1.1 Installation
Flow through this Jamesbury valve can be in either
direction. It is recommended, however, that the valve be
installed with the insert facing upstream.
IMPORTANT: The valve should be tightened between
anges using appropriate gaskets and fasteners for the
service, in compliance with applicable piping codes and
standards.
2. MAINTENANCE
Although Metso’s Jamesbury valves are designed to work
under severe conditions, proper preventative maintenance
can signicantly help to prevent unplanned downtime and
in real terms reduce the total cost of ownership. Metso
recommends inspecting valves at least every ve (5) years.
The inspection and maintenance frequency depends on
the actual application and process condition.
2.1 Kerotest Handle Disassembly
NOTE: If complete disassembly becomes necessary,
replacement of all seats and seals is recommended.
1. When performing any work on this valve, use normal
safety precautions to protect yourself against residual
uid or trapped pressure in the line.
2. Depressurize and drain the line. CYCLE THE VALVE
SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE DOING ANY WORK. This will
relieve any pressure still inside the valve.
3. Remove the valve from the line and cycle the valve
several times again leaving in the closed position.
