this journal bearing will be flush with the valve body
bore.
5. Insert the outboard journal bearing (key 10) into
the bore on top of the extension housing.
6. Install the valve disc by placing the disc into the
valve body bore so the curved side of the disc
passes through the end of the valve body that does
not contain the T-slot. Align the shaft bore in the disc
with the bearing bores.
7. Insert the drive shaft end opposite the double D
or keyed end into the valve body through the
packing box. Push the shaft through the bearing
stop. Taking care not to dislodge the journal bearing,
push the shaft through the journal bearing and the
valve disc and into the bore on the opposite side of
the valve body.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the taper key,
tangential pins, disc pins, valve disc,
or shaft(s) resulting from the
application of excessive force, use
appropriate care when driving the key
or pins into the disc hub and shaft(s).
Use the right tool. Do not use
excessive force.
8. Be sure the taper key disc shaft joint is free of oil
or grease. If necessary, remove any excess welding
material from the taper key.
9. Align the taper key hole in the shaft with the holes
in the shaft boss on the disc. Insert the taper key.
Use a flat-end punch to drive the taper key until solid
contact is felt. Measure the depth of the taper key
head for a reference during the following steps.
a. Drive the taper key in farther as follows:
Valve Size, Inches
Minimum Depth to Drive
Taper key After Initial Solid
Contact, mm (Inches)
ANSI Class 150 and 300,
size 3, 4, 6-inch valves, and
8-inch ANSI Class 150 valves
5 (0.188)
b. The disc, shaft, and taper key assembly must
be inspected to verify that the taper key spans
the entire shaft flat width. If so, this procedure is
complete. If not, the taper key must be driven in
farther until this condition is satisfied. However,
do not exceed the following depth limits:
Valve Size, Inches
Maximum Allowable Depth to
Drive Taper key After Initial
Solid Contact, mm (Inches)
3, and 4-inch ANSI Class 150/300 7 (0.281)
6-inch ANSI Class 300, and 8-inch
ANSI Class 150
8 (0.312)
10. After driving the taper key in place, arc spot
weld the head of the taper key to the disc. For valve
sizes 3-, 4-, and 6-inch, use an arc spot weld bead
of 1/8-inch diameter. For valve sizes 8-, 10-, and
12-inch sizes, use an arc spot weld bead of
3/16-inch diameter.
11. Install the packing as described in the Packing
Replacement section.
Installing a Two-Piece Shaft
Unless otherwise indicated, key numbers and part
names are listed in figures 7 and 8.
1. Secure the valve in an upright position. Allow for
easy access to the valve body bore. Allow for easy
access to the drive shaft bearing bore and the
follower shaft bearing bore.
2. Inspect all parts removed from the valve for wear
or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts.
Clean the valve body and all parts to be installed
with an appropriate solvent or degreaser.
CAUTION
Premature valve failure and loss of
process control may result if bearings
are improperly installed or are
damaged during installation.
3. Using caution to prevent damage to the bearings,
insert the required number of journal bearings (key
9) from the valve body bore into the drive shaft
bearing bore. When properly installed, one end of
the journal bearing(s) will be flush with the interior
end of the extension housing, the other end of the
journal bearing(s) will be flush with the valve body
bore.
The drive shaft thrust bearing (key 28) will be
installed in step 6.
4. Insert one journal bearing from the valve body
bore into the follower shaft bearing bore so it is flush
with the valve body bore.
5. Insert the outboard journal bearing (key 10) into
the bore on top of the extension housing.
6. Insert the drive shaft into the valve body through
the extension housing . Push the drive shaft through
