Closure Design
Options
To accommodate most applications
Yale closures are available for HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL or ANGLE installations.
Horizontal closures are equipped with
side arm hinges or jib arm hinges depending
on closure size and pressure rating.
Side arm hinges are hinged on the left
side (facing the closure) unless ordered
otherwise.
Jib arm hinges will permit the cap
to swing to either side after opening,
thus providing greater installation and
operational flexibility.
Six inch and larger closure caps for
vertical installations are suspended from
a davit hinge by a threaded center pin
having the same thread pitch as the closure.
Angled closure hinges are custom
designed to match the specified incline
or decline angle.
All closure hinges are adjusted at the
factory to support the entire weight of the
closure cap. This prevents the cap from
resting on the threads of the mating hub
and allows even the heaviest of caps to
be easily rotated off and on the threaded
hub. If field adjustment is necessary, the
horizontal jib and the 26" and larger vertical
davit have adjustment in two planes permitting fast, positive positioning of the
cap relative to the hub. Twenty-four inch
and smaller vertical davits have adjustments
in the vertical plane only.

CLOSURE ACCESSORIES
Closure Caps
Conversion:
Closure to Figure 505 Pipeline
Union
Twelve inch and smaller ANSI
Series 150 - 600 closures can be
converted to Yale Figure 505 unions.
This is a convenient method to
extend the pipeline without welding.

SWING-BOLT CLOSURES
CAMLOCK Bolt
Swing-Bolt
Swing-Bolt
Design Features
Swing-Bolt Closures consist
of an ellipsoidal cap hinged to a hub.
Heat treated, high strength eye bolts,
pinned to lugs on the hub, swing clear
of the cap after the nuts are loosened.
If faster operation is desired, CAMLOCK
bolts can be furnished.
An O-ring in the cap provides a
positive pressure energized seal. The
mating surfaces are machined to
provide self-alignment between the
cap and hub.
Safety Features
The holding lugs on the cap are
angled inward. This feature insures
that the bolt cannot slide off the top
lugs under load or in the course of
tightening the nut. It also requires that
the nut be loosened a few extra turns
to clear the cap lugs, thus permitting
the cap to lift and bleed any residual
pressure that might be present while
the cap remains securely retained.
CAMLOCK Bolt
Materials
Standard materials used in
all components of Swing-Bolt
closures are made to ASTM specifications and are the types permitted under
ASME Section VIII, Division I, Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code.
Standard Swing-Bolt closure
material is SA 516 Grade 70
normalized. Bolts are SA 449 and
lugs are SA 36 steel. All sizes
of closures can be furnished with
stainless steel parts upon request.
10
Code Compliance
Swing-Bolt closures are designed
in accordance with the requirements
of ASME Section VIII, Division 1,
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and
can be provided with the code stamp
and U-2A Partial Data Report.

O-Ring Materials
Swing-Bolt closure O-Rings
are available in Nitrile (NBR), FKM,
(Viton) and Ethylene Propylene
(EP) materials. Pressure, temperature
and chemical environments need
to be considered when selecting
O-Ring material. See page 5 of this
catalog for more O-Ring material
recommendations.
Vertical Installations
The specification table gives the
approximate force required to open
the vertical closure cap. On larger
closures, hinge springs are an
available option to assist in opening.
