed within the limits of
ANSI B16.34. For the operator and mounting top works of these valves, the user is referred to the
applicable appendix in this manual. See Appendix 7 for operation of valves. This manual is for
reference purposes only. Disassembly and maintenance of valves should only be performed by
qualified personnel. Consult Pacific Valves for specific technical support.
For Specific information regarding a particular style of valve, please refer to the corresponding
detailed section.
3. INSTALLATION
When unpacking, care should be exercised in lifting and handling to avoid damage to valves or
injury to personnel. Do not lift any valve by the handwheel or stem. Use lifting lugs or straps around
the valve body. For specific installation information, please refer to Appendix 3 of this manual.
When installing, ensure that all foreign material is removed from the interior of the valve, including
desiccants. Note: Do not remove protective end coverings until immediately prior to valve
installation.
Note: Do not disassemble or modify a Pacific Valve in any way prior to installation. This will void the
factory warranty if it occurs.
When installing weld-end, flex wedge gate or globe valves into the line, it is advisable to have the
valve slightly open to prevent the wedge from becoming "stuck" due to thermal expansion and to
discourage damage to the seating surfaces.
A protective paint has been applied to the weld ends on some valves and it should be removed
before welding.

8 | P a g e
For soft-seated valves, the temperature of the valve body should not exceed 200°F during welding to
avoid damaging the soft seals. Check the temperature of surrounding areas to avoid heating valve
body excessively, especially with small sizes, where a heat sink may be necessary.
Use the smallest electrodes and the minimum amperage possible consistent with approved welding
procedures. This will help to minimize warpage in the seat areas. Tack welds should be ground out
before completing the root pass in that area.
Valves of carbon steel should be allowed to cool slowly. The valve may be covered with a heat-
insulating blanket to promote slow cooling and limit the heat-affected zone. Appropriate industry
standards should be followed for all PWHT.
Certain valve types are designed to function in a single direction (check valves, etc. All markings
should be noted on the valves. Arrows on the valves indicating flow direction should correspond with
the system flow direction.
Note: Ensure that all foreign material (dirt, weld slag, etc. has been removed from the valve prior to
and after installation. Foreign material is the primary cause of premature seat failures.
4. WARRANTY
All Pacific Valves are backed by a full manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials or
workmanship. It should be noted that any work or modification performed on a Pacific Valve must be
authorized by Pacific Valves in order to retain the original factory warranty.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pacific valves are designed for simplicity and ease of operation. To open a gate, globe & stop check
valve. Turn the handwheel in a counterclockwise direction; continue turning until interference is felt;
at this point, the valve will be fully open. To close the valve, turn the handwheel in a clockwise
direction; continue turning until interference is felt; at this point, the valve will be fully closed. Note
that Parallel disc valves are not seated by torque. The disc is position seated and will stop when it
contacts the factory set travel limits. Further tightening will not improve the seal and could lead to
valve damage if excessive torque is applied.
Swing, Lift and tilting disc check valves are designed to be operated by line pressure only. When
the upstream line is pressurized, flow will open the disc. When the pressure is reduced upstream, or
if there is backpressure, the disc will close.
With some larger valves under conditions of high pressure, a rim pull of more than 250 lbs. may be
required to achieve proper seating.
CAU ION! - hese valves were designed to operate within the pressure and temperature
limits of ANSI B16.34. Do not exceed these limits.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. Preventative Maintenance and Periodic Inspection Pacific Valves recommends that periodic
inspections be made of all valves. The frequency of these inspections will vary, depending upon the
severity of service and frequency of operation of the valve. As a minimum, all valves should be
checked quarterly to ensure proper operation and discourage the damage compounding effects of
leakage. The following list details the specific valve types and areas requiring inspection and
maintenance.

Warning! Do not remove or loosen the packing gland or bonnet bolts while the valve is pressurized.
(a The pressure seal draw bolting must be periodically tightened during service to prevent gasket
loosening.
6.2 Maintenance of valve under pressure
If the above listed inspections reveal any indications, the following procedures are recommended:
Note: Extreme care should be taken when working on any pressurized system!
6.2.1 If the stem packing is leaking, the gland nuts on the gland flange should be tightened
uniformly until the leakage stops. If the leakage continues or there is no adjustment remaining,
additional packing must be installed or the packing must be replaced. (See disassembly procedure
for appropriate valve or Packing and Gasket maintenance Appendix 4 It should also be noted that
the valve should be able to operate freely at all times. If the valve cannot operate due to excessive
packing force, the packing has become worn and must be replaced during a system shutdown.
6.2.2 The stem threads that are exposed to atmosphere should be periodically lubricated to reduce
wear, operating torque, and to deter corrosion. Care should be taken to ensure that only the
threaded portion of the stem is lubricated. Pacific Valves does not recommend the practice of

10 | P a g e
lubricating the sealing area of the stem. This practice tends to attract debris and foreign material,
which can lead to stem or stuffing box damage.
6.2.3 The yoke sleeve should be lubricated periodically through the grease fitting to ensure smooth
operation. Lubrication should be inspected and revised at each application. Each installation may
have specific requirements/ specifications regarding lubrication.
CAU ION! Do not overstress the bolting. If leakage continues, the gasket should be
replaced. (See the bolting torque Appendix 1 or the appropriate valve disassembly
procedure)
6.2.4 If normal inspection reveals a binding or galling action of valve operating parts, it is advisable
to dismantle and inspect the valve parts during a system shutdown. Contact Pacific Valves
prior to disassembling any valve.
7. IDENTIFICATION
All Pacific Valves are identified with a metal Tag that is riveted to the valve. This tag is usually found
on the body/bonnet joint area, or on the top plate area near the handwheel.
When performing any work, ordering spare parts, or requesting technical support, please refer to this
tag. The Serial number (6 , Figure number (11 and Stock number (7 are the keys to proper valve
identification.
