Installation
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
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 on the valve and actuator nameplates. Use
pressure‐relieving devices as required by accepted industry, local, state, or federal 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.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage caused by uncontrolled movement or dropping of the valve assembly.
Hoist rings are sized to lift only the valve and actuator. Do not use hoist rings to lift the valve if piping or other structures
are added.
Rig the lift to use two hoist rings and take appropriate precautions to avoid unbalanced loading which may result in sudden
swinging or movement of the assembled unit, including additional lifting and/or support methods when necessary.
Failure to utilize safe lifting practices may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
1. If the valve will be placed in storage prior to installation, protect the flanges and keep the inside of the valve dry and
clear of foreign material.
2. Install a three‐valve bypass around the control valve assembly if continuous operation will be necessary during
inspection and maintenance of the valve.
3. Inspect the valve body for damage and be certain that the valve body cavity is free of foreign material.
4. Be certain that adjacent pipelines are free of any foreign material, such as pipe scale or welding slag, that could
damage the valve body seating surfaces.
5. A V250 valve is normally shipped as part of a control valve assembly, with a power or manual handwheel actuator
mounted on the valve. If the valve and actuator have been purchased separately or if the actuator has been

removed for maintenance, mount the actuator according to the actuator mounting procedure and adjust actuator
travel before inserting the valve into the pipeline. This allows necessary measurements to be made during the
actuator adjustment process.
The actuator can be either right‐or left‐hand mounted, as viewed from the valve body inlet, in any of the positions
shown in figure 10. Refer to the Actuator Mounting procedure in this manual and to the actuator instruction manual
for mounting and adjusting instructions before proceeding.
6. Before installing the valve, make sure the flow through the valve matches the flow direction arrow on the valve.
Failure to do so can damage the seal in a valve with a single seal construction.
For bidirectional flow, install the valve so the highest pressure flow matches the flow direction arrow on the valve.
Install the V250 valve in any position, but the recommended orientation is in a horizontal pipeline with the shaft
positioned horizontally and the ball closing in the downward direction.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the ball sealing surface, rotate the ball to the fully open position before installing the valve between
the pipeline flanges.
7. With the ball in the fully open position, install line flange gaskets and insert the valve between the pipeline flanges.
Use standard composition gaskets, or other flat sheet gaskets compatible with the flow media, between the valve
and the pipeline flanges. Spiral wound gaskets without compression controlling centering rings are not
recommended.
CAUTION
Uneven tightening of line bolts may cause uneven wear of the ball surface, leakage downstream or to atmosphere, or
uneven flange gasket alignment. Tighten line bolts evenly when installing the valve.
8. Center the valve in the line by making sure the mating flanges are aligned. Secure the valve in the line with the cap
screws (keys 33 and 34, figures 11 and 12), line bolts (key 35, not shown), and hex nuts (key 44, not shown).
Required clearances for installation of the line bolts and cap screws are shown in figure 2. When tightening the cap
screws and line bolts, use accepted bolting procedures. Lubricate the studs or bolts and tighten the nuts in a
crisscross sequence to ensure proper alignment of the valve with the flanges.
9. For hazardous atmosphere or oxygen service valves, read the following WARNING, and perform the instruction
provided in the WARNING and provide the bonding strap assembly mentioned in Step 10 below if the valve is used
in a hazardous application.
WARNING
The V250 is not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed. If the process fluid or the atmosphere around the valve
is flammable, personal injury or property damage could result from an explosion caused by a discharge of static electricity
from the valve components. If the valve is installed in a hazardous area, electrically bond the drive shaft to the valve.
Note
The packing is composed of all conductive packing rings (graphite ribbon packing) to electrically bond the shaft to the valve for
hazardous area service or non‐conductive PTFE packing rings. For oxygen service applications, perform the following step.

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. Instructions are presented in this section for
replacing the shaft seals, the ball seal or flow ring, the drive and follower shafts, the ball and bushing, and the valve
outlet gasket.
Key number locations are shown in figure 11 for single seal and flow ring constructions, and in figure 12 for dual seal
constructions.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can result due to a sudden release of pressure or process fluid if the pipe plug (key 42,
figure 12) is removed while the valve is pressurized. To avoid such injury or damage, remove the pipe plug only when the
control valve is isolated from the pressure system, or provide a hand valve to control relief of internal valve pressure to
avoid personal injury or property damage.
A V250 valve with a dual seal construction contains a pipe plug port (key 42, figure 12) on the underside of the valve.
This port can be used to relieve internal valve pressure for testing seal integrity when in the pipeline.
If the pipe plug port is to be used for testing seal integrity when the valve is in the pipeline, the plug should be replaced
with a hand valve to allow controlled relief of valve pressure during seal leak rate testing.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or damage to property from sudden release of pressure or uncontrolled process fluid. Before starting
disassembly:
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
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from either side of the valve.
D For dual seal valve constructions, remove pressure and drain the valve interior by removing the pipe plug
(key 42).
D Vent the power actuator loading pressure.
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 additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Replacing the Follower Shaft Seal
Both the follower and drive shaft seals should be replaced at the same time. Key number locations are shown in figure
11 or 12.

Perform this procedure if there is leakage around the follower shaft (key 7). Such leakage is an indication that the shaft
seal, which includes the seal and a backup ring, (key 16) must be replaced. The following procedure may be performed
with the valve in the pipeline.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of valve, and drain the process
media from both sides of the valve. For dual seal valve constructions, remove pressure and drain the valve interior
cavity. Shut off and disconnect all lines from the power actuator.
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
2. Unscrew the hex nuts (key 8) and remove the seal carrier (key 3) and shaft seal (key 16). Inspect and clean all parts
and sealing surfaces on the seal carrier and follower shaft (key 7). Also, inspect and replace the O‐ring (key 23) if
necessary.
3. Install the new backup ring and shaft seal in the seal carrier.
Figure 3. Optional Shaft‐to‐Body Bonding Strap Assembly

4. Align the drive pin (key 28) with the drilled hole on the inner surface of the seal carrier, replace the seal carrier, and
secure it with the hex nuts (key 8). Be careful not to damage the shaft seal or O‐ring during replacement of the seal
carrier.
Replacing the Drive Shaft Seal
Perform this procedure if there is leakage around the drive shaft (key 6). Such leakage is an indication that the shaft
seal, which includes the seal and a backup ring, (key 16) must be replaced. This procedure may be performed with the
valve in the pipeline. However, the actuator must be removed from the valve.

Note
The valve shaft's sealing surfaces are critical in obtaining a good seal. If the valve shafts are scratched, nicked or worn, replace or
repair the valve shaft before installing new shaft seals.
Both seal rings, drive end and follower end, should be replaced at the same time.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of valve, and drain the process
media from both sides of the valve. For dual seal valve constructions, remove pressure and drain the valve interior
cavity. Shut off and disconnect all lines from the power actuator.
WARNING
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this instruction manual.
CAUTION
When removing the actuator in the following step, use a wheel puller to separate the actuator parts from the valve shaft.
Failure to do this could cause damage to the actuator parts and the drive shaft.
2. Remove the cap screws (key 29) from the actuator mounting yoke and, while referring to the actuator instruction
manual for assistance, remove the actuator. For oxygen service and hazardous area applications, remove the clamp
and bonding strap assembly (keys 40 and 41, figure 3).
3. Install the new backup ring and shaft seal in the seal carrier. Be sure to install the backup ring on the correct side
(see figure 4).
4. Replace the seal carrier and secure it with the hex nuts (key 8). Be careful not to damage the shaft seal or O‐ring
during replacement of the seal carrier.
5. Mount the actuator to the valve while referring to the Actuator Mounting section of this instruction manual and to
the appropriate actuator instruction manual. If appropriate, install or replace the bonding strap assembly and the
clamp (key 41 and 40, figure 3).
Replacing Ball Seal or Flow Ring
Perform this procedure if the control valve is not shutting off properly (that is, leaking downstream). This procedure
does not require removing the actuator from the valve. In addition to being shown in figures 11 and 12, key numbers
are shown in figure 5 for the ball seal constructions and in figure 6 for the flow ring construction.
Removal
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of valve, and drain the process
media from both sides of the valve. For dual seal valve constructions, remove pressure and drain the valve interior
cavity. Shut off and disconnect all lines from the power actuator.

WARNING
The ball (key 2) closes with a shearing motion. To avoid personal injury, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the
ball while stroking the valve.
CAUTION
Damage to the ball (key 2) may occur if the ball is not in the fully open position while the valve is being removed from the
pipeline. If necessary, pressure the actuator temporarily to retain the ball in the open position while removing the valve
from the pipeline.
2. With the ball in the fully open position, unscrew the line bolts and remove the valve from the pipeline.
3. Unscrew the cap screws (key 15, figures 11 and 12 only) and remove the seal protector ring (key 14) or the flow ring
(key 14) from the inlet end of the valve. Then remove the O‐ring (key 13), the ball seal (key 11), and the shim seals
(key 10). The flow ring construction will have no ball seal. For a dual seal construction, repeat this procedure on the
other end of the valve.
4. Thoroughly clean all metal surfaces. Check all parts for damage, and replace damaged parts with new parts if
necessary.

5. Proceed to the appropriate Installation procedure to install the removed parts.
Installation of Single or Dual Ball Seal
1. Check the seal surface of the valve (key 1) for scratches that may prevent the shim seals (key 10) from sealing off
internal valve pressures.
2. Rotate the ball (key 2) to the closed position as indicated by the travel indicator scale (key 37, figures 10 and 11
only).
3. Place the appropriate number of shim seals into the valve:
For NPS 4 through 10 valves, insert up to 6 shim seals into the valve.
For NPS 12 through 24 valves, insert up to 7 shim seals into the valve.
4. Inspect the sealing surface of the ball seal (key 11) for possible damage. Then place the ball seal on top of the shim
seals with any nicks or scratches facing away from the ball.
5. Add or remove the 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) thick shim seals to the valve until the ball seal firmly contacts the ball
sealing surface (i.e., without rocking) when pressed tightly against the shim seal assembly.
6. Temporarily remove the ball seal, and remove 3 shim seals.
7. Replace the ball seal, and then place the O‐ring (key 13) into the valve.
8. With the ball seal centered on the ball, install the seal protector ring (key 14) and secure it to the valve with the cap
screws (key 15).
9. For dual seal constructions, repeat this procedure on the other end of the valve.
Installation of Flow Ring
1. Check the seal surface of the valve (key 1) for scratches that may prevent the shim seals (key 10) from sealing off
internal valve pressures.
2. Rotate the ball (key 2) to the closed position as indicated by the indicator scale (key 37, figure 11 only).
3. Place the appropriate number of shim seals into the valve:
For NPS 4 through 10 valves, insert 6 shim seals into the valve.
For NPS 12 through 24 valves, insert 7 shim seals into the valve.
4. Making certain the flow ring (key 14) is centered and does not contact the ball, secure the flow ring to the valve with
the cap screws (key 15).
