Installation & Operational Considerations
Before installing the product, blow out the piping to remove
any piping scraps, dirt, oil and scale.
Failure to do so may result in leakage at the seat due to foreign matter.
Do not remove the product from its box or protective covering
until just prior to installation.
The protective cover keeps damage causing foreign materials out of
the product.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to turn the handle past the full open or full closed
position.
Turning past these points may cause product malfunction or damage.
1. Product Description
BE8H series bellows sealed globe valves are used as stop valves. Stop valves are
designed only for shutting off and opening the path of flow.
Stem sealing is performed by a flexible bellows and an additional protecting gland.
Bellows sealed valves are provided with cast markings according to the requirements
of the PN-EN19 standard. The markings facilitate technical identification and contain:
・ nominal diameter DN (mm),
heat number
・ nominal pressure PN (bar),
・ body and bonnet material,
・ arrow indicating medium flow direction,
・ manufacturer,
・ heat number,
・ CE marking, for products subject to the
97/23/EC directive. CE marking starts from
DN32
2. Requirements for Maintenance Staff
The staff assigned to assembly, operation and maintenance tasks should be qualified
to carry out such jobs. If the valve is provided with mechanical actuators, the operating
manual of the actuator should be obeyed. During operation parts of the valve, for
example the handwheel, cover, or body, may become hot and the user should take
appropriate measures to prevent burns.
3. Transport and Storage
Transport and storage should be carried out at
temperatures between -20 and 65 °C. Valves
should be protected against the influence of
external forces and destruction of the paint
layer as well. The aim of the paint layer is to
protect the valves against rust during transport
and storage. Valves should be kept in clean,
dry rooms and protected against the influence
of atmospheric conditions. A drying agent or
heating should be applied in damp rooms to
prevent condensate formation. The valves should be transported in such a way as to
avoid handwheel and valve stem damage.
Do not fit lifting devices to connecting holes or handwheel.

4. Function
BE8H series valves are designed to shut off the medium flow. The type of working
medium may make some materials unsuitable for use. Valves are designed for normal
working conditions. Working pressure is related to the maximum temperature of the
medium as shown in the table below.

7. Installation
During the installation of the Bellows Sealed Valve the following steps should be
observed:
・ Visually inspect the valve initially to ensure it is undamaged and also ensure that it
is suited to the medium and working conditions used in the plant.
・ Remove dust caps if supplied.
・ Protect the valve during installation from debris and excessive temperature
conditions.
・ Steam pipelines should be fitted in such a way as to avoid condensate collection; in
order to avoid water hammer, a steam trap should be installed.
TEG-BE8H-M-00 20 August 2013

The pipeline where the valve is fitted should be arranged in such a way that
the valve body is not subjected to any bending or stretching forces.
Bolted joints on the pipeline must not cause additional stress resulting from
excessive tightening, and fastener materials must comply with the working
conditions of the plant,
・ The valve stem should be protected during pipeline painting.
・ The valve can be installed in any position, however it is recommended to install it
with the handwheel upwards.
Take note of the medium flow direction, marked with an arrow on the body.
Flow direction is established by the followings rules:
BE8H-16 / BE8H-25 BE8H-40
Stop valve Stop valve
PN16 – PN25 PN40
Under the disc DN15 – DN150 DN15 – DN100
On the disc DN200 DN125 – DN150
・ Before plant startup, especially after repairs are
carried out, flush out the pipeline through the fully
open valve, in order to discharge solid particles or
Flow under the

welding splinters which may be harmful for sealing surfaces.
・ A strainer (wire mesh filter) installed before the valve increases the certainty of
correct operation.
8. Maintenance
open shut off
During maintenance the following rules should be observed:
・ Startup process – Sudden changes of pressure and
temperature should be avoided when starting the plant.
・ The valve is closed by turning the handwheel clockwise
when looking down from above the handwheel (according
to the arrow direction marked on the handwheel).
・ The valve is opened by turning the handwheel
counter-clockwise.
Do not use any additional lever when turning the handwheel
・ The performance of fitted valves can be checked by repeated closing and opening.
・ If leakage occurs from the valve stem, it is necessary
to tighten gland nut compressing the gland seal with
moderate force until the leakage stops.
Tighten the nutTighten the nut
Leakage on the gland means that the bellows
has been damaged.
The upper part of the valve should be
replaced immediately

9. Service and Repair
For safety assurance, each valve should be surveyed and maintenance
carried out regularly especially for those which are used rarely. The
frequency of these activities should be determined by the user on the basis
of working (operating) conditions, nevertheless they should be done at least
once a month. The stem thread must also be lubricated periodically.
All service and repair jobs should be carried out by authorized staff using suitable tools
and original spare parts. Before removing the valve from the pipeline, or before service,
the pipeline should be out of operation. During service and repair jobs it is necessary to
decrease pressure to 0 bars, valve temperature to ambient temperature and to use
appropriate personal protective gear at all times. After valve removal it is necessary to
replace the flange connection gaskets between the valve and pipeline.
Precautions should be taken when touching the gasket between the body and
the valve bonnet. The gasket contains a metal core which may cause injury,
Every time the valve bonnet is disassembled the sealing surfaces should be cleaned.
During assembly a new gasket of the same type as previously used should be applied.
Body-bonnet bolt connections should be tightened when the valve is in the open
position. The bolts should be tightened evenly and crosswise using a torque wrench.

・ Before re-installing the valves in the pipeline it is necessary to check valve
operation, and tightness of all connections. A tightness test should be carried out
with a water pressure of 1.5 times the nominal pressure of the valve.
10. Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting the valve, all safety rules should be strictly obeyed
