4. Safety information
Buttery valves are intended to be installed in a piping system, so the same regulations and safety measures
that apply to the complete system, must be applied to the valve. In this manual, additional safety instructions
related to the buttery valve are contained.
General safety information
• In the piping system, the common ow speeds in permanent operation are not exceeded.
• If abnormal operational conditions such as vibrations, cavitation, erosion, solids in the medium, are present,
they have been discussed with InterApp.
• At operating temperatures that result in hot or cold valve parts (incl. add-ons) and therefore might cause
dangers, the installation must take into account protective measures against accidental touching.
• That any actuator that is installed on the valve not by InterApp are adjusted to the valve, and all the safety
measures have been considered.
• Only expert personnel operate and service the valve.
Safety instructions to the operators
Buttery valves are intended to be installed in a piping system, so the same regulations and safety measures
that apply to the complete system, must be applied to the valve. In this manual, additional safety instructions
related to the buttery valve are contained.
InterApp does not assume any responsibility, so therefore the operator must ensure when operating the valve
that:
• The valve is only used properly as intended.
• The piping system has been laid professionally and is checked regularly.
• The valve is professionally connected to the piping.
Particular hazards
Before the valve is removed from the piping system, ensure that the pressure in the system
is completely relived from both sides of the valve. Do not attend to unscrew the valve of
the pipes with pressure, failure to follow this recommendation can cause damages to the
personnel and the equipment.
Please notice that some residues could remain in the inner of the valve and that they might
be dangerous for people or the environment. Therefore, the buttery valve has to be handled
with the corresponding caution.
For valve to be installed at the end of line, please always follow the instructions on chapter
6. Never attempt to unscrew or operate the valve without relieving the pressure.
Do not remove the actuator of the valve, while the valve is still under pressure.
Lifetime for safe function
Verify the external tightness of the valve at suitable intervals, and if leakage is detected please proceed to
uninstall the valve and replace the liner.
The liners are suitable for the following frequency of operations without replacement:
Nominal Size DN Number of cycles without
service operations
50 <= DN <= 80 100.000
80 < DN <= 150 50.000
150 < DN <= 250 25.000

6. Installation
Introduction
To guarantee the benets of the InterApp buttery valves Desponia® and Desponia® plus,
proper procedures and compliance with the installation instruction are essential. The
installation has to be carried out according to the state of the art and only by qualied
personnel. InterApp reserves the right to decline responsibility for damage or premature
failure if the recommendations contained in this instruction are not being followed. Consult
the corresponding valve datasheet concerning the installation of a valve at the end of
the line. Dimension, material and application range of the buttery valves Desponia® and
Desponia® plus are according to the technical documentation.
The weight of the buttery valves Desponia® and Desponia® plus is shown on the technical datasheets.
Due to its weight, special care should be taken during the installation of the valves, and the use of lifting devices,
ropes, slings, etc. should always be contemplated.
For these operations the end user and personnel should wear the necessary protection equipment as per the
local regulations and follow the local safety regulations.
Storage
InterApp buttery valves Desponia® and Desponia® plus should always be stored free from
dust and humidity.
The valve is supplied with the disc in a slightly open position and should remain so until the
installation is completed. (Fig. 1).
Buttery valves supplied with a single acting spring closing pneumatic actuator should be
stored with disassembled actuator, this to avoid a lasting deformation of the liner.
The actuator should be mounted only after the installation of the valve in the piping.
Precautions to be taken prior to installation
Please make sure that the valve intended for installation is suitable for the service conditions
prevailing. The responsibility about the used uids (corrosion resistance, pressure,
temperature, etc.) lies by the user of the plant.
Call your supplier or InterApp if you need any assistance.
Please consider that turbulences (i.e. created by piping bow) generate hydro dynamic forces
increasing the operating torque of the valve. We recommend installing the valve minimum
5 x DN after pipe ttings.
For the installation of valves in horizontal pipelines, we recommend installing the valves with
their shaft in a horizontal position.
Please ensure that the lower edge of the disc opens with the direction of the ow. This
prevents deposition of slurries and contamination in the shaft sealing area. (Fig. 2)
Check before installation:
Positioning
Never use gaskets nor grease. (Fig. 3)

Installation
Flange facings must be smooth and clean. Rust, welding scores, rests of paint, dirt, etc.
must be removed in order to prevent damage of the valve gasket.
Desponia® and Desponia® plus buttery valves, in wafer style design, are suitable for
installation between DIN PN10/16 or ANSI150 anges. For the installation of valve between
anges of other standards consult InterApp or its authorized distributors.
The valve should not be mounted in pipes, where the actual bore diameter is less than the
nominal bore dimension of the valve. In that case, spacer rings should be tted between
anges and valve to prevent damage to the disc on opening. (Fig.4)
The valve should never be installed between anges which are not parallel to each other.
Make sure that pipes and valves are installed concentric. The disc of a misaligned valve
may be damaged. (Fig.5). Furthermore, it is inadmissible to carry out any welding on the
piping while the valve is between the anges. This would destroy the liner of the valve.
The anges have to be spread in order to ease the installation of the valve and the disc must
be partially open (Fig. 6).
Misspreaded anges may damage or roll the liner outside the body anges.
Set all stay-bolts by keeping the disc slightly open and do not tighten the nuts (Fig. 7).
By tightening the stay-bolts when the disc is closed, the liner will be compressed in a wrong
position. An excessive closing torque and leakage will result. Open completely the disc (Fig.
8). Ensure that the piping is aligned. Tighten diagonally opposite the nuts.

Disposal:
Please notice that some residues could remain in the inner of the valve and that they might be
dangerous for people or the environment. Therefore, the buttery valve has to be handled with
the corresponding caution. After its use, the buttery valve has to be disposed of according to the
state of the art and under consideration of the environment.
Cleansing of the piping:
When cleansing the piping system, it is very important to assure that the cleaning products and
devices are harmless for the valve. Not convenient products and devices might destroy the valve.
Removal:
When removing the valve from the pipe please take care not to damage the disc and the liner of
the valve.
7. Functional Tests
Pressure tests on the valves has already been done by InterApp.
When putting the piping system in operation for the rst time, please follow the local regulations and the necessary
safety measures of the whole system.
In order to remove potential debris located in the piping system, prior to the normal operation of the same, it is
recommended to ush the piping system.
Prior starting to use the installation, we recommend making a function test. Therefore, the valve must be opened
and closed at least once in order to check that the disc doesn’t touch the anges and that the valve is tight
through the passage and toward outside.
To make the pressure test of the piping system with the valves installed, please observe the following:
• Valve Open: The pressure test must not exceed the value of x 1,5 PS (Ps is shown on the label)
• Valve Closed: The pressure test must not exceed the value of x 1,1 PS (Ps is shown on the label)
8. Operation and Maintenance
Please notice that uid residues inside the buttery could be dangerous for humans and
the environment. The buttery valve must be handled accordingly and be cleaned carefully
prior to the maintenance.
Normal operation
Please notice that uid residues inside the buttery could be dangerous for humans and
the environment. The buttery valve must be handled accordingly and be cleaned carefully
prior to the maintenance.
Maintenance is made at the own risk of the user. Maintenance on a Desponia® must be
executed by trained staff only. Only original spare parts are to be used.
The frequency of replacement of the wear parts, is highly dependent on the uid, cycles, operating conditions,
etc.
The user should include in its maintenance program a chapter for inspecting the valves to check the wear parts
and change them if necessary.

3.1 Make sure there is no overpressure trapped inside of the valve prior disassembly.
3.2 Open the valve completely.
3.3 Remove the actuator.
3.4 Unlock screws and remove the retaining washer
3.5 Remove the shaft (either by using an extractor or by tightening the square of the shaft in a vise).
3.6 Remove the disc.
3.7 Loosen the liner at a point, squeeze until it is heart-shaped and then remove the liner.
4.1 Clean all parts. Use, if possible, a silicone spray or like ease the handling.
4.2 Ensure that the bigger hole of the liner is on the top side of the valve (the shaft diameter on the upper side is
bigger than this on the lower side).
4.3 Insert the heart-shaped liner. Set the upper part facing the shaft hole (use the shaft to centre the liner), let the
liner expand and adapt with the body.
4.4 Replace the disc. Ensure that the square is at the lower part (opposite the top of the valve). Take care not to
damage the liner.
4.5 Introduce the shaft through the liner and the disc, by rotating the disc in an alternated movement to ease the
operation.
4.6 Properly align the axis of the shaft square with the axis of the disc. Completely insert the shaft, evacuating air
from the lower shaft housing (slightly lift the liner using a screwdriver).
4.7 Remount the actuator.
4. Reassembly:
Before using the valve in a piping system, if it is required to make a tightness test (e.g. EN 12266-
1) or similar as well as a function test. Afterwards, put the disc in a slightly open position, so that
the disc edge doesn’t surpass the ange surface. This position must be kept until the valve is
being installed.
