1. Face-to-face dimensions are in compliance with MSS SP68 and API 609
specifications.
2. Minimum I.D. is the minimum pipe or flange I.D. required for disc swing
clearance.
CAUTION
The Type A31A Cryogenic valve is
designed for use with the appropriate
piping schedule for the specified ANSI
class. Minimum inside diameters for
flanges or pipe mating with valves are
shown in tables 2 and 3. Be certain to
align the valve accurately to avoid
contact between the disc and the
flanges. Improper alignment or
insufficient space for disc rotation
could result in damage to the disc.
Additionally, be certain that the valve
body and any adjacent pipelines are
free of foreign material, such as pipe
scale or welding slag that could
damage the valve seating surfaces.

1. Face-to-face dimensions are in compliance with MSS SP68 and API 609
specifications.
2. Minimum I.D. is the minimum pipe or flange I.D. required for disc swing
clearance.
3. Select the appropriate gaskets for the application.
Flat sheet, spiral wound, or other gasket types,
made to ANSI B16.5 group or user’s standard, can
be used on the valves depending on the service
conditions of the application.
4. Refer to table 4 for the quantity and size of flange
bolts required.
Installing Wafer-Style Valves
WARNING
The edges of a rotating valve disc have
a shearing effect that may result in
personal injury. To avoid personal
injury, keep clear of the disc edges
when rotating the disc.
1. See figure 3 for recommended valve orientation.
See table 4 for flange bolt specifications. Install the
lower flange bolts first to form a cradle for the valve.
