Installation
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 actuator supply pressure, and use lockout procedures to be sure
that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment. Refer to the Warnings at the beginning of the
Maintenance section for additional information.
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed
where service conditions could exceed the limits given in table 1 or on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or
damage, provide a relief valve for over‐pressure protection 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
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Since some valve body/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 or Local Business Partner.
Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and pipelines for any damage and any foreign material which may cause
product damage.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and associated equipment for any damage and any foreign material.
2. Make certain the valve body interior is clean, that pipelines are free of foreign material, and that the valve is
oriented so that pipeline flow is in the same direction as the arrow on the side of the valve.
3. Gas Service: The normal method of mounting for gas service is with the actuator vertical above the valve body.
However, the control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria. Other
positions may result in uneven valve plug and cage wear that could result in improper operation. For mounting
assistance, consult your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner.
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the packing, do not allow the installed actuator angle to be so flat as to allow liquid inside the
bonnet to come in contact with the packing.
Also, if insulation is applied, do not let the insulation run up the extension bonnet. This could cause the packing to freeze
and be damaged.
Liquid Service: The preferred method of mounting for liquid service is with the actuator vertical above the valve body.
This will allow a vapor layer to form between the liquid and the packing. If there are piping constraints, the actuator
can be angled slightly from vertical. However, in no case should the angle be so flat as to allow liquid inside the bonnet
to come in contact with the packing. For mounting assistance, consult your Emerson sales office or Local Business
Partner.
4. If insulation is applied, make sure it is applied only to the body/bonnet joint. Do not let the insulation run up the
extension bonnet.
5. Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. For flanged valve bodies, use a
suitable gasket between the valve body and pipeline flanges.
6. If the actuator and valve are shipped separately, refer to the actuator mounting procedure in the appropriate
actuator instruction manual.
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.
Valves with ENVIRO‐SEAL™live‐loaded packing will not require this initial readjustment. See the Fisher instruction
manual titled ENVIRO‐SEAL Packing System for Sliding‐Stem Valves 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 maintenance
and trim maintenance. All maintenance operations may be performed with the valve in the line.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage 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
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.
CAUTION
Follow instructions carefully to avoid damaging the product surfaces, which could result in damage to the product.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting parts, a new gasket should be installed upon reassembly. This is
necessary to ensure a good gasket seal since the used gasket may not seal properly.

Packing Maintenance
This section covers PTFE V‐ring, double PTFE, and graphite packing used in extension bonnets (figures 2, 3, and 4).
Note
If the valve has ENVIRO‐SEAL live‐loaded packing installed, refer to the instruction manual ENVIRO‐SEAL Packing System for Sliding
Stem Valves for packing instructions. Figure 6 shows typical ENVIRO‐SEAL arrangements.
Standard packing key numbers are shown in figures 2, 3, and 4. ENVIRO‐SEAL packing key numbers are shown in
figure 6. Bonnet key number locations are shown in figure 7, and valve key numbers are shown in figures 8 and 9.
For spring‐loaded single PTFE V‐ring packing, the spring (key 8) maintains a sealing force on the packing. If leakage is
noted around the packing follower (key 13), check to be sure the shoulder on the packing follower is touching the
bonnet. If the shoulder is not touching the bonnet, tighten the packing flange nuts (key 5), until the shoulder is against
the bonnet. If leakage cannot be stopped in this manner, proceed with replacing packing procedures.
If there is undesirable packing leakage with other than spring‐loaded packing, first try to limit the leakage and
establish a stem seal by tightening the packing flange nuts.
If the packing is relatively new and tight on the stem, and if tightening the packing flange nuts does not stop the
leakage, it is possible that the valve stem is worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. The surface finish of a new
valve 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. If performing any of the
following procedures, inspect the valve stem and packing box wall for nicks and scratches.
Replacing Packing
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
Key numbers and sequence of assembly of packing parts are shown in figures 2, 3, and 4. Bonnet key number locations
are shown in figure 7, and valve key number locations are shown in figures 8 and 9, 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 shut off all pressure lines to the power
actuator, and release all pressure from the actuator. Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures
stay in effect while you work on the equipment. Observe the Warnings at the start of the Maintenance section.
2. Disconnect the operating lines from the actuator and any leak‐off piping from the bonnet. Disconnect the stem
connector and remove the actuator from the valve by unscrewing the yoke locknut (key 15) or hex nuts (key 26, not
shown).
3. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 5) so that the packing is not tight on the valve stem. Remove any travel
indicator parts and stem locknuts from the valve stem threads.
WARNING
D To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of the bonnet, loosen the bonnet by
following the instructions in the next steps.

Instruction Manual

Do not remove a stuck bonnet by pulling on it with equipment that can stretch or store energy in any other manner. The
sudden release of stored energy can cause uncontrolled movement of the bonnet.
D To avoid personal injury or damage to the seating surface caused by the valve plug and stem assembly dropping from
the bonnet after being lifted out of the valve body, observe the following instructions.
4. When lifting an EZ‐C bonnet, temporarily install a valve stem locknut on the valve stem. This locknut will prevent
the valve plug and stem assembly from dropping out of the bonnet.
5. When lifting an ET‐C or EWT‐C bonnet, be sure the plug and stem assembly and cage remain in the valve body.
WARNING
To avoid possible personal injury, review your process shutdown procedures to be sure process pressure is not applied to
the valve for the following procedure.
6. Hex nuts (key 16) attach the bonnet to the valve body (key 1). Loosen these nuts or cap screws approximately 3 mm
(1/8 inch). Then, loosen the body‐to‐bonnet joint by either rocking the bonnet or prying between the bonnet and
valve body. Work with a prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens.

D If fluid leaks from the joint, it may indicate that process pressure is applied to the valve. Review your process
shutdown procedures, and be sure process pressure is not applied to the valve.
D If no fluid leaks from the joint, remove the nuts completely and carefully lift the bonnet off the valve body.
7. For EZ‐C valves, remove the stem locknut. Separate the valve plug and stem from the bonnet, and set the parts on a
protective surface to prevent damage to gasket or seating surfaces.
8. For ET‐C and EWT‐C: If it is necessary to remove and inspect the valve trim, refer to the following Trim Maintenance
section.
9. Remove the bonnet gasket (key 10) and cover the opening in the valve to protect the gasket surface and prevent
foreign material from getting into the valve body cavity.
10. Remove the packing flange nuts, packing flange, upper wiper, and packing follower (keys 5, 3, 12, and 13).
Carefully push out all the remaining packing parts from the valve side of the bonnet using a rounded rod or other
tool that will not scratch the packing box wall. Clean the packing box and metal packing parts.
11. Inspect the valve stem threads and packing box surfaces for any sharp edges which might cut the packing.
Scratches or burrs in the packing box surfaces could cause leakage or damage to the new packing. If the surface
condition cannot be improved by light sanding, replace the damaged parts.
12. If necessary, go to the Trim Maintenance procedures to remove, inspect or replace trim parts. Return to this
section when installing the bonnet on the valve body.
Installing the Bonnet
13. Remove the covering protecting the valve body cavity and install a new bonnet gasket (key 10), making sure the
gasket seating surfaces are clean and smooth. Then slide the bonnet over the stem and onto the stud bolts (key 15).
Note
Proper performance of the bolting procedures in step 10 compresses the spiral wound gasket (key 12) or load ring (key 26) to both
load and seal the seat ring gasket (key 13). It also compresses the outer edge of the bonnet gasket (key 10) to seal the
body‐to‐bonnet joint.
The proper bolting procedures in step 14 include, but are not limited to, ensuring that bolting threads are clean and evenly
tightening the cap screws or nuts onto the studs in a crisscross pattern. Tightening one cap screw or nut may loosen an adjacent
cap screw or nut. Repeat the crisscross tightening pattern several times until each cap screw or nut is tight and the body‐to‐bonnet
seal is made.
Note
Stud(s) and nut(s) should be installed such that the manufacturer's trademark and material grade marking is visible, allowing easy
comparison to the materials selected and documented in the Emerson/Fisher serial card provided with this product.
WARNING
Personal injury or damage to equipment could occur if improper stud and nut materials or parts are used. Do not operate or
assemble this product with stud(s) and nut(s) that are not approved by Emerson/Fisher engineering and/or listed on the
serial card provided with this product. Use of unapproved materials and parts could lead to stresses exceeding the design
or code limits intended for this particular service. Install studs with the material grade and manufacturer's identification
mark visible. Contact your Emerson representative immediately if a discrepancy between actual parts and approved parts
is suspected.

14. Lubricate the bolting with anti‐seize lubricant and install it, using accepted bolting procedures during tightening,
so that the body‐to‐bonnet joint will withstand test pressures and application service conditions. Use the bolt
torques in table 4 as guidelines.
15. Install new packing and the metal packing box parts according to the appropriate arrangement in figures 2, 3, or 4.
Place a smooth‐edged pipe over the valve stem and gently tap each soft packing part into the packing box.
16. Slide the packing follower, upper wiper, and packing flange (keys 12, 13, and 3) into position. Lubricate the
packing flange studs (key 4) and faces of the packing flange nuts (key 5). Install the packing flange nuts.
17. Tightening packing flange nuts (key 5):
a. For spring‐loaded PTFE V‐ring packing, tighten the packing flange nuts until the shoulder on the packing follower
(key 13) contacts the bonnet.
b. For graphite packing, tighten the packing flange nuts to the maximum recommended torque shown in table 3.
Then, loosen the packing flange nuts, and retighten them to the recommended minimum torque shown in
table 3.
c. For double PTFE V‐ring packing, tighten the packing flange nuts alternately in small equal increments until one of
the nuts reaches the minimum recommended torque shown in table 3. Then, tighten the remaining nut until the
packing flange is level and at a 90 degree angle to the valve stem.
d. For ENVIRO‐SEAL live‐loaded packing, refer to the Fisher instruction manual titled: ENVIRO‐SEAL Packing System
for Sliding‐Stem Valves.
18. Mount the actuator on the valve assembly and reconnect the actuator and valve stem according to the procedure
in the appropriate actuator instruction manual.
Trim Maintenance
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
This procedure describes how the valve trim can be completely disassembled. When inspection or repairs are required,
perform only those steps necessary to accomplish the task. Observe the Warning at the start of the Maintenance
section.
Key number locations are shown in figures 8 and 9, unless otherwise noted.
EZ‐C Trim Disassembly
Key number locations are shown in figure 8, unless otherwise noted.
1. Remove the actuator and the bonnet according to steps 1 through 9 of the Replacing Packing procedures in the
Maintenance section.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury due to leaking fluids, avoid damaging gasket sealing surfaces.
The surface finish of the valve stem (key 7) is critical for making a good packing seal.
The seating surfaces of the valve plug (key 2) and seat ring (key 9) are critical for proper shutoff.
Protect these surfaces accordingly.
