LINESEAL XP BUTTERFLY VALVES PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A.

. All butterfly valves shall be of the tight closing, rubber seated type and fully comply with the latest revision of AWWA Standard C504, Class as required, and NSF61 where applicable. Valves shall be bubble-tight at rated pressure class in either direction, and shall be satisfactory for applications, involving throttling service and for applications requiring valve actuation after long periods of inactivity. Valve discs shall rotate 90 from the full open position to the tight shut position. Regardless of valve size, angular disposition of disc can be up to 1 off center without leakage

The manufacture shall have manufactured tight closing, rubber-seated butterfly valves for a period of at least ten years. All valves from 24 through 72 shall be the Triton XR-70 as manufactured by the Mueller Company or an approved equal. All valves from 78 and larger shall be the Triton XL as manufactured by Mueller Company or an approved equal. 1.02 RELATED SECTIONS A.

Discs: Valve discs shall be made from ductile iron ASTM A-536. Disc shall be furnished with stainless steel type 316 edge, with a minimum width equal to the width of disc edge. Seat Valve shall be BUNA-N rubber located on the valve body and isolated from the flow by the body on three sides. Shaft: Valve shaft shall be stainless steel ASTM-A564 Type 630 Condition H1100. Stub shafts or through shafts are acceptable. Seals: Valve seals shall be standard self-adjusting split V packing. Shaft seals shall be of a design allowing replacement without removing the valve shaft. Actuators: Valve actuators shall be traveling nut type, fully grease packed, and have stops in the open/closed position, On 10 and larger valves, the actuator shall be a provided with a compound link and lever mechanism, providing characterized closure. The actuator shall have a mechanical stop which will withstand an input torque of 450 ft. lbs. against the stop. The traveling nut shall engage alignment grooves in the housing. The actuators shall have a built in packing leak bypass to eliminate possible leakage into the actuator housing. Paint: Valve interior and exterior surfaces except for seating shall be coated with Valve interior and exterior surfaces except for seating shall be a minimum of 8 mils Ameron 370.
