In some instances, valve design permits field ad~ jusemene or reph cement of rubber seats when leakage occurs past che disc. Unless the owner has skilled personnel and proper equipment, any major internal problem will probably require removal of the valve from the line and return to the manu- faccurer for repair. A8.1 Normal maintenance is in the area of shaft seals and actuators, Seal leakage, broken parts, hard operation, and, in some cases, seat leakage should be corrected by a repair crew as soon as possible after a defect is reported. A.8.2. If repairs are to be made in the field, repair crews should take a full complement of spare parts to the jobsite. Be sure co review the valve manufacturer's maintenance instructions prior to any repair work. A.8.3 Provision should be made to stop line low and isolate the valve from line pressure prior to performing any corrective maintenance, A.84 After completing repairs, cycle the valve through one complete oper- ating cycle and, after line pressure has been restored, inspect for leakage. A.8.5 If major repairs require removal of a valve for repair, be sure to notify interested parties in the water department and fire department thac the valve and line are out of service. On completion of repair and reinstallation, notify the same personnel of the return of the valve and line to service.

Manufacturers of butterfly valves developed tight-closing, rubber- seated types for cooling water systems and power stations. Since 1940, most new valves installed for this type of service have been rubber-scated buccertly. Since the late 1940s, eubberseated butterfly valves have gained increased accep- tance for use in water treatment plants and water supply and distribution lines because they (1) provide tight shutoff; (2) are relatively easy C0 operate, ev with large pressure differentials across the valves; and (3) require relatively little space for installation, LB. History. ‘The need for standardization of butterfly valves was recognized by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) in June 1953. The comn id for the task of standardization developed AWWA C504, which w later. in 1958, th proved as tentative and published in September 1954, Four centative standard was accepted as a standard. The 1954 tentative standard was written co describe the then-available types of standard rubber-scated butterfly valves that had been in successful operation for at least five years prior to 1954, ‘The standard established three pressure and two velocity elas- sifications, standards for mater Is, laying lengths, minimum body and dise designs. and actuator sizes for valves having rubber seats in the valve body Since the publication of AWWA C504 i |. In September 1962. a new commit alve designs have been improved and refine c was charged with the task of reviewing AWWA '504 and recommending revisions to the standard in order to make ic compatible with then-current valve designs. Generally, modern bucerfly-valve designs for wa psi (172 kPa), 75 psi (517 kPa), 150-psi (1,034-KPa), and 250-psi (1,723-kPa) pressure classes; flanged, mechanical-joint, and wafer bodies; rubber seats er service include castsbody construction in 2 in valve bodies or on the valve dises: and operating, conditions (limiced by the design shutoff pressure and velocities of water flow) that produce torques considered maxi- mum for the shaft size used. re, 25 West 43ed Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036. * American National S 24 AWWA C504-10 6.214 Flange protection.
