I. PHYSICAL DATA
A. Lubricants
1. Thread lubricant, API-5A-Lub, Fel-Pro Paste #670, or Sweeney Paste #503 (4-lb can
P/N 2359663-01).
2. Multi-purpose lubricant or grease.
3. Multi-purpose lubricant or grease for cold weather operation.
4. Hydraulic operating system:
a. Storage - P/N 718100 (Marston Bentley Preservation Fluid).
b. Standard Operation - Use a fresh water lubricant that forms a true solution
rather than an emulsion when mixed with water and/or antifreeze.
B. Dimensional Drawings
1. Lift BOP assemblies only with slings appropriately rated for the maximum weight of
the BOP.
2. Handle all other subassemblies using appropriately rated slings.
1. NPT Size for Open and Close Ports: 1-1/2”-11-1/2” NPT (Standard Offering)
(Other interfaces may be available upon request. Check with engineering.)
H. Torque Specifications
I. API Drift
A. Packer/Donut Assembly
1. The annular BOP does not depend upon wellbore pressure to close the packer.
2. Closing pressure must be maintained to the operating system to hold the packer in
the closed position.
3. This independence of wellbore pressure gives the operator control of the rubber
pressure on the pipe, reduces packer extrusion, and can significantly increase
packer life when the BOP is used for stripping.
1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the closing chamber to force the piston and the
pusher plate upward against the donut.
2. The pusher plate squeezes the donut, forcing the donut to expand inward.
3. The inward displacement of the donut forces the packer inward toward the center
of the bore.
1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the opening chamber to force the piston and pusher
plate downward.
2. As pusher plate is withdrawn, the donut returns to its relaxed shape, allowing
packer to return to its fully open position.
B. BOP Disassembly
1. Clean the outside of the BOP body (item 1). Use high pressure water and detergent
to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
2. Make sure the BOP is fully open. Apply opening pressure and allow pressure to
build up to the regulator pressure and make sure that the packer is completely
open.
3. Remove and bleed all operating pressure.
TC9598 2-75
DRILLING SYSTEMS
4. Vent the operating system. Remove the plugs from the unused open and close
ports on the BOP body. This will eliminate the possibility of accidental operation of
the BOP once the quick-release top is unlocked.
5. Inspect the top trash seal (item 16). If the seal is damaged, it should be replaced as
soon as possible, to keep mud and debris out of the mechanism of the quick-release
top (item 2).
6. Open the access flaps on the top trash seal (item 16). Clean out the cavity around
the head of each actuator screw. Do not reuse the grease removed from these
cavities.
7. Grease the actuator screws (item 11). Inject a molybdenum disulfide or graphite-
loaded grease fitting in the head of each actuator screw, until grease is forced up
through the threads and comes out underneath the head of the actuator screw.
8. To prepare for the removal of the quick-release top (item 2), install eye bolts in the
tapped holes in the top.
9. Using two wrenches, operate the actuator screws (item 11) in pairs of two adjacent
(not opposite) screws, alternately lifting first one side of the actuator ring and then
the other. Turn each actuator screw counterclockwise, a few turns at a time, or
until the screw starts to bind. A socket wrench with a 12-inch handle works well for
turning these screws.
10. When the actuator screws can no longer be turned using a wrench with a 12-inch
handle, the actuator ring (item 10) has reached its uppermost position, and the
quick-release top should be fully unlocked.
11. Clean out the vent ports using a stiff wire or rod. Attach lifting chains to the lifting
eyes in the top and lift the quick-release top out of the BOP body. If the top is
pulled at an angle instead of straight out, the top may bind in the BOP body.
TC9598 2-76
DRILLING SYSTEMS
12. Set the quick-release top (item 2) down on a flat, clean surface.
13. Remove and inspect the top trash seal (item 16), being careful not to damage the
seal.
14. Remove the actuator ring stop screws (item 37).
15. To remove the actuator ring/lock ring assembly, install eye bolts in the tapped holes
in the actuator ring (item 10), and lift the assembly off the quick-release top.
16. Pull each actuator screw (item 11) from its slotted recess in the actuator ring (item
10). Remove the pair of actuator screw bearings (item 17) from each actuator screw.
DO NOT remove the grease fitting from the head of the actuator screw unless it is
damaged.
17. Remove and inspect the top ID (item 66) and top OD (item 67) seal rings.
18. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the top of the packer, attach lifting chains,
and lift the packer out of the BOP body. If the donut does not come out with the
packer, use a pry bar to lift the donut in order to get a lifting strap around the
donut.
19. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the support plate (item 15) and remove it
from the BOP.
20. Remove the outer cylinder lock ring (item 14).
TC9598 2-77
DRILLING SYSTEMS
21. Remove the outer cylinder lock segments (item 13). Use a pry bar or a long flat
head screwdriver to assist in the removal of the lock segments.
22. Use an air wrench to remove the inner cylinder nuts (item 31).
23. Remove the pusher plate screws (item 36).
24. Install lifting eyes into the pusher plate (item 6) and remove it from the BOP.
25. Apply low pressure hydraulic fluid (up to 300 psi) to the BOP close port. Release the
pressure as soon as the seal leaks.
26. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the inner cylinder (item 4).
Attach lifting chains and lift the operating system out of the BOP body (item 1).
1. If the pusher plate (item 6) has not been removed, remove the pusher plate screws
(item 36) and then lift the pusher plate (item 6) off the piston (item 3).
2. Install lift shackles into the threaded holes for the pusher plate screws in the top of
the piston (item 3).
3. Raise the operating system and install lift shackles into the holes in the bottom of
the piston (item 3).
4. Position and secure the operating system in such a way that the operating system
will be on a flat level surface and also provide a means to use the shackles on the
bottom of the piston secure it to a fixed surface or heavy object.
5. Secure the piston (item 3) via the shackles on the bottom of the piston so it cannot
move vertically.
6. Remove the lift shackles from the top of the piston.
7. Install lift shackles to the top of the outer cylinder.
8. Install straps/chains to the shackles in the outer cylinder.
9. Lift outer cylinder off of the piston and set aside on a flat surface.
10. Install lift shackles to the top of the inner cylinder.
11. Install straps/chains to the shackles in the inner cylinder.
12. Lift the inner cylinder off of the piston and set aside on a flat surface.
13. Remove all seals and wear bands from the piston, inner cylinder and outer cylinder.
14. Inspect all grooves and surfaces for defects and address issues as appropriate.
TC9598 2-78
DRILLING SYSTEMS
3. Sealed elastomer containers should not be opened until they are required for
assembly. This is to prevent contamination and damage to the seals.
1. Place quick-release top (item 2) on a pallet with the flange stud holes looking up.
2. Assuming actuator screw inserts (item 12) were removed, apply anti-seize to the
outside threads of the four actuator screw inserts and install them into the tapped
holes of the quick-release top until the top of insert is flush with the top of the
hole. The top of each insert is slotted to allow the insert to be turned with a
screwdriver blade.
3. Apply anti-seize to the threads of the four insert retaining screws (item 45). Install
the insert retaining screws and tighten them securely with an Allen wrench.
4. Apply a light coat of grease to the outside surface (the teeth) of the split lock ring
(item 9) and apply a heavy coat of grease to the inside surface of the split lock ring.
Also, completely fill the axial grooves on the inside of the ring.
5. Position actuator ring (item 10) inside the split lock ring (item 9).
6. Install actuator screws (item 11) into the actuator ring (item 10) by first suspending
the actuator ring/lock ring assembly above the quick-release top (item 2). Apply
grease to the threads of actuator screws and to actuator screw bearings (item 17).
Install a bearing on the top side and another on the bottom side of actuator screw
head. Slide each actuator screw into its recess in actuator ring.
7. Install actuator ring/lock ring assembly on the quick-release top (item 2). Slowly
lower actuator ring/lock ring assembly into place on the quick-release top until
actuator screws can be started in the threads of actuator screw inserts.
8. When all four actuator screws (item 11) are started (at least two threads) in the
actuator screw inserts (item 12) without binding, remove lifting chains.
9. Using two wrenches, operate actuator screws (item 11) in pairs of two adjacent
(NOT OPPOSITE) screws, alternately lowering first one side of actuator ring and
then the other. Turn each screw clockwise, a few turns at a time, or until the screw
starts to bind. A socket wrench with a 12” handle works well for turning these
screws.
10. Using actuator screws (item 11), lower actuator ring (item 10) approximately 1” so
actuator ring stop screws (item 37) can be installed.
11. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of actuator stop screws (item 37) and
seat all four screws fully before tightening any of them.

I. Final Assembly
1. Lubricate the inside of the BOP body by applying a light coat of light clean oil.
2. Apply a light coat of grease or light machine oil to the teeth of the lock ring and
the lower surface of the quick-release top.
3. Lubricate the OD and ID of the donut (item 7) with a light coat of grease. Make
certain the donut is installed top side up. The word “TOP” is molded into the
rubber and the top side of the donut has a long, smooth bevel on the OD. Use a
fabric sling to lift the donut into the BOP.
4. Attach eye bolts to the top of the inserts on the packer. Attach lifting chains to the
eye bolts. Lift the packer into the BOP and position the packer inside the donut.
Make sure the packer is installed top side up.
5. Lower the assembled quick-release top into the BOP body.
6. Lock the quick-release top with the actuator screws. The quickest and easiest way
to lock the quick-release top is to use two wrenches.
7. Operate the actuator screws in pairs of two adjacent (NOT OPPOSITE) screws,
alternately lowering first one side of the actuator ring and then the other.
TC9598 2-83
DRILLING SYSTEMS
8. Turn each actuator screw clockwise, a few turns at a time, or until the screw starts
to bind. A socket wrench with a 12-inch handle works well for turning these screws.
9. When the actuator screws can no longer be turned with the 12-inch wrench, the
actuator ring should be in its lowermost position. When the actuator ring is in this
position, the teeth of the lock ring are fully engaged in the locking grooves of the
BOP body, and the upper surface of the top trash seal is approximately flush with
the upper surface of the quick-release top. The quick-release top is now locked.
10. Grease the actuator screws with molybdenum disulfide or graphite-loaded grease
in the grease fitting.
11. Pack the cavity around the head of each actuator screw with clean grease.
12. Close the access flaps of the top trash seal.
13. Reinstall the pipe plugs which were removed to vent the operating system. Use TFE
thread-sealing tape on the plugs.
14. Verify operation of the BOP.
V. OPERATION PROCEDURES
A. Normal Operation
TC9598 2-84
DRILLING SYSTEMS
1. Before stripping pipe through the closed BOP, make certain the hydraulic control
system and the control piping conforms to the following requirements:
a. A nitrogen-precharged surge bottle of 10 gallon capacity
b. A pneumatically-controlled or hydraulically-controlled self-relieving pressure
regulator
c. A control valve of the non-check type.
2. Stripping Procedure
a. Check the surge bottle precharge pressure. A 10-gal (37.9 liters) surge bottle,
TC9598 2-85
DRILLING SYSTEMS
precharged to a pressure of 300 to 400 psi (20.7-27.6 bars), will normally give
proper stripping performance with all annular sizes.
b. Open the valve between the surge bottle and the BOP closing line.
c. Vent the opening chamber by removing the pipe plug from the unused opening
port.
d. Keep the packer lubricated while stripping to prevent excessive wear. Do not
move dry pipe through the packer, except in an emergency.
e. When stripping out of the hole, leakage of well fluid (if other than dry gas) will
provide adequate lubrication.
f. When stripping into the well, apply lubricant to the pipe, and especially to the
tool joints or couplings. Suitable lubricants, in order of preference, are:
1.) Oil
2.) Oil-Base Drilling Mud
3.) Water-Base Drilling Mud
4.) Water with Gel
5.) Plain Water
g. Control the closing pressure by using the lowest practical closing pressure when
stripping.
h. Reduce the closing pressure until well fluid leaks slightly between the pipe and
the packer while the pipe is in motion. This leakage lubricates the packer, thus
reducing packer wear.
i. If the packer is closed tightly enough to eliminate all leakage, packer wear will
be greatly increased. The graph below shows the approximate closing pressure
required to seal a given bore pressure when stripping.
j. As a new packer begins to wear
during stripping, sealing is SD-10779-99
A. Routine Maintenance
TC9598 2-87

j. Remove the freeze plugs (item 81) from pusher plate (item 6).
5. Reassembly
a. Check tightness of pusher plate screws (item 36) and ensure they are torqued to
190 ft-lb (258 N•m) if using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.07, or 319 ft-lb
(432 N•m) if using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.13.
b. Install the freeze plugs (item 81) into pusher plate (item 6) above each push
plate screw (item 36) and press in until flush with the top surface of pusher
plate.
c. Make certain outer cylinder (item 5) is fully seated.
d. Apply a light coat of grease or light machine oil to the inside of the BOP body
(item 1).
e. Lubricate the teeth of split lock ring (item 9) and lower surface of quick-release
top (item 2).
f. Install support plate (item 15) and wear plate (item 40).
g. Install donut and packer (item 7).
h. Replace and install the quick-release top ID lip seal with sealing lip facing up.

must be up to 1500 psi (103.4 bars) +/- 200 psi (13.8 bars) within five minutes af-
ter moving the control valve to the close position. Less than five minutes would
be preferable.
4. Apply 200 to 300 psi (13.8 to 20.6 bars) wellbore test pressure.
5. After a 200 to 300 psi (27.6 to 41.4 bars) wellbore test pressure has been reached
and has stabilized, hold for a period of 10 minutes.
6. Increase the wellbore pressure to full rated working pressure.
7. After full rated working pressure is reached and has stabilized, hold for a period of
10 minutes.
8. If the packer fails to hold pressure on the first test or develops a tear, discontinue
the test. A new packer must be tested.
9. Bleed bore pressure to zero psi.
10. Check the packer for 13.595" API drift within 30 minutes.
a. The 30-minute time period starts when the operating piston is fully open. This
is the time period when opening pressure builds up and can normally be deter-
mined by watching the BOP open hose.
11. If the packer fails to drift within 30 minutes:
a. Exercise the packer, (open-close cycles if required to achieve full drift). The exer-
cise cycles should be performed immediately one after the other and should not
exceed more than a total of 15 exercise cycles, including exercises performed per
Section VII-B.
b. The 30 minute drift time starts after the last packer exercise (open-close cycle).
D. Operating Cycles
Using 1500 psi (103.4 bars) operating system pressure, open/close the BOP 20 times.
E. Drift Test

1. Open the BOP using 1500 psi (103.4 bars) hydraulic pressure.
2. Drift BOP through bore with a drift of 13.595" in diameter.
VIII. STORAGE
A. Preventer
1. If the BOP is to be stored for a period of a year or longer, the packer and donut
should be removed from the BOP and stored separately, following the packaging
and storage recommendations of Section VIII–B.
2. Clean the outside of the BOP body.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the close port and drain the operating fluid out of
the BOP.
4. Attach a hydraulic line containing only preservation fluid to the close port. Use
Marston Bentley preservation fluid, P/N 718100.
5. Disconnect the bottom open hydraulic port to allow the operating fluid to drain
out of the BOP once closing pressure is applied to the close port.
6. Apply pressure to the closing port, allowing the operating fluid to drain out of the
bottom open port. Once the fluid has completely drained, plug the open port.
7. Apply pressure to the opening port to fill the operating system with the
preservation fluid.
8. Release the pressure, disconnect the hydraulic lines, and install pipe plugs into the
open and close connections.
B. Elastomers

DRILLING SYSTEMS
1. The annular BOP does not depend upon wellbore pressure to close the packer.
2. Closing pressure must be maintained to the operating system to hold the packer in
the closed position.
3. This independence of wellbore pressure gives the operator control of the rubber
pressure on the pipe, reduces packer extrusion, and can significantly increase
packer life when the BOP is used for stripping.
1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the closing chamber to force the piston and the
pusher plate upward against the donut.
2. The pusher plate squeezes the donut, forcing the donut to expand inward.
3. The inward displacement of the donut forces the packer inward toward the center
of the bore.
1. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the opening chamber to force the piston and pusher
plate downward.
2. As the pusher plate is withdrawn, the donut returns to its relaxed shape, allowing
the packer to return to its fully open position.
B. BOP Disassembly
1. Clean the outside of the BOP body (item 1). Use high pressure water and detergent
to clean mud and debris from the outside of the BOP.
2. Make sure the BOP is fully open. Apply opening pressure and allow pressure to
build up to the regulator pressure. Make sure that the packer is completely open.
3. Remove and bleed all operating pressure.
4. Vent the operating system. Remove the plugs from the unused open and close
ports on the BOP body. This will eliminate the possibility of accidental operation of
the BOP once the top is unbolted.
5. Remove the heavy hex nuts (item 45) from the top.
6. Attach the appropriate size lifting shackles to the pad eyes on the side of the top.
Attach lifting chains to the shackles, and lift the bolt on top vertically off the BOP
body. If the top is pulled at an angle instead of straight out, it may bind with the
BOP body.
TC9598 2-95
DRILLING SYSTEMS
9. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the top of the packer, attach lifting chains,
and lift the packer out of the BOP body. If the donut does not come out with the
packer, use a pry bar to lift the donut in order to get a lifting strap around it.
10. Install eye bolts in the tapped holes in the support plate (item 15) and remove it
from the BOP.
11. Remove the socket head cap screws (item 36) from the pusher plate (item 6) and
piston (item 3).
12. Install lifting eyes into the pusher plate (item 6) and remove it from the BOP.
13. Use an air wrench to remove the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) from the inner
cylinder (item 4). The inner cylinder studs (item 30) can be removed now or after
the inner cylinder has been removed.
14. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the inner cylinder (item 4).
Attach lifting chains and lift it out of the BOP body (item 1).
15. Remove the socket head cap screws (item 37) from the outer ring (item 5) and lift
the outer ring out of the body.
16. Install lifting eyes into the tapped holes in the top of the piston (item 3). Attach
lifting chains and lift it out of the BOP body (item 1).
17. Inspect the bearing rings, seals and wiper rings of each component.
TC9598 2-96
DRILLING SYSTEMS
1. Place the top (item 2) on a pallet with the studded connection holes looking up.
2. Using lifting chains, raise the top and install the top ID seal ring (item 65) and the

Install the inner cylinder studs (item 30) in the body (item 1). Make sure the studs are
fully threaded into the body. DO NOT apply a thread lubricant to the threads. This will
help keep the studs from rotating the next time the nuts are removed. See the torque
requirements listed in Section I.
1. Apply a light coat of light weight oil to the OD seals of the piston and to the inner
seal surface of the body.
2. Lower the piston (item 3) into the body (item 1).
1. Apply a light coat of light weight oil to the inner seal surface of the piston, to the
ID seals of the piston, and to the ID seals of the inner cylinder.
2. Keep the inner cylinder level, and make sure the seals do not slip out of the grooves
and become pinched or cut as the inner cylinder slides against the piston and body.
3. Slowly lower the inner cylinder (item 4) into the body (item 1) using the inner
cylinder studs (item 30) as alignment guides. Avoid damaging the stud threads.
4. The weight of the inner cylinder should be sufficient to seat it, if not then the
installation of the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) will seat it. See next step.
5. Screw the inner cylinder nuts (item 31) onto the studs (item 30). Apply a thread
lubricant to the nut threads before installation. See the torque requirements and
thread lubricant recommendations listed in Section I.
1. Apply a light coat of light oil to the inner seal surface of the body (item 1).
2. Place the backup ring (item 57) in the body ID groove. Gently tap the backup ring
in the cavity with a blunt soft tool, such as a piece of wood. For best results, install
a portion of the ring in the groove on one side then move 180° to the other side.
Continue this procedure until the backup ring has bottomed out in its cavity.
3. Place the body ID seal ring (item 65) on top of the previously installed backup ring
(item 57). Gently tap the seal in the cavity with a blunt soft tool, such as a piece of
wood. For best results, install a portion of the seal in the groove on one side then
move 180° to the other side. Continue this procedure until the seal has bottomed
out in its cavity.
4. Lower the outer ring (item 5) down onto the body (item 1) and secure with
socket head cap screws (item 37). Apply a thread lubricant to the threads before
installation. See the torque requirements and thread lubricant recommendations
listed in Section I.
1. Lower the pusher plate (item 6) onto the top of the piston (item 3).
2. Install the socket head cap screws (item 36) into the aligned holes of the pusher
plate and piston. Apply a thread lubricant to the threads before installation. See
the torque requirements and thread lubricant recommendations listed in Section I.
TC9598 2-98
DRILLING SYSTEMS
3. Lower the support plate (item 15) into place inside the pusher plate (item 6). Make
certain the recesses in the underside of the support plate fit down over the inner
cylinder studs (item 30). The support plate should rest evenly on the inner cylinder
nuts (item 31).
4. Fully seat all pusher plate screws (item 36) and tighten to 190 ft-lb (258 N•m) if
using a lubricant with a friction factor of 0.07 or 319 ft-lb (432 N•m) if using a
lubricant with a friction factor of 0.13.
Install the studs (item 44) in the OD of the body (item 1). Make sure the studs are fully
threaded into the body. DO NOT apply a thread lubricant to the threads. This will
help keep the studs from rotating the next time the nuts are removed. See the torque
requirements listed in Section I.
J. Final Assembly
1. Lubricate the donut (item 7) with a light coat of grease. Make certain the donut is
installed top side up. The word “TOP” is molded into the rubber. Use a fabric sling
when lifting the donut.
V. OPERATION PROCEDURES
A. Normal Operation
TC9598 2-99
DRILLING SYSTEMS
1. Before stripping pipe through the closed BOP, make certain the hydraulic control
system and the control piping conforms to the following requirements:
a. A nitrogen-precharged surge bottle should be connected as closely and as direct-
ly as possible to the closing port of the BOP operating system. A 10-gallon surge
bottle, precharged to a pressure of 400 to 500 psi will normally give proper strip-
ping performance with all sizes of the Cameron D BOP. For subsea BOP installa-
tions, the precharge in the surge bottle should be increased approximately 40 to
50 psi for every 100 feet of depth beneath the surface. The surge bottle should
conform to the requirements of API RP 53, and should be rated for a minimum
of 3000 psi working pressure. (Reference Cameron EB527D.)
b. A pneumatically-controlled or hydraulically-controlled self-relieving pressure
regulator.
c. A control valve of the non-check type.
TC9598 2-100
DRILLING SYSTEMS
2. Stripping Procedure
a. Check the surge bottle precharge pressure. A 10 gallon surge bottle, precharged
to a pressure of 400 to 500 psi, will normally give proper stripping performance
with all annular sizes.
b. Open the valve between the surge bottle and the BOP closing line.
c. Keep the packer lubricated while stripping to prevent excessive wear. Do not
move dry pipe through the packer, except in an emergency.
d. When stripping out of the hole, leakage of well fluid (if other than dry gas) will
provide adequate lubrication.
e. When stripping into the well, apply lubricant to the pipe, and especially to the
tool joints or couplings. Suitable lubricants, in order of preference, are:
1.) oil
2.) oil-base drilling mud
3.) water-base drilling mud
4.) water with gel
5.) plain water
f. Control the closing pressure by using the lowest practical closing pressure when
stripping.
g. Reduce the closing pressure until well fluid leaks slightly between the pipe and
the packer while the pipe is in motion. This leakage lubricates the packer, thus
reducing packer wear.
h. If the packer is closed tightly enough to eliminate all leakage, packer wear will
be greatly increased.
i. As a new packer begins to wear during stripping, sealing is improved, and the
closing pressure required to seal on pipe will decrease. For this reason, closing
pressure should be reduced as often as is necessary to maintain slight leakage
for lubrication of the packer.
j. When the packer has become severely worn during stripping, leakage will begin
to increase. When leakage cannot be controlled by increasing the closing pres-
sure, the packer is nearly worn out, and arrangements should be made to re-
place the packer.
k. Observe the pressure gauge on the BOP closing port as a tool joint approaches
and enters the packer. If the drill string is moved slowly enough, the pressure
surge in the BOP closing chamber during entry of a tool joint should be 100 psi
or less.
l. The faster the tool joint enters the packer, the greater the pressure surge. If
the pressure surge as tool joint enters the packer is greater than 100 psi, packer
wear will be excessive.

VIII. STORAGE
A. Preventer
1. If the BOP is to be stored for a period of a year or longer, the packer and donut
should be removed from the BOP and stored separately, following the packaging
and storage recommendations of Section VIII-B.
2. Clean the outside of the BOP body.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the close port and drain the operating fluid out of
the BOP.
4. Attach a hydraulic line containing only preservation fluid to the close port. Use
Marston Bentley Preservation Fluid, P/N 718100.
5. Disconnect the bottom open hydraulic port to allow the operating fluid to drain
out of the BOP once closing pressure is applied to the close port.
6. Apply pressure to the closing port, allowing the operating fluid to drain out of the
bottom open port. Once the fluid has completely drained, plug the open port.
7. Apply pressure to the opening port to fill the operating system with the
preservation fluid.
8. Release the pressure, disconnect the hydraulic lines, and install pipe plugs into the
open and close connections.
B. Elastomers
1. Store rubber products inside a cool, dark and dry storage area.
a. The preferred storage temperature range for rubber goods is from 40° F (5° C)
to 80° F (25° C).
b. Rubber goods should be wrapped or otherwise protected from direct exposure
to sunlight or artificial light with a high ultraviolet content (such as fluorescent
lighting). Do not store in direct sunlight even if wrapped, as overheating will
result.
c. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. Do not stretch or hang O-rings and
seals. Labels should not be attached to seals with string, wire, or tape, as these
items may deform the sealing surface.
2. Use airtight containers when possible to protect against circulating air.
3. Ozone is extremely harmful to rubber. Ensure that there is no equipment in the
storage area that may generate ozone, such as mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage
electrical equipment, electric motors, or any electric apparatus which produces
arcing.
4. Keep the rubber products clean and free of solvents, oil greases, or any other
semi-solid or liquid materials during storage. Rubber goods should specifically be
protected against direct contact with manganese; copper; copper alloys (including
brass), polyvinyl chloride (PVC); creosote-impregnated timber; other rubber goods
of different rubber compounds; sulphur; and copper napthenate.
TC9598 2-105
DRILLING SYSTEMS
5. When cleaning is necessary, rubber goods may be cleaned with either soap and
water or methyl alcohol. After cleaning, the rubber goods should be dried at room
temperature.
6. Examine the part before installation.
a. Ensure that the part does not have a tacky surface or noticeable softening or
hardening of the surface.
b. Flex the part and inspect with a magnifying glass to ensure that there are no
cracks.
c. Replace items that show any of the aging signs mentioned above.

The CAMERON U Blowout Preventer is the most widely used ram-type BOP for land and
platform applications worldwide and offers the widest range of sizes of any CAMERON ram-
type BOP.
Like other CAMERON preventers, the rams in the U BOP are pressure energized; wellbore
pressure acts on the ram to increase the sealing force and to maintain the seal in the event of
hydraulic pressure loss. Seal integrity is actually improved by increased wellbore pressure.
• Available in a wide variety of sizes, working pressure, body configurations, end connec-
tions and side outlets, and with rams to suit a large amount of requirements.
• Side outlets up to 4-1/16 (for 7-1/16 to 26-3/4 BOPs) can be provided. Side outlets can be
studded, flange or hub.
• Metal-reinforced bonnet seal to ensure a tight seal and resist extrusion is standard.
• Bonnet seal carrier is available to eliminate the need for high make-up torque on the
bonnet bolts.
• Large bore shear bonnets and tandem boosters are available for applications requiring
increased shear force.

1): Heavy bonnet bolts (over 50Kg or Ø4in) are type B with a plastic nose at extremity in order to help engagement
and limit risk of damaging first thread during installation/removal.
2): Type II bonnet bolts have a machined flat on head side to differentiate shear cavity bolts from standard pipe
cavity bolts and facilitate installation/removal when used with tandem booster.
To install the bonnet bolts correctly, refer to makeup guidelines per EB 919D.
1. Bonnet with Face Seal (Ref. EB 560D)
If bonnet configuration uses a face seal, refer to table below for recommended
torques (Ref. EB 560D).
Table 22: Bonnet Bolt Torque Requirements for U BOP with Bonnet Seal
Standard U BOPs are supplied with bonnet seal - a metal-reinforced elastomeric seal
gasket which seals between the body and intermediate flange and connecting rod seal (a
lip seal made from oil resistant nitrile).
When high temperature and/or high concentrations of H2S are expected, CAMERON
recommends the use of CAMLAST bonnet and connecting rod seals along with CAMRAM
350 packers and top seals.

The bonnet seal carrier is a bore-type sealing assembly which replaces the face seal used
as the previous bonnet seal.
The standard bonnet seal can be replaced by an optional seal carrier; thanks to this
option, sealing capability is not dependent upon bonnet bolt torque. One seal is captured
in a machined bore in the BOP body while the other seal is captured in a machined bore
in intermediate flange.
The seal carrier was designed, developed and performance-verified for use in newly
manufactured BOPs or as a replacement seal assembly for BOPs where either the BOP
body or the intermediate flange requires weld repair on the sealing surfaces.
To set up seal carrier on existing equipment, additional machining is required on body
and intermediate flange.
Seals used on seal carrier are made from CAMLAST material good for high temperature
and/or high concentration of H2S.

TC1403 92
DRILLING SYSTEMS
The interlocking shear ram (ISR) is available for the U BOP. The ISR rams provide
an improved shearing capacity alternative to the standard SBR rams. Since the
geometry of the ISR ram incorporates a “V” shape and is designed as wide as
possible, it can shear multiple strings and drill pipe as large as 6-5/8” OD. Also, ISR
rams do not have to fold over the lower fish. This mean less force is required to
shear and, by leaving the fish open, kill mud can be pumped down the severed drill
strings. The interlocking mechanism incorporated in the ISR means these rams can
be used in an oversized cavity without fear of a leak at low wellbore pressure.

Shearing action: upon completion of shearing, the lower fish is folded over and
flattened to allow the leading edge of the lower blade to seal against a blade

PREPARATION
Prior to the installation of the preventer, ensure that the following requirements
are met:
1.) The capacity and pressure rating of accumulators and pressure pumps must
comply with API STD 53 recommendations or appropriate regulatory agency
requirements.
2.) Ensure the ring gaskets are correct for the preventer flange, hub size, and
pressure rating.
BOP INSTALLATION
1.) Install preventer ensuring it is right-side-up (outlets are below the center of
preventer).
2.) Inspect preventer, ram subassemblies and all rubber parts during installation.
TC1403 116
DRILLING SYSTEMS
I. Maintenance Procedure
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.) If more than 500 psi (35 bars) hydraulic pressure is required to operate the
ram subassemblies when there is no pressure in the well bore, determine the
cause and correct any irregularities.
2.) Pressure test and operate the preventer once a week per API S53 Periodic
Field Testing, or appropriate regulatory agency requirement.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (REF. EB 902D)
1.) At 30 months or 800 operating cycles, whichever comes first, completely
disassemble preventer for periodic inspection (refer to EB 902D).
• Clean all parts. Do not use a wire brush on sealing areas.
• Once a year, replace all rubber seals, gaskets and O-rings.
• Replace ram packing according to its physical condition.
• Repair or replace damaged metal parts.
TC1403 117
DRILLING SYSTEMS
2.) In some cases, BOPs should be overhauled more often than once a year in
cases when the BOP has been used in a severe operating environment or
has been subject to misuse, or when the operating history of the unit is not
known. Some examples are:
• Prolonged or repeated use at high or low temperatures;
• When operating system pressure is in excess of 3300 psi;
• When used with chemically aggressive well fluids;
• If stored without proper preparation; or
• If exposed to very high flow rates, such as in a blowout.
It is not possible to prepare an exhaustive list of severe conditions. If there
is doubt as to whether a particular condition has been severe enough to
justify an overhaul, then a Cameron representative should be consulted, or
the overhaul should be performed as a precaution.
3.) The BOP should be returned to a Cameron facility for thorough examination
and testing if it has been exposed to any of the following conditions:
• fire
• temperatures above 600° F
• pressure higher than rated working pressure
TC1403 118
DRILLING SYSTEMS
J. Testing
A chart recorder or data acquisition system should be used on all pressure tests. The
permanent record generated should identify the recording device and be dated and
signed.
API Std 53 Definition for “Stabilized”:
A state in which the pressure change rate has decreased to within acceptable limits before
beginning the hold period during a pressure test.
The following table gives allowable pressure decline rate during the test (0.2% of
pressure or 2 psi/mn for low pressure test ≤ 1000 PSI):
TC1403 119
DRILLING SYSTEMS
2.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the CLOSE port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe the OPEN port for leaks.
3.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the OPEN port for leaks.
4.) Inspect for leaks between the intermediate flange, the bonnet, and the BOP
body. No visible leakage is allowed. Bleed all pressure from the BOP closing
line.
5.) Reconnect the hydraulic line to the OPEN port.
6.) Remove the hydraulic line from the CLOSE port.
7.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the OPEN port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe the CLOSE port for leaks.
8.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the CLOSE port for leaks.
9.) Inspect for leaks between the intermediate flange, body and bonnet. No
visible leakage is allowed.
10.) Reconnect the hydraulic line to the CLOSE port.
11.) Repeat the procedure for each preventer cavity.
2. Ram Test
Perform after installation and as required by API Std 53 or appropriate regulatory
TC1403 120
DRILLING SYSTEMS
agency.
a. Hydraulically test ram packers with water using the following procedure:
1.) Install the BOP Stack on a prepared test stump, or install a test plug below
the BOP if on the wellhead.
2.) Inspect for ram packer leaks at low pressure by closing rams on an
appropriate size test mandrel (none if blinds or shears are used) with 1500 psi
(103 bars) operating pressure, and apply 200 psi (13.8 bars) pressure under
the rams. Hold pressure for five minutes. Maximum pressure drop is 10 psi (1
bar) in five minutes.
3.) Increase pressure slowly to the rated working pressure of the preventer. Hold
pressure for five minutes. Maximum pressure drop is 100 psi (7 bars) in five
minutes.
4.) If rams leak at low or working pressure, inspect for worn ram packers and
replace if necessary.
5.) Repeat the above procedure for each set of casing, pipe and shear rams.
3. Drift Tests
At minimum, the BOP must be drift tested with the appropriate rams installed and
in the open position. It must drift within 30 minutes without being forced.
The drift must conform to drift diameter requirements (per 5.1 Paragraph API 16A
3e Ed.).
3.) Install an O-ring (9W) into the groove on the lock head (4W).
4.) Install an O-ring (12W) into the threaded end of the lock piston (14W).
5.) Screw the lock piston into the lock head and tighten using a strap wrench. Do
not use pliers or a pipe wrench on the OD of the piston. Excessive tightness is
not required. Some extrusion or cutting of the O-ring (12w) will likely occur
but will not cause harm.
6.) Install an O-ring (10W) into the groove in the head of the lock piston (14W).
7.) Liberally apply grease on the head of the lock piston in order to provide
protection against corrosion.
8.) Install an O-ring (8W) into the groove in the free end of the wedge piston
(13W).
TC1403 122
DRILLING SYSTEMS
9.) The bore through the wedgelock housing (5W) is chromed for half its length,
and is of a larger diameter with a rough finish for the rest of its length. Slide
the wedge piston (end without O-ring first) into the chromed bore of the
housing.
• If the wedge piston is inserted head first into the rough bore end of the
housing, the O-ring on the head of the piston will be cut as the piston
head passes the tail rod bore in the center of the housing.
• Orient the wedge piston (13w) so that the flat, tapered surface will face
the tail rod of the operating piston when the unit is installed on the BOP.
Make certain the O-ring on the head of the wedge piston is not pinched
or cut as it enters the chromed bore of the housing.
10.) Install studs (15W) into both ends of the wedgelock housing (5W).
11.) Insert the lock head with the attached lock piston into the wedgelock
housing. Insert the head of the lock into the wedge piston, and then rotate
the lock head until it can be pushed into place on the studs (15W) on the end
of the wedgelock housing. The off-center position of the lock piston will not
allow the lock head to be improperly oriented if the wedge piston is correctly
oriented in the wedgelock housing.
12.) Secure the lock head to the wedgelock housing with item 6W. Torque the
nuts to the value specified in API 6A Table D2 for that thread size.
13.) Install an O-ring (8W) into the groove on the unlock head (3W).
14.) Position the unlock head on the end of the wedgelock housing over studs
(15W). The head should be oriented so that the unlock ports will be vertical.
15.) Secure the unlock head to the wedgelock housing with four nuts (6W).
Torque the nuts to the valve specified per API 6A Table D2 for that thread
size.
a. Wedgelock
1.) Prior to installing wedgelock assembly, install tail rod extension (2W) and
stud (17W) onto tail rod of operating piston.
2.) Install appropriate studs (13W) at the back of the bonnet (3).
3.) Position the wedgelock housing in line with the tail rod extension (2W) on
the operating piston.
4.) Install an O-ring (11W) into the groove in the mounting flange of the
wedgelock housing. A heavy coat of grease will help hold the seal in place
while the housing is being maneuvered into place on the BOP.
5.) Slide the wedgelock housing on the tail rod extension of the operating
piston. The pin on the side of the tail rod extension fits into the keyway cut in
the bore of the wedgelock housing.
TC1403 123
DRILLING SYSTEMS
6.) Continue to slide the wedgelock housing along the tail rod extension until
the mounting studs (13W) enter the flange and the housing is in contact with
the bonnet. Make certain the O-ring installed in step 4 remains in place in its
groove as the wedgelock housing makes contact.
7.) Secure the wedgelock housing on the BOP body with eight nuts (14w).
Tighten the nuts evenly in a cross pattern before applying torque to any of
them. Torque the nuts per Table 74.
b. Optional Sequencing Valve
1.) Install O-ring (11S) on the body (2S).
2.) Install O-ring (7S) on the seat (4S) and insert them in the body (2S).
3.) Put O-ring (8S) on the poppet (3S) and insert the poppet though the seat in
the body.
4.) Install O-ring (6S) into the groove of the head (1S) and assemble the head
with the four cap screws (9S). Torque per API 6A Table D2.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Test the hydraulic locking system with clean operating fluid (see EB 928D).
a. Flush the hydraulic locking system with clean operating fluid (see EB 928D).
b. Test for leaks in the locking system:
1.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the unlock port, hold pressure
for five minutes, and observe port for leaks.
2.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe port for leaks.
3.) Inspect for leaks between the unlock head cap and the wedgelock housing.
Bleed all pressure from the BOP unlock line.
4.) No visible leakage is allowed.
5.) Apply 300 psi (20.7 bars) hydraulic pressure to the lock port, hold pressure for
five minutes, and observe the balance chamber port for leaks.
6.) Increase the pressure to 3000 psi (207 bars), hold pressure for five minutes,
and observe the balance chamber port for leaks.
7.) No visible leakage is allowed.
8.) Bleed all pressure from the BOP lock line.
9.) Repeat the procedure for each cavity.

M. Storage
PREVENTER
• Condition of Storage:
Medium term: BOP is not to be put into service for a period less than three
months.
Long term: BOP is not to be put into service for a period of three months or
longer.
• Planned Maintenance:
At 3- to 6-month intervals, the BOP bonnets should be opened and the cavity
visually inspected (in case of long-term storage).
ELASTOMERS
1. Store rubber products inside a cool, dark, dry storage area.
a. The preferred storage temperature range for rubber goods is from 40° F to 80°F
(4.4° C to 26.7° C).
b. Rubber goods should be wrapped or otherwise protected from direct exposure
to sunlight or artificial light with a high ultraviolet content (such as fluorescent
lighting). Do not store in direct sunlight, even if wrapped, as overheating will
result.
c. Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. Do not stretch or hang O-rings and
seals. Labels should not be attached to seals with string, wire or tape as these
items may deform the sealing surface.
2. Use airtight containers when possible to protect against circulating air.
3. Ozone is extremely harmful to rubber. Ensure that there is no equipment in the
storage area that may generate ozone, such as mercury vapor lamps, high-voltage
electrical equipment, electric motors, or any electrical apparatus that produces
arcing.
4. Keep rubber products clean and free of solvents, oil, greases, or any other semi-
solid or liquid materials during storage. Rubber goods should specifically be
protected against direct contact with:
• manganese
• copper
• copper alloys (including brass)
• polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• creosote-impregnated timber
• sulphur
• copper napthenate
• other rubber goods of different rubber compounds
TC1403 130
DRILLING SYSTEMS
5. When necessary, rubber goods may be cleaned with soap and water or methyl
alcohol. After cleaning, the rubber goods should be dried at room temperature.
6. Examine the part before installation.
a. Ensure that the part does not have a tacky surface or noticeable softening
or hardening of the surface.
b. Flex the part and inspect with a magnifying glass to ensure that there
are no cracks.
c. Replace items that show any aging signs mentioned above.

GENERAL WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow may result in serious personal
injury and damage not only to equipment but also the environment.
1. Safety is a combination of staying alert, common sense, and experience with oil field equipment
and environment. Read this manual prior to operating and servicing the FL and FLS valve. Be
familiar with operation terminologies of gate valves and oil field equipment.
2. This document includes basic valve repair guidance. The field service personnel shall be fully
trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equipment as well as the job they are going
to perform on the FL and FLS valve models. If any procedures and policies listed in this document
cannot be followed, contact a Cameron Representative for best course of action.
3. Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be utilized according to Company policies.
Always use proper tools when servicing equipment.
4. A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) must be performed prior to beginning service on a well location. A
JHA review meeting will be held with all affected rig personnel PRIOR to commencement of work
to review results of the JHA, evacuation routes, emergency contacts, etc. All meeting attendees
and a Company Representative will sign off on the JHA to acknowledge meeting has taken place.
5. Be aware of unexpected circumstances that may arise when operating or servicing valve. Utilize
Step Back 5X5 process in order to assess hazards posed before, during and after servicing of
equipment under pressure or with potential of hazardous chemicals present. Be familiar with
company’s and facility’s Lockout/Tagout program in order to ensure all sources of energy (i.e.
electrical, pneumatic, pressure) are isolated and/or de-energized prior to beginning work.
6. All governmental or Company safety requirements shall be met before working on valve.
Requirements of fully tested pressure barriers prior to servicing valve shall be observed.
Cameron recommends two mechanical pressure barriers is preferred practice. Lower Master
Valve (LMV) is a critical valve and additional precautions should be taken to ensure mechanical
pressure barriers are functioning correctly prior to work being carried out on this particular valve.
7. Always check for trapped pressure before servicing valve. All valves downstream of pressure
barriers must be cycled several times to release trapped pressure.
8. Ensure chemical and physical properties of fluid flow product inside valve are known. Obtain
applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for commonly encountered chemicals such
as hydrogen sulfide, cements, etc. in order to identify appropriate PPE to use, emergencies,
procedures, and methods or exposure control.
9. Always use correct lifting devices and follow safety rules in handling heavy products. The weight
of single cavity flanged and hub outlet valves are provided in this document for reference. Actual
valve weight can vary for valve block configurations. Never attempt to lift valve by hand. Do not
lift from handwheel or handwheel adapter. Valve should be lifted from valve body or end flange
outlets.
10. Cameron manufactures a variety of valve models with different features and operating
requirements. Be certain of valve model and refer to appropriate manual before attempting
operation or service on valve. This document is to assist field personnel in operation and
maintenance of the FL and FLS handwheel operated gate valve for valve sizes that are listed in
this document. Different documents are available for other FL/FLS valve sizes.

2. Always use the provided handwheel and stand on stable platform when operating valve. Refer to
Tables I through VI for appropriate handwheel size.
3. DO NOT apply more torque than specified values. Do not use cheater pipe or wrench on
handwheel to operate. Excessive torque can damage stem pin or other valve parts.
4. If valve handwheel will not rotate, it is possible that rotation is in wrong direction. If there is un-
certainty about valve position, open or close, rotate handwheel in both directions before increas-
ing torque. Consider possibility of hydrates (ice) in valve if it is still inoperable.
5. When pressure is bled from valve bore, there may be trapped pressure in cavity when valve is in
either open or closed position. Valve should be cycled to relieve pressure.

4.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. DANGER: Lubricating valve involves injection into valve body. This can present a hazard
while well is flowing or under pressure. Be aware of unexpected circumstances during or after
lubricating valve. Review completed JHA and perform Step Back 5x5 to prepare for unplanned
situations.
2. Isolate valve pressure source and release valve pressure before lubricating valve whenever
possible. If valve is lubricated under pressure, second check valve or needle valve should be
manifolded onto grease fitting as second barrier. This can isolate pressure if grease fitting check
fails. Reference facility’s work instruction on grease gun safety in order to verify condition of
greasing equipment before performing the work.
3. Besides wearing appropriate PPE, be sure to read and understand Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) of grease or any other chemicals being used on the job to ensure adequate control mea-
sures are in place.
4. Be aware of trapped pressure and physical and chemical properties of well fluid. Stroke valve to
verify release of any trapped pressure. Use proper unseating tool to check any residual trapped
pressure through grease fitting.
5. When removing fitting cap be certain fitting does not rotate with cap. If constant pressure re-
lease is heard when loosening cap, retighten cap and plan to replace fitting.
6. During lubrication or other maintenance operations, do not place any part of one’s body in front
of fitting, especially when removing fitting or fitting cap.
7. Standard FL and FLS gate valves do not have buried check valves like earlier designs. However,
some special customer designs and older valve models such as F and FC may have a buried check
valve with word “CHECK” stamped next to grease fitting.
8. During lubrication, do not exceed rated working pressure of valve. Slowdown in pumping speed
shows resistance and can be indication that valve cavity is full.
TC148-2 14
recommended to lubricate valve body cavity before
operation. After operation, flush valve with appropriate
cleaning/neutralizing fluid. Then operate valve with
fresh water or appropriate neutralizing fluid in the line.
Finally, lubricate valve body cavity again. Cycling valve
during flushing and lubrication will greatly improve
effectiveness of maintenance.

7.0 ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
The only information needed for ordering replacement parts for a Cameron gate valve
is original valve assembly part number and description of part. Valve assembly part
number is stamped on valve body nameplate. It is recommended that description of
valve assembly (size, pressure, trim) be included as a check on assembly number, but is
not necessary if assembly number is clearly readable.
It is not recommended to order replacement parts by using part number off old part or
by referring to file copy of valve assembly bill of material. If an engineering change has
been implemented to valve assembly to replace one component part number with an-
other, the only way to ensure getting updated component is to reference valve assem-
bly number and part by description (gate, seat, stem, etc. Part descriptions are shown in
parts list, Part I.D.). Cameron personnel can then check latest revision of assembly bill of
material to obtain appropriate and current replacement part number.
Contact Cameron representative for replacement parts for FLS and all other FL gate
valves.

GENERAL WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow may result in serious personal injury
and damage not only to the equipment, but also the environment.
1. Safety is a combination of staying alert, common sense, and experience with the oil field
equipment and environment. Read this manual prior to operating and servicing the FL and
FLS valve. Be familiar with the operation terminologies of gate valves and oil field equip-
ment.
2. This document includes basic valve repair guidance. The field service personnel shall be fully
trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equipment, as well as the job that they
are going to perform on the FL and FLS valve models. If any of the procedures and policies
listed in this document cannot be followed, contact a Cameron representative for the best
course of action.
3. Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be utilized according to company policies.
Always use proper tools when servicing the equipment.
4. A job hazard analysis (JHA) must be performed prior to beginning any service on a well
location. A JHA review meeting will be held with all affected rig personnel PRIOR to the
commencement of work to review the results of the JHA, evacuation routs, emergency con-
tacts, etc. All meeting attendees and a company representative will sign-off on the JHA to
acknowledge this meeting has taken place.
5. Be aware of unexpected circumstances that may arise when operating or servicing the
valve. Utilize the Step Back 5X5 process in order to assess the hazards posed before, dur-
ing, and after the servicing of equipment under pressure or with the potential of hazardous
chemicals present. Be familiar with the company’s and facility’s Lockout/Tagout program in
order to ensure all sources of energy (i.e. electrical, pneumatic, pressure) are isolated and/or
de-energized prior to beginning work.
6. All governmental or company safety requirements shall be met before working on the
valve. Requirements of fully tested pressure barriers prior to servicing the valve shall be
observed. Cameron recommends two mechanical pressure barriers as the preferred prac-
tice. The Lower Master Valve (LMV) is a critical valve, and additional precautions should be
taken to ensure that the mechanical pressure barriers are functioning correctly prior to any
work being carried out on this particular valve.
7. Always check for any trapped pressure before servicing the valve. All valves downstream of
the pressure barriers must be cycled several times to release any trapped pressure.
8. Ensure the chemical and physical properties of the fluid flow product inside the valve are
known. Obtain applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for commonly encountered
chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, cements, etc. in order to identify appropriate PPE to
use, emergencies, procedures, and methods or exposure control.
9. Always use correct lifting devices and follow safety rules in handling heavy products. The
weight of single cavity flanged and hub outlet valves are provided in this document for ref-
erence. The actual valve weight can vary for the valve block configurations. Never attempt
to lift the valve by hand. Do not lift from hand wheel or hand wheel adapter. Valve should
be lifted from valve body or end flange outlets.
10. Cameron manufactures a variety of valve models with different features and operating
requirements. Be certain of the valve model and refer to the appropriate manual, before
attempting any operation or service on the valve. This document is to assist field personnel
in the operation and maintenance of the FLS DOUBLE ACTING Hydraulic gate valve new
model.

IV. INSPECTION
A. Valve Inspection
Inspect the ring grooves for pitting and other visible damage. If defects are found, con-
tact Cameron personnel for repair work.
B. Actuator Inspection
1. Attach a temporary supply line to the close NPT port in the lower end of the cylin-
der.
2. Apply 50 to 150 psi gas or hydraulic supply pressure to the cylinder.
3. Inspect the valve bore to ensure that the gate bore is properly aligned. If it is not
fully open, contact a Cameron service representative.
4. Release the supply pressure.
5. If the valve does not stroke smoothly or if a leak is detected, see Part V or contact a
Cameron representative.
V. INSTALLATION
The Cameron FLS with double acting hydraulic actuator operates properly when installed in
any orientation. The valve is a bidirectional sealing design.
A. Operation
The double acting hydraulic actuator on a FLS gate valve requires operating pressure
within the range of 1500 to 3000 psi. Pressurizing the upper port (farthest from the valve)
closes the valve. Pressurizing the lower port (closest to the valve) opens the valve. The
valve will remain in position after release of actuator pressure due to the balanced stem
design (lower stem balances pressure thrust on upper stem), and the actuator does not
contain springs. Stem packing at the upper and lower stems seal line pressure. However,
should some leakage occur past the upper stem packing, a vent port and seals above the
vent will prevent line pressure from entering the actuator.
The required operating pressure for the double acting actuator is usually much lower
than the published minimum of 1500 psi. That value takes into account fouling of the
valve by drilling fluids, etc., and is not expected to represent the “normal” situation. The
actuator has a maximum rated working pressure of 3000 psi. Hydraulic oils or water that
contains a water soluble lubricant (Cameron lubricant 590X) can be used as the operating
fluid. 590X protects the hydraulic system and has good flow characteristics. Add an appro-
priate amount of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) for freeze protection of water based fluid.
The valve lower stem indicates valve position, viewed through slots in the lower stem pro-
tector/indicator. When the valve is open, the lower stem is up (towards the valve body).
When the valve is closed, the lower stem is down (away from the valve body).
1. The manual locking screw may be used to close the valve when hydraulic operating
pressure is not available and there is little or no pressure in the valve.
2. The manual locking screw may also be used to lock the valve in the closed position.
TC9261 11
DRILLING SYSTEMS
a. Apply hydraulic pressure to the actuator (closing port cylinder port farthest from
the valve) to close the valve.
b. Release hydraulic pressure from the actuator.
c. Turn the locking screw hand wheel clockwise (to the right) until it firmly con-
tacts the centering pin on the piston.
3. To ‘unlock’ and open a closed valve:
a. Turn the locking screw counterclockwise (to the left) until the locking screw
shoulder contacts the upper head.
b. Apply hydraulic pressure to the actuator (opening port, cylinder port closest to
the valve) to open the valve.
c. Release hydraulic pressure from the actuator.
Note: Actuator internal stops absorb piston force at both ends of the stroke to limit gate
travel. In the fully closed position, the piston contacts the stem packing gland in the
bonnet. The piston contacts the adjusting adapter in the upper cylinder head when the
valve is fully open.
B. Maintenance
1. Maintenance Schedule
The following maintenance checklist covers normal or routine service. More fre-
quent maintenance may be necessary for unusual or more adverse conditions.
*The valve is lubricated through a grease fitting located on the actuator bonnet. Recommended lubricants and
amounts are shown below.
**One cycle equals opening and closing the valve one time. The service interval can vary according to application, fluids
used, and well conditions.
***Periodic maintenance must also be performed after every “kick” or other conditions when drilling fluids have been
processed through the valve.
TC9261 12

2. Recommended lubricants
For optimum performance, only Cameron valve lubricants should be used.
