INTRODUCTION

Parveen products assures you of dependable valve which will give you years of
trouble free service with a minimum care and maintenance. The manual prepared to
assist our valve owner in the installation, operation and routine maintenance of
Parveen valves. Further any special instruction, assistance or service please write
or call our factory, our nearest representative. This manual applies only for Parveen
model- slab gate valve.
These valves are bi-directional-slab-gate type with pressure-actuated seats features:

• Full bore through conduit

• Bleed and block mechanism
• Long life floating seat with self-relief function
• In line maintenance
• Metal to metal sealing between gate – seat
• Metal to metal stem back seat
• Low torque for easy operation
• Non rising and non balanced stem
• Forged body and bonnet construction

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: -
All the valves are supplied in a ready but should be inspected for loose or damage
during transportation. Valve must be in opened before installing and hydro-testing
valves should be thoroughly drained to eliminate water on other test fluid from body.

OPERATION OF SLAB MODEL VALVE:-

This valve has two floating seats, each consisting of a steel ring with an elastomer
ring. in its back .

When hand wheel rotated in clockwise direction the gate moves across the conduit
openings. The floating action of the gate and seat makes a total pressure actuated
seal, which holds tight both upstream and downstream pressure. Because of this
pressure-actuated type of seal, it is not necessary to close or open the model-t valve
hard to affect a tight seal. In case of very low pressure differential in slab model
valve, it is advantageous to back off on turn from full open on full closed position to
allow the gate and seats to float freely and effect a tighten sealing.

I. Periodic Maintenance
A. Lubrication
1. Recommended Body Cavity Lubricant
a. For normal operation, use greases not affected by water or
temperatures ranging from –20° to +250° F.
b. For continuous service below 0°F, use any low temperature grease.
2. Recommended Stem Bearing Lubricant
a. For normal operation use valve lubricant grease not affected by water
or temperatures ranging from –20° to +250° F.
b. For continuous service below 0° F, use any low temperature grease.
C. Body Cavity Lubrication
a. Normal Operating Conditions
Parveen lubricates gate valves on assembly. Lubricate the body cavity after the
valve has been in service one month. If the valve is removed from service, lubricate
the body cavity before returning it to the line.
a. Remove the grease-fitting cap located on the bonnet flange OD.
b. Using either a bucket type gun, connect the grease gun coupler to the
grease fitting.
c. Pump the appropriate amount of lubricant into the body cavity.
2. Unusual Temporary Operating Conditions
If it becomes necessary to cement through, acidize through, or subject the valve to
any other unusual service.
a. Lubricate the valve body cavity before it is put into operation.
b. Flush the valve with appropriate neutralizing fluid after it is removed
from service.
c. Operation the valve with fresh water or appropriate neutralizing fluid in
the line.
d. Lubricate the valve body cavity.

D. Thrust Bearing Lubrication

Lubricate the thrust bearings as often as required to ensure smooth valve operation.
1. Using a hand-held grease gun, connect the grease gun fitting to the hydraulic
grease fittings with a hydraulic coupler.
2. Pump lubricant into the fittings until clean grease appears at the bleed port on
the opposite side of the bearing cap.

III. Bonnet Grease Fitting Replacement. (Refer Fig.II)

1. Backs seat the valve.
a. Close the valve fully.
b. Loosen the bearing cap four completes turns using a 24’’ pipe wrench.
c. Turn the hand wheel clockwise (the closing direction) until the gate
firmly contacts the bottom of the cavity, and the stem moves outwards
contacting the internal backseat shoulder.
