I. INSPECTION 1. Operate all valves, fully opened and closed, before installing to ensure functionality. II. THREADED INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Assure the valve is suitable for service to which it is being applied. Contact NIBCO Technical Services with any concerns or questions: (888) 446-4226. 2. To ensure proper installation, standard piping practices should be followed. 3. NIBCO 2-piece ball valves are bi-directional service valves and can be installed in any orientation, vertically or horizontally. 4.

5. Repeat step 4 on threaded insert end. 6. Upon completion of steps 1 – 5, leave the valve in the closed position until cool. 7. Heat from soldering, if excessive, may affect PTFE stem packing. After completion of soldering, it may be necessary to tighten packing gland. Always check for leakage after installation. WARNING: DO NOT under any circumstances, solder the downstream end of this valve while there is upstream pressure/or with fluid trapped in the cavity around the ball.

3. Packing Adjustment a. If stem leakage occurs, tighten packing to compensate for wear. The packing nut (under handle) should be tightened in 1/8- to 1/4-turn increments, just enough to stop leakage. This can be done with any appropriate flat-jawed wrench. Packing nut shall not be tightened in excess of torque specified in Table 1. b. Please contact NIBCO Customer Service or reference latest applicable NIBCO Price Sheet for available replacement parts. VIII. HANDLE OPTIONS 1.

i. Actuate valve to open or closed position, whichever shall be locked. ii. The handle contains .150 inch and .275 inch holes for locking. Insert locking device into appropriate-sized hole in handle. Evaluate effectiveness. iii. Lockout/tagout devices should always be confirmed for use upon installation per OSHA Lock-Out/Tag-Out guidelines. 3. Memory Stop Lever Handle (MS) a. The Memory Stop Lever Handle allows flow through the valve to be balanced by limiting ball position from full-open.

NOTE: The clear protective sleeve is designed to separate the line insulation from the valve handle, allowing valve operation without damaging the insulation. An adhesive may be used to form a bond between insulation and the clear protective sleeve, up to approximately 1/2" below the top of the NIBSEAL Handle. Cycle valve after adhesive has dried to assure proper rotation of the handle and proper valve function. c. Solder End Valves i.

iii. The valve handle must never be used as a hand hold or foot support. iv. Even though the handle is designed for throttling, by use of the memory stop feature, the application characteristics must be considered prior to actual usage in order to prevent damage to the valve seats from excessively high velocity.

IX. FIELD-REPLACEABLE REPAIR PARTS While components inside the pressure vessel cannot be replaced, a repair kit consisting of replacement packing, packing nut, and handle stop pin are available by valve size. To order, contact NIBCO Customer Service.
