Control valves, type 470/471
1 General
Thls type of control valve is suited to regulate fluids, gases and steams. The valve
plug is normally a parabolic plug, but can also be supplied in a perforated design .
Both types of plugs can have either linear or equal percentage flow characteristic.
The flow direction for parabolic plugs is always against the closing direction.
However, with perforated plugs for steam and gases, it is in the closing direction. If
a valve with a perforated plug is operated by means of a pneumatic actuator with the
flow in the closing direction, the pneumatic actuator should have a stronger thrust
force. Thls is necessary to prevent thumping near to the closing position.
All control valves can be fitted alternately with manual-, pneumatic-, electric- or
hydraulic operation devices.

2 Operation
2.1 Fitting instructions
The valve should be inserted so that the spindle has a vertical position together with
the actuator. The valve can also be tilted to a maximum horizontal position if the
installation point does not allow any better condition.
To guarantee a disturbance free function of the control valve, the inlet and outlet
stretches of the piping should be of straight piping length (min. two times the pipe
diameter by inlet and six times by outlet). The piping should be rinsed to clear out
any pollution, welding beads, rust, etc. before inserting the control valves. A strainer
should be fitted in front of the control valve to catch the remaining particles. Bolts
should be tightened after taking into operation.
The flow direction is signalled by an arrow on the valve body. The valves should be
insulated against high temperatures to guard the actuator.
2.2 Actuator assembly
The control valves are nonnally delivered with actuators already fitted. For
alternations or maintenance of actuator, the assembly should occur in accordance
with the operation instructions for the actuator.
2.3 Setting into operation
When the piping system is filled, the spindle sealing should be checked for leakage
and, if necessary, tightened. A PTFE-V-ring unit does not require any tightening as
the spring tension maintains the necessary force .
The bolts must be tightened gradually in steps, diametrically in pairs, but not tighter
than it is necessary for the sealing. Flange connection bolts should never be loosened
or tightened when the valve is under temperature or pressure even if a leakage may
arise.
For actuators please see to the appropriate actuator operation instructions.

3 Maintenance
Before any maintenance of the control valve is carried out, the piping system must
be shut off and pressure free.
3.1 Exchange of the stuffing-box packing
A leak stuffing-box packing should initially be carefull y tightened to stop the
leakage. If this does not help, a new layer should be inserted, or the complete
packing should be replaced .
3.1.1 Additional packing layer
Step A: Open the valve full y and unscrew the hexagon nuts ( 17).
Step B: Lift the gland flange (7) and the spindle guiding (8) upwards.
Step C: Insert adequate quantity of packing rings (split ring-di splacement, splitting
at 180 0 to avoid overlapping).
Step D: Fix the hexagon nuts ( 17) properl y.
3.1.2 E xchange
Step A: Drive the actuator into middle posit ion and dismantle the actuator.
Step B: Unscrew the hexagon nuts (17) from the studs (15).
Step C: Remove the gland flange (7), the spindle guiding (8) and the o ld stuffing
box (10) and clean the packing compartment.
Step D: Clean the valve spindle and check for damage and if necessary replace. If
the damaged spindle is not replaced. the new packing will leak after a short
period.
Step E: Insert the new packing rings (split ring-displacement, splitting at 180 0 to
avoid overlapping).
Step F: Fix the hexagon nuts (17) properly.
Note: Strenuous tightening will prevent leakage, but will also have a brake
effect on the spindle which aggravates the movement of tbe spindle.
3.2 Exchange of a PTFE-V-ring sealing unit
A PTFE-V-ring unit is spring loaded and has enough set pressure to ensure a good
seal even by low operation pressures. It is replaced as mentioned above.
The PTFE-V-ring sealing unit should be lubricated before it is inserted. The sealing
lips must face against the pressure direction.

Note: Special care should be given to tbe spindle surface. Rough surfaces wear
the sealing lips enormously a nd can be due to fa ilure of tbe packing unit.
3.3 Exchange of the bellow unit
Step A: Drive the actuator jnto middle position and dismantle the actuator.
Step B: Unscrew the screw joint (7.1) .
Step C: Unscrew the hexagon nuts (17) and remove the bellow housing (25) .
Dismantle the plug as described in the next sect inn .
Step D: Unscrew the hexagon nuts ( 17. 1) and dismantle the mounting bonnet (3. 1).
Step E: The bellow unit (26) is removed from the bellow housing (25) .
Step F: Replace the two gaskets (14.1) and the gasket (14) .
Step G: When the bellow unit (26) is replaced. the proper position of the ant i-
twisting device must be observed.
Step H: The set pins (21) have to drive within the slots of the anti-twisting device.
Check for friction-free movement.
Step I: Replace mounting bonnet (3. 1) and screw down the hexagon nuts (17 .1)
crosswise.
3.4 Exchange of the plug-spindle unit
Step A: Drive the actuator into middle position and dismantle the actuator.
Step B: Unscrew the gland flange (7).
3.4.2 Control valve type 470
Step A: Unscrew the hexagon nuts (17) and dismantle the mounting bonnet (3).
Step B: Pull out the plug with the spindle and exchange this unit.
Step C: Remove the spring-type straigbt pin (19) and unscrew the spindle (6) .
Step D: Replace the old parts and assemble it.
Step E: Drill a hole through the plug shaft and insert a new pin.
Step F: Replace the gasket (14) and assemble the mounting bonnet (3).
Step G: Tighten the nuts (17) evenly, crosswise.

3.4.3 Control valve type 471
Step A: Unscrew the hexagon nuts (17) aod dismantle the bellow housing (25) with
plug (5).
Step B: Drive the spindle in the bottom position and remove the spring-type straight
pin (19).
Step C: Unscrew the plug.
Step D: Screw a new plug at the spindle and drill through the shaft. Drive the
spring-type straight pin (19) into the hole.
Step E: Replace the gasket ( 14).
Step F: Assemble the bellow housing (25) with plug (5) together with the body (I)
and fix it by screwing the hexagon nuts (17) crosswise.
The spindle cao only be completely replaced together with the bellow.
3.5 Changing the seat ring
The seat ring is screwed into the valve body. The seat ring can be obtained after
removing the bonnet and can then be refmished or replaced as required.
Step A: Clean and lubricate the thread and conical sealing surface before insertion.
