A. INSTALLATION
1. Valve Body: Set cylinder valve in the horizontal line of piping in an accessible location with the arrow on the
side of the valve body in the direction of fluid flow. Upright positioning of control valve is preferable for ease of
maintenance.
Work spaces around the cylinder valve body are to be provided sufficiently for easy removal or reinstall of parts
during maintenance.
Caution: Piping systems are to be flushed thoroughly with sufficient amount of water or air prior to installation of
cylinder valve body and strainer to prevent possible damage on the internals by foreign materials after
commissioning.
2. Strainer: To be installed between the inlet block valve and cylinder valve. In case other strainer is installed
upstream line, this strainer may be deleted.
3. Isolation valves: Stop valves (and gauges if necessary) in inlet and outlet lines are able to be installed to provide
means for checking, adjustment or emergency maintenance during operation.
4. Bypass valve: Set a bypass around the cylinder valve for emergency use when the cylinder valve needs to be
isolated.
5. Air tubing: Connect air tubing between the controller and cylinder actuator or the valve positioner (if one is in
use). Maximum allowable operating pressure for cylinder actuators is 4 kg/cm² (60 psig).
B. OPERATION
2. Movement check: Check if control valve responds properly through rated travel in relation to the changes in
operating pressure in the cylinder Rated travel is shown by the position of the indicator on the valve stem relative to
the indicator plate scale on the yoke.
3. Manual operation: Manually operate cylinder valve fitted with manual operating devices through the rated
travel range to check freedom of movement. Return manual operating devices to its stand-by position.
4. Commissioning: Place cylinder valve in operation in accordance with the operating instructions provided with
C. MAINTENANCE
To reduce maintenance time, please refer to proper drawing and follow the steps shown below for applicable
maintenance.
(1). Replacement: Renew the valve stem packing if cylinder valve has been in service beyond normal maintenance
interval with packings showing signs of wear. Wear will be indicated by leakage which can not be corrected by
minor tightening of packing gland.
Caution: Over-tightening of the packing gland can cause erratic operation of the valve.
Note: Where V- packing is used, additional packing can be installed to overcome minor leakage without
dismantling the cylinder valve. Close the inlet and outlet stop valves and check that valve body is not under
pressure. Remove nuts and lift gland nut and packing gland in sufficient height on the valve stem to apply the
split packing around diameter of valve stem. (See Figure 2)
(2). Adjustment: During start-up some leakage may be observed. Do not readjust packing - allow at least 15
minutes for pressure/temperature stabilization to occur. If leakage continues adjust a maximum of 1/6 turn at a time.
If pressure is raised considerably, the packing may leak slightly. Do not readjust - leakage will stop when new
pressure/temperature stabilization is reached.
(3). Break-in: For best results, it is recommended that after packing installation and adjustment the valve be fully
stroked approximately 20 times to break-in the packing and reduce stem friction.
(1). Preparation: Close inlet and outlet stop valve and relieve all pressure from piping involved.
(3). Separation of stems: Loosen (42)nut. Use wrench on stem flats and turn (6)stem out of actuator (upper) stem
until both stems are separated.
(4). Remove yoke from bonnet: Remove the (44)set Screw, (17)gland nut & (13)ring nut holding the actuator to
(1). Removal of actuator: Remove actuator from valve body assembly as previously described in disassembly of
cylinder actuator from valve body assembly.
(2). Removal of bonnet: Remove (2)bonnet turn(anti clock wise) Lift off bonnet assembly including stem & disc
from the body.[15A~40A] or Remove (15)bolt. Lift off cover & bonnet assembly. Remove (7)bolt. Lift off
(33)seat fixing plate and including (5)seat, stem & disc from the body. [50A~150A]
(3). Disassembly of bonnet and valve body: Remove (4)disc rubber, packing gland and old (8)V-packing set.
4. Cleaning
(1). Cleaning of component parts: Clean all parts thoroughly. Polish stem with crocus cloth. It should be
smooth and free of scratches especially in the packing area. Use approved and non-residue forming solvent for
cleaning. Wipe dry with clean cloth.
(2). Inspection: Inspect all parts and replace any excessively worn out or damaged part.
(3). Replacement of parts: Install a new (8)V-packing set as shown on packing installation sketch Fig. 2. See
previous section on renewing packing set. The packing gland has a long wearing life which under normal usage
should not require replacement. However, if damaged or worn out, the packing gland and/or the bonnet must be
replaced. The bonnet O-ring and seat O-ring should be replaced each time the valve body assembly is disassembled
for cleaning.
(2). Bonnet assembly: Applying light pressure and turning motion, assemble disc stem into the bonnet assembly.
(3). Bonnet & cover on valve body: Place bonnet O-ring in the body recess and install the bonnet assembly on top
of the valve body, and turn it clockwise, Apply (15)bolt and tighten firmly and evenly until the bonnet and valve
body flanges almost touch each other.
(4). Indicator ring: Place the (18)indicator ring and (42)nut on to the (6)stem.
(5). Cylinder actuator on bonnet: Place the yoke and actuator assembly on top of the bonnet, and (13)ring nut
turn it clockwise, watching the valve (6)stem, to connect the (6)stem to the actuator piston rod. During this time the
(6)stem must be kept standstill to prevent the disc from being scratched or damaged. And then, Tightly fasten the
yoke by turning the lock nut clockwise using tightening tools.
(6). Gland nut: Fasten the gland nut turning the lock nut clockwise. Excessive tightening could prevent the
movement of valve stem.
Note: The 1/4 turn toward the seat provides the positive closing force required to obtain tight valve closure in
single ported valves. In all cases be sure to make this final adjustment.
(1). “Close” position: Supply 3.0 kg/cm² (45psig) of operating pressure to actuator cylinder. Check and confirm if
the valve fully closes at this pressure.
(2). Connection of tubings: Reduce air pressure from actuator cylinder and reconnect operating medium tubing
from control pilot, instrument, or loading device to the cylinder cover.

A. INSTALLATION
1. Valve location
Install 3way cylinder valve in an accessible location. Connect supply and outlet pipe lines to the valve as described
below. 3way cylinder valve may be placed in any position but upright posture is preferable for ease of maintenance.
Connect operating medium tubing from control pilot, instrument or loading device to cylinder chamber connection
of 3way cylinder valve or to valve positioner. If one is in use.
In converging (mixing) service two fluids are mixed to produce a third fluid. The valve has two inlet connections
(marked “B” and “C”) and one outlet connection (marked “A”). Connect supply lines to “C” and “B” connections
and outlet to “A” connection. See figure 7.
In diverging (dividing) service the valve has one inlet supply connection (marked “A”) and two outlet connections
(marked “B” and “C”).
Connect supply line to “A” connection and outlet lines to “B” and “C” connections. See figure 8.
(1). Provide removal space around the 3way cylinder valve for easy removal of parts during maintenance.
(2). Blow or flush out pipe line thoroughly before installing cylinder valve.
(3). Protect cylinder valve and following equipment with a Self-Cleaning Strainer.
(4). Install stop valves and gages in inlet and outlet lines to provide means for checking process condition or
equipment.
B. OPERATION
(2). Check that 3way cylinder valve responds properly through rated travel in changes in operating pressure on the
piston. Rated travel is shown by position of travel indicator on the valve stem relative to travel indicator scale on
the yoke.
