1 GENERAL

1.1 Scope of the manual

This manual provides essential information on series GW,

Globe 3-way Diverting or Mixing type installed sliding stem

valves. Actuators and positioners are only discussed briefly.

Refer to the individual manuals for further information on

their installation, operation and maintenance.

1.2 Valve construction

Series GW valves are flanged (weld end available) 3-way

sliding stem control valves. Two seat rings and the plug

with stem is a module accessible through the bottom bon-

net opening (bottom entry) of the body.

GW valves are available both diverting and mixing flow for

a most primary application is in temperature control.

Our standard design combines the benefits of more strong

guiding with a top and bottom seat rings, and the solid cylin-

drical plug makes strong support to ensure valve alignment.

GW valves are available both cylindrical and V-port plug trim

depending from the application, standard is cylindrical plug.

This series are available to provide a series of reduced trim

and the standard seat tightness is class II, optional trims can

meet to class III and IV, ANSI/FCI 70.2.

The detailed structure is revealed by the type code shown

on the valve identification plate. The type code is explained

in Section 11.

1.3 Valve markings

The body markings are: manufacturer's trademark, nominal

size, pressure rating and material of the body. The valve has

an identification plate attached to it, see Fig. 2.

Markings on the identification plate:

1. Type designation (Valve code)

2. Size, Rating

3. Cv

4. Body material

5. Plug, Stem material

6. Seat material

7. Temp. min./max.

8. Maximum (shut-off) pressure

9. Valve manufacturing date

10. Tag No.

11. Serial No.

NOTE:

Selection and use of the valve in a specific application

requires close consideration of detailed aspects. Due to the

nature of the product, this manual cannot cover all the indi-

vidual situations that may occur when the valve is used.

If you are uncertain about use of the valve or its suitability

for your intended purpose, please contact Metso Automa-

tion for more information.

you must also check the noise level, cavitation intensity, flow

velocity, actuator load factor, etc. using Nelprof.

1.5 Valve seat leakage class

The valve follows the seat leakage classifications of ANSI/

FCI 70-2 requirement.

1.6 Recycling and disposal

Most valve parts can be recycled if sorted according to

material. Most parts have a material marking. A material list

is supplied with the valve. In addition, separate recycling

and disposal instructions are available from the manufac-

turer. A valve can also be returned to the manufacturer for

recycling and disposal for a fee.

1.7 Safety precautions

2 TRANSPORTATION, RECEPTION AND

STORAGE

Check the valve and the accompanying devices for any

damage that may have occurred during transport.

Store the valve carefully before installation, preferably

indoors in a dry place.

CAUTION:

Do not exceed the valve performance limitations!

Exceeding the limitations marked on the valve may cause

damage and lead to uncontrolled pressure release. Dam-

age or personal injury may result.

CAUTION:

Do not dismantle the valve or remove it from the pipe-

line while the valve is pressurised!

Dismantling or removing a pressurised valve will result in

uncontrolled pressure release. Always isolate the relevant

part of the pipeline, release the pressure from the valve

and remove the medium before dismantling the valve.

Be aware of the type of medium involved. Protect yourself

and the environment from any harmful or poisonous sub-

stances. Make sure that no medium can enter the pipeline

during valve maintenance.

Failure to do this may result in damage or personal injury.

CAUTION:

Beware of the plug movement!

Keep fingers, other parts of the body, tools and other

objects out of the open flow port. Leave no foreign

objects inside the pipeline. When the valve is actuated,

the plug functions as a cutting device. Close and detach

the actuator pressure supply pipeline for valve mainte-

nance. Failure to do this may result in damage or personal

injury.

CAUTION:

Protect yourself from noise!

The valve may produce noise in the pipeline. The noise

level depends on the application. It can be measured or

calculated using the Metso Nelprof software. Observe the

relevant working environment regulations in terms of

noise emission.

CAUTION:

Beware of a very cold or hot valve!

The valve body may be very cold or very hot during use.

Protect yourself against cold injuries or burns.

CAUTION:

When handling the valve or the control valve assem-

bly, take its weight into account!

Never lift the valve or control valve assembly by the posi-

tioner, the limit switch or their piping.

Place the lifting ropes securely around the valve body (see

Fig. 3). Damage or personal injury may result from falling

parts.

Fig. 3 Lifting the valve

4 GV 74 en 5

Do not remove the flow port protectors until immediately

before installation of the valve into the pipeline.

The valve is delivered in the closed position. A valve

equipped with a spring-return actuator is delivered in the

position determined by the spring.

3 VALVE INSTALLATION

3.1 General

Remove the flow port protectors and check that the valve is

clean inside.

3.2 Installation into the pipeline

Make sure no foreign particles, such as sand or pieces of

welding electrode, are in the pipeline, they may damage

the sealing surfaces.

The valve has an arrow indicating the flow direction. Install

the valve in the pipeline so that the flow direction of the

valve corresponds to the flow direction marked on the pipe.

The mounting orientation of the valve does not restrict the

operation of the valve, actuator or positioner. You should,

however, avoid installing the valve so that the shaft points

downwards as impurities in the fluid may enter and dam-

age the gland packing. Any leak from the packing may then

damage the actuator. See Fig. 6.

Choose flange gaskets according to the operating condi-

tions.

Do not attempt to correct a pipeline misalignment by

means of flange bolting.

Loads on the valve body from pipeline vibrations can be

reduced by supporting the pipeline properly. Reduced

vibration also increases the lifetime of the positioner.

Where necessary, you can support the valve by the body,

using regular pipe clamps and supports. Do not fasten sup-

ports to the valve or flange bolting or to the actuator, see

Fig. 4.

3.3 Control valve assembly

Check all joints, piping and cables.

Check that the actuator stop screws, positioner and limit

switches are calibrated. Refer to their installation, mainte-

nance and operating manuals.

3.4 Valve insulation

If necessary, the valve may be insulated. Insulation must not

continue above the upper level of the valve body, see Fig. 5.

4 MAINTENANCE

4.1 General

The Neles series GW 3-way valves require no regular main-

tenance. However, check the gland packing for leakage.

This section outlines the maintenance that can be carried

out by the user.

The numbers in parentheses refer to the parts lists and the

exploded views of the valve in Section 9.

CAUTION:

When handling the valve or the control valve assem-

bly, take its weight into account!

supports

Fig. 5 Insulation of the valve

CAUTION:

Observe the safety precautions listed in Section 1.7

before starting work!

CAUTION:

When handling the valve or the control valve assem-

bly, take its weight into account!

NOTE:

If you send the valve to the manufacturer for repair, do not

dismantle it. Clean the valve carefully, including the inside.

For safety reasons, inform the manufacturer of the nature

of the medium when you send the valve.

NOTE:

Always use original spare parts to make sure the valve

functions as intended.

5 TESTING THE VALVE We recommend that the valve body is pressure-tested after

the valve has been assembled.

The pressure test should be carried out in accordance with

an applicable standard for the pressure rating. The valve

must be in the open position during the test.

CAUTION:

Do not strongly tighten hexagon nuts (17) at this time.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the spiral wound gaskets (65), this is

need to be replace each time the valve is disassemb-

led.

CAUTION:

The all related parts (seat ring, plug & stem, bonnet)

must be properly aligned in the body.

NOTE:

If the valve have excess leakage, the plug and seating sur-

face need lapping and cleaning.
