only Norriseal replacement parts.
Please refer to the serial and model
numbers on the nameplate when
ordering replacement parts.
Maximum allowable pressures for the
valve body and actuator and the maxi-
mum allowable temperature for the
valve are shown on the nameplate. If
pressure to the valve is capable of ex-
ceeding these limits, install relief valves
and other protection devices.
When ordered, the valve configura-
tion and construction materials were
selected to meet the specific pres-
sure, temperature, pressure drop and
fluid conditions. Since some body/trim
materials are limited in their pressure
drop and temperature ranges, do not
apply any other conditions to the valve
without first contacting your Norriseal
sales representative.
You will see warning boxes like this
throughout the manual. Please read
and strictly observe these warnings to
prevent personal injury or equipment
damage. Before you begin the instal-
lation, operation or repair of equip-
ment, make sure to completely review
and understand the instructions in this
manual.
Scope
This instruction manual includes
installation, operation and mainte-
nance information for Norriseal Se-
ries 2700A Control Valves. Please
refer to separate manuals for instruc-
tions covering controllers and posi-
tioners.
Description
The Series 2700A Valve is designed
for general purpose use applica-
tions for modulating or on/o service
in liquid or gas control. The Series
2700A has a single-port body with
two types of trim—plug control and
cage control. Plug control can either
be balanced or unbalanced. Cage
control must always be balanced.
The Spring/Diaphragm Actuator has
a spring under the diaphragm for
both direct (fail open) and reverse
(fail closed) settings.
The plug control trim, which can ei-
ther be balanced or unbalanced, is
used when uid is owing up under
the valve plug. The uid pressure
drop will occur between the plug and
the seat. The curve on the plug will
signify the ow as quick opening or
modied percent.
The cage control trim, which must
always be balanced, can be used
when uid is moving either up or
down. The uid pressure drop will
occur at the cage’s port. The curve
on the cage will signify the ow as
linear or equal percent.
Norriseal valves come standard with
spring diaphragm pneumatic actua-
tors. These actuators are available
in spring closing or spring opening
types and are both available in a
range of sizes to suit your operating
conditions.
Series 2700A valves are available
with either adjustable or non-ad-
justable packing. Non-adjustable
packing is Chevron V-ring style with
a spring below the packing to main-
tain a positive stem seal. Adjust-
able packing is square compres-
sion packing, either Teon/Kevlar or
Grafoil material. Both packing types
are held together with two studs that
hold a compressor bar to the pack-
ing retainer. The Series 2700A bon-
nets have a NPT thread, if you wish
to add an optional packing lubricator.
Before disassembly or maintenance,
all pressures in this device must be re-
lieved. Failure to relieve pressures may
result in personal injury or device dam-
age. The resulting uncontrolled vent-
ing or spilling of line fluids may cause
personal injury, loss of process control
or environmental contamination.
Valve Identification
The nameplate of the valve is at-
tached to the upper diaphragm
housing of each valve. The name-
plate lists the serial number, series
number and model number, as well
as other information applicable to
the particular valve assembly, includ-
ing trim size, trim and plug materials
and pressure and temperature limits.
Valve model numbers are 13
characters long (an example of a
model number would be: RF-14TGS-
12NX). For more information on the
model numbers, refer to the individu-
al product brochure.
When servicing valves, always use

1.0 Valve Installation and
Start-Up
Before installing the valve, inspect
it for any shipment damage or any
debris that may have collected
during crating and shipment. Re-
move the ange protectors from
the body end connections.
Blow out all pipelines to re-
move pipe scale, chips, welding
slag and other debris. Gasket
surfaces should also be free of
any debris.
Install the valve so that ow is
in the direction indicated by the
ow direction arrow, which will
either be on the body of the valve
or on a tag pinned to the valve.
Install the valve using good
piping practice. For bodies which
contain anges, use a suitable
gasket between the body and

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Series 2700A Control Valve
2.0 Valve Maintenance
Before attempting any repairs, isolate
the control valve from the system and
make sure that all pressure is released
from the valve body, both up and
downstream. Shut off and vent supply
and signal air lines to the actuator.
1. Isolate the valve from the
process.
2. Shut off all control and supply
lines to the actuator.
3. Release the process pressure.
4. Vent the actuator loading
pressure.
Valve parts are subject to normal wear
and must be inspected and replaced
as necessary, with the frequency
of inspection depending upon the
severity of the repair needed. The
following sections describe the
procedures for disassembling and
reassembling the valve for normal
maintenance and troubleshooting.
All maintenance operations may
be performed while the valve body
remains in line, as long as the line is
not in service and/or is isolated from
active process by block valves. Table
2 lists the maintenance schedule for
the valve assembly. Table 5 provides
assistance in troubleshooting valve
operation.
NOTE: An increase in plug seating
force will also require an increase in the
diaphragm supply pressure required to
fully open the valve.
NOTE: Excessive adjustment of the
spring to increase seating force may
shorten the valve stroke preventing the
valve from opening fully.
Direct (fail open): Loosen
the lock nut on the adjusting
nut below the spring.
Turn the adjusting nut
clockwise to increase the
spring’s preload and turn it
counterclockwise to reduce
the preload. Retighten the
nut after adjustment.
NOTE: In a direct setting, any increase
in pressure may produce an increase
in plug seating force when the valve is
closed. Do not exceed 55 psi supply
pressure.
Stem travels for valves with full size
trim are listed below. For valves with
reduced or restricted trim, stem travel
may be less than the value shown.

pipeline. For threaded (NPT)
bodies, use pipe thread sealant.
The bodies are rated ANSI 150,
300, 600, 900, 1500 or 2500
class. Do not install the valve
in a system where the working
pressures exceed the limitations
noted on the nameplate.
Where piping is insulated do not
insulate the valve above the
valve bonnet.
Connect the instrument air to the
actuator or positioner connection.
Refer to the nameplate for
maximum instrument air pressure.
Check for proper valve operation
by cycling the actuator several
times and observing the stem
movement.
Do not exceed the maximum instrument
air pressure stamped on the valve
nameplate. Under no circumstances
should the actuator loading pressure
exceed 55 psi.
Actuator springs are pre-set at
a factory and may require ad-
justments to suit your specic
operating conditions. To adjust
the spring setting, complete the
following:
Reverse (fail close):Loos-
en the lock nut on the stem
below the spring, and turn
the adjusting nut above
it clockwise to increase
the spring’s pre-load and
plug seating force. This will
achieve a more secure shut-
o. Turn the adjusting nut
counterclockwise to reduce
preload. Retighten the nut
after adjustment.

2.3 Valve Disassembly
A. Balanced Plug Control Trim
Use care to avoid damaging gasket
sealing surfaces. The surface finish of
the valve stem is critical for making a
good packing seal. The inside surface
of the cage assembly or cage retainer
is critical for smooth operation of the
valve plug and for making a seal with
the plug seal ring. The seating surfaces
of the valve plug and seat ring are
critical for tight shutoff. Assume all of
these parts are in good condition when
disassembling the valve and protect
them accordingly.
Loosen the lock nut on the
actuator stem and turn the
nut above it counterclockwise
to completely remove the
spring’s preload. This will leave
the diaphragm attached to
the valve bonnet. (Alternately,
completely remove the actuator
by following steps 1-4 in Section
2.1 above.)
Remove the nuts from the bonnet

Seals
Inspect every 6 months, under normal service conditions
(low pressure drop and no sand or abrasives in fluid).
Or inspect every 2 months, under service conditions, such
as high pressure drop, corrosion, or fluid with sand.
Inspect bonnet once a year or whenever trim inspection is done.
The body should last many years under normal conditions.
However, under severe conditions of corrosion or erosion from
sand in the flowing fluid, high pressure drops, or high fluid
velocity, body life may be greatly reduced. Inspect the body
each time the bonnet is removed.
Inspect packing at least once a year.
Inspect diaphragm, spring and stem once a year.
Replace gaskets and inspect O-rings each time valve is
disassembled.
* Under certain operating conditions, this suggested maintenance schedule will not be adequate and a shorter time
schedule may be required.
A parts list drawing showing the valve configuration is available. Please contact your Norriseal
sales representative for this information.

stem and turn the adjusting
nut counterclockwise until the
spring’s preload is completely
removed and is de-energized.
Unscrew the two cap screws on
the stem connector and remove
the stem connector.
Unscrew the yoke lock nut using
a metal punch or narrow at
metal bar and hammer. Remove
the actuator yoke from the valve
bonnet.
Unscrew the cap screws around
the diaphragm housing and
remove the upper housing.
Remove the lock nut and
adjusting nut from the actuator
stem (reverse actuators) or the
actuator body (direct actuators).

2.6 Replacement of Teflon
V-Ring Packing
(Non-Adjustable)
Remove the two nuts retaining
the packing compressor bar and
lift the bar and retainer from the
bonnet. Pull out the old pack-
ing with a hook. Note: be care-
ful to avoid scratching the pack-
ing box wall or stem. If the stem
has been removed, the packing
may be pushed out using a rod
inserted through the hole at the
bottom of the bonnet. It is also
possible to pull up and push
down on the stem until the pack-
ing pops loose since the packing
is spring loaded.
Clean the packing box and all
metal parts.
Install the new packing and parts
in the following sequence:
a. Packing spring
b. Lower packing retainer
c. Male “V” packing ring
d. The “V” rings with the “V”
pointed downward toward
the body
e. Upper packing retainer
with the female “V” toward
the packing
f. Compressor bar
g. Two 3/8” nuts
Replace the valve plug/stem
assembly and install the bonnet
on the body using new gaskets.
Tighten the compressor bar nuts
until the retainer shoulder meets
the bonnet surface.
lapping of the surfaces.
With the compound applied to the
plug, t the seat against the plug
and begin lapping trim with rm
hand pressure applied by rotating
the seat back and forth against
the stationary plug. Occasionally
change hand gripping points
on seat to redistribute applied
pressure during lapping process.
Keep the seat in the same place
as much as possible during this
time.
Under the adequate light source,
inspect the lapped contact
surfaces of seat and plug.
Seat shall have a circular
uninterrupted lap band approxi-
mately 1/32” to 1/16” in width at
the base of seating chamber.
The plug will have a denite
continuous lap band approxi-
mately 1/32” to 3/32” in width
without being grooved.
The nished lap areas of seat
and plug will have a smooth,
close grained, dull appearance
with no skips or tears.
Wash the plug and seat in sol-
vent to remove all lapping com-
pound and wipe the parts dry.
2.4 Trim Inspection
Visually inspect the valve plug
and seat for signs of erosion, pit-
ting, scratches and other dam-
ages. A magnifying glass may be
helpful here.
Fit the plug and seat together.
While looking into the bottom of
the seat, hold the trim against a
bright light. If any light can be
seen between the plug and seat
contact surfaces, you may have
poor seat condition.
Determine the severity of the
damage. Many times the plug
and seat contact surfaces can
be fully restored by relapping.
Replace any products that can-
not be restored.
If the stem has been removed,
examine the stem for pitting,
scratches or any other dam-
age. If any damage cannot be
removed by polishing the stem,
replace the stem.
2.5 Trim Restoration
Overlapping will widen the lap band and
can reduce seat tightness.
Lap the plug to the seat. NOTE: This
process does not apply to plugs with
soft seat inserts.
Clean the plug and seat in
solvent and wipe dry.
Select the appropriate lapping
compound as shown in Table 3.
Using a stir stick, apply lapping
compound sparingly at 3 or 4
places along the seat surface on
the plug. Note: the use of excess
compound runs the risk of uneven
