Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation and parts information for Fisher ENVIRO-SEAL live-loaded packing systems
(see figure 1). These systems are available for Fisher sliding-stem valves with 9.5, 12.7, 19.1, 25.4, 31.8, and 50.8 mm
(3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, and 2 inch) diameter stems. The system can be used with many sliding-stem valves as shown in
the Applications section of the Specifications. Refer to appropriate valve and actuator instruction manuals for
necessary information relating to the disassembly and assembly of the valve and actuator. ENVIRO-SEAL packing
systems for sliding-stem valves utilize a Belleville (coned-disk) spring system in the pressure/temperature ranges
shown in the specifications. For higher pressure/temperature ratings, refer to the HIGH-SEAL ULF Live-Loaded Packing
System instruction manual, D101453X012.
Do not install, operate, or maintain ENVIRO-SEAL live-loaded packing systems 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 or Local
Business Partner before proceeding.

Description
ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems, with exceptional sealing capabilities, can be easily installed into your existing valves or
can be purchased with new valves. These systems help seal your process to conserve valuable fluids, and protect the
environment against the emission of hazardous or polluting liquids and gases. The external live-loading provides a
constant load over the life of the packing material, which reduces your need for packing box adjustment and
maintenance.
If the piping and valve are insulated, do not allow insulation to extend above the yoke boss surface, covering the
ENVIRO-SEAL packing arrangement. Keep the ENVIRO-SEAL packing arrangement exposed to ambient air conditions.

Installation
ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems are designed for quality performance over extended periods. This longevity allows for
packing maintenance to be performed as it should be, at regularly scheduled plant outages or turn-arounds.
Use these instructions to install ENVIRO-SEAL packing in valves that have standard packing or when inspecting or
replacing ENVIRO-SEAL packing.
If you are changing the packing system material to a different material, such as PTFE to Graphite ULF, it is good
practice to review actuator sizing, as packing friction will change. See tables 4, 5, and 6 for information on packing
friction.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury 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 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 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 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 other hazards that may be present from exposure to process media.

1. Contact your Emerson sales office for valves not listed.
If you are installing the system in a valve that is still connected to an actuator, remove the actuator from the valve to
provide sufficient space to install the packing assembly. If a spring-return actuator is used, it is possible that
disconnecting the stem connector will allow the spring to force the actuator to the end of its travel. Be sure the
actuator spring is resting on its travel stop. Refer to the appropriate valve and actuator instruction manuals to remove
the actuator.

Remove old packing parts from the packing box by using the valve instruction manual procedures. Both the valve stem
surface condition and the packing bore are critical in obtaining a good seal. If the valve stem surface is scratched,
nicked, or worn, replace the valve stem before installing the ENVIRO-SEAL Packing System. Check the condition of the
packing bore and clean or hone it out, as necessary. Refer to the appropriate valve instruction manual to replace the
valve stem.

For key number locations refer to figures 5, 6, or 7. Then proceed as follows:
1. The original packing flange studs used for standard packing arrangements should be long enough to accommodate
the retrofit kit parts. If you determine that the existing studs and nuts should be replaced however, due to their
condition, replace them with the studs and nuts (keys 200 and 212) supplied in the retrofit kit.

CAUTION
To prevent product damage caused by scratching or damaging the packing box wall, take care when removing the old
packing parts from the packing box.
2. Carefully remove the old packing parts from the packing box. If the valve stem or packing box wall is scratched or
damaged, it can cause excessive leakage. If the valve stem needs to be replaced, or any other valve part, refer to the
appropriate valve instruction manual for replacement procedures. Complete all valve maintenance before installing
the ENVIRO-SEAL packing system into the bonnet.
Note
ENVIRO-SEAL PTFE packing systems can be used in either vacuum or positive pressure service. It is not necessary to reverse
ENVIRO-SEAL packing components in vacuum service.
Note
Ensure that the Belleville springs are stacked properly (see figure 4) and packing box parts are assembled in the correct order (see
figures 5, 6, or 7). Packing parts cannot function properly if the Belleville springs or other packing parts are not stacked correctly.
3. Use figures 5, 6, or 7 to ensure that the packing parts and spring pack are assembled in the correct order. Install the
ENVIRO-SEAL packing parts into the packing box.
4. Install the spring pack assembly (key 217), with the attached springs, onto the stem.
5. Install the packing flange (key 201) and packing box nuts (key 212). Hand tighten them.
Note
In general, the following tightening procedure applies to all ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems--both sliding-stem and rotary.
Note
Lubrication is required for the packing studs and nuts.
Although it is important to properly lubricate the stud threads and internal nut threads, it is also important to properly lubricate
the contacting face of the nut. See figures 5, 6, or 7 for lubrication locations.

Tightening Procedures
1. You will obtain maximum benefit from your ENVIRO-SEAL packing system when you tighten the packing flange nuts
and compress the Belleville springs to their “target load”. The target load is the point where the Belleville springs
are designed for optimum performance, when they are compressed to 85% of their maximum deflection, or nearly
flat. (Maximum deflection is when the springs are 100% compressed, or completely flat.)
To obtain the target load of 85% compression of maximum deflection, perform the following:
D Tighten the packing flange nuts 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), as detected by a rapid increase
in nut torque.
D For PTFE or Duplex packing, loosen each packing flange nut 1/2 turn (180_of rotation).
D For Graphite ULF packing, loosen each packing flange nut 1/4 turn (90_of rotation).
The “target load” of 85% compression has now been reached.
2. Refer to the appropriate valve and actuator instruction manuals when connecting the valve to the actuator. Under
normal conditions, the packing nuts should not require retightening.
However, when servicing, if the springs do not remain at the target load of 85% compression, retighten the packing
box nuts according to step 1 above.
3. The “springs flat” procedure described above in steps 1 and 2 of Tightening Procedures is the preferred method of
adjusting ENVIRO-SEAL packing. However, for Graphite ULF packing, the torque values in table 7 can also be used as
a guideline for 85% spring compression. These values are based on generous lubrication of the packing studs and
nuts with anti-seize lubricant. Loosening of the packing flange nuts is not required when these torques are used.
Other Considerations
When retrofitting an existing packing system or repacking a valve with ENVIRO-SEAL packing that has been in service,
check the condition of the packing bore after you have removed the packing. An easy method for cleaning debris and
minor imperfections from the bore is to use a brake cylinder hone attached to an electric drill. This method will do a
good job of cleaning the packing bore without changing the dimension of the bore.
When you have completed this exercise, a good guideline to use in checking the condition of the packing bore is the
20/20 rule. If less than 20% of the surface area of the bore is pitted and if there are no pits deeper than 0.020 inch, then
your packing should work as designed. This does not need to be an exact measurement; visual inspection is adequate.
If the packing bore does not meet this criteria, however, you should replace the bonnet.
Note
This check is only valid for rotary ENVIRO-SEAL packing systems and sliding-stem ENVIRO-SEAL or HIGH-SEAL packing systems.
Parts Ordering
Each valve assembly is assigned a serial number that can be found on the valve body. Refer to this serial number when
contacting your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for technical assistance. When ordering replacement
