IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance
of the High Recovery Gas Metering Valve (valve). The following are general safety precautions that are
not related to specific procedures and therefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are
recommendedprecautionsthatpersonnelmustunderstandandapplyduringmanyphasesofmaintenance.
Safety Alert Symbols
Safetyalertsymbols areusedinthismanualtoidentifypotentialorimmediatepersonal injury hazards. The
safety alert symbol words are explained below:
DANGERindicatesanimminentlyhazardoussituationwhich,ifnot
avoided, will result in injury or serious injury.
WARNINGindicates apotentially hazardoussituation which,ifnot
avoided, could result in injury or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a poten-
tially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in pro-
perty damage.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
!Wear protective clothing (gloves, apron, etc.) approved for the materials and tools being used.
USE APPROVED SAFETY EQUIPMENT
!When cleaners are being used, approved explosion-proof lights, blowers, and other equipment must
be used. Make sure that fire fighting equipment is readily available and in working order.

GIVE CLEANERS SPECIAL CARE
!Keepcleaners inspecialpolyethylenebottlesorinsafetycansandinminimumquantities. Discardsoil-
ed cleaning rags into safety cans.
Equipment Safety Information
The following safety information briefly discusses hazards peculiar to theequipment, which are likely to be
encountered during maintenance activity.
VALVE INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
!Thedesignofthepipingsystemmustprovideadequatepressureandtemperatureprotectiontoprevent
exceeding the limits of the valve.
!Flanged Piping Connections
CMake sure that the valve orientation is correct and install the valve in-line with the flanges. Make
sure that the piping flanges are properly positioned and spaced. Do not force the piping in order to
fit the valve. Do not use the flange bolting to pull the piping into the proper position.
CInstall the gaskets and the bolting, and torque per ANSI or API requirements.
CRe-torque the flange closure bolts after the first exposure to elevated temperature.
!Make sure that the valve cycles and operates correctly after installation.
VALVE OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
!Do not exceed the pressure/temperature limits of the valve.
!Do not lubricate the valve. Use of lubrication or sealants may void the warranty or cause pre-mature
failure of the valve.
VALVE MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
!Do not loosen any fasteners or attempt to removal the valve from the line until all pressure is isolated
and released from the system, with valve halfway closed to release the body cavity pressure.
GENERAL OPERATING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS
!During and after operation, all of the valve components are hot. Touching hot components can cause
painful injury.

!Use only authorized replacement parts or hardware.
!Observe proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures when working on the valve.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEMS
!Protect all gas lines from damage or puncture. Do not operate the valve if a gas leak is detected – this
could indicate a loose or damaged high pressure fitting.
!Do not use flammable solvents for cleaning parts.
!Check for tools, rags, or loose parts left in the area before resuming operation.
!Do not attempt to remove the valve from the system without first isolating it from the line pressure and
venting all of the trapped internal pressure.

ed and calibrated in accordance with the actuator manufacturer’s documentation.
D. The valve is currently designed to accept an electro-hydraulic actuator.
2. Revision Service
This manual will be revised as necessary to show the current information.
3. Weights and Measurements
Weights and measurements in this manual are expressed in both English (U.S. customary) and
Metric (SI) units.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation (See Figure 1)
A. The High Recovery Gas Metering Valve (valve) is designed for use with a precision electro-
hydraulic or electric actuator. The actuator mount is a threaded boss that surrounds the valve
shaft. The valve shaft is threaded to mate with the actuator output ram.
B. The valve is a linear plug valve used to control gas flow into the combustion system within a
large frame industrial gas turbine engine. The valve is designed to fail closed.
C. The major components of the valve are the plug, the shaft and the body. The valve is designed
to accept the direct mount of a precision electro-hydraulic or electric actuator.
D. Gas flow is controlled by the linear positioning of the valve plug within it’s seat. The position
accuracy of the actuator and theprofile of the plug provides a high degree of flow precision and
improved pressure delivery.
