3.2 Pre-assembling the valve body
Place the valve body ( 1 ) on a surface at a suitable working height.
Screw the stud bolts ( 23 ) into the valve body ( 1 ).
Use a suitable mandrel to press the bearing bushing ( 13a ) as far
as it will go into the shaft bore of the valve body ( 1 ) on the stuffing
box side.
Insert the spacer ( 14a ).
Use a suitable mandrel to press the bearing bushing ( 13b ) far as it
will go into the shaft bore of the valve body ( 1 ) on the bonnet side
Insert the spacer ( 14b).
3.3 Butterfly disc and shaft
The butterfly disc ( 3 ) and shaft ( 2 ) form a unit which is easily
assembled together using the straight pins ( 6 ). This unit can be
taken apart for assembling it into the valve.
Note:
It is important that both these components are used
together.
3.4 Assembling the butterfly disc, shaft and valve body
Place the butterfly disc ( 3 ) with the sealing side facing
downwards on a surface at a suitable working height.
Place the valve body ( 1 ) with the facing side upwards carefully
over the butterfly disc, ensuring that the disc is located neatly in the
port of the body.
Caution: Take particular care to make sure that facing of
the valve body and the butterfly disc do not get damaged.
Note: Make sure that the bearing holes on the butterfly
disc ( 3 ) are aligned with the shaft bore of the valve
body ( 1 ).
Observe the eccentricity of the butterfly disc.
Push the shaft ( 2 ) through the shaft bores of the valve body ( 1 )
and through the bearing holes of the butterfly disc ( 3 ).
Insert the straight pins ( 6 ) into the butterfly disc and shaft.
3.5 Assembling the butterfly valve
Slide the guide washer ( 7 ) on the bonnet side over the shaft until it
touches the ready installed spacer ( 14b ).
Fasten the shaft head ( 8 ) to the end of the shaft with the screw
( 9 ).
Push the ring ( 21 ) onto the bonnet ( 18 ).
Insert the washer ( 20 ) into the recess in the bonnet ( 18 ) intended
for it.
Place the ready-assembled bonnet into the shaft bore of the valve
body and align it using the screws ( 19 ).
Tighten the screws evenly in a criss-cross pattern.
Slide the thrust washer ( 17 ) on the stuffing box side over the free
end of the shaft at the corresponding place in the valve body.
Slide the rings of the PTFE packing ( 22 ) one by one over the shaft
into the shaft bore of the body and press them in using an
installation sleeve.
Note: Make sure that the packing rings are inserted with
their divisions not aligned with one another.
Place the stuffing box ( 15 ) neatly over the shaft. Insert the stud
bolts and align them using the nuts ( 16 ) and washers.
Tighten the nuts evenly in a criss-cross pattern.
3.6 Final assembly of the butterfly disc
Turn the valve body by 180° so that the facing of the butterfly disc
faces upwards.
Insert the ring ( 11 ) into the groove of the ready-assembled
butterfly disc ( 3 ).
Caution:
Pay particular attention to cleanliness.
Push the seat ring ( 4 ) onto the fastening ring ( 5 ).
Caution:
Refer to the exploded view diagram in Fig. 3 for location
of the seat ring ( 4 ).
Place this ready-mounted fastening ring on the butterfly disc and
adjust its position using the screws ( 12 ).
Caution:
Do not damage the facings.
Fasten the fastening ring by tightening the screws evenly and in a
criss-cross pattern.
Insert the feather key ( 10 ) into the groove of the shaft ( 2 ).
Carefully bring the butterfly disc into the closed position.
3.7 Note concerning the mounting of actuators
Caution: Triple eccentric butterfly valves must always
close in the clockwise direction!
