Introduction. LA. Background. Butterfly valves are generally used for pipelines carrying liquids and gases. Manufacturers of butterfly valves developed tightclosing. rubber- seated types for cooling water systems and power stations. Since 1940, most new valves inscalled for this type of service have been rubber-seated bucterfly valves. Since the late 1940s, rubber-seated butterfly valves have gained increased accep- ‘ance tor use in water treatment plants and water supply and distribution lines because they (1) provide tight shutoff; (2) are relatively easy to operate, even with large pressure differentials across the valves: and (3) require relatively liccle space for installation. 1B. History. ‘The need for standardization of butterfly valves was recognized by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) in June 1953 The committee appointed for the task of standardization developed AWWA C504, ‘which was approved as tentative and published in September 1954, Four years later in 1958, che tentative standard was accepted as a standard, The 1954 tentative standard was written co describe the chen-available types of standard rubber-seated butterfly valves thar had been in successful operation for atleast five years prior to 1954, The standard established three pressure and two velocity clas- sifications, standards for materials, laying lengths, minimum body and dise designs, and actuator sizes for valves having rubber seats in the valve body. Since the publication of AWWA C504 in 1954, burterfly-valve designs have been improved and refined. In September 1962, a new committee was charged with the task of reviewing AWWA C504 and recommending revisions to the standard in order to make it compatible with then-current valve desigas. Generally, modern butterfly-valve designs for water service include cast-body conscruction in 25-psi (172-kPa), 75-psi (517-kPa), 150-psi (1,034-KPal, and 250-psi (1,723-KPa) pressure classes; flanged, mechanicaljoint, and wafer bodies: rubber seats in valve bodies or on the valve discs; and operating conditions (limited by the design shucoff pressure and velocities of water flow) thar produce torques considered maxi- mum for the shaft size used. * American National Standards Institue, 25 West 4rd Stecet, Fourth Floor, Now York, NY 10056, Copyaght © 2011 Amencan Water Works Association. All ights ReservedRevisions in the 1970 edition were initiated to minimize the corrosion of seating surfaces, to provide more adequate requirements for stainless steel, and to provide for painting of valve interiors with asphalt varnish Revisions in 1974 and 1980 provided fine-cuning of the provisions of the standard. Major changes included addition of provisions concerning the connection between shaft and disc and the use of carbon-steel shafts with stainless-steel journals. Revisions to the 1987 edition included using che word “actuator” rather than “operator” and provided definitions of valve classifications. Major changes included the addition of certain sprayed metal sear surfaces and nonmeralic cylinder components as acceptible materials. Appendix B (now appendix A), Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of Rubber Seated Butterfly Valves, was added. Revisions to the 1994 edition included the deletion of appendix A for calcukaring torques, the addition of soft metrication, reference to actuator requirements given in ANSI/AWWA C540, Power-Actuating Devices for Valves and Hydrants. incroduction of Class 250 valves, and adoption of additional materials and material requirements Revisions ro che 2000 edition included revision of material references 1 use che Unified Numb System (UNS) designations; addition of ductile iron as an accept able marerial for actuator worm gears in buried service; allowance for the use of the valves from the proof-of-design tests co be rebuilt and used as production valves: and addition of advisory text on valve and adjacent pipe installation ‘The cighth edition of ANSI/AWWA C504 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Feb. 12, 2006. ‘This ninth edition of ANSVAW WA C504 was approved ‘on June 20, 2010. LC. Acceptance. In May 1985, che US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSE International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a cettification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives.

Individual states or local agencies have authority «9 accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction ‘Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSHANSI G1 does not stipulatea maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on coxicity testing guide lines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certfier. ANST/AW WA C504 does not address additives requirements.

Torque requirements for valve operation vary considerably with differential pres- sure across the valve, fluid velociey, Auid temperarure, and upstream piping conditions. Flow direction is important in the installation and use of a butcerfly valve, Some valves’ performance and sealing characteristics vary with direction of flow. Flow direc- tion can affect the torque requirements and throttling characteristics of valves with off set discs or discs thac do not have identical surface configurations on each side. Many’ butterfly valves have different sealing characteristics on one side vs. the other. A manu- facturer may have a recommended high-pressure sealing side for long-term reliability Hydraulic testing, How capacities, and valve torques are based on the flow, upstream ofa valve. being uniform and undisturbed, like the How produced by a long length of constant-diameter, sccaight pipe. Piping configurations that produce a nonuniform or turbulent flow pattern upstream of the valve can increase torque requirements, create damaging vibrations, increase head loss, and increase stresses in valve components. Some hydraulic systems can produce fluid velocities much higher than the maxi- mum of 16 fusec (4.9 misee) described in this standard. Typically high fluid velocicies can result from line breaks, during fire fighting or in surge relief applications. ‘The effects of high velocities and asymmetrical curbulent flow conditions can result in high loads and torque requirements, which are unaccounted for in this standard. ‘These design conditions should be clearly specified by the purchaser. TB. Auried Valves Larger than 48 In, When valves arc provided with flanged ends in buried applications, the purchaser is advised to consider providing means to accommodate issues such as differential settlement, capability to remove the valve or actuator for maintenance access to the valve interior for inspection, support of the valve, and controlling the shear loading on the adjacent pipe flanges. Many types of large buried pipes are designed (0 deflect 2-5 percent of pipe diameter. which is harmful to the valve incegrity.

This may result ina significanc unwar- ranted expense. ‘Turbulence is also a factor that may affect torque requirements. Turbulence will be considered only if information on piping conditions is provided according to item 26 ot Sec. HLA in this foreword. 2 This standard limits handwheel rim pull but not handwheel diameter. A smaller handwheel may require a more expensive actuator requiring more cuens. Ifa large-diameter handwheel is of concern because of clearance or other limitations, the diameter should be limited co an acceptable dimension according to item 14 of Sec. IILA in this foreword. 3. This standard refers to ANSVAWWA C541, which permits the use of some plated components in metallic water-hydraulic eylinder actuators. ‘The purchaser should be aware of che possibility of plating failure, particularly when the operating water is aggressive. The purchaser may limit acceptability to cylinders having components that do nor depend on platings to resist corrosion according to item 15 of Sec. TILA in this foreword. 4. This standard permits several merallic seating-surface materials. It recom ends seating surfaces of stainless-steel or nickel-copper alloy in cases where valves are 10 be operated more frequently than once a month. The purchaser may require these alloys for specific applications according to item 11 of Sec. TT.A in this foreword. This standard also accepts sprayed mating-scac-surfaces when the surfaces are applied under certain conditions. The suitability of this type of surface depends, tw a large extent, on the quality of the manufactured produet. ‘The purchaser shoukd bbe aware of the manufacturer's previous experience with similar applications. The pur- chaser may limit acceptability to a specific product or application according to item 11 of Sec. HLA in this foreword. 6. The material references for metals in Sec. 4.1 of this standard are based on successfial experience. There may be instanees where the water is very corrosive, and the lisced mat Is, particularly the bronzes, may not be suitable for suctaces in both the valve and, if applicable, the hydraulic cylinder actuator’s wetted parts. The require- rmencs fo elastomers are included in Sec. 4.2.5 of this standard, ‘This standard does snot require rubber parts to be specifically tested oF to be specifically suitable for service with line content containing chlorine or chloramines.

This standard allows a party other than the valve manufucrurer to mouat an actuator to a valve, Sec. 5.1.2 and 5.1.2.1 requite that the valve and actuator assembly be performance- and leaktested as an assembly. ‘The purchaser is cautioned that the valve manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for the valve's sealing and operating peetormance if the actuator is mounted by a party other than the valve manufacturer. If this isa concern, requirements on actuator mounting should be included in che pur- chase documents. 9, Bleceric actuators meeting the requirements of ANSVAWWA C542 can be supplied with or without an intermediate quartet-rurn mechanism. If desired, the pur chaser should specify a multi-turn actuator coupled to an intermediate mechanism according to ANSUAW'WA C504. 10. When specifying manual and power actuators in Sec. TILA 13, 14, 16, and 36. consideration should be given to the effects of speed of valve closure on pipeline hydraulic teansients (surges), especially on long pipelines ILD. Permeation, The selection of materials is critical for water service and distribution piping in locations where there is likelihood che pipe will be exposed 10 significant concentrations of pollutants that are composed of low-molecular-weight petroleum products oF organic solvents or their vapors. Research has documented that pipe materials—such as polyethylene, polyburylene, polyvinyl chloride, and asbestos cement—and elastomers, such as used in jointing gaskets and packing glands, may be subject to permeation by lower-molecular-weight organic solvents or perroleum products. Ifa water pipe must pass through such a contaminated area or an atea subject to contamination, consule with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls jointing materials, etc., before selecting materials for use in chat area.

SECTION A.1: _GENERAL Butterfly valves are a significant component of any water distribution system or treatment plant operation. Valve failure caused by faulty installation. improper perarion, or maintenance in these systems could result in damage, downtime, and costly repairs. In buried or underground installations, problems or malfunctions can result in extensive and costly excavation to correct or eliminate the problem, Many problems with butterfly valves can be traced ¢o improper installation, opera sion, or maintenance procedures SECTION A. UNLOADING Inspect valves on re ipt for damage in shipment and conformance with quantity and description on the shipping notice and order. Unload valves carefully o the ground without dropping them. On valves larger than 36 in. (900 mm), use forklifts or slings under the skids. On smaller valves, do nor lift valves with slings or chain around the operating shaft, actuator, or through the waterway. Life these valves with eye bolts or rods through the Mange holes or chain hooks at ends of the SECTION A.3:_ STORAGE Fir is not practical to store a valve indoors, protect the valve and actuators from weather and the accumulation of dirt, rocks, and debris. When valves fit ced w fh power actuators and controls are stored, energize electric actuators oF otherwise protect electrical-concrol equipment to prevent corrosion of electrical vontacts caused by condensation resulting from cemperature variation, Do not 26 Copyright 2011 American Water Werks Assocation.

SECTION A.4: INSPECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Verify lange faces, joint-sealing surfaces, body seats. and dise seats are clean, Verify the bolts attaching an actuator to a valve are tight, and if loose cightcn firmly, Open and close a valve to verify it operates properly and that stops or limit switches are correctly set so that the valve seats fully. Close a valve before inscalling ic SECTION A.5: INSTALLATION Ik is strongly recommended thar instruction manuals supplied by che valve manufacturer be reviewed in detail before installing butterfly valves. Verify that the inspection, as described in Sec. A.4, has been performed at the jobsite prior co installation A5.1_ Handle valves carefully when positioning, avoiding contact or impact with other equipment, vaule walls, oF trench walls. 5.2 Valves are to be installed in accordance with the manufacturers in- structions, To maintain che integrity of valves greater than 48 in., itis important co avoid subjecting the valves to pipe loads that could deform the valves out of round, such as the use of valve foundations or supports without proper pipe supports. valve should be supported independently of the adjacent piping, and the adjacene piping should be supported independently of the valve. Piping to and from a valve should be adequately supported and controlled. Valve inlet and outlet piping should be supported as near (0 the valve as practical. This removes most of the static load and allows identification of piping fic problems during installation and easier removal of the valve for maintenance. Piping considerations should include allowable flange loadings, thermal expansion and contraction, and differential settlement. A5.3. When valves have adjustable seating, install che seatadjustment side ofa valve for access and adjustment in service ASA When valves are provided with Hanged ends in buried applications, che purchaser is advised to consider providing means to accommodate issues such Copyright© 2011 American Water Works Assocation.

Many types of large buried pipes are designed to deflect 2-5 percent of pipe diameter, which is harmful co valve integrity. Adjacent pipe must be supported or stiffened to provide a round mating connection for the valve in service. A355. Forcign material in a buccerfly valve can damage the rubber seat wher the valve is operated. Be sure valve interiors and adjacent piping are clean and free of foreign material prior to mating a valve-to-pipe-joint connection. A5.6 Prepare pipe ends and install valves in accordance with the pipe man- ufacturer’s inseructions for the joint used. Do nor deflect the pipe-valve joint. Do nor use a valve as a jack c pull pipe into alignment. The installation provedure should min AS. valve disc between the mating flanges. nize the bending of the valve/pipe connection with pipe loading In the case of wafer-type butterfly valves, concentrically center the AS.8 Make sure the valve disc, when opened, will nor contact the pipe port. This is especially necessary on pipe with linings and when wafer valves are used. Check manufacturer's recommendations for minimum pipe inside diameter required for clearance. A.59 Buried valves installed with valve boxes shall be installed so that the valve box daes not transmit shock or stress to the valve actuator as a result of shifte ing soil or traffic load. 5.10 When valves are installed in vaults, the vault design shall provide space for removal of the valve-actuator assembly for purposes of repair. The pos- sibility of groundwater or surface water entering the valve and the disposal of the water should be considered. The valve operating nut should be accessible from the op opening of the vaule with a tee wrench, 5.11 Buried valves can be installed with che shaft horizontal and the ac- ‘ator input drive nut upwards AS.12__A valve can be buried with che shaft vertical with cither a torque tube ina manhole or with an extension bonnet to place the actuator aboveground ASI3.
