directlyinstalled intoportA and B.
When the actuator is operated on start up or from being offwith no
pressurisation, the end user must purge the internal parts of the
actuator in accordance with the IOMmanualto ensure there has not
been a build-up of an internal explosive atmosphere; to enhance
safety a Specific Condition of use to that effect applies (Prior to
putting the equipment into operation, the internal chambers of the
actuator shell be purged with clean, dry air from a non –hazardous
area or an inert gas; refer to equipment IOMmanual). Once purging
has been completed,the end user shall startthe actuatorby supplying
air pressure toport A. At this point,a V-shapedgasket atthe breather
block device moves to the left and allows non-explosive
instrumentation air filling the inner chamber of the actuator. At the
same time the air, whichis in thespring chamber,willbe pushed out
by the piston’s movement through the actuator's port B and out to
the exit orifice. The outer atmosphere will no longer enter the
actuator and the actuator will only contain non-explosive
instrumentation air in both chambers.
Closing the actuator by stopping the pressure supply toportA. At this
point, the V-shaped gasket will move to the right due to the
instruments air pressure in the internalchamberand redirect itfrom
the inner chamber towards the exit orifice. At the same time the
outgoing air will fill the spring chambers.

7. Operating Instructions
Habonim Valves providetight shutoff when used under normalconditions and in accordance with Habonim’s
published pressure/temperature chart.
If these valvesare usedin a partially open (throttled)position,seat lifemaybereduced. Consult with Habonimfor
theproperseatmaterialselection.
Onmanualoperatedvalves, thevalveoperationis done by turning thevalvehandle 90° clockwise toopen
(handle is parallelto flow line), and 90° counterclockwise toclose (handleis perpendicular to flow line).
Forunidirectionaldesignedvalves;aflowarrowindicates theflowdirectionofthevalveforproperinstallation. A
silicone-based lubricant is applied to assist valve break in.The lubricant, if unacceptable, may beremoved by a
solvent wash.
If ashut-off valveis installed for end of line service,it mustbe ensuredthatit is closed with ablind end
connection and the valve is securedagainst being opened unintentionally.
WARNING: Never look into the valve bore while the valveis in a flow line. Pressure and
fluids could escape from the valve causing harm or injury.
To prevent leakage, malfunctions resulting from internal wear or seal degradation, the
user must establish a preventive maintenance and inspection program. This program
must include:
1. Inspection of parts to detect loss of wall thickness which may result in decreased
pressure capacity (see Para.3 foracceptable reduction ofwall thickness).
2. Routine replacement of seals and inspection for proper operation (See Para. 7 for
maintenance instructions).
Valveoperating torques, as published in the Habonim literature,are the normal
expected maximum break-out torques. These torques have been confirmed by
laboratory testing of each valve under controlled conditions. Highly viscous or
abrasive media, frequency of operation and temperature fluctuations could cause an
increase in valve torque.
