- Carefully clean the oil and dirt that attached in the butt connection flange seal surface and weld end of pipe, and check
its surface condition, alignment degree(parallel, concentric), should meet the pipeline specification.
- As to the power operated valve, relevant inspection needs to be carried out according to the instruction of actuating
mechanism before installation.
4) After all the relevant inspection work is ready, valves should be installed at once.
5) During the installation process, ensure that there is no dirt or other external objects in the pipe or valves.
6) In the whole installation process of valves, the closure element should be in fully open situation.
7) Put valves in the right installation place, and it's important that ensure the alignment (parallel, concentric) of
connecting flange and butt ends.
8) Valves are installed in the pipeline, and try not letting it not
7) After finishing welding, make corrosion protection for welding sew as soon as possible.

1.2 Flange End Valves

1) Flange seal and fastening pieces need to adopt new fit gasket, bolt and nut (flange seal, bolt and nut need to meet
the seal's shape, pressure, temperature and medium, etc.)
2) In the installation, appropriately smear the lubricant to the screw.
3) According to the specification of ASME, GB or gasket, use human or power wrench, with relevant torque, cross
sequence, slowly and evenly tighten every bolt.

1.3 Butt Weld End Valves

1) Weld operation need be carried out by qualified welders and welding procedures. All comment of welding procedures
and welders in BTL are according to ASME.
2) Butt weld end must be dry.
3) During preheating, welding or heat aging, make sure that the temperature around the seat ring shall not exceed
120℃. High temperature will damage the seal. Use thermometer to measure the effect of weld temperature.
4) It is recommended that to take some protective measures when weld the valve and pipe, such as using argon arc
welding of the back cover; or other more effective welding process, to prevent the trouble that caused by the falling
of welding spatter objects.
5) When install valves, ball must be in the fully closed situation, otherwise the exposed part of the ball must be covered
with protective grease (such as butter), so that can prevent the ball from the damage caused by welding slag
splashing.
6) As for the butt end valve without sleeves, make sure that do not install the valve when the ball is in the closed
situation.
7) After finishing welding, make corrosion protection for welding sew as soon as possible.

1.4 Buried Valve (If Applicable)

1) The injection grease, vent and drain device of the valve installed underground must be extended to the ground.
2) To ensure the height left in the ground is able to be operated and maintained by stuffs.
3) Do not use Coarse-grained rock / stone as packing, since in the process of packing and press, it will damage the
external cover of valve.
4) To ensure that valve not suffer from bending when packing and pressing the valve port.
5) It should not damage the pipeline of drain, vent and injection grease.

7. Maintenance
BTL pipeline ball valves only need little maintenance. In order to extend the life of valve, the following maintenance
needs to be carried out.

7.1 Regular inspection

- Open the valve packing, carefully check the products' logo, notice the warning marks that be attached in valve or with
the valve, and take the appropriate action.
- Make regular visual inspection of external seal integrity and external corrosive protection of valve.
- Test the valves' performance through performing valves' whole process at least once a year. Valves must be smoothly,
no bumps and obvious noise passing the whole process. If the work condition doesn't allow the ball valve in fully
closed position, close it to 25%, then immediately fully opening, it will be ok.
7.2 Regular sewage of body cavity
- After a long service, the bottom of the body cavity may collect water, scale, sediment or other debris. If not discharge

7 OF 12
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3-PC TRUNNION BALL VALVE (TRUNNION PLATE DESIGN)

that regularly, with the increase of these residues, it will damage valves or make them difficult to be operated, so it's
necessary to regularly make sewage for body cavity through release device in the root of valve body. If not, we
strongly recommend that take sewage treatment before freeze season
- Use the double block and bleed feature of valve to realize the sewage treatment.
7.3 Double block and bleed
Use of ball valve's double block and bleed features can make on-line sewage treatment for body cavity and inspection
of seat sealing integrity.
- In the discharge and relief process, the medium will spray out at fast speed under high pressure, and accompanied
by considerable noise. Stuffs must wear suitable personal protective clothes and stick to the relevant safety
requirements.
- Note the direction of the medium spray! Make sure that others and you are in safe condition.
- Forbid carrying out the discharge operation when the valve is in fully open or partly open position.
- Discharge operation process
1) The release device in valve root can choose release valve. As Figure 9 shows is our company's typical release
valve structure
2) Typical release valve has one or two bleeding holes, please notice their position. In discharge, any objects in
the valve or release valve will spray out at a fast speed. If necessary, it can change the direction of bleeding
hole through tightening the release valve.
3) Valve is in closed position.
4) Carefully counter clockwise loosen the hex nut of release valve to the ring, open the channel of release
valve.It must use wrench to fix release valve when loosen the internal hex screw, to prevent the connection
screw of release valve and body from loosen. Do not discharge the release valve when body is under pressure.
5) Close the release valve after bleeding.
6) If the valve can not stop flowing, which indicates the seat is leakage, please repair it according to Section 8.

Figure 9. Typical Drain Valve

7.4 Cleaning seat

- Seat cavity is the main area that can be easily polluted in pipeline valve. In order to ensure that seat can be moved
freely, it is recommended that use the cleaning liquid that recognized by factory to clean the seat cavity（the
frequency of regular cleaning depends on the situation of medium, but once a year is the guiding principle).
- Inject the cleaning liquid into seat cavity through seat’s injection system.
- After cleaning the seat, it's recommended that inject into lubricate grease regularly.
