The maintenance personnel doing the repairs should be well trained, and familiar with all the information
contained in this manual.
The valves shall be appropriately used for the intended purpose. Any safety or protection devices on the valve shall
not be permanently removed or altered unless written approval is received from Cameron representative.
Transport, unpacking, lifting, connections to the different types of systems (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic systems,
etc.) shall be made by expert and qualified personnel.
Should any difficulties or abnormalities arise which cannot be solved by the technician, contact a Cameron
representative.
Any servicing not covered by these instructions must be made by an authorized service center, after preliminary
approval has been given by Cameron representative.
INSTALLATION
Before installation, ensure the grease fittings and sealing surfaces of connection flanges are not damaged during
transportation. Remove the connection flange protectors and ensure that no foreign materials are inside the valve
bore. If pressure tests are conducted before installation, drain the valve to remove testing water.
Clearly identify the valve through its data plate, check its weight with the packing list or relevant documents and
then place it on a horizontal surface, using suitable handling equipment. Handling equipment must be provided
which is appropriate for the total weight of the package.
Use the lifting eyes on valve body to lift the valve. Do not use lifting lugs or eyes provided on the gear or actuator,
if present. Pay attention that slings do not damage the gear or actuator. Lift the valve and put it on a plane,
horizontal surface, take care to avoid damaging the valve connections by using wooden saddles or other suitable
equipment.
To avoid the ingress of debris or sand into the ball and seat area the protective covers should not be removed until
the valve is ready to be installed in the line. When the valve needs to be installed in the line take away the
protective plastic or wooden flange protectors.
During installation the valve must be fully open and the line sections, between which the valve will be installed,
must be aligned, clean and correctly spaced. Should the valve be closed, the exposed face of the ball must be
protected with grease or other anti-adhesive product.
When the valve has butt welding ends, welding on the line must be performed using the proper welding
procedure. After welding, clean and check the weld bead and repair as required.
