Installation
The valve is normally shipped as part of a control valve assembly, with the power actuator mounted on the valve. If the
valve or actuator have been purchased separately, or if the actuator has been removed for maintenance, mount the
actuator on the valve, and adjust actuator travel before inserting the valve body into the line. This is necessary due to
the measurements that must be made during the actuator calibration adjustment process. Refer to the Actuator
Mounting section of this manual to mount the actuator on the valve. Refer to the actuator instruction manual for
mounting and adjusting instructions before proceeding.

WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of pressure, do not install the valve
assembly where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual, the limits on the appropriate nameplates,
or the matching pipe flange rating. Use pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes
and good engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
WARNING
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve
materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end-user. To avoid possible personal injury and because
some valve/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not apply any other
conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office.

Valve Orientation
When installing the valve, it is recommended that the valve drive shaft be horizontal as shown in figure 1.
Valve Direction
The high performance butterfly valve is designed to allow flow in either direction when in the open position. When in
the closed position, high pressure should be applied to a specific side of the disk to provide best performance and
optimal valve life (see seal types below). See figure 2.
The PTFE soft seal is bi‐directional under normal operating conditions can (at different times) experience pressure in
both directions; the highest of the two pressures should be exerted on the preferred side of the disk. If the two
pressures are equal, then the one lasting the longest period of time should be applied to the preferred side.
1. For PTFE seal ring: This seal is bidirectional. For optimal performance, high pressure should be applied to the front
(retaining ring side) of the disk.

Installing the Valve in the Pipeline
WARNING
The edges of a rotating disk have a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To help prevent such injury, stay clear
of the disk edges when rotating the disk (key 3, figure 12).
CAUTION
Damage to the disk will occur if any pipe flanges or piping connected to the valve interfere with the disk rotation path. If
the piping flange has a smaller inner diameter than what is specified for schedule 80 piping, measure carefully to be certain
the disk rotates without interference before putting the valve into operation.
CAUTION
Damage to the disk (key 3) sealing surfaces may occur if the disk is not closed when the valve is being installed or removed
from the pipeline. If necessary, use a temporary pressure source on the actuator to retain the disk in the closed position
while installing or removing the valve from the pipeline.
1. For Fail‐Open Actuators: It will be necessary to provide a temporary loading pressure to the actuator diaphragm to
move the valve disk to the closed position. Observe the above Warning when closing the valve. If a loading pressure
is required, use caution when working with the valve. If the loading pressure is disconnected, the disk will open
rapidly.
2. With the disk in the closed position, install line flange gaskets, and install the valve between the pipeline flanges.
Note
The wafer style valves use the standard size spiral wound gaskets.
Select the appropriate gaskets for the application. Gasket types made to ASME 16.5 group or a user's standards can be
used for 8540 valves depending on the service conditions and applications.
3. Install the flange studs:
Note
Lubricate line flange studs or bolts before inserting them into flanges. If necessary, provide additional support for the control valve
assembly because of its combined weight.
D Flange studs: Install two or more line flange studs into the line flanges to help hold the valve in position while
centering the valve. Carefully center the valve on the flanges to ensure disk clearance.

Instruction Manual
D104709X012
8540 Valve

D Select and install two pipe line gaskets.
4. Install the remaining line flange bolting to secure the valve in the pipeline. Tighten the nuts to the line flange studs
in a crisscross pattern to ensure proper alignment of valve, gaskets, and flanges.
Packing Adjustment and Shaft Bonding
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened before shipment; however the packing
might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions. Check with your process or safety engineer for any
additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
CAUTION
Use caution when tightening packing follower nuts because over‐tightening the nuts will accelerate wear and could
produce higher rotating friction loads on the valve stem.
D PTFE packing: tighten standard packing follower nuts only enough to prevent shaft leakage. Excessive tightening of
packing will accelerate wear and could produce higher rotating friction loads on the valve stem. If necessary, refer
to the Packing Maintenance section.
WARNING
The valve drive shaft is not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed. Personal injury or property damage could
result from an explosion caused by a discharge of static electricity from the valve components if the process fluid or the
atmosphere around the valve is flammable. To avoid personal injury or property damage, make sure the valve is grounded
to the pipeline before placing the valve assembly into service.
Standard PTFE packing is composed of a partially conductive carbon‐filled PTFE female adaptor with PTFE V‐ring packing.
Alternate shaft‐to‐valve body bonding is available for hazardous service areas where the standard packing is not sufficient
to bond the shaft to the valve (see the following step).
1. Attach the bonding strap assembly (key 131, figure 5) to the shaft with the clamp (key 130, figure 5), and connect
the other end of the bonding strap assembly to the valve with the cap screw (key 14, figure 5).
2. For more information, refer to the Packing Maintenance subsection below.

Maintenance
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection
and replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions. Instructions are given in this section for replacing
packing, seal ring, disk, shaft, bearings, and other valve parts. Also, instructions are provided for changing valve action,
mounting, and adjusting the actuator. Refer to the actuator instruction manual for additional information for
mounting and adjusting the actuator.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
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
from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the pneumatic 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 The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D It is possible to damage the valve if the actuator travel stops are not properly adjusted before stroking the valve.

CAUTION
During any of the following steps, do not rotate the disk past 90 degrees in the open direction. Rotating the disk past 90
degrees can damage the seal ring.
Packing Maintenance
PTFE‐filled packing has a partially conductive packing ring (such as a carbon‐filled PTFE female adaptor) to electrically
bond the shaft to the valve body.
When replacing the packing, it is recommended to remove the control valve assembly from the pipeline because
valve/actuator adjustments must be made with the valve out of the pipeline.
Disassembly
Key numbers and part locations are shown in figure 12 unless otherwise noted.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body, and drain the
process media from both sides of the valve. If using a power actuator, also shutoff all pressure lines to the power
actuator, release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to be sure the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Note the position of the mark on the end of the valve shaft, and its relationship to the actuator shaft.
3. Remove the actuator per instructions in separate actuator instruction manuals, then remove the cap screws (key
14, figure 5). Remove the clamp if the strap is used.
4. Remove the packing nuts (key 101) and packing follower (key 114). For NPS12 CL300, remove the packing flange
and follower (key 102 and 114).
5. Remove the old packing rings, using a formed hook.
CAUTION
Carefully use the hook. Avoid damaging the drive shaft or packing box wall. Scratches on valve surfaces can cause leakage.
(Note: The packing box ring (key 107) can remain in place when replacing packing only.)
6. Clean all accessible metal parts and surfaces to remove particles that would prevent the packing from sealing.
Assembly
Inspect the shaft: If it is damaged, it cannot make a good seal with the packing, and it must be replaced. If the leakage
comes from the outside diameter of the packing, it is possible that the leakage is caused by nicks or scratches around
the packing box wall. Inspect the packing box wall for nicks and scratches when performing the following procedures.

1. Install the new packing parts (see figure 6). Install the packing follower and finger tighten the packing flange nuts
onto the studs only enough to stop leakage.
2. If the valve was equipped with a bonding strap assembly (figure 5), re‐install the assembly.
3. Refer to the Actuator Mounting section of this manual. If necessary, refer to the separate actuator instruction
manual for adjustment procedures.
4. When the control valve is being placed into operation, check around the packing follower for leakage.
Leakage from the PTFE packing can often be stopped by tightening the packing flange nuts just enough to stop the
leak.
CAUTION
Use caution when tightening the nuts. Overtightening the nuts can damage packing box parts and result in increased drive
shaft friction.
Seal Ring Maintenance
Perform this procedure if the control valve is not shutting‐off properly (if it is leaking downstream). It is recommended,
but not required, to remove the actuator for easier handling of the valve during the following procedures.
WARNING
The edges of a rotating disk close with a shearing effect that may result in personal injury. To help prevent such injury, stay
clear of the disk edges when rotating the disk (key 3).
CAUTION
During any of the following steps, do not rotate the disk past 90 degrees in the open direction. Rotating the disk past 90
degrees can damage the seal ring.

Key numbers are shown in figure 12 unless otherwise noted.
Disassembly
Most maintenance procedures will require the actuator to be removed.
1. Isolate the control valve from line pressure, and relieve pressure from the valve body. Shut off and disconnect all
lines from the power actuator.
2. Be sure the disk is in the closed position before attempting to remove the valve from the pipeline or flanges.
D For Fail‐Open Actuators: It will be necessary to provide a temporary loading pressure to the actuator diaphragm to
move the valve disk to the closed position. Observe the above Warning when closing the valve. If a loading pressure
is required, use caution when working with the valve. If the loading pressure is disconnected, the disk will open
rapidly.
3. With the disk in the closed position, remove line bolting, then remove the control valve assembly from the pipeline.
4. Remove the actuator as described in the Packing Maintenance section.
5. Remove the retainer ring (key 2, figure 8):
D Place the valve on blocks with the seal retainer facing down. (Note: Position blocks so they do not restrict the
retainer ring removal.)
D Rotate the disk to the open position as shown in figure 7.
D Locate one of the knock‐out points machined on the retainer ring. Using a hammer and flat end punch the
knock‐out point, pop out the retainer ring from the valve body.
CAUTION
When popping out the retainer ring, be very careful to hit only the knock‐out points. Hitting anywhere else can cause
non‐repairable damage to the t‐slot area.
D Clean all sealing surfaces and parts before re‐assembly.
6. Remove the seal ring from the valve body seal ring slot. Remove the spring from the PTFE seal ring (key 5) as it may
be necessary to re‐install the spring into the new PTFE seal ring.
7. If it is necessary to replace the disk, drive shaft, and the bearings, refer to that section below before proceeding with
the assembly procedures for the seal ring and retainer. The seal ring could be damaged if it is in place while
removing the disk.
Assembly
Place the valve on blocks with the seal retainer facing up. If the replacement disk, shaft, and bearings have not been
installed in the valve body, go to the proper assembly procedures to install them.
CAUTION
Do not install the seal ring without the disk being in place. The seal ring could be damaged while installing the disk.

b. Rotate the disk to the open position.
c. Lay the retainer ring on the valve body.
d. Use a press, or a soft‐faced hammer to press the retainer ring into its groove in the valve body.
CAUTION
It takes a considerable amount of force with a hammer to drive the retainer ring into place. Be sure not to damage retainer
ring surfaces when installing the ring.
e. The retainer ring is properly seated when the face of the retainer ring is flush with the face of the valve body.
f. To ensure proper seal performance for metal seals, you may need to use the hammer to drive the disk open for
the first few times. When closing the valve, use the C‐clamps discussed in the next few steps.
CAUTION
Do not damage the gasket seating surfaces on either the valve body or the retainer ring when installing or removing the
C‐clamps. Protect the gasket surface by using a soft material between the clamp and valve body/retaining ring serrations
to avoid damage.
g. Use three C‐clamps to hold the retainer in place. Locate one of the C‐clamps near the travel stop in the valve
body, and the other two at 120 degrees from the stop.
h. When cycling the disk for the first three times, use a dead‐blow hammer with a soft head to drive the disk closed.
Also, you may need to use the hammer to drive the disk open for the first few times.

3. Turn the disk into and out of the seal ring several times, to help break in the seal and reduce actuator torque
requirements during adjustment.
4. If replacing the packing, remove all packing parts from the valve body. Upon re‐assembly of the valve, refer to the
Packing Maintenance procedures to replace the packing.
Disk, Drive Shaft, and Bearing Maintenance
This procedure is to be performed when replacing the valve disk, drive shaft, taper pins, hollow pins, and bearings due
to wear or damage to one or more component parts.
Key numbers are shown in figure 12 unless otherwise noted.
Disassembly
1. Isolate control valve from line pressure, relieve pressure and drain process fluid, then remove control valve
assembly from the pipeline as described in Seal Ring Maintenance section.
2. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 101). This allows the drive shaft (key 8) to turn without the friction caused by
the packing.
3. Remove the actuator using the steps provided in the Packing Maintenance section and separate actuator
instruction manuals, and remove the seal ring using the steps provided in the seal ring maintenance procedures
above.
4. Place the valve on a flat working surface with the seal ring slot facing down.
5. Use blocks to raise the valve body high enough to allow the disk to be rotated to the fully open position (see figure
8).
6. Rotate the disk (key 3) to the fully open position.
7. Locate the small ends of the taper pins. Drive the two taper pins (key 10) out towards the larger end of the pins.
(Note: Attempting to drive the taper pins in the opposite direction only tightens the pins.) Also, remove the hollow
pins (key 9) from the disk/shaft connection using the tool shown in figure 11.
Note
Make the tools for removal and installation of the hollow pin shown in figure 11.
8. Unscrew and remove the packing flange nuts (key 101), and the packing flange (key 102).
WARNING
Once the shaft has been removed in the following step, the disk may fall out of the valve body cavity. To avoid personal
injury and property damage, support the disk to prevent it from falling as the shaft is being removed.
9. Pull the shaft out of the valve body, and remove the disk (key 3) from the valve body bore.
10. If the packing is to be replaced, remove all the packing parts from the valve body. Upon re‐assembly of the valve,
refer to the Packing Maintenance procedures to replace the packing parts.
11. Remove both of the bearings (key 6) from the valve body.
12. Clean all the sealing surfaces and parts, and inspect and/or obtain replacements before assembly.

Actuator Mounting
Re‐install the seal ring and packing rings using the appropriate procedures before installing the actuator on the valve.
Mount the actuator on the valve body in accordance with the instructions in the actuator instruction manual and this
section.
In the Packing Maintenance steps, you should have noted the position of the mark on the end of the valve shaft, and its
relationship to the actuator shaft. If not, determine the configuration needed to match your application.
Be certain that the disk is rotating counterclockwise to open when viewed from the actuator side of the valve, and that
the disk is not rotated beyond its limits.
1. Orientate the valve drive shaft correctly to match the actuator or handlever position, and install it into the actuator
and actuator lever arm until the mounting pads mate with each other.
2. Tighten the actuator‐mounting cap screws to the appropriate bolt torque from table 8.
CAUTION
The valve disk stop, in the valve body bore is not to be used as a power actuator travel stop (see figure 10). Use the actuator
travel stops to limit the rotation of the valve disk. It is possible to damage the valve component parts if full actuator thrust
is applied to the valve disk stop.
For actuators with an adjustable travel stop, the travel stop must be adjusted so that the valve is closed (determined by
measuring as shown in figure 7) when the diaphragm or piston is against the actuator at the travel stop.
For manually operated actuators or actuators without adjustable linkage, make certain that the travel of the actuator stops
before the disk rotates past the closed position.

Note
To obtain proper shutoff, the closed position of the 8540 valves must be set with the disk parallel to the retaining ring. Do not use
the disk stop to set the actuator travel stops.
3. Adjust the actuator travel stop to limit the open and closed positions of the valve disk. (If necessary, refer to the
actuator instruction manual for more information about adjustments.) Do not use the disk stop as a actuator travel
stop as discussed in the Caution above.
4. For actuators with adjustable turnbuckles, adjust the turnbuckle to bring the disk to the fully closed position at the
end of the actuator stroke. If necessary, refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for assistance.
5. If using a manual handwheel or handlever actuator, refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for
mounting positions and adjustments.
6. To determine the fully closed disk position (zero degrees of disk rotation), measure the distances between the
positions on the disk face as shown in figure 8. Use the actuator to rotate the disk while re‐checking the two
measurements. Repeat adjustment until the two measurements are equal.
Parts Ordering
When corresponding with your Emerson sales office about this equipment, always mention the valve serial number.
WARNING
Use only genuine Fisher replacement parts. Components that are not supplied by Emerson should not, under any
circumstances, be used in any Fisher valve, because they may void your warranty, might adversely affect the performance
of the valve, and could cause personal injury and property damage.
