Bonnet description
Non-Sealed bonnet
The non-sealed bonnet has a weep hole that permits leakage of the process fluid if the diaphragm
ruptures.
Sealed bonnet
The sealed bonnet uses a special “V-notch” vent plug, which permits diaphragm inspection.

Installation
Precautions
WARNING:
• All procedures must be performed by qualified personnel.
• When the process fluid is hazardous, thermal (hot or cold), or corrosive, take extra precautions.
Employ the appropriate safety devices and be prepared to control a process media leak.
• Always wear protective clothing and equipment to safeguard the eyes, face, hands, skin, and lungs
from the particular fluid in the line.
CAUTION:
• Disconnect electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power before servicing actuator or automation
components.
Install the valve and topworks
NOTICE:
The topworks size and configuration can limit the actual operating pressure. Consult the engineering
catalog for topworks sizing. Consult the factory or engineering catalog for vacuum operation.
Consider the following information before installing the actuator:
• The series 3, 5, 8, or 16 stainless steel bonnet Advantage actuator 2.0 can have the air inlets positioned
in any quadrant.
• The maximum valve operating pressure is 150 psig (10.34 bar). This pressure is applicable up to 100º
F (38º C). Valves at maximum pressure cannot be used at maximum temperatures.

Manually Remove the topworks.
In line for schedule 10 or heavier pipe Remove the topworks.
In line for schedule 5 or lighter pipe
and tubing
You can weld with automatic equipment. Before you perform
the weld:
1. Do not remove the topworks.
2. Set the valve to the open position.
3. Properly purge the valve with an inert gas.
2. Install the valve.

If the valve is a ... Then ...
Pure-Flo diaphragm
valve
Install with the raised hash marks (castings) or small machined dots (forgings)
on the valve body at the 12 o’clock position to achieve the optimum drain angle.
3. Prior to pressurization (with the valve slightly open), tighten the bonnet fasteners.
For more information, see Tighten the bonnet fasteners in this manual.
4. Connect the air line.
Connection size is 1/8" NPT.
NOTICE:
Air line connections should be made with care so as not to damage the actuator covers.
5. Cycle the valve two to three times to verify smooth operation.
Disassemble the valve
1. Remove all line pressure.
2. Do you have a switch package?
• If yes: Proceed to step 3.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
3. Do you have a fail open or double acting actuator?
• If yes: Proceed to step 4.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
4. Do you have a series 33 actuator or adjustable opening stop?
• If yes: Remove the switch package.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
5. If the actuator mode of operation is fail open or fail close, then load the actuator with air.
If the actuator mode of
operation is ...
Then ...
Fail open Load the air port in the upper cover of the actuator with sufficient air
to partially close the valve.
Fail close Load the air port in the bottom cover of the actuator with sufficient air
to partially open the valve.
6. Remove the bonnet fasteners.
7. Lift the topworks assembly from the valve body.
8. If the actuator mode of operation is fail open, then remove pressure load from the actuator.
9. Do you have a fail open or double acting actuator?
• If yes: Proceed to step 10.
• If no: Procedure is complete.
10. Do you have a series 33 actuator or adjustable opening stop?
• If yes: When the actuator is not on the valve body, do not allow the flats on the indicating spindle
to move below the upper cover spindle o-ring.
• If no: Procedure is complete.
