1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure,
release pressure from both sides of the valve body,
and drain the process media from both sides of the
valve. If continuous operation is required during
inspection or maintenance, install a three-valve
bypass around the control valve assembly.

2. Be certain the pipeline flanges are in line with
each other and supported.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging valve seating
surfaces, make sure the adjacent
piping is free of pipe scale, welding
slag, and any other damaging material.
3. Inspect the valve body to be sure it is free of
foreign material. Make sure the adjacent piping is
free of pipe scale, welding slag, and any other
material that could damage valve seating surfaces.
4. Measure to be sure the distance between the
pipeline flanges is approximately 1/4 inch greater
than the valve face-to-face dimension. This will
ensure easy installation without distorting the liner
(figure 3).
5. For conventional discs, flow may be in either
direction; for Fishtail discs, flow must be such that
the tail of the disc (as shown in figure 2) will rotate
into the downstream side of the valve.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging valve parts,
observe the following precautions
before inserting the valve in the line.
a. The inside diameter of the mating piping or
flanges must be large enough to allow the valve
disc to rotate freely into the upstream and
downstream piping, or the disc could be
damaged. Do not use piping or flanges having an
inside diameter smaller than the minimum shown
in table 3.
b. The inside of the mating flange must also be
small enough to be in full contact with the partial
O-rings on the liner faces. Leakage through the
flange connections and damage to the liner could
