shaft with the double D or keyed end is
called the drive shaft.
The 3- through 8-inch Class 150 valves
and 3 through 6-inch Class 300 valves
have a one-piece shaft.
Disassembly
WARNING
The edges of a rotating valve disc (key
3) have a shearing effect that might
result in personal injury. To avoid
personal injury, keep clear of the disc
edges when rotating the disc.
CAUTION
When removing the actuator from the
valve, do not use a hammer or similar
tool to drive the lever off the valve
shaft. Driving the lever or actuator off
the valve shaft could damage the valve
internal parts.
If necessary, use a wheel puller to
remove the lever or actuator from the
valve shaft. It is okay to tap the wheel
puller screw lightly to loosen the lever
or actuator, but hitting the screw with
excessive force could also damage
internal valve parts.
Never use a wrench or pliers on the
drive shaft. A damaged shaft could cut
the packing and allow leakage.
Unless otherwise indicated, key numbers and part
names are listed in figures 7 and 8.
1. Remove the actuator and valve, as an assembly,
from the pipeline, and then remove the actuator from
the valve.
Note
It is not necessary to remove the
retaining ring and seal ring when
removing the shaft(s) and disc.
2. Secure the valve in an upright position. Rotate
the disc (key 3) 180 degrees counterclockwise from
the fully closed position by manually turning the drive
shaft.
3. Remove the Anti-Blowout Protection (refer to
figure 6). Remove the hex nuts and pull out the
packing follower.
Note
Class 150 and 300 3- through 24-inch
valve sizes have a bearing stop
pressed into the bearing bore of the
valve body below the extension
housing.
Do not attempt to remove the bearing
stop. If the bearing stop needs
replacement, contact your Fisher sales
office for more information.
4. Remove the packing from around the drive shaft.
Note
Different valves require slightly
different procedures because different
valve sizes/ pressure classes have
different methods of connecting the
disc and shaft(s). To identify the
proper procedures, refer to the list
below.
D Class 150, 3- through 8-inch
sizes: One-piece shaft with 1 taper key.
D Class 150, 10- and 12-inch sizes:
Two-piece shaft. 1 taper key in the
drive shaft; 1 disc pin in the follower
shaft.
D Class 300, 3- through 6-inch
sizes: One-piece shaft with 1 taper key.
D Class 300, 8- and 10-inch sizes:
Two-piece shaft. 1 taper key in the
drive shaft; 1 disc pin in the follower
shaft.
D Class 300, 12-inch size:
Two-piece shaft with 2 tangential pins
in the drive shaft; 1 disc pin in the
follower shaft.
D Class 150 and 300, 14- through
24-inch sizes: Two-piece shaft with 2
tangential pins in the drive shaft; 1
disc pin in the follower shaft.
5. Proceed as appropriate, using the following
instructions.
For valves with taper key(s), locate the taper
key(s) (key 6) which runs through the drive shaft
boss on the back of the valve disc. Using a pin
punch on the smaller end of the key, drive it out of
