9500 Valve

Fisherr 9500 Butterfly Control Valve

The Fisher 9500 butterfly valve (figure 1 or 2) is a
fully lined valve for use with corrosive fluids and
where tight shutoff is required. The nitrile or PTFE
liner totally isolates the valve body and shaft from
the process fluid and maintains excellent shutoff at
pressure drops to 15.2 bar (220 psi), and
temperatures to 121qC (250qF).

The 9500 valve is available in NPS 2 through 12 and

is compatible with ASME B16.1 CL125B, with ASME
B16.34 CL150 and CL300, or with DIN flanges.
These valves are furnished with splined shafts for
use with power actuators (figure 1 or 2), with a
Fisher 1077 manual actuator, or with a 1078
declutchable manual actuator (see figure 3).

1. The values in this table were determined using S17400 (17-4PH SST) shaft and taper pins. If other materials are used, you must refer to Catalog 14 Pages (section D) for adjustment
percentages.

Features
D VersatileConventional discs are available for
bidirectional, on/off or throttling control. Valves are
available with S31600 [316 stainless steel (SST)]
FISHTAIL disc for on/off or throttling control (see
figure 4). The discs can be obtained in a variety of
alloy materials for additional corrosion resistance.
D EconomicalValve body and shafts are
isolated from process fluid, allowing use of cast iron
valve bodies for corrosive applications.
D Adjustable Shaft SealLiner is directed
against a flat disc hub by a thrust bearing, creating a
seal between the liner and the disc as shown in
figure 5. Seals are adjusted as necessary to provide
leak control.
D Flange Gasket Not RequiredPartial O-ring
(figure 5) is molded as part of the liner. It seals

against mating flanges which eliminate the need for

flange gaskets.
D Excellent Flow ControlThe conventional
disc is approximately equal percentage flow
characteristic through 60 degrees of its rotation. The
FISHTAIL disc has an approximate equal
percentage flow characteristic through a full 90
degrees of disc rotation.
D Operational EconomyThe FISHTAIL disc
reduces dynamic torque, which allows the use of a
smaller actuator size for a given application.
D Minimum MaintenanceNo lubrication is
required, and no packing or flange gaskets to
replace. Shaft seal is easy to adjust. Removing valve
components and changing the valve action is
accomplished without complete disassembly.
Field-replaceable slip-in liner minimizes downtime
and reduces maintenance costs.

The liner overlaps the valve face producing the

partial O-ring shown in figure 5. It acts as the flange
gasket. Improper use of additional gasketing
materials may damage the valve liner.

Please refer to the Fisher 9500 instruction

manual, D100380X012, for additional / complete
installation and maintenance instructions.

The simplicity of the 9500 valve design is achieved

by relying on mating pipe flanges to retain the slip-in
liner in the valve body. Care must be taken during
installation to assure that the pipe flanges are
properly supported to avoid liner damage, flange
joint leakage, and problems with valve operation.
Flexible, plastic flanges; fiberglass, slip-on flanges;
or weld-neck flanges with other than standard inside
diameters may not provide adequate support for the
liner. The use of flange adapters can overcome
flange support problems during installation.
Whenever a flange adapter is used, a standard
flange gasket must be installed between the line
flange and flange adapter. Do not use a flange
gasket between the valve and flange adapter. The
partial O-ring on the liner acts as the flange gasket
and any additional gasket here will damage the liner.

These valves may be installed in any position. For

conventional discs, flow may be in either direction.
For FISHTAIL discs, the FISHTAIL edge of the discs
must be located in to the downstream end of the
valve (see figure 4).

Excessive line bolt load on flexible mating flanges

can warp the liner. Also, failing to support the liner at
the inside diameter can warp the liner. The use of
flange adapters can overcome bolt load problems
during installation.

Slip-on pipe flanges may be used with NPS 2, 3, or 4

9500 valves. Valves NPS 6 and larger will require
flange adapters for complete liner support.
The maximum and minimum allowable inside
diameter of mating flanges or adjacent pipes are

9500 Valve
given in figure 6 and table 5. Flanges or pipes with
inside diameters smaller than the minimum shown
may interfere with the opening of the disc. Flanges
or pipes with an inside diameter larger than the
maximum shown may not be in full contact with the
liner. Flange adapters are needed in either case, to
provide disc clearance or to fully contact the liner.
