Description
The V150S Slurry Vee‐Ball valve shown in figure 1 mates with CL150 raised face flanges. Rugged construction, highly
wear‐resistant trim materials, and an unrestricted straight through flow path make the design ideal for controlling the
most abrasive of slurries.
A shaft with a choice of drive connections will allow a variety of power operated actuators and valve positioners or
controllers to be used.
The design is particularly effective in minimizing erosive damage to the adjoining pipework, thereby providing greater
operational safety and service life when compared with other valve types.

(D103154X012).
Installation
WARNING
Safe work practices should be followed when handling the valve and actuator.
Some types of ceramic trim, including PSZ, can create a spark under certain conditions when an edge of one ceramic part is
struck against a second ceramic part with enough force. Do not use ceramic trim where the process fluid has volatile or
combustible properties.
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 valve components if the process fluid or the
atmosphere around the valve is flammable. If the valve is installed in a hazardous area, electrically bond the drive shaft to
the valve.
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 either the valve body rating or the mating pipe flange joint rating. To avoid such

injury or damage, provide a relief valve for overpressure 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. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve
materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end‐user. 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 or Local Business Partner.

Maintenance
WARNING
The V‐notch ball closes with a shearing, cutting motion, which could result in personal injury. To avoid injury, keep hands,
tools, and other objects away from the V‐notch ball while stroking the valve.
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 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 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 Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D The valve packing area 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.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Packing Maintenance
1. It is recommended that the valve be removed from the line when replacing packing to allow correct set up of the
actuator after actuator removal.
2. Remove the packing follower nuts and packing follower (keys 18 and 16).
3. Remove the packing parts (see figure 4 and keys 15 and 14) using a purposed designed packing extraction tool to
avoid damaging the packing box bore and shaft surfaces.
4. Install the new packing parts using the sequence shown in figure 4. Fit the packing follower (key 16). Fit nuts (key
18).
5. Tighten the packing nuts to compress the packing to seal for operating conditions. At the same time push the ball
and shroud on the drive end against the valve body inside location face to center the ball. This can be done by using
a lever (wood) against the inside ball lug face and the valve body liner inlet.

Assembly
WARNING
Observe the steps in the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section.
Reference figures 9 and 10.
CAUTION
Trim parts are made from brittle material, handle with care to avoid chipping or breakage.
1. Clean all surfaces of the parts to be used. Ensure all mating surfaces are in good condition and free from scratches
and dents. Replace worn parts. Fit new gaskets (key 13 and 21) and packing (key 15).
2. Position the valve body with flow arrow uppermost.
3. Fit the valve body liner (key 2) into the valve body, aligning cross‐holes with shaft bore axis.
4. Fit the bearings (key 7) through the valve body liner into the valve body.
5. Place bearing shrouds (key 6) over the bearings and through the valve body liner to contact faces in the valve body
bore.
6. Orientate the ball (key 3) so that the lug with the location slot will be on the non‐drive side of the valve body, that is
opposite from the actuator. Place the ball on a wad of rag to rest in the bottom of the valve body with the lugs
uppermost. Fit the drive shaft (key 8) through the bearing on the drive side and into the hexagon hole of the ball,
aligning the holes for the shaft pins. With a splined shaft, the indicator line on the splined shaft end should be on the
ball side to indicate the ball “seat location.” Fit the follower shaft (key 9).
7. Fit the shaft pins (key 10) through the ball and into the shaft using a pin punch (figure 7). Position the pins
approximately centrally about the shaft axis.
8. Next install the packing. Fit the studs (key 17 ), packing box ring (key 14), packing set (key 15), packing follower
(key 16), and nuts (key 18). Adjust the packing tightness for use.
9. Before fitting the flow ring, tap the end of the bearing on the drive end to ensure that the ball/shroud assembly is
hard against the valve body inner recess location on the drive end.
10. Next fit the flow ring.
a. For one piece High Chrome Iron flow ring (key 4), fit into the valve body and valve body liner. Fit the gasket, (key
13) and flow ring retainer (key 5). Secure with retainer screws (key 22) and clips (key 23). Check that the ball
rotates freely.
b. For flow ring with ceramic insert, position the valve body on the valve body liner flange face with the ball secured
and facing upwards. Make sure the flow ring insert type (key 28) and flow ring insert (key 29) are clean and free of
grease and oil. Apply a bead of Loctitet620 around the smaller outside diameter of the ceramic insert and push
the insert into the flow ring. Place shims on the upper ball face (recommended thickness 0.015 inch) and lower
the flow ring assembly into place. Secure with retainer, screws and clips. Push the insert down onto the shims
and allow the adhesive to set.
11. Fit the spring (key 19), gasket (key 21), and plug (key 20).

2. Clean the valve shaft and actuator lever splines to be sure the actuator lever will slide on easily. Only drive the lever
in if absolutely necessary.
3. Carefully wedge the ball solidly against the actuator‐side bearing to center the ball.
4. Keep the wedge in place while installing the lever, if necessary. Remove the wedge after you have clamped the
actuator lever on the valve shaft and have connected the lever to the actuator piston rod or diaphragm rod.
Determining Mounting Position for Spline Shaft/Lever Type
The actuator can be either right or left‐hand mounted, with the actuator on the right or left side when viewed from
upstream (see figure 8).
For right‐hand mounting (standard), the ball will be in the top of the valve body when the valve is open and the shaft is
horizontal. In this position the ball rotates CW to Close.
For left‐hand mounting, the ball will be in the top of the valve body when the valve is open and the shaft is horizontal.
In this position the ball rotates CCW to Close.
