Gate valves with soft seals are intended for isolation of NG (natural gas) flow. The valves have the Oil & Gas
National Technical Assessment no. Nr – INiG-PIB-KOT-2019/007. Each valve can be installed in above-ground
and underground pipelines as an integral inline part of the piping.The gate valves are two-position valves which
can only be set fully open or fully closed, and not intended for operation as control or damper valves.

Valve control mode: the standard version of the gate valve has the clockwise closing sense of rotation. The
closing sense of rotation can be opposite on special order .
Installation length: in accordance with plant documentation.
Nominal pressure ratings: 1,0MPa, 1,6MPa
The flanged gate valves with soft seals intended for gas flow isolation in NG pieline systems and other fluid
systems, feature a smooth walled bore, a non-ring spindle, and an o-ring spindle seal installed in a head-type
valve cover. The spindle is guided by a bushing in the valve cover neck and a sealing plug. The spindle seal
is effected by the plug sealing assembly, which is a system of O-rings. The gate valve closure is a cast iron
wedge completely coated with rubber and featuring sliding inserts as motion bearings. The spindle can be
operated manually with a hand wheel or, in gate valves installed underground, through a hood and gate valve
casing, using a T-socket wrench. The valve body 2312 features bell socket ends with transverse grooves cut
along the outer surface on which PE pipe ends are slid over. The pipes at the grooved bell socket length are
press fit with pressed steel rings that provide sure and tight joint. The metal to PE joints are preserved with
the PROTEGOL anti-corrosive protective coat and heat-shrunk bands.

3. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION MARKING
The gate valve marking meets the following standards: EN 19 (Industrial valves. Marking metal fittings), Marking
of metallic valves), EN 1074-1 (Valves for water supply. Fitness for purpose requirements and appropriate
verification tests. Part 1: General requirements). The gate valve bodies feature markings on the front and back
walls of the body chamber. The marking contains the following data:
manufacturer's trademark;
heat no;
nominal diameter;
nominal pressure;
body material type;

4. STORAGE & TRANSPORT
The products are packed on EURO pallets (1200x800 mm) or in custom containers, as applicable. Store the valves
in clean indoor rooms without bacteriological or chemical contaminants and at a room temperature between -20°C
and 70°C. Protect the paint coat and rubber parts from prolonged exposure to UV radiation. The filters should be
protected against mechanical damage.
Protect the rubber parts from compression by keeping the gate valve wedge closure halfway open. Secure the
products against shifting during shipping and handling. The gate valves shall be handled on slings and secured
from rotating.
5. INSTALLATION
The flanged gate valves with soft seals intended for gas flow isolation in NG pieline systems and other fluid
systems, can be installed in underground pipelines or overground pipeline installations, both horizontal and
vertical, with any direction of flow of the medium. The Type 2312 gas gate valves are intended for installation
between resistance-welded pipeline ends. The Type 2314 gas gate valves are intended for installation between
fusion-welded pipeline ends. Note that the completed installation must not expose the valve to bending or tensile
stress from loading with the unsupported pipeline sections, and the valves must be installed aligned with the piping.
Consider proper compensation of the pipeline dimensional changes from temperature and pressure in the
installation. The gate valve is ready for installation as assembled and adjusted by the manufacturer. Any
dismantling of the gate valve components may result in loss of seal.
Before attempting to install the valve, check the technical and commercial documents delivered with the product
to verify that your media and pipeline operating parameters comply with the manufacturer's declaration. Any
change in the operating conditions must be consulted with the manufacturer beforehand.
Before attempting to assemble the valve, remove the main bore plugs, check the inner surfaces of the valve and
thoroughly flush with water, if necessary. Install the gate valve on a base or a support adequate to the size and
weight of the valve, to prevent strain of the piping with the valve. Use suitable piping flanges, gaskets and bolts
for the valve flange ends. The valve and piping flange holes must be aligned. Tighten the connection flange bolts
crosswise to ensure a proper seal pressure. The gate valve location must prevent exposure to freezing of the
medium flowing through the gate valve. Equip the gate valve with a suitable control, e.g. a spindle handwheel with
a flexible or rigid housing, an electric drive unit and a pedestal. When installing a housing, it is necessary to equip
the unit with a street box founded on a base slab. When using a spindle extension, make sure that the weight of the
extension is not transferred to the gate valve spindle. To prevent the load transfer, use holding pieces, mounted to
the chamber/vault walls. Spindle extensions over 3000 mm long shall be attached via Cardan joints. Having
completed the installation, perform a pressure test at a maximum test pressure equal to 1.5 times the nominal
pressure.
Caution! If the product has mechanical damage, do not install it in the pipeline.
6. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The gate valve shall be operated in accordance with all relevant requirements for stop valves, i.e. kept either in the
fully open or fully closed position. Leaving the gate valve partially opened (or closed) may result in seal failure.
The gate valve can be controlled with:
a handwheel sized according to the Product Specification Sheet and mounted on the gate valve spindle or a
pedestal;
a T-socket wrench, if the spindle neck is in a housing;
an electric or pneumatic drive unit;
other driving gear, e.g. a handwheel with a chain.
Valve control requires a specific driving torque (see table in Section 2) and a specific number of spindle turns. Do
not exceed the maximum driving torque.
To ensure full operational efficiency, carry out a technical inspection and maintenance at least once a year as
follows:
Operate the gate valve from the fully open position to the fully closed position, or vice versa, as the case may
be.
Follow the driving torque limits specified in the table in Section 2.

OPERATING MANUAL 11-2020 7/8
If the valve operation is difficult, i.e. the valve reaches the maximum driving torque before either of its limit
positions (e.g. due to scale on the spindle threads), repeat the full operation three times.
Check the tightness of all connections and seals with the gate valve closed.
If all the actions above have been completed with a good result, visually inspect the corrosion protection. If
the paint coat is damaged, rebuild it with the paint kits available from JAFAR.
Replacing the seal in the cover:
Fully open the valve (until you clearly sense that the wedge closure (7) resists further movement; this will seal the
spindle under the flange (6)).
This operation allows you to replace the o-rings in the plug (3) or the whole plug assembly on the pipeline in
operation.8
Clean the gate valve cover from dirt, sediments and grime.
Disassemble the following in the succession shown below:
the wiper gasket (1);
the circlip (2).
Release and remove the sealing plug (3) (with the service wrench tool available from the manufacturer).
Clean and moisten the seat in the cover.
Install the new sealing plug assembly (3) or clean the existing one and install its new o-rings.
Leak test the valve in the OPEN POSITION to confirm that the sealing has been properly replaced.
Install the circlip in place to prevent secure the plug (2) in place.
The reassembled and positively tested valve will be ready for operation.
