Fully Welded Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve
XDV Full Weld Ball Valve Design Features
”Seamless Carbon steel or stainless Steel Body: All welded ball valve body is compact and streamline for maximum strength and minimum weight.
”stainless Steel Ball: The stainless steel ball is produced to extremely tight tolerances, and ground to within microns of perfect roundness to assure smooth operations and a tight seal.
”Optional Locking Device With Position Indicator: Instantly readable locking device that shows the valve operating position.
”Stem Bearings: These bearings are produced from an electrically conductive material that provides a safety grounded stem to eliminate static build-up and potential arcing.
”SEAT SEALS: The special 25% carbonized PTFE (Teflon)(G-453)seals tightly, yet allows easy. low-torque, quarter-turn operation.
”STAINLESS LABELS: Every label is permanently stamped, color coded with traceable serial numbers for each valve
”SEAT QUALITY FEATURES: Do not absorb water, and does not expand Chemical resistant, High friction characteristics Good temperature stability, Tested and approved up to 250℃

Ball valves are normally installed in horizontal pipe with vertical stem.
These valves can also be installed with no limitation regarding the pipe or stem orientation.
However, in this case the actual pipe/stem orientation should be advised to allow for the right position of the drain plug.
Unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturing plant, the valve should be installed with the ball in the open position, to ensure that the seat rings are not damaged during installation.
Particular care should be taken with those valves equipped with ‘fail-close’ actuators.
For operating temperatures above 200°C (392°F) thermal insulation of the valve body is recommended.
Handling and lifting of the valves during installation MUST be performed following the same criteria and instructions described in previous points “2.2 Handling Requirements” and “2.3 Storage and
Preservation before Installation”.
Position the valve and check the alignment with the pipe.
Proceed with welding, in accordance with the applicable welding procedure.
Important:
It is recommended to perform piping flushing before installation of the valve. If this is not possible, the valve must be set with the ball in full open position before starting with flushing.
To avoid any damage to the gaskets, the temperature during the pipe welding and the heat treatment has to be monitored by a thermocouple placed in the seat grease injector holes.
Make sure to limit the temperature at maximum of 200°C.
This instruction has to be carefully followed especially in case there are not any transition piece (pup piece) welded to the valve.
Valves with flanged ends should be treated as a single unit and should not be dismantled when installing to pipeline.
Before installing the valves, make sure that the flanges on the mating pipe are free from excessive grit, dirt or burrs, and that there is no mechanical damage to the flanges on the pipe.
When inserting the flange bolts, make sure the bolts are correct size to hold pressure and axial forces.
