1OBJECTIVE
This instruction manual contains important information
regarding ‘long-term’ storage requirements for Jamesbury
bare-stem valves, valves with manual gears or levers, and
valves with pneumatic or electric actuators including
actuator accessories.
The following are recommendations for storage to
maintain product integrity during periods of storage up to
five (5) years when stored in an area as described in
Section 2, and periodically inspected as described in
Section 4.
2LOCATION
We recommend the units are stored in a clean, dry, secure
warehouse. Units should not be stored on the floor. In
storage the units are to be protected from any harmful
effects listed below.
• Sunlight
• Ozone
• Moisture (rain, flood, humidity, etc.)
• Pests (mammal, insects, etc.)
•Dirt, dust, sand, etc.
• Mold and/or mildew
• Temperatures below 32° Fahrenheit, or above 100°
Fahrenheit.
• Flames
• Radiation
• Vibration
• Chemicals
• Mechanical damage caused by crushing or dropping
NOTE: The major source of equipment deterioration
encountered in ‘long-term’ storage is from condensation
within the units. Should a reliable means be unavailable to
preclude this condensation within the unit, the purchaser
should consider the addition of heat source in electrical
enclosures during storage. Humidity indicator cards, or
equivalent, may also be used as an indicator of moisture
levels present in the storage area.
3EQUIPMENT ORIENTATION
1. Valves may be stored in the vertical or horizontal
position.
2. Missing or damaged end covers should be replaced
immediately in order to prevent contamination.
3. Valves or valve assemblies should be placed on a skid
and covered to prevent dust, sand, dirt, or moisture
from entering into the valve. Pneumatic and electrical
conduit openings should be plugged.
4. For storage of valve assemblies containing electric
actuators the preferred storage position is with the
valve stem and motor shaft in the horizontal position.
It is acceptable to position the valve stem vertical, with
the motor shaft horizontal.
5. Valves may be stored as shipped, provided the storage
location and equipment orientation instructions in this
manual are followed.
6. If valve shipping condition must be altered for
receiving inspection reattach flange covers promptly
and repackage valve or assembly.
4STORAGE INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
1. Create and maintain a storage record log.
2. Check the valve and any accompanying devices for
damage that may have occurred during shipping.
3. Any deficiencies noted should be immediately
corrected. All maintenance activity should be recorded
in the log.
4. Visual inspections should be performed on a semi-
annual basis. As a minimum, the condition of the
packaging, humidity indicator cards (if used), and the
integrity of all plugs and covers shall be checked.
5. Steps should be taken to protect any un-painted
exterior surfaces on the valve and actuators. Light rust
on the exterior of the valves is permissible. This will
have little or no effect on their performance. Heavy
internal rust however, may be harmful and must be
corrected.
6. Maintenance shall consist of correcting deficiencies
noted during inspection. All maintenance activity shall
be recorded in the log.
WARNING:
IT IS THE PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE THE NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF VALVES IN STORAGE.
WARNING:
ONCE REMOVED FROM STORAGE, ALL VALVES SHOULD BE FULLY
RETESTED PRIOR TO INSTALLING IN PIPELINE.
WARNING:
VALVES MUST BE STORED IN THE FULLY OPEN OR FULLY CLOSED
POSITION. LONG-TERM STORAGE IN THE PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION
MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE SEATS.

Subject to change without prior notice.

7. Valves should be cycled quarterly. Cycles should be full
open to full close; do not make partial cycles. Return
valve to either the full open or full closed position.
Record the operation of the valve in the log.
8. For storage of valve assemblies containing pneumatic
actuators stroke the unit quarterly on a yearly basis.
Replace the plugs and record the strokes in the log.
9. For storage of valve assemblies containing electric
actuators the preferred storage position is with the
valve stem and motor shaft in the horizontal position.
It is acceptable to position the valve stem vertical, with
the motor shaft horizontal.
10. Rubber hoses require particular attention during
routine inspections. Check rubber hoses for
deterioration from the element as well as damage from
pests. Replace any damaged hoses and record the
replacement in the log.
5PRE-INSTALLATION
1. Do not remove the flow port covers or plugs until
installing the valve or valve assembly.
2. Move the unit(s) to its intended location just before
installation into the pipeline.
3. Re-torque all fasteners prior to installing the units into
the pipeline. See valve, actuator and or valve accessory
installation, maintenance and operating instructions
for guidance.
6SERVICE KITS/SPARE PARTS
We recommend that all maintenance work performed on
Jamesbury valves, actuators and accessories be performed
only by trained individuals. Alternatively, we recommend
that Jamesbury valves, actuators and accessories be
directed to Metso Service Centers for maintenance.
The Metso Service Centers are equipped to provide rapid
turnaround at reasonable cost and offer new component
warranty with all reconditioned units.
