Description
Fisher NPS 12 through 16 and NPS 30 CL150 through CL600 ET and ED control valves are used for either throttling or
on-off control of a wide variety of liquids and gasses.
ET valves with a hanging cage are available for demanding applications in oil and natural gas up to 232_C (450_F). The
hanging cage, with the seat ring threaded into the cage, provides the valve with easymaintenance trim. The seal
between the plug and cage and the seal between the seat ring and body are springloaded PTFE. The springloaded
PTFE seal configuration can provide Class V shutoff per ANSI/FCI 702 and IEC 605344. The temperature range can be
extended to 316_C (600_F) for nonoxidizing service and to 260_C (500_F) for oxidizing service by using PEEK (Poly
Ether Ether Ketone) antiextrusion rings in combination with the springloaded PTFE seals.
ED valves also utilize a hanging cage and a seat ring that is bolted into the body. These valves have metaltometal
seating and two graphite piston rings between the cage and plug. They are used for high temperature applications
between 316_C (600_F) and 593_C (1100_F) with a Class IV standard shutoff. Shutoff can be increased to Class V by
using the Bore seal trim.
To help reduce aerodynamic noise in gas service, Whisper Trim III and WhisperFlo cages are available. Cavitrol III cages
are available to eliminate the effects of liquid cavitation damage and DST, Dirty Service Trim, is available for cavitating
liquid with particulates.

Fisher WhisperFlo trim represents state of the art solutions for applications that demand ultimate aerodynamic noise
attenuation.
Control valves with WhisperFlo cages (figure 2) provide additional aerodynamic noise attenuation in very demanding
vapor or gas applications with high-pressure drops. A WhisperFlo cage with an appropriately sized valve body is
designed to reduce the noise level up to -40 dBA. For special applications, -50 dBA attenuation can be achieved.
Specifications
Typical specifications for these valves are shown in tables 1 and 2. Some of the specifications for a given valve
assembly as it comes from the factory appear on the actuator nameplate if the valve is part of a complete control valve
assembly.
Installation
WARNING
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.
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
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
The valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature, pressure drop,
and controlled fluid conditions. Because some valve body/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and
temperature range capabilities, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson
Process Management sales office.
WARNING
If you are hoisting the valve, use nylon slings to protect the surfaces.
Carefully position the slings to prevent damage to the actuator tubing and any accessories. Also, take care to prevent
people from being injured in case the hoist or rigging slips unexpectedly. Refer to table 6 for valve assembly weights. It is
important to use adequately sized hoists and chains or slings to handle the valve.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and associated equipment for any damage and any foreign material.
2. Make certain that the valve body interior is clean, that pipelines are free of foreign material, and the valve is
oriented so that pipeline flow is in the same direction as the arrow on the side of the valve.
CAUTION
For long service life and more effective operation, the process liquid must be clean. If the valve being installed has a
Whisper Trim, WhisperFlo, or Cavitrol Trim cage with small internal flow passages, impurities or entrained solids in the
process liquid may cause irreparable erosion damage to the seating surfaces and may plug cage holes and passages,
causing cavitation damage. During valve installation or the plant cleaning cycle, install a strainer upstream from the valve
to help free pipelines of foreign material.
3. The control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria. However, the
normal method is with the actuator vertical above the valve. Other positions may result in uneven valve plug and
cage wear and in improper operation. Support the actuator if it is not installed in the vertical position. For more
information, consult your Emerson Process Management sales office.
4. Use accepted piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the line. You can leave internal elastomeric
parts in place when welding. For flanged valves, use a suitable gasket between the valve and pipeline flanges.
CAUTION
Depending on valve body materials used, post weld heat treating might be required. If so, damage to internal elastomeric
and plastic parts, as well as internal metal parts is possible. Shrunk-fit pieces and threaded connections might also loosen. If
post weld heat treating is to be performed, all trim parts should be removed. Contact your Emerson Process Management
sales office for additional information.
5. With a leak-off bonnet construction, remove the 1/4 NPT pipe plugs (key 14, figure 5) from the bonnet to hook up
the leak-off piping.

6. If continuous operation of the plant is required during inspection or maintenance of the valve, install a three-valve
bypass around the control valve assembly.
7. 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 some
readjustment will be required to meet specific service conditions.
If the valve has ENVIRO-SEALtlive-loaded packing or HIGH-SEAL ULF live-loaded packing installed, this initial
re-adjustment will probably not be required. See the Fisher instruction manuals titled ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System for
Sliding-Stem Valves (D101642X012) or HIGH-SEAL ULF Live-Loaded Packing System (D101453X012) (as appropriate)
for packing instructions.
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, trim maintenance, lapping seating surfaces, and valve plug maintenance. All maintenance
operations may be performed with the valve in the line.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
DDo not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
DAlways wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
DDisconnect 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.
DUse 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.
DVent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
DUselock-outprocedurestobesurethattheabovemeasures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
DThe 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.
DCheck with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
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, release all pressure from the actuator, and use lock-out procedures to prevent injury while you work on
the equipment.

Note
Whenever a gasket seal is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, a new gasket should be installed upon reassembly.
This is necessary to ensure a good gasket seal because the used gasket might not seal properly.
Note
If the valve has ENVIRO-SEAL live-loaded packing or HIGH-SEAL ULF live-loaded packing installed, see the Fisher instruction
manuals titled ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System for Sliding-Stem Valves (D101642X012) or HIGH-SEAL ULF Live-Loaded Packing
System (D101453X012) (as appropriate) for packing instructions.
Packing Lubrication
If a lubricator or lubricator/isolating valve (figure 3) is provided for PTFE/composition or other packings that require
lubrication, it will be installed in place of the 1/4 NPT pipe plug (key 14, figure 5). Use a silicon-base lubricant. To
operate the lubricator, turn the cap screw clockwise to force the 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
This procedure does not cover ENVIRO-SEAL or HIGH-SEAL packing; refer to separate manuals for instructions on those
packing types.
Key numbers are shown in figure 4 unless otherwise indicated.
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, figure 5) until the shoulder
is against the bonnet. If leakage cannot be stopped in this manner, proceed to the Replacing Packing section.

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
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, release all pressure from the actuator, and use lock-out procedures to prevent injury while you work on
the equipment.
2. Remove any leak-off piping from the bonnet. Disconnect the stem connector, and then remove the actuator from
the valve by unscrewing the hex nuts (key 26, figure 5).
3. Loosen the packing flange nuts (key 5, figure 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.
CAUTION
Avoid damage to the seating surfaces caused by the valve plug and stem assembly dropping from the bonnet after being
lifted part way out.
When lifting the bonnet (key 1, figure 5), either be sure that the valve plug and stem assembly remains in the valve and on
the seat or, 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.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement of the bonnet, loosen the bonnet by
following the instructions in the next step. 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.
If the cage sticks to the bonnet, proceed carefully with bonnet removal.

Note
The following step also provides additional assurance that the valve body fluid pressure has been relieved.
4. Hex nuts (key 16, figures 7 or 8) attach the bonnet to the valve body. Loosen these nuts or cap screws
approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch). Then loosen the body-to-bonnet gasketed joint by either rocking the bonnet or
prying between the bonnet and valve body. Work the prying tool around the bonnet until the bonnet loosens. If no
fluid leaks from the joint, remove the nuts completely and carefully lift the bonnet (key 1, figure 5).
5. Set the bonnet on a protective surface to prevent damage to the bonnet gasket surface.
6. Whenever the bonnet has been removed, replace the bonnet gasket and the cage gasket (keys 10 and 11, figures 7
and 8). Remove the bonnet gasket.
7. Lift the valve plug and stem assembly out of the valve body and set it on a protective surface. If the valve plug is to
be reused, protect the valve plug seating surface to prevent scratches.
