Instructions EM36005 – 07/10
36005 Series V-Max® Control Ball Valve
2.0 Installation
2.1 General
2.1.1 Unpack valve carefully to avoid damage to valve,
accessories, or tubing.
2.1.2 Record all valve and accessory serial plate data
for future reference. Always provide serial and model
numbers when ordering spare parts.
2.2 Pipeline Mounting
Do not remove button head screw (9) and washer (10)
during installation. The function of these parts is to hold
the retainer (3) and seal ring (8) in place and should be
removed only when the valve is to be disassembled for
maintenance (Figure 2).
A. Before installing the valve in the line, clean pipe and
valve of all foreign materials such as welding chips,
scale, oil, grease or dirt. Gasket surfaces must be
thoroughly cleaned to ensure leak free joints.
B. Install valve in a horizontal or vertical line with the flow
tending to push the seal ring (8) against the ball (2)
as indicated by the flow arrow cast into the body. It is
recommended that if adjacent walls and piping permit,
the valve be oriented such that the ball opens upward.
This is especially important when handling slurries.
See Figure 1 for actuator mounting positions and for
flow direction and Table 5 for line flange bolting lengths.
Note: Flange bolt lengths are non-standard on inlet and
standard on outlet side.
C. Tighten bolting evenly and in crisscross fashion so that
the retainer (3) held in place by the line flange will bear
evenly against the seal ring (8).
D. The linkage of the 36005 V-Max valve has been properly
adjusted at the factory and requires no further adjustment.
E. Where insulation of the valve body is required, do not
insulate the valve bonnet. See Figure 17.
2.3 Air Piping
2.3.1 Air piping must be adequately sized to provide the
regulated supply pressure specified on the nameplate.
As a general guideline, use 1/4" O.D. tubing or
equivalent for all air lines. If supply air line exceeds 25
feet in length, use 3/8" O.D. tubing.
2.3.2 The actuator is furnished with a 1/4" NPT instrument
air port on the upper case.
Do not exceed loading pressure specified on the valve
nameplate.
2.4 Changing Actuator Position
2.4.1 Model 33, sizes B & C. For Size AC, refer to
section 2.4.2.
Before proceeding with changing actuator position, air
action or valve maintenance, isolate valve, vent process
pressure and shut off air supply and signal air lines or
electrical lines to unit. It is recommended that the valve
be removed from the pipeline prior to maintenance work.
Keep hands and tools away from the segmental ball,
particularly when disconnecting the actuator stem from
shaft arm as ball may rotate freely to its lowest position
For each valve action (air to open/air to close) the actuator
may be positioned to either side of the pipe. Actuator
position is usually determined by adjacent piping,
obstacles of various types or air piping arrangements.
To reposition the actuator and/or bracket follow the
disassembly and reassembly instructions below.
Note: Actuator positioning should be performed prior to
installing the valve in the pipeline. To change actuator
position and/or valve action refer to Figure 1 for desired
position.
