Principle of Operation

The ball and machined body combine to create smooth transitioning flow geometry which enables efficient flow

through the valve. The drive shaft and follower shaft center the ball in the flow stream to minimize dynamic torque

and permit easy ball rotation.

The ball rotates counterclockwise out of the seal to a standard open rotation of 90 degrees. The ball is cammed into

the seal to create an effective seal. The drive linkage between the ball and shaft has been designed for minimal lost

motion using a “spline connection” on the shaft and ball.

Installation

Key numbers in installation procedures are shown in figure 18 unless otherwise indicated.

WARNING

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal

injury.

Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed

where service conditions could exceed either the valve body rating or the mating pipe flange joint rating. To avoid such

injury or damage, provide a relief valve for overpressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes

and good engineering practices.

Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media. If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in

this instruction manual.

Instruction Manual

D103565X012

SS-264 Valve

September 2021

WARNING

When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,

pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve

materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end‐user. To avoid possible personal injury and because

some valve/trim material combinations are limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not apply any other

conditions to the valve without first contacting your Emerson sales office.

WARNING

The valve drive shaft is not necessarily grounded to the pipeline when installed. Personal injury or property damage could

result from an explosion caused by a discharge of static electricity from valve components if the process fluid or the

atmosphere around the valve is flammable. If the atmosphere around the valve or the process fluid is flammable,

electrically bond the drive shaft to the valve.

Note

Standard graphite packing is composed of all conductive graphite ribbon packing. Alternate shaft‐to‐valve body bonding is

available for hazardous service areas where the standard packing is not sufficient to bond the shaft to the valve.

1. If the valve is to be stored before installation, protect the buttweld ends and keep the valve body cavity dry and free

of foreign material.

2. The valve is normally shipped as part of a control valve assembly, with an actuator mounted on the valve. If the

valve and actuator have been purchased separately or if the actuator has been removed, mount the actuator

according to the Actuator Mounting section.

3. Standard flow direction is forward flow, spherical face of the ball is upstream.

4. Install the valve in a horizontal pipeline with the drive shaft in the vertical position.

5. The actuator is counterclockwise to open with the shaft in a vertical orientation as shown in figure 1. If necessary,

refer to the appropriate actuator instruction manual for actuator installation and adjustment procedures.

CAUTION

Ensure the valve and adjacent pipelines are free of foreign material that could damage the valve seating surfaces.

6. Be certain the valve and adjacent pipelines are free of any foreign material that could damage the valve sealing

surfaces.

7. Be sure the pipelines are in line with each other.

8. Use accepted pipeline piping and welding practices when installing the valve in the pipeline.

9. Connect pressure lines to the actuator.

WARNING

Personal injury could result from packing leakage. Valve packing was tightened before shipment; however the packing

might require some readjustment to meet specific service conditions. Check with your process or safety engineer for any

additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

10. Verify that gap “A”, in figure 4, is closed before pressurizing the pipeline.

CAUTION

Care must be taken when lifting the valve/actuator assembly to ensure the accessories and tubing are not damaged in the

process. The entire NPS 14 assembly with accessories weighs approximately 3656 kg (8060 lb) and the entire NPS 16

assembly with accessories weighs approximately 3597 kg (7930 lb). Make sure to use appropriate lifting

straps/eyebolts/hoists capable of lifting this weight.

Lifting Valve/Actuator Assembly

To lift the assembly, insert 1-1/4-7 UNC swivel hoist rings into the four lifting hole locations on the outside diameter of

the bonnet flange. The lifting point must be high enough away from the top of the accessory mountings to prevent

damage to accessories or piping. The hbeam illustrated in figure 2 is adjustable axially along the pipe run in order to

lift at the center of gravity (CG) of the assembly. Two adjustable length chains on one side of the valve body ensure the

assembly is lifted vertically. Refer to the appropriate drawing for the CG of your assembly.

Lifting Actuator Only

WARNING

Do NOT attempt to lift the actuator while attached to the bonnet or valve body as this will damage components and could

cause bodily harm.

Instruction Manual

D103565X012

SS-264 Valve

September 2021

To lift the actuator, choke two straps, one around the spring barrel and one around the air cylinder, and connect to an

adjustable chain leveler. The chain leveler ensures the actuator and bonnet mating surfaces are parallel prior to

removal or installation. Proper alignment of the actuator and bonnet is critical to prevent binding of the shaft and

actuator. If accessories are not removed prior to lifting, use care to keep straps or chains away from piping and

accessories.

Alternatively, if the four actuator lifting lugs are accessible, chains can be used to lift the actuator. Similarly, the

actuator and bonnet mating surfaces must remain parallel.

Lifting Bonnet Only

To lift the bonnet, insert 1-1/4-7 UNC swivel hoist rings into the four lifting hole locations on the outside diameter of

the bonnet flange. Use proper length, or adjustable chains to ensure the bonnet and valve body mating surfaces

remain parallel when hoisted.

Lifting Valve Only

To lift the valve, insert two 2-1/2-8 swivel hoist rings, diametrically opposed and on opposite sides of the valve body

run, into the bodytobonnet bolt circle. An alternative to the swivel hoist rings is to use an internal thread lifting ring

which can be threaded onto the existing 2-1/2-8 studs (key 10).

Lifting Ball/Shaft Assembly

To lift the ball/shaft assembly, install the lifting plate (GE48210) and 5/811x1.50 cap screw (not provided) as shown in

figure 3. Align the lifting plate edge with the keyway groove of the shaft; this will position the lifting end of the plate

over the ball. Torque the cap screw to 163 N•m (120 ft•bf). Install a 1/2-13 eye bolt into the lifting end of the plate

and torque to 92 N•m (68 ft•lbf). Lift the ball/shaft assembly vertically out of the body, being careful not to damage

the sealing surface of the ball.

Maintenance

Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection

and replacement depends upon the severity of service conditions.

The open and closed travel stops of the actuator do not require adjustment unless the bonnettobody joint is

loosened. If the actuator is removed for packing replacement, simply remount the actuator per the Actuator Mounting

section of this manual. If the bonnettobody joint is loosened for any reason, establish the zero position per the

Determining Closed Position section of this manual.

Key numbers in this procedure are shown in figure 18, unless otherwise noted.

WARNING

The ball closes with a shearing, cutting motion, which could result in personal injury. To avoid injury, keep hands, tools, and

other objects away from the ball while stroking the valve.

Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:

D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the

actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.

Instruction Manual

D103565X012

SS-264 Valve

September 2021

D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure

from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.

D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.

D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations.

D The valve packing area may contain process fluids that are pressurized. Process fluids may spray out under pressure

when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

Packing Maintenance

Key numbers in this procedure are shown in figures 15 and 18 unless otherwise noted. A detailed view of the packing is

also shown in figure 4.

Refer to the Parts List section of this manual for individual parts.

If the packing is relatively new and tight on the drive shaft (key 8), and if tightening the packing nuts (key 16) does not

stop leakage, it is possible that the drive shaft is worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. If the leakage comes

from the outside diameter of the packing, it is possible that the leakage is caused by nicks or scratches on the packing

box wall. Inspect the drive shaft and packing box wall for nicks or scratches while performing the following procedure.

Replacing Packing

The open and closed travel stops of the actuator do not require adjustment unless the bonnettobody joint is

loosened. If the actuator is removed for packing replacement, simply remount the actuator per the Actuator Mounting

section of this manual.

Disassembly

WARNING

Observe the steps in the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section.

1. Remove the actuator from the bonnet by removing the eight cap screws (key 18).

2. Remove the yoke key (key 103), coupler (key 102), and square key (key 15) from the drive shaft.

3. Loosen and remove packing nuts (key 16), packing flange (key 5), Belleville springs (key 6A), and the stop flange
