Installation:
Install the valve in the system using the proper size
and type mating flanges and Ring Type Gaskets. The
Launch/Receive direction and Catcher Side is noted
on the Cover of the Gear Operator, See diagram B
for details. The valve orientation is dependent on
whether the valve will be used as a Receiver or a
Launcher. If the valve is to be a Receiver, the Closure
(5)/Davit Assembly (28) should point down (6:00) to
the ground, see launch/receive Procedures. If the
valve is to be used as a launcher the Closure,
(5)/Davit Assembly (28) should point up (12:00) towards the sky, see launch/receive Procedures. Ample
Clearance above and below the valve is required to
install and/or remove the pig.
General Diagram A
Diagram B
After the valve is installed, the closure and davit assembly should be fully operated to ensure it is in
proper working condition. The gear operator is set at
the factory. Before applying pressure to the valve
verify that the Ball is in the open position (Diagram B
indicator is horizontal). Verify that the Equalization
valve (26) is closed. Verify that the bleed fittings (23)
are closed. Verify that the Closure (5) is screwed
down tight ( a few light knocks on the closure lugs
with a striking hammer should be sufficient). Rotate
the ball by turning the Gear hand wheel. Counterclockwise to accept or discharge a pig and clockwise
to launch or Receive.

Operation:
The Tulsa Valve By-Pass Style Pig Valve is designed to be used as either a Launcher or a Receiver. The Installation determines how the valve will be used. Below are basic diagrams outlining
the steps required to either Launch or Receive. Note: Not all assemblies have Gear Operators.
Launching Procedures
Before opening any fittings or closures, first review the orientation of the ball using the Indicator
plate shown in diagram B on page 1. The Indicator diagram must be as shownHorizontal (inline
with the valve flow bore). Follow the instructions below carefully and read the Caution notes.

CAUTION NOTES
Opening any fittings or closures is dangerous. Make sure to follow all
safety precautions when operating this valve. Take measures not to
pollute the atmosphere or ground when opening the vent, drain fittings
or closure. These valves are under high pressures so re-verify that the
pig chamber is vented before opening closure. Improper use may result in serious injury or death.

Davit Assembly
The Davit should not need to be serviced or lubricated. The main lifting and turning components
are either Teflon Composite bearings or Xylan Coated for lubricity and corrosion protection. Use
the drawing and Bill of Material when referencing the Davit and its components.

Reconditioning Valve
Caution! Prior to disassembly, valve must first be isolated from system pressure and flow. Also, with the valve ball at approximately half open, internal pressure must be bled to 0 psi. Finally, as a safety precaution open bleed fittings (23) and
equalizer valve (26). Use proper lifting equipment and tools when disassembling the valve. Valve components are heavy
and care must be exercised when handling components.
Rebuilding Valve
To rebuild the valve, first make sure all seals are in good working condition. Have grease lubricant handy and use it on all
seals. Caution: Make sure any lubricant is compatible with the Seals and the intended valve service conditions.
To rebuild the valve just reverse the instructions above. Install all o-rings and seals on the various components according to
the assembly drawing.
Step 1: Place the wave spring first then the seat carrier (no O-ring required on OD) then seat then ball in the body cavity.
Align the ball stem slot with the bonnet/stem bore to aid in inserting the stem.
Step 2: Put the other seat carrier in the bonnet/closure (this seat carrier uses the o-ring on the OD). The o-ring will hold the
seat carrier in the bonnet. Install the seat in the seat carrier (applying grease to the seat usually holds the seat in the carrier).
Step 3: Slide the bonnet/closure over the body studs and down onto the body. Make sure to align the bleed fittings and
equalizer valve according to the assembly drawing. Install the nuts and tighten to bring the bonnet down onto the body.
Step 4: Push the stem and bonnet/stem as a group into the body and into the ball slot. Use the bonnet bolts to bring the
bonnet down onto the body.
Step 5: Install the closure. Bolt the davit assembly on the bonnet/closure. Align the davit shaft with closure and tighten the
lock nut.
Step 6: Install the gear assembly as required using the gear installation instructions.
Make sure all bolts and nuts are tightened securely. Make sure all bleed fittings and the equalizer valve are installed properly. Rotate the ball to verify its operation. Unscrew the closure and lift the davit to verify they are in proper working condition
(see launching and receiving instructions for this). Test the valve prior to using in service.
