INSTALLATION


METAL TO METAL SEATED VALVES

 Perform installation welding in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Sec. I, Part PW, or ANSI B31.1 Para 127.

   IMPORTANT:

A.  DO NOT DISASSEMBLE VALVE. Valve must be assembled and tightly closed during welding to protect seat from heat distortion and weld splatter.
B.  Allow 1/16" gap between bottom of socket, or butt weld end, and end of pipe (PW 41.5.7, or ANSI B31.1 Para 127.3.3).
C.  Preheat per Table 1.

C.  Follow INSTALLATION section above,  A through C.
D.  Follow steps A and B to put in Soft Seated Stem Assembly.
