Valtek CavControl Trim
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions are designed to assist in
assembling, disassembling and troubleshooting
Valtek® globe valves equipped with CavControl™ trim.
Product users should thoroughly review this bulletin in
conjunction with Installation, Operation, Maintenance
Instruction 1 (Mark One and Mark Two Control Valves)
and Installation, Operation, Maintenance Instruction 24
(Valtek Beta Positioner) before installing, operating or
performing any maintenance on the valve.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or dam-
age to valve parts, WARNING and CAUTION
notes must be strictly followed. Modifying this
product, substituting non-factory or inferior
parts, or using maintenance procedures other
than outlined could drastically affect perfor-
mance and be hazardous to personnel and
equipment.
Installation
Standard unpacking and installation instructions are
outlined in Installation, Operation, Maintenance Instruc-
tion 1. Regardless of the air-action, valves equipped
with CavControl trim must be installed in the line with the
flow direction over the plug.
CAUTION: Improper installation will result in severe
cavitation damage to the valve.
NOTE: Flowserve recommends a strainer be installed
upstream of the valve prior to start-up. This will help
prevent debris build-up and trim fouling.
DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Disassembling CavControl Trim
When disassembling valves with CavControl trim, refer
to either figure 1 or 2 and proceed as follows:
WARNING: Depressurize line to atmospheric pres-
sure or remove valve from line and drain all process
fluids and decontaminate the valve (if caustic or
hazardous materials are present). Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury.
1. Stroke the valve to the full open position by applying
air to the lower cylinder port.
2. Remove the bonnet flange bolting and lift the ac-
tuator/plug assembly out of the valve body.
CAUTION: Lift the actuator/plug assembly
straight out of the valve body to avoid damage
to the plug head, seat ring or trim. If the actuator
is not provided with a lifting ring, use lifting
straps around the yoke legs.
WARNING: With pressure-balanced trim,
danger exists in removing the actuator/plug
assembly out of the valve body, especially if
PTFE pressure seals are used on the plug. The
pressure-balanced sleeve could bind on the
plug, allowing the sleeve to be lifted out of the
body along with the actuator/plug assembly. If
the sleeve should loosen and fall, it could cause
personal injury and damage valve parts or
nearby equipment. Step 3 outlines the correct
procedure for removing the sleeve from the
plug.

3. If the pressure-balanced sleeve binds with the plug,
carefully lift the sleeve out with the actuator/plug
assembly. Place several sturdy, soft supports (pref-
erably wood) underneath the sleeve after it clears
the body. Lower the actuator/plug assembly until
the sleeve and the supports are resting on top of the
body.
NOTE: The above procedure is designed to prevent
damage to the body should the sleeve fall during
disassembly.
To free the sleeve from the plug, apply air above the
actuator piston, extending the plug. This creates a
gap between the bonnet and sleeve. Insert wood
blocks of equal thickness in at least three positions
in this gap. Blocks should be at least 1-inch thick and
should be positioned so as to not interfere with the
plug head. Finally, retract the plug until the sleeve is
free of the plug.
4. If the sleeve has not been removed with the plug, lift
it out of the valve body.
5. Remove the seat ring and gaskets from the valve
body.
6. If the plug is pressure-balanced, remove the plug
seals.
7. If necessary, the plug may be removed from the
actuator and bonnet in accordance with the basic
valve instructions.
Reassembling CavControl Trim
When reassembling valves with CavControl trim, refer
to either Figure 1 or 2 and proceed as follows:
1. Install new bonnet and seat ring gaskets.
2. Reinstall seat ring and sleeve.
3. For pressure-balanced trim, install a new sleeve
gasket on sleeve and new plug seals on plug head.

4. Retract plug to the full-open position by applying air
to the lower cylinder port.
5. Lower the actuator/plug assembly squarely into
the valve body.
CAUTION: Lower plug squarely into sleeve to
prevent galling and scoring of trim parts. Plug
seals must be compressed, using an appropri-
ate ring compressor, until they enter the
pressure-balanced sleeve. Stagger the cuts on
the PTFE seals or the gaps on the piston ring
seals 180O(for 2 rings) or 120O(for 3 rings) to
minimize leakage.
6. Hand-tighten the bonnet flange bolting.
7. For pressure-balanced trim with PTFE seals, drive
the plug into the sleeve by applying air to the
actuator until the plug seats. Repeat operation, if
necessary, to bring the bonnet fully down into the
body.
8. Stroke the valve two or three times to ensure that
the plug and seat ring are concentrically aligned for
proper seating.
9. Apply air pressure above the actuator piston (or to
the top port) to seat the plug. This ensures that the
plug and seat ring remain concentrically aligned
during the tightening of the bonnet flange bolting.
Tighten two opposing bonnet flange bolts or nuts
1/6of a turn (one flat). Tighten all bolting in this
manner evenly and completely. Proper bonnet
gasket compression occurs when the bonnet is
seated metal-to-metal in the body. This requires
considerable force; however, the bottoming of the
bonnet metal-to-metal in the body can easily be felt
through the wrench.
CAUTION: Insufficient tightening will result in
improper seat ring gasket compression.
10. If the valve has been removed from the line, make
sure flow direction is correct upon reinstallation.
