and/or other countries. All other brand names, product names, or trademarks belong to their respective holders.
1. General
Suggested installation orientation is with valve shaft horizontal or inclined from vertical. Unless
otherwise recommended by Emerson, mount the valve in the preferred direction with the directional
arrow pointing to the lower pressure side so that the front face of the disc will be upstream when
the valve is in the closed position. Thermal insulation of the body is mandatory for operating
temperatures above 200°C [392°F]. The Keystone marine high performance butterfly valve offers
the following body styles: Series V30 for wafer style and Series V32 for lug style.
2. Inspection
2.1 Carefully remove the valve from the shipping package (box or pallet) to avoid any damage
to the valve and, in the case of automated valves, to the electric or pneumatic/hydraulic
actuator or instrumentation.
2.2 Prior to installation, clean the inside of the valve. Insure that there are no solid objects such
as pieces of wood, plastic or packing materials within the valve or on the valve seat.
2.3 Inspect the seat and disc edge to insure that they were not damaged in handling. This is
especially important in the case of valves with ‘fail- open’ actuators.
2.4 Confirm that the materials of construction listed on the valve body are appropriate for the
service intended and are as specified.
2.5 Locate the directional arrow on the valve name plate that defines the preferred mounting
orientation in respect to the pressure. In most cases, the valve is properly installed when
the actual fluid flow or high pressure is acting on the front face of the disc when the valve is
closed.
2.6 Ensure that the packing seal cover screws are tight.

Series V30 / V32 Installation & Operation Manual
Caution
The valve should be installed in the closed position to insure that the seat and disc are not
damaged during installation. Particular care should be taken with valves equipped with ‘fail
open’ actuators. Failure to insure proper handling may result in damage to the valve. If the
pipe is lined, confirm that the disc rotation does not contact the lining during the opening
stroke. Failure to confirm that the disc rotation does not contact the lining may result in
damage to the valve.
Important
Whenever possible, install the valve with the shaft in the horizontal position and, if possible,
with the cast-in disc stop located top-side of the pipe. If the shaft cannot be positioned
horizontally, position the shaft so that it is not on the vertical centerline in a horizontal pipe
run. This will minimize any depositing of solid particles present in the fluid into the lower
bearing.

3. Installation
The valves are shipped with flange gasket surface protection. Before installing the valve, remove
the protection and carefully clean and de-grease both surfaces with a solvent.
3.1 Series V32 - lug style
3.1.1 Orient the valve with the directional flow arrow (preferred direction) pointing in the proper
direction.
3.1.2 Insert the valve between the flanges until the two bottom holes in the valve align with the
two lower flange holes.
3.1.3 Insert a bolt or stud through the flange and thread it into the holes in the valve body. This
will allow the valve to center itself properly for the installation of the flange gaskets.
3.1.4 Install the flange gaskets and the remaining flange bolting.
3.1.5 Use the crossover method to tighten all flange bolts.
3.2 Series V30 - wafer style
3.2.1 Orient the valve with the directional flow arrow (preferred direction)pointing in the proper
direction.
3.2.2 Insert the valve between the flanges until the alignment holes at either side of the valve
match the corresponding holes in the flanges.
3.2.3 Insert a long bolt or stud through the flange and thread it through the alignment hole. This
will allow the valve to center itself properly for the installation of the flange gaskets.
3.2.4 Install the flange gaskets and the remaining flange bolting.
3.2.5 Remove the long bolts/studs from the lower alignment holes and replace with correctly-sized
bolts.
3.2.6 Using the crossover method, tighten all flange bolts.
4. Valve checkout
4.1 Tighten the packing seal screws just enough to prevent shaft leakage.
4.2 Check the operation of the valve by stroking it to ‘full open’ and ‘full close’. To determine
the valve orientation of the disc, keyways are aligned with the disc. The valve disc travels
clockwise to close.
4.3 For automated valves, set the air pressure/electrical voltage for at least the minimum given
to operate the actuator. For pneumatic actuators, do not apply more than 1.25 times the
pressure for which the actuator was designed.
Note: For spring return actuators with positioners, overpressure will cause excessive time delay in
the spring movement for the valve disc to travel out of the seat.
5. Operation
The Series V30/V32 has been designed to require a minimum of maintenance. Generally, only
maintenance on the packing seal box is required.
6. Maintenance
If shaft leakage is observed through the packing box, replace the packing seal O-rings.
7. Disassembly
To begin disassembly, refer to the part lists (page 4 & 5) and proceed as follows:
Warning
Depressurize the valve and associated piping before disassembly. Failure to do so may cause
serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1. Remove the valve from the line. Clean the valve according to proper cleaning procedures as
outlined by the plant or according to a prescribed procedure.
2. Remove the actuator and relevant connecting key. Note the actuator position relative to the
valve.

Caution
Throughout disassembly and assembly, always use cardboard or brass shims to protect the
valve body, disc, flange and sealing surfaces from damage. Failure to do so may result in
serious damage to the valve.
Warning
When placing the valve into the bench vise, make sure the small end of the disc taper pin
faces the assembler. Hold the punch with a punch holder or a pair of vise grips. Otherwise,
serious injury may occur.
Warning
Smaller discs may be removed by hand DN 50 to DN 200 (NPS 2 to NPS 8). Remove larger
discs with proper hoisting equipment. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
Caution
Physically hold the disc to prevent from falling and becoming damaged during removal.
When shaft is removed from the disc, the disc is unsupported.
