Installation Instructions
Caution: Due to the low ductility of cast iron the following
installation procedures must be followed in order to mini-
mize any chance of damage to the valve:
Item 1
Use a full-face gasket. The flange of this valve is a flat faced
flange and is designed for this type of gasket.
Item 2
Gasket material should be elastomeric or compressed sheet.
This will assure proper sealing when installed in accordance with
these practices.
Item 3
Recommended flange bolt torques are as follows:
2" thru 4" (50-100mm) valve (
1 ⁄
2
" bolt) 58 foot pounds
6" thru 8" (150-200mm) valve ( 3 ⁄
4
" bolt) 83 foot pounds
10" (250mm) valve ( 7 ⁄
8
" bolt) 144 foot pounds
Item 4
Assure proper piping alignment and spacing. Any gap between
valve and mating flange should be less than 1 ⁄
8
". All of the above
procedures are based upon ANSI B16.5 entitled Pipe Flanges
and Flanged Fittings, and accepted industry practice.
