Description
The EHD, EHS, and EHT high‐pressure globe valves (figure 1) have metal seats, cage guiding, and push‐down‐to‐close
valve plug action. The EHD and EHT valves use balanced valve plugs.
The EHS valve uses an unbalanced valve plug. To provide a seal between the cage and a balanced valve plug, the EHD
valve plug uses piston rings; the EHT valve plug uses a pressure‐assisted seal ring. A Whisper Trim cage can be used
with an EHD, EHS, or EHT valve plug. A Cavitrol III cage can be used with an EHS or EHT valve plug.
C‐seal trim is available for EHD valves, CL2500, in sizes 4, 6, 6x4, and 8x6.
With C‐seal trim, a balanced valve can achieve high‐temperature, Class V shutoff. Because the C‐seal plug seal is
formed from metal (N07718 nickel alloy) rather than an elastomer, a valve equipped with the C‐seal trim can be

Installation
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 or on the appropriate nameplates. 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.
CAUTION
Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve materials with process media rests solely with the
purchaser and end‐user. The valve configuration and construction materials meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions specified in the customer's order. Because some body/trim material
combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature range capabilities (especially due to differences in
thermal expansion rates), do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office
or Local Business Partner.
CAUTION
If hoisting the valve, use a nylon sling to protect the painted surfaces. Carefully position the sling to prevent damage to the
tubing or any accessories. Use adequately sized hoists and chains or slings to handle the valve and take precautions to
prevent personnel from being injured in case the hoist or rigging slips unexpectedly. Refer to table 6 for valve assembly
weights.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however some
readjustment will be required 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.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect it to ensure that the valve body cavity is free of foreign material.
2. Clean out all pipelines to remove scale, welding slag, and other foreign materials before installing the valve.
Note
If the valve being installed has small internal flow passages, such as with Whisper Trim III or Cavitrol III cages, consideration should
be given to installing an upstream strainer to prevent the lodging of particles in these passages. This is especially important if the
pipeline cannot be thoroughly cleaned or if the flowing medium is not clean.

3. The control valve must be installed with the actuator vertical above the valve body for proper operation. Flow
through the valve must be in the direction indicated by the flow arrow (key 15, figure 18, 19, or 20) on the valve
body.
4. Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. For welding end valve bodies,
completely disassemble the valve removing all trim parts before welding the valve body in the line. For flanged
valve bodies, use suitable gaskets between the valve body flanges and pipeline flanges.

CAUTION
Depending on valve body materials used, post‐weld heat treating might be needed. Post‐weld heat treatment can damage
internal elastomeric, plastic, and metal parts. Shrunk‐fit pieces and threaded connections might loosen.
If post‐weld heat treating is needed, remove all trim parts to avoid any damage to internal elastomeric, plastic, and metal
parts. Contact your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for additional information.
5. Install a three‐valve bypass around the valve if continuous operation is required during maintenance.
6. If the actuator and valve body are shipped separately, refer to the actuator mounting procedure in the appropriate
actuator instruction manual.
7. If the valve was shipped without packing installed in the packing box, install the packing before putting the valve
into service. Refer to instructions given in the Packing Maintenance procedure.
Valves with ENVIRO‐SEAL live‐loaded packing or HIGH‐SEAL Heavy‐Duty live‐loaded packing will not require this initial
re‐adjustment. See the Fisher instruction manuals titled ENVIRO‐SEAL Packing System for Sliding‐Stem Valves
(D101642X012) or HIGH‐SEAL Live‐Loaded Packing System (D101453X012) (as appropriate) for packing instructions.
If you wish to convert your present packing arrangement to ENVIRO‐SEAL packing, refer to the retrofit kits listed in the
parts kit sub‐section near the end of this manual.

Maintenance
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection and maintenance
frequency depends on the severity of service conditions. This section includes instructions for packing lubrication,
packing maintenance, adding packing rings, replacing packing, trim removal, valve plug maintenance, lapping seats,
and trim replacement. All maintenance operations can be performed with the valve in the line.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. 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
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power 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.

WARNING
Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened prior to shipment; however some
readjustment will be required 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.
Packing Lubrication
CAUTION
Do not lubricate graphite packing. Graphite packing is self-lubricated. Additional lubrication may result in slip-stick
movement of the valve.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from fire or explosion, do not lubricate packing used in oxygen
service or in processes with temperatures over 260_C (500_F).
A lubricator or lubricator/isolating valve (figure 2) is recommended for PTFE‐composition packing. The lubricator or
lubricator/isolating valve is installed in place of the pipe plug (key 14, figure 16). It is recommended that a good quality
silicon‐base lubricant be used. To operate the lubricator, simply turn the cap screw clockwise to force lubricant into
the packing box. The lubricator/isolating valve operates the same way except the isolating valve must first be opened
and then closed after lubrication is completed.
Packing Maintenance
If there is undesirable packing leakage in spring‐loaded PTFE V‐ring packing (figure 4), tighten the packing flange nuts
(key 5, figure 16) until the shoulder on the packing follower (key 13, figure 16) contacts the bonnet (key 1, figure 16).
If leakage continues, replace the packing by following the numbered steps presented in the Replacing Packing
procedure.
CAUTION
When tightening packing flange nuts, do not exceed the maximum recommended torque in table 7 or excessive friction
may result, resulting in keeping the valve from stroking fully and not attaining proper seat load.
If there is undesirable packing leakage with other than spring‐loaded PTFE V‐ring packing, first try to limit the leakage
and establish a stem seal by tightening the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 16) to at least the minimum
recommended torque in table 7. However, do not exceed the maximum recommended torque in table 7 or excessive
friction may result. If leakage continues, replace the packing by following the numbered steps presented in the
Replacing Packing procedure.
If the packing is relatively new and tight on the valve plug stem, and if tightening the packing flange nuts does not stop
the leakage, it is possible that the stem is worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. The surface finish of a stem is
critical for making a good packing seal. 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. While replacing the packing according to
the Replacing Packing procedure, inspect the valve plug stem and packing box wall for nicks or scratches.

Replacing Packing
Key numbers referred to in this procedure are shown in figure 16 unless otherwise indicated.
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.
Remove the cap screws in the stem connector, and separate the two halves of the stem connector. Then exhaust all
actuator pressure, if any was applied, and disconnect the actuator supply and any leakoff piping.
2. Remove either the yoke locknut (key 15) or the hex nuts (key 26), and remove the actuator from the bonnet (key 1).
3. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 5) so that the packing is not tight on the valve plug stem (key 4, figure 18, 19,
or 20). Remove any travel indicator disk and stem locknuts from the valve plug stem threads.

CAUTION
When lifting the bonnet (key 1), be sure that the valve plug and stem assembly (keys 3 and 4, figure 18, 19, or 20) remains
on the seat ring (key 6, figure 18, 19, or 20). This avoids damage to the seating surfaces as a result of the assembly dropping
from the bonnet after being lifted part way out. The parts are also easier to handle separately.
Use care to avoid damaging gasket sealing surfaces.
The EHD piston rings (key 8, figure 18) are brittle and in two halves. Avoid damaging the piston rings by dropping or rough
handling.
WARNING
If the cage adheres to the bonnet as the bonnet is lifted, secure the cage to the bonnet so that it will not cause personal
injury or equipment damage should it fall unexpectedly.
4. Unscrew the hex nuts (key 14, figure 18, 19, or 20) and carefully lift the bonnet off the valve stem. If present,
remove the Belleville washers (key 33, figure 17) and flat washers (key 29, figure 18, 19, 17, or 20). If the valve plug
and stem assembly starts to lift with the bonnet, use a brass or lead hammer on the end of the stem and tap it back
down. Set the bonnet on a cardboard or wooden surface to prevent damage to the bonnet gasket surface.
5. Remove the valve plug (key 3, figure 18, 19, or 20), the cage (key 2, figure 18, 19, or 20), and the top and bottom
cage gaskets (key 11, figure 18, 19, or 20).

CAUTION
All residual gasket material must be removed from the cage gasket surfaces. If the gasket surfaces are scored or damaged
during this process, smooth them by hand sanding with 360 grit paper using long, sweeping strokes. Failure to remove all
residual gasket material and/or burrs from the gasket surfaces will result in leakage.
6. Clean all gasket surfaces with a good quality degreaser. Remove all residual tin or silver from all gasket surfaces.
7. Cover the opening in the valve body to protect the gasket surface and to prevent foreign material from getting into
the valve body cavity.
8. Remove the packing flange nuts (key 5), packing flange (key 3), upper wiper (key 12), and packing follower (key 13,
figures 4 and 16). Carefully push out all the remaining packing parts from the valve side of the bonnet using a
