Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual provides installation, operation, maintenance, and parts information for the Fisher V280
Full-Bore Ball control valve (see figure 1). Refer to separate manuals for information concerning the actuator,
positioner, and accessories.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a V280 valve without being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and
accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important to
carefully read, understand, and follow all the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you
have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson sales office before proceeding.
Description
The Fisher V280 is a three-piece, trunnion mounted, full-bore control valve designed with features for optimized
pressure, flow, and process control. The V280 comes standard as a single-seal construction with optional dual-seal
construction allowing for bidirectional flow and double block-and-bleed operation, with or without attenuation. Valve
constructions with attenuators combine the efficiency of a rotary valve with the noise reducing capability of a special
trim. Valve constructions without attenuators present little or no restriction to flow at full travel. The V280
construction meets ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 as standard.

Installation
WARNING
D To avoid personal injury, always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation
operations.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the bursting of pressure retaining parts, be certain the
service conditions do not exceed the limits given in this manual.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage that can result from the sudden release of process pressure if valve or
mating pipe flange pressure ratings are exceeded, provide a relief valve for over‐pressure protection as required by
government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
D Service conditions are limited for valve and trim material combinations. Do not apply any other service conditions to the
valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office.
D Personal injury could result from packing leakage. See the Packing Maintenance section for adjustment information.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
D Use proper lifting and rigging practices while moving the valve or valve/actuator assembly.
Key number locations are shown in figure 4 unless otherwise noted. Throughout this manual, the component key
number will be identified for clarity.
1. Install a three‐valve bypass around the control valve assembly if continuous operation will be necessary during
inspection and maintenance of the valve.
2. The valve is normally shipped as part of a control valve assembly, with a factory adjusted actuator mounted on the
valve. If the valve or actuator has been purchased separately, or if the actuator has been removed, refer to the
Actuator Mounting section and the appropriate actuator instruction manual for installation and adjustment
procedures.
3. The standard valve construction allows uni-directional flow. If possible, install the valve in a horizontal pipeline with
the drive shaft (key 20) horizontal. The actuator can be right- or left-hand mounted in any of the positions shown in
the actuator instruction manual.
CAUTION
Be certain the valve and adjacent pipelines are free of any foreign material that could damage the valve sealing surfaces.
Impurities or entrained solids in the process fluid could plug the passages in the trim. If the process fluid is not clean, install
a filter upstream to keep the pipeline free of impurities or entrained solids.
4. Provide appropriate flange gaskets, and place the valve in the pipeline. Tighten flange bolting in a star pattern to
ensure the flange gaskets are compressed evenly.
Note
Standard Fisher V280 valve packings (key 105) are composed of:
D Conductive packing ring (graphite ribbon packing), or

Instruction Manual
D104425X012
V280 Valve

5
D Partially conductive packing rings (for example: a carbon-filled PTFE female adaptor with PTFE V-ring packing or a
graphite-composition packing ring with a PTFE/composition packing ring).
To electrically bond the drive shaft to the valve body for hazardous area service, an alternate shaft-to-body bonding strap can be
provided by using the follow step (see figure 2).
5. For hazardous area applications where redundant shaft-to-body grounding is preferred, attach the optional
bonding strap assembly (key 117) to the valve drive shaft (key 20) with the clamp (key 116) and connect the other
end of the bonding strap assembly to the valve body with the mounting cap screw (key 25) as shown in figure 2.

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.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or equipment damage from sudden release of process pressure or uncontrolled movement of parts.
Before performing any maintenance operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Do not loosen any pressure retaining bolting while the valve is still pressurized. This includes the body-to-tailpiece nuts
(key 18), packing box housing nuts (key 21), packing nuts (key 101) or pipe plug (keys 26).
D Avoid injury by keeping hands, tools, and other objects away from the ball while stroking the valve.
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. Check that the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure, relieve any process
pressure from both sides of the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the valve.

Instruction Manual
D104425X012
V280 Valve

D Dual‐seal constructions can retain pressure and process fluid even after process pressure has been removed from both
sides of the valve. The ball should be partially opened to relieve this pressure before disassembling or removing the
valve from the line. Take additional care if the process fluid is hot, flammable, caustic, or hazardous.
D A tip over hazard exists for the valve/actuator assembly. Ensure the valve/actuator assembly is properly secured and
always supported to prevent falling or rolling which may cause injury or property damage.
D Use lock-out/tag-out best practices and procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on
the equipment.
D The valve packing box housing 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
Refer to figure 3 for details of the standard PTFE V-ring packing (left) and the ENVIRO-SEAL packing system (right). All
maintenance operations in this section may be performed on an unpressurized valve that is still installed inline.
Note
For additional information on the ENVIRO-SEAL packing system refer to the ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System Instruction Manual
(D101643X012).
Stopping Leakage
For standard PTFE V-ring packing, leakage around the packing follower may be stopped by tightening the packing
follower nuts. If the packing is relatively new and tight on the drive shaft, and if tightening the packing follower nuts
does not stop the leakage, the drive shaft may be worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. If the leakage comes
from the outside diameter of the packing, the leakage may be caused by nicks or scratches on the packing box housing
packing gland bore.
For ENVIRO-SEAL packing, optimal performance is obtained when the Belleville springs are compressed to the required
target load. The target load is the point where the springs are compressed to 85% of their maximum deflection.
Under normal conditions, the packing nuts should not require re‐tightening. However, when servicing, if the springs
do not remain at the target load of 85% compression, retighten the packing nuts (key 101) per the following:
1. Tighten the packing flange nuts (key 101) alternately and evenly, keeping the packing flange parallel with the valve
flange (see figure 3), until the Belleville springs are compressed 100% (or completely flat).
a. For PTFE packing, loosen each packing flange nut one half turn (180°of rotation).
2. The target load of 85% compression has now been reached. If leakage continues, replace the packing components
and inspect the packing box housing, packing gland bore, and valve drive shaft for damage as described in the
following procedures.
Replacing Packing
Replacing the packing requires bleeding off the system and removing the actuator from the valve. Valve/actuator
adjustments cannot be made correctly without observing the fully open or closed position of the valve ball (key 3). It is
not necessary to remove the valve from the pipeline to make adjustments if care is taken to note the position and
alignment of the actuator lever and valve shaft and to not disturb the actuator turnbuckle position.

Packing Disassembly
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, shut off all pressure lines (or other power
source) to the power actuator, release pressure from the actuator, and disconnect the pressure lines from the
actuator. Use lockout/tagout procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while disassembling the
equipment.
WARNING
D See the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section for more information before removing the valve from
the pipeline.
D Use proper lifting and rigging practices while moving the valve or valve/actuator assembly.
2. Remove line bolting, remove the control valve from the pipeline, and place the actuator/valve assembly on a flat
surface.
3. To assist with future reassembly, note and mark the orientation of the actuator with respect to the valve body and
the actuator lever orientation with respect to the valve drive shaft.
4. Refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for information on removal.
CAUTION
When removing the actuator from the valve, do not use a hammer or similar tool to drive the lever or actuator off the valve
drive shaft (key 20). Driving the lever or actuator off the valve drive shaft could damage the ball, seals, and valve.

If necessary, use a wheel puller to remove the lever or actuator from the valve drive shaft. Tap the wheel puller screw
lightly to loosen the lever or actuator. Do not hit the screw with excessive force. Using excessive force could damage the
ball, seal, and valve.
5. Loosen the actuator lever locking device cap screw. Loosening the lever turnbuckle adjustment is not necessary
during disassembly. When remounting the actuator, the turnbuckle will be used for actuator adjustments.
6. Remove the actuator mounting screws, bolts, or nuts while properly supporting the actuator and separate the
actuator and mounting bracket from the valve.
7. Slide the lever along the valve drive shaft (key 20) while removing the actuator from the valve.
8. If necessary, remove the bonding strap assembly, shown in figure 2 from the valve before removing the packing
parts.
9. Remove the packing follower nuts, packing flange, spring pack (only applicable to ENVIRO-SEAL), and packing
follower (keys 101, 102, and 114).
10. Remove the packing parts:
a. If the packing box housing (key 6) is mounted on the valve: Use a formed wire hook with a sharp end to pierce
the packing rings, and pull the rings out of the packing box housing. Do not scratch the drive shaft or packing
gland bore. Scratching these surfaces could cause leakage. Clean, inspect, and obtain replacement parts as
necessary for reassembly. Examine the drive shaft and packing gland bore for any signs of damage that may
prevent proper sealing.
b. If the packing box housing is separated from the valve (refer to Seal Ring Maintenance section of this manual for
disassembly instructions): Remove the drive shaft (key 20) from the packing box housing. With the drive shaft
removed, remove all internal packing parts. Clean, inspect, and obtain replacement parts as necessary for
reassembly. Examine the drive shaft and packing gland bore for any signs of damage that may prevent proper
sealing.
Note
Verify that the grounding ball is installed in the drive shaft-to-ball tang interface to guarantee electrical continuity between ball
trim and valve drive shaft.
The packing sets (key 105) listed in the parts list do not include any metal parts. Either clean and reuse metal packing
parts or obtain replacements by ordering them individually.
Packing Assembly
For additional information on the ENVIRO-SEAL packing system refer to the ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System Instruction
Manual (D101643X012).
If the packing housing box (key 6) is removed from the valve, use the valve assembly steps to reinstall the drive shaft
(key 4) and packing box housing assembly on the valve. (Refer to Seal Ring Maintenance section of this manual for
additional assembly instructions).
1. Place the new packing components over the valve drive shaft (key 20) and slide each into the packing box housing
until properly seated at the bottom of the packing gland bore. Use the parts sequence shown in figure 3 and verify
the correct configuration.
2. For standard packing arrangements, secure the packing follower and packing flange with packing nuts (keys 114,
102, and 101). Tighten the packing flange nuts alternately and evenly until leakage has stopped during operating

figure 3).
3. If necessary, install the bonding strap assembly (keys 116 and 117) shown in figure 2.
4. Use the steps provided in the Actuator Mounting section to install the actuator on the valve. For actuator travel
adjustments, refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual.
5. When the control valve is in operation, carefully examine the packing follower region for any signs of leakage.
Seal Ring Maintenance
WARNING
D See the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section for more information before removing the valve from
the pipeline.
D Use proper lifting and rigging practices while moving the valve or valve/actuator assembly.
Valve Disassembly
Refer to figure 4 to identify the V280 valve components by key number.
Disassemble the valve only to the extent necessary to accomplish the needed inspection and repairs. For some repairs
complete disassembly of the valve is not necessary. Follow the disassembly procedures to the point necessary to
accomplish the repair, then skip to the appropriate assembly steps to complete the reassembly of the valve. Always
clean and protect sealing surfaces from damage.
Note
It is not necessary to remove the base bracket for maintenance.
Mark parts as necessary to allow them to be returned to the same position and orientation as removed. The tailpiece,
for instance, shall be returned to the same end of the valve from which it was removed. The seal assembly shall also be
returned to the same tailpiece and in the same orientation from which it was removed.
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, shut off all pressure lines to the power
actuator, release pressure from the actuator, and disconnect the pressure lines from the actuator. Use
lockout/tagout procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while working on the equipment.
2. Remove line bolting, remove the control valve from the pipeline, and clean all valve surfaces. Place the
actuator/valve assembly on a flat working surface.
3. Mark parts as necessary to allow them to be returned to the same position during reassembly.
4. Refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for information on removal. Loosen the actuator mounting
screws, bolts, or nuts while properly supporting the actuator then separate the actuator and mounting bracket
from the valve. When valve maintenance is complete, refer to the Mounting Actuator procedure in this manual to
reinstall the actuator on the valve.

5. Provide a clean soft working surface to protect the tailpiece‐flange serrated surface. Lift the valve and place it on
either tailpiece flange face. Be sure the valve is in a stable, upright position before releasing the hoist connection.
Note
If the packing (key 105) is in good condition, it is possible to remove and replace the seal assembly (key 5) without removing the
packing box housing assembly. However, the packing box housing assembly must be removed to remove the ball (key 3) from the
valve body.
6. Remove the packing box housing nuts (key 21).
7. Remove the packing box housing assembly from the valve. The assembly includes the drive shaft (key 20), O-ring
and back-up ring (keys 13 and 16), shaft bearing (key 7), shaft thrust washer (key 11), and all packing parts.
Note
Verify that the grounding ball is installed in the drive shaft-to-ball tang interface to guarantee electrical continuity between ball
(key 3) and valve drive shaft (key 20).
8. If it is desired to separate the packing box assembly parts, loosen or remove the packing components and slide the
shaft down and out the valve side of the packing box housing. Inspect the drive shaft bushing (key 7) and the thrust
washer (key 11). If necessary, replace worn components.
9. Remove the valve body nuts (key 18) from the studs (key 4) on the upper tailpiece and remove the tailpiece (key 2)
from the valve body (key 1).
CAUTION
While lifting the tailpiece (key 2) with seal (key 5) from the valve body (key 1), check to see if the seal (key 5) is lifting with
the tailpiece. If so, use caution in case the seal falls out and protect the ball and the body sealing surfaces. An additional
strap can be employed to ensure the seal is captured in the event it disengages from the tailpiece.
If the valve assembly is resting on the base bracket during disassembly, secure the valve when removing the tailpieces from
the body to prevent tipping.
10. Turn the tailpiece assembly over so the seal is facing up and place it on a clean soft surface to protect the flange
serrated surface.
11. Remove the seal (key 5) from the tailpiece by using the 1/4-20 UNC jack bolt tappings on the seal flange. This will
aid with disengaging the O-ring from the tailpiece seal gland. Be sure to not use any tools that could cause damage
to the sealing surface. Note the configuration of the seal O-ring (key 14) and back-up ring (key 15) and the wave
spring (key 17). Ensure the bearing plate (key 8) dowel pins (key 23) are accounted for.
12. If the tailpiece has an attenuator dome (key 24), place a flat head screw driver in the removal notch on the retaining
ring (key 28) and pry the retaining ring out of the groove. Once the removal notch end of the retaining ring is out of
the groove, pull up on the removal notch end to unseat the retaining ring from the groove. Be sure not to scratch
the O-ring sealing surface while performing this operation. Clean and protect all sealing surfaces.
WARNING
When lifting the ball, ensure the bearing plates (key 8) are secure on the ball trunnions to prevent parts from falling which
may cause personal injury or property damage.
