INSTALLATION / START-UP

Shipment: Prior to shipment, each valve is thoroughly tested and pre-adjusted at the factory to the expected field conditions. Any visible damage to the crate or packaging should be immediately brought to the attention of the shipping company and documented with photographs.

Storage: If it is necessary to store the valve before installation, it should be protected from the elements. Inside storage is recommended. If this is not possible, the valve should be protected from dirt, heat, freezing, and direct sunlight.

Installation: 1. Carefully remove all shipping materials and check the valve for any other foreign objects. 2. 3. If possible, flush the line before inserting the valve. The valve is tagged with a model and serial number. It is recommended that the serial number be noted in your records as this will be requested by the factory when any technical support or parts replacement is required. Valve serial number: L__________. The valve is tagged with an arrow indicating the direction of flow through the valve. Place the valve in line with the arrow pointing away from the normal supply source. Note: The valve may be installed in any position (horizontal or vertical), but be aware of the actuator requirements. Do not use the valve body for support, as this will prohibit access to the End Cap #6. Be sure to allow ample clearance underneath the valve. The minimum recommended clearance is: For 12 valves and smaller = 1x the line size For valves over 12 = 0.5 x the line size 7. Actuator types and mounting hardware vary. If the external actuator and/or controls are not attached to the valve when shipped, assembly as identified on the appropriate tags. Refer to additional actuator documentation, as needed. Complete any necessary wiring on the electrical actuator or solenoid valves (if applicable).

Start-Up: 1. Open the main line gate valve (if installed) on the discharge/downstream side of the valve. 2. Slowly open the main line gate valve (if installed) on the inlet/upstream side of the valve. Note: The design of the Model MOV valve does not permit a drip-tight closure. Some nominal leakage through the valve is normal. No lubrication or adjustment to the valve is required or recommended. The valve has been thoroughly tested at the factory and set to the expected field conditions. To open the valve, utilize the actuator provided. For example, initiate the start sequence on the electrical actuator or use the hand-wheel on the manual gear actuator.

OPERATION

The Ross Model MOV Energy Dissipating Valve utilizes a simple two-plate design. The two plates have a matching hole pattern, with different hole profiles that optimize the energy dissipating performance of the valve. The downstream plate is fixed (Fixed Plate #2), while the upstream plate (Linear Plate #3) can move along the axis in line with the Upper Stem #4 and Lower Stem #5. The Linear Plate #3 is positioned by an actuator in order to achieve the desired flow or pressure through the valve. When the Linear Plate #3 is in the down position (at the furthest point in its travel away from the actuator), the hole patterns between the two plates line up and allow flow to pass through the open valve. As the Linear Plate #3 rises up, less and less of the hole pattern overlaps as it gradually closes off the flow through the valve.

The distance between the plates is controlled by the Taper Ring #10. Tightening the taper ring will reduce the gap between the plates and reduce the leakage rate, but will increase the friction and, consequently, may increase the force required to operate the valve. Note: The design of the Model MOV valve does not permit a drip-tight closure. Some nominal leakage is normal. A variety of actuator types are available. They can be used individually or in combination. The three most common are: EA Electric Actuator MG Manual Gear HYC Hydraulic Cylinder

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Intervals of inspection vary from valve to valve. Type of valve, quality of the water being handled, rates of flow, operating pressures, frequency of use, and past maintenance practices all have a bearing on the length of service between overhauls. We suggest periodic inspections in order to check for proper valve operating pressures, as well as any visual leaks. Should the operator encounter any external leakage, or find any abnormalities in the operating pressures resulting from the operation of the valve, the valve should be scheduled for service. As a suggested starting point, the following should be performed every six (6) months: Inspect the entire valve for any visual external leakage. Note: With regular wear, a small amount of leakage from the packing retainer (part #7) is normal, and can usually be corrected by tightening the cap slightly. Perform an open/close valve cycle. Observe operating pressures/flows compared to historical data. Inspect actuator and verify it is in good working condition.

Spare Parts: No spare parts are required or recommended. Under normal operating conditions, no spare parts would be necessary within five (5) years of service. The standard repair kits for Ross Model MOV valves are in stock at the factory, and available for immediate shipment upon receipt of the order with the valve serial number. The serial number is stamped into a metal tag pinned to the main valve shell.

Special Tools: No special tools are required for operation, adjustment or maintenance of the valve.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

We suggest periodic inspections in order to check for proper valve operating pressures, as well as any visual leaks. Should the operator encounter any external leakage, or find any abnormalities in the operating pressures resulting from the operation of the valve, the valve should be scheduled for service. Note: When entering a valve pit to inspect a valve, all regulations regarding Confined Space Entry should be observed. Replacement of all standard seals may be made without removing the valve from the line. Steps for internal repairs: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Shut the inlet (upstream) main line isolation valve, drain the line, then shut the outlet (downstream) main line isolation valve. Move the MOV valve to the full open position (away from the actuator). Loosen the set screws on Coupling #30 and remove Connection Pin #33. Unscrew the lock nut and Coupling #30 from the Upper Stem #4. At this point, the entire actuator assembly can be disconnected from the valve body and removed, however, note that the Actuator Stem #31 will need to be reinstalled in the same position to allow for replacement of the Connection Pin #33. Alternatively, the actuator stem #31 can be driven up manually, provided this allows enough clearance to access and remove the required valve components. Remove the cap on the Packing Retainer #7, then remove the six (6) Packing Retainer Bolts #27. Lift the Packing Retainer #7 straight up and out of the Valve Body #1, and replace the Packing Retainer O-Ring #11. We recommend applying o-ring lube to all new o-rings. Carefully remove the Snap Ring #21, then remove the Sleeve Insert #19 by pulling it straight up and out of the Valve Body #1. Note: The Sleeve Insert #19 is held in place by o-rings, so tapped holes are provided to make its removal easier. Replace the external Sleeve Insert O-Ring #17 and the two (2) internal Sleeve Insert O-Rings #24. We recommend applying o-ring lube to all new o-rings.

10. Inspect parts for signs of any abnormal wear, and remove and debris or residue with a clean rag. 11. Replace parts (from steps 6 through 9) in reverse order, taking extra caution when installing the Sleeve Insert #19. This should be rotated and pressed simultaneously to allow the o-rings to roll into place and not get pinched or torn. Note: Prior to installing the cap on the Packing Retainer #7, replace the glands and packing wicks (if provided), taking care to alternate the seams. 12. Reattach the actuator assembly (if removed) and the Coupling #30 with lock nut, taking care to align the holes for the Connection Pin #33. Replace Connection Pin #33 and secure set screw. Refer to the actuator documentation for any required calibration procedures. 13. Remove the four (4) End Cap Bolts #26 and the End Cap #6. Replace End Cap O-Ring #23. We recommend applying o-ring lube to all new o-rings. 14. Remove Lower Stem Bolts #28 and Lower Stem #5 by pulling straight down and out of the Valve Body #1. Replace the Lower Stem O-Ring #25. We recommend applying o-ring lube to all new o-rings. 15. Replace parts (from steps 13 and 14) in reverse order, taking extra caution when installing the Lower Stem #5. This should easily fit back into the Lower Bearing #12 and Lower Slide Bearing #13. 16. Note the position of the valve (open or closed) before slowly opening the main line isolation valves. All replaceable packings and gaskets are stock items and may be ordered as a repair kit for valve Serial Number L________ (located on the metal tag pinned directly to the valve).
