GENERAL WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow may result in serious personal
injury and damage not only to the equipment but also the environment.
1. Safety is a combination of staying alert, common sense, and experience with the oil field equip-
ment and environment. Read this manual prior to operating and servicing the FL and FLS valve.
Be familiar with the operation terminologies of gate valves and oil field equipment.
2. This document includes basic valve repair guidance. The field service personnel shall be fully
trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equipment as well as of the job that they are
going to perform on the FL & FLS valve models. If any of the procedures and policies listed in this
document cannot be followed, contact a Cameron Representative for the best course of action.
3. Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be utilized according to Company policies. Al-
ways use proper tools when servicing the equipment.
4. A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) must be performed prior to beginning any service on a well location.
A JHA review meeting will be held with all affected rig personnel PRIOR to the commencement of
work to review the results of the JHA, evacuation routes, emergency contacts, etc. All meeting at-
tendees and a Company Representative will sign-off on the JHA to acknowledge this meeting has
taken place.
5. Be aware of unexpected circumstances that may arise when operating or servicing the valve. Uti-
lize the Step Back 5X5 process in order to assess the hazards posed before, during, and after the
servicing of equipment under pressure or with the potential of hazardous chemicals present. Be
familiar with the company’s and facility’s Lockout/Tagout program in order to ensure all sources
of energy (i.e. electrical, pneumatic, pressure) are isolated and/or de-energized prior to beginning
work.
6. All governmental or Company safety requirements shall be met before working on the valve.
Requirements of fully tested pressure barriers prior to servicing the valve shall be observed.
Cameron recommends that two mechanical pressure barriers is the preferred practice. The Lower
Master Valve (LMV) is a critical valve and additional precautions should be taken to ensure that
the mechanical pressure barriers are functioning correctly prior to any work being carried out on
this particular valve.
7. Always check for any trapped pressure before servicing the valve. All valves downstream of the
pressure barriers must be cycled several times to release any trapped pressure.
8. Ensure the chemical and physical properties of the fluid flow product inside the valve are known.
Obtain applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for commonly encountered chemicals such
as hydrogen sulfide, cements, etc. in order to identify appropriate PPE to use, emergencies, proce-
dures, and methods or exposure control.
9. Always use correct lifting devices and follow safety rules in handling heavy products. The weight
of single cavity flanged and hub outlet valves are provided in this document for reference. The
actual valve weight can vary for the valve block configurations. Never attempt to lift the valve
by hand. Do not lift from hand wheel or hand wheel adapter. Valve should be lifted from valve
body or end flange outlets.
10. Cameron manufactures a variety of valve models with different features and operating require-
ments. Be certain of the valve model and refer to the appropriate manual, before attempting any
operation or service on the valve. This document is to assist field personnel in the operation and
maintenance of the FL and FLS hand wheel operated gate valve for valve sizes that are listed in
this document. Different documents are available for other FL/FLS valve sizes.

3.0 VALVE REPAIR
1. The field service personnel shall be fully trained in all aspects of handling pressure control equip-
ment as well as the job that they are going to perform on the FL & FLS valve models. If any of the
procedures and policies listed in this document cannot be followed, contact a Cameron Represen-
tative for the best course of action.
2. If valve repairs are necessary, Cameron recommends that the valve be replaced. However, if field
repairs are required, extra precautions should be taken to ensure all mechanical safety pressure
barriers are in place and functioning.
3. The number of barriers required by the customer and the local statutory shall be reviewed and
observed. If the valve is used in the lower master position, on a BOP outlet, or on a pressurized
manifold, where it is the last surface barrier, additional precautions should be taken to ensure that
sub-surface barriers are in place and functioning.
4. Be aware of unexpected circumstances while repairing the valve. Review the completed JHA and
perform a “Step Back 5x5” to prepare for unplanned situations.
5. Be aware of trapped pressure and the physical and chemical properties of well fluid. Stroke the
valve to verify the release of any trapped pressure. Use proper unseating tool to check any residu-
al trapped pressure through grease fitting.
6. Do not place hands in the bore of the valve, near the location of the gate and seats.
7. Always use the correct tools. The necessary procedures, drawings, or manuals must be made avail-
able to the technician and fully discussed with their supervisor, prior to going on location
8. When contacting Cameron for additional information, have all information on hand from valve
name plate including valve assembly part number and its revision.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS WHEN ASSEMBLING VALVE

• Use thread sealant only on NPT pressure seal threads. Teflon tape is not allowed.
TC148-1 8
3.1 BONNET GREASE FITTING REPLACEMENT
Cameron recommends that two mechanical pressure barriers is the

preferred practice when repairing valve.
Read GENERAL and VALVE REPAIR WARNINGS
Bonnet grease fitting replacement in a live well requires a stem backseat opera-
tion. Check the effectiveness of the backseat before replacing the grease fitting.
There are two types of grease fittings, one for 10,000 psi WP and below. The other
is for 15,000 psi and higher pressure.
3.1.1 Valves 10,000 psi WP and Below

The grease fitting used on 10,000 psi and lower valves uses NPT threads to
install on the bonnet. Cameron recommends the use of thread sealant only
for these threads.
3.1.1.1 Backseat the valve stem
a. Close the valve fully.
b. Loosen the bearing cap four complete turns. Loosen the bearing
cap counter-clockwise using a pipe wrench. After two or three
turns, the cap will rotate freely by hand.
c. Turn the handwheel clockwise (the closing direction) until the
gate firmly contacts the bottom of the cavity and the stem moves
outward, contacting the internal backseat shoulder.
d. Bump the handwheel in the closing direction.
3.1.1.2 Test the effectiveness of the backseat.
a. Remove the grease fitting cap. Be certain the fitting does not ro-
tate with the cap. Do not place any part of one’s body in front of
the fitting vent.
b. Install pressure release tool P/N 2702462 onto the grease fitting.
TC148-1 9
c. Rotate the handle of the tool clockwise until the check valve ball
is upset, and any pressure is vented from the valve backseat.
d. If pressure escapes quickly and then stops, the backseat is effec-
tive. Proceed to step 3.1.1.4 .
If pressure continues to escape, the backseat is ineffective.
e. Backseat the valve again. Repeat steps 3.1.1.1 and 3.1.1.2
f. If the backseat continues to be ineffective, place lock out tag and
contact a Cameron representative.
3.1.1.3 Remove the grease fitting from the valve bonnet
3.1.1.4 Install a new grease fitting
a. Remove the cap from a new grease fitting. Apply thread sealant
to the new fitting and install the fitting in the bonnet. Torque to
80-100 ft-lb (110-140 N•m).
b. Install and tighten the cap on the fitting. Torque to 50-60 ft-lb
(70-85 N•m).
3.1.1.5 Un-backseat the valve
a. Tighten the bearing cap clockwise by hand until it contacts the
bearing.
b. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise (opening direction) ap-
proximately one turn. This procedure will confirm that the stem
backseating shoulder is not contacting the bonnet shoulder.
c. Tighten the bearing cap to approximately 200 ft-lb (280 N•m).
3.1.2 Valves 15,000 psi WP and Above
The standard grease fitting for 15,000 psi and higher pressure valves is a spe-
cial design, metal sealing, high pressure fitting that contains a check valve.
Pressure is relieved by rotating the grease fitting gland to unseat a metal
seal. DO NOT use the pressure release tool on this fitting.
3.1.2.1 Backseat the valve stem.
cap counter-clockwise using a 24” pipe wrench. After two or three
the fitting vent.
b. Place a wrench on the hex preparation of the grease fitting gland
and back out until the pressure begins to vent. DO NOT turn more
than one complete revolution. This procedure unseats the metal
seal and vents any pressure on the fitting. Do not use the pressure
relief tool on this fitting.
TC148-1 10
c. If pressure escapes quickly and then stops, the backseat is effec-
tive. Proceed to step 3.1.2.4.
d. Backseat the valve again. Repeat steps 3.1.2.1 and 3.1.2.2.
e. If the backseat continues to be ineffective, place lock out tag and
3.1.2.3 Remove the grease fitting from the valve bonnet.
3.1.2.4 Remove the cap from a new grease fitting and install the fitting in
the bonnet. Do not use sealant or PTFE tape. Torque to 80-100 ft-lb
(110-140 N•m).
3.1.2.5 Install and tighten the cap on the fitting. Torque to 50-60 ft-lb (70-85
N•m).
a. Tighten the bearing cap by hand until it contacts the bearing.
c. Tighten the bearing cap to approximately 200 ft-lb (280 N•m).
3.2 STEM PIN AND THRUST BEARING REPLACEMENT
The Stem Thrust Bearings and Stem Pin can be replaced while the valve is under
pressure, in line. However, Cameron recommends that pressure be isolated from
the valve, prior to beginning this work.
3.2.1 Removal of the Thrust Bearings and Stem Pin

Loosen the bearing cap counter-clockwise using a pipe wrench. After two or
three turns, the cap will rotate freely by hand.
If the cap does not rotate freely after three turns, the packing gland may be
moving outward with the bearing cap. This can be checked by tapping on
the top of the stem adapter so it moves relative to the bearing cap. If the
stem adaptor does not move inward or continues to back out with the bear-
ing cap, DO NOT remove the cap. Tighten the cap and contact a Cameron
representative.
3.2.1.1 If the bearing cap rotates freely, remove the cap from the bonnet.
3.2.1.2 If the pin was sheared, try to pull the stem adapter straight off the
stem. If pin is not sheared, use a punch to drive the stem pin from
the stem adapter, ensuring that the adapter is not damaged.
3.2.1.3 Remove the adapter from the stem.
3.2.1.4 Remove both sets of bearings and bearing races from the stem
adapter.
TC148-1 11
3.2.1.5 Replace the stem adapter if either of the bearing surfaces on the
adapter shoulder is damaged.
3.2.2 Installation of the New Thrust Bearings and Stem Pin
Use standard or low temperature grease as appropriate from Table IX in Op-
eration and Maintenance Manual for the assembly and fill of the bearings.
3.2.2.1 Remove the new bearings from the protective packaging. Pack the
bearings with clean grease.
3.2.2.2 Place each bearing between a pair of cleaned races.
3.2.2.3 Carefully clean the stem adapter.
3.2.2.4 Install one set of bearings and races over the bottom of the adapter
and one set over the top of the adapter.
3.2.2.5 Insert the stem adapter over the end of the stem and align the pin
hole in the adapter with the hole in the stem.
3.2.2.6 Using a punch, drive in the new stem pin and ensure that the pin
does not protrude over the OD of the adapter shoulder.
Do not strike the bearings, races, or stem adapter with the punch
or hammer.
3.2.2.7 Replace the stem adapter O-ring if necessary.
3.2.2.8 Inspect the bearing cap to ensure that a race, held by grease tension,
is not retained inside.
3.2.2.9 Clean the bearing cap and lubricate the threads.
3.2.2.10 Install the bearing cap over the stem adapter and thread it onto
the bonnet snug tight. Tighten the bearing cap to approximately 200
ft0lbs (270 N•m) of torque.
3.2.2.11 Rotate the stem adapter counterclockwise to ensure that the gate
is off the bottom of the body. This procedure will confirm that the
stem backseating shoulder is not contacting the bonnet shoulder.
3.2.2.12 Using a hand held grease gun, connect the grease gun to the zert
fitting on the bearing cap.
3.2.2.13 Pump lubricant into fitting until clean grease appears at the vent
hole in the bearing cap.

3.6.4 Installation of valve cavity parts
3.6.4.1 Apply a thin coat of clean grease to the body cavity, gate, retainer
plate, seats, and seat seal rings. Use a very thin coat of grease on the
seat back face and the body seat pocket (flat face). Excessive grease
will cause installation difficulty and could damage the gate and seats.
3.6.4.2 Install the U-shaped retainer plate in the bottom of the body cav-
ity. The flat center part of the retainer plate goes against the cavity
bottom, and the semi-circular cut-outs must be aligned with the seat
pockets.
3.6.4.3 Install the seal rings into the face groove(s) located in the seats.
The FL valve uses one seal ring per seat; the FLS uses two per seat.
3.6.4.4 Install the seats into the seat pockets.
The seat face containing seal ring(s) goes against the body seat
pocket seal face. Do not apply more than a very thin film of grease to
the back face of the seat and seal ring(s) or the seal face on the body
seat pocket.
3.6.4.5 Install the gate into the cavity between the seats.
3.6.4.6 Push the gate all the way to the bottom of the cavity and pack the
remaining space with grease.

The information in this table is based on API-6A’s recommended torques for a given
bolt size. The information is presented for the convenience of the user and is based on
assumptions of certain coefficients of friction (cf). The coefficients of friction are based
on approximations of the friction between the studs and nuts, as well as the nuts and
flange face. A coefficient friction of 0.13 assumes the threads and nut bearing surfaces
are bare metal and are well lubricated with thread compound. A coefficient of friction
of 0.07 assumes the thread and nuts are coated with a fluoropolymer material.

5.0 ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
The only information needed for ordering replacement parts for a Cameron gate valve
is the original valve assembly part number and the description of the part. The valve
assembly part number is stamped on the valve body nameplate. It is recommended that
a description of the valve assembly (size, pressure, trim) be included as a check on the
assembly number, but this is not necessary if the assembly number is clearly readable.
It is not recommended to order replacement parts by using the part number off the old
part or by referring to a file copy of the valve assembly bill-of-material. If an engineer-
ing change has been implemented to the valve assembly to replace one component part
number with another, the only way to ensure getting the updated component is to ref-
erence the valve assembly number and to reference the part by description (gate, seat,
stem, etc. Part descriptions are shown in the parts list, Part I.D.). Cameron personnel
can then check the latest revision of the assembly bill-of-material to obtain the appro-
priate and current replacement part number.
Contact your Cameron representative for replacement parts for FLS and all other FL gate
valves.
