messages and safety instructions. Keystone butterfly valves are delivered with protection in accordance with the Keystone
Engineering Instructions, to protect the valve seats and disc from damage. Wrapping and/or

should be inspected on a regular basis. The transportation of all packed material should be carried out safely and according the local
safety regulations.

protecting the machined surfaces and seat to avoid damage.
When lifting the large dimension valves, the sling and the hooking of the load must be carried
out by using the appropriate tools (brackets, hook, fasteners) and load balancing tools in
order to prevent the valves from falling or moving during the lifting and handling.
The valve may be lifted only by slings attached to the flange holes or valve body; never to the
actuator or the valve opening.

2. Installation

WARNING!
For safety reasons, it is important to take the following precautions before you start work on the valve:
1. Personnel making any adjustments to the valves should utilize suitable equipment. All
required personal protection means should be worn.
2. The line must be depressurized before installing the valve.
3. Personnel trained in all aspects of manual and mechanical handling techniques must carry
out handling of the valves.
4. Misuse of the valve is not allowed. For example: the valve, handles, actuators or other parts
may not be used as “climbing tools”.
5. Ensure that valve pressure/temperature limitations marked on the identification tag are within
the service conditions. The trim number on the valve’s tagplate identifies the valve materials.
See Product Manual for valve specific P/T diagram and trim number definition.
6. Ensure that valve materials are compatible with the pipeline fluid.

2.1 Valve inspection

1. Carefully remove the valve from the shipping package (box or pallet) avoiding any damage
to the valve or, in case of automated valves, to the electric or pneumatic/hydraulic actuator
or instrumentation.
2. Confirm that the materials of construction listed on the valve nameplate are appropriate for
the service intended and are as specified.
3. It is not allowed to use third party spare parts. In case of third party spare parts, safe
operation is not guaranteed.
2.2 Flange and pipe compatibility
Check matching of flange drilling pattern of valve and pipe before assembly.
Flanges have to meet the following requirements:
- The face inside diameter should be:
D min. : The valve Q-dimension + adequate disc clearance.
D max. : The inside diameter (ID) of standard pipe for the nominal size ISO 4200.
- If the flange (or pipe) is provided with a raised face, the diameter of this shall be at least
8 mm larger than the YY-dimension of the valve.
D max./min.

The use of the flange-gaskets is not allowed since it might damage the valve.
The Keystone seat-face design eliminates the need for the gaskets.
Use flange bolting in agreement with appropriate standard.

Do not use flange gaskets!

Installation & Maintenance Instructions

2.3 Valve installation

The valves are bi-directional and may be fitted in either direction relative to the flow. The valve
will control flow equally in either direction. The recommended installation position is shaft
horizontal and the lower disc-edge opening down-stream. (Especially for slurry service and
media with a tendency for sedimentation). For optimum valve control and smooth
performance, it is recommended to have a 10 to 20 pipe diameters of straight run inlet piping
and 3 to 5 pipe diameters straight outlet piping.
A valve is no crow-bar. Do not use the valve to spread the flanges. Seat damage might be
the result.
Notes
- The valve can be installed in the pipe-line either with or without the actuator mounted on
top of the valve. Make sure that you can turn the disc cautious so you can feel a mismatch
resulting from a disc touching the adjacent piping.
- Do not use the valve as a support of the pipe line construction.
- Adjacent piping must be positioned so that minimal piping stresses are transmitted to the
valve flanges during or after installation.
- Handling and lifting of the valves during installation MUST be performed following the same
instructions described in previous paragraph “1.3 Handling”.

Important
Mating flange faces should be in good condition and free of dirt and/or inclusions. Both pipe
insides to be well cleaned.

2.3.1. Existing system (see sketch)

1. Check whether the flange distance meets the valve face-to-face dimensions. Spread with
adequate tooling the flanges for easy insertion of the valve.
2. In case of a wafer valve, insert some flange bolts in the pipe flanges, to help you bear the
valve after insertion.
3. Close the valve so far, that the disc-edge is at least 10 mm within the body.
4. Insert the valve between the flanges, center the valve body and insert all flange bolts.
Tighten the flange-bolts hand tight.
5. Slowly open the valve completely. (The disc is in line with parallel flats on stemhead).
6. Maintain the valve flange alignment while gradually removing the flange-spreaders and
tighten the flange-bolts hand tight.
7. Slowly close and open the valve to check for adequate disc clearance.
8. Cross-tighten all bolting to the proper torque. Do not over tighten.

2.3.2. New system (see sketch)

1. With the disc in near-closed position center each mating flange with the valve body.
Fix the body with some flange-bolts and tighten the bolts.
2. Use the flange-valve-flange assembly for fit-up and centering to the pipe.
3. Tack-weld the flanges to the pipe.
4. Remove the bolting and remove the valve from between the flanges.

Important
Do not finish-weld the flanges to the pipe with the valve bolted between the flanges as this
will result in serious heat-damage to the seat.

5. Finish-weld the flanges to the pipe and allow the flanges to cool completely.
6. Install the valve now according to the procedure for installing in existing systems.

2.4. Valve verification

Check the operation of the valve by operating it to “full open” and “full close”. To verify the
valve operation, the disc position indicator on the actuator or the handle should rotate
between the “full open” and “full close” indicators on the actuator or throttle plate. Generally
the valve disc travels clockwise to close.

2.5. Sources of possible danger

This section contains some examples of possible foreseen danger sources.
2.5.1. Mechanical
When manual operators are used, available space should be checked in order to avoid
hands being clamped.
2.5.2. Electrical
If static charges can initiate explosions, the valve should be grounded.
2.5.3. Thermal
If the valve is used in applications with a fluid temperature above 40°C the outside of the
body might be hot. Sufficient measurements should be taken to avoid burning.
A manual operated valve should be opened and closed with sufficient protection for the
personnel operating the valve. For example: protecting gloves.
2.5.4. Operational
Closing a valve too fast may result in waterhammer in the upstream part of the pipeline.
Waterhammer results in excessive stresses in the valve and will cause severe damage.
Waterhammer should be avoided in all circumstances.
Due to differential pressure across the valve disc, butterfly valves have the tendency to be
closed by the flow. Take care when unlatching the valve operating mechanism.

2.6 Troubleshooting guide

Installation & Maintenance Instructions

3. Maintenance
The Keystone butterfly valves figure 320 are designed to require a minimum of maintenance.

WARNING!
Depressurize and, if necessary in case of dangerous fluids, drain the line and flush with
appropriate cleaning fluid before starting any maintenance. Failure to do so may cause serious
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Before disassembling the valve, ensure the valve has been decontaminated correctly from any
harmful gasses or liquids and that it is within a safe temperature range for handling.
Personnel making any adjustments to the valves should utilize suitable equipment. All required
personal protection means should be worn.
Only personnel trained in all aspects of manual and mechanical handling techniques must
carry out handling of all valves.
3.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance or lubrication is not required other than periodic inspection to ensure
satisfactory operation and sealing.

3.2 Removing the valve

1. Turn the disc to nearly closed position. (The disc is in line with the parallel flats in the stem).
2. Loosen all flange bolts and remove the bolts.
3. Spread the flanges with adequate tooling, and remove the valve.

3.3 Valve disassembly

Disassembly is not possible. The shafts are press-fitted into the disc during the production at
factory.
