See also separate actuator and accessory
instructions for additional installation guidelines.
• Series 3800 E-Ball Rotary Control Valves are manufactured
to order for a specific set of process conditions. Warren
Controls, Inc. maintains all original process information
that each valve was manufactured to. This information
is readily available with the valve serial number. Contact
the appropriate department to verify 800-922-0085.
• Be sure that the fluid pressure, temperature, flow, and
flowing differential pressure will not exceed the limits of
the valve. (See the Body Pressure-Temperature Ratings,
Internal Configurations vs. Max Temp, and Flowing Dif-
ferential Pressure Limits sections.
• Be sure that the ambient temperature of the selected lo-
cation will not exceed the maximum temperature of the
actuator or accessories. Information can be found in the
Product Specification regarding these limits.
• Follow good piping practices. Install a bypass around the
valve. Install stop valves in inlet and outlet piping to pro-
vide means to isolate valve.
• Provide proper inlet and outlet drainage in steam service
to prevent water hammer or possible erosion in equip-
ment.
• Install gauges in inlet and outlet piping to provide means
for checking adjustment and operation.
• For maximum efficiency and minimum wear install valve
in a preferred position. (See Piping Orientation and Ac-
tuator Mounting, Orientation, & Flow Direction sections
in the Product Specification for preferred positions).
• Be sure to leave clearance to allow for actuator removal
(See Dimensions & Weights section in 3800 Product
Specification for actuator removal clearance).
• Before installing, be sure valve and piping are clean in-
side and free of scale, chips, welding spatter, and foreign
material. Thoroughly blow out or flush pipe lines.
Check valve for any damage
due to improper storage or
transportation. Immediately
notify your sales organization
of any damaged goods upon
receipt. Do not attempt to
move or disturb the valve
further so photos may be
taken. If the shipping container
is noticeably damaged refuse
receipt, as the shipping
company should be held liable
until a shipping representative
is available to take photos.
