I. GENERAL INFORMATION
2. The simplified gate and seat assembly has a minimum number of parts.
One-piece seats and slab gate ensure reliable sealing and simplify field
service. The modified Acme gate-to-stem thread allows the gate to move
back and forth, or float, to seal against the seat.
3. The gate and seat assembly seals in both directions, and the gate and seats
can be reversed for increased life.
4. The stem shoulder can be backseated against the bonnet to isolate the
stuffing box, which allows field-replacement of the stem packing while the
valve is under pressure.
9. With minor modifications, FL and FLS valves can meet or exceed API 6FA
fire safety requirements.
10. Special non-elastomeric stem packing designs can extend the standard
temperature rating of the FL or FLS Gate Valve up to 350° F, or down to
-75° F. These temperature ratings may not be available in all working
pressures.
TC148 7
Rev C1 6/97
11. An optional add-on torque multiplier is available for larger FL and FLS valves
to provide easier operation.
12. See the valve assembly bill-of materials for materials and descriptions of
valve components.
B. Operation Instructions
The valve is opened by turning the handwheel counterclockwise (to the left) until
it stops. Turning the handwheel back to the right 1/4 turn will then relieve any
stress in the stem,and is, therefore, recommended practice. Initial torque re-
quired to open the valve is given in Table I.
The valve is closed by turning the handwheel clockwise (to the right) until it stops,
and then backing off (counterclockwise) 1/2 to 3/4 turn. The number of turns
required to move the valve from full open to full closed is given in Table I.

b. Flush the valve with the appropriate neutralizing fluid in the line.
c. Operate the valve with fresh water or appropriate neutralizing fluid in the
line.
d. Lubricate the valve body cavity.
Note: Lubricate the thrust bearings as often as required to ensure smooth valve operation.
1. Using a hand-held grease gun, P/N 19873-01, connect the grease gun fitting
to the hydraulic grease fittings with a hydraulic coupler.
2. Pump lubricant into the fittings until clean grease appears at the bleed port
on the opposite side of the bearing cap.
III. TROUBLESHOOTING
Caution: When a valve is used in the lower master valve position, on the outlet of a BOP
or any other application in which it is the last surface barrier, precautions should
be taken to ensure sub-surface safety barriers are in place and functioning. If
valve bonnet maintenance is to be performed such as stem packaging replace-
ment, bearing replacement or shear pin replacement consideration should be
given with respect to number of barriers required by the customer and the local
statutory requirements.

a. Close the valve fully.
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.
Caution: Installing the fitting with the cap in place could damage the cap. Do not install
the fitting with the cap in place.
5. Un-backseat the valve.
TC148 15

c. Tighten the bearing cap to approximately 200 ft-lb.
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.
b. Place a wrench on the hex preparation of the fitting gland and back out
the fitting approximately one turn. This procedure unseats the metal seal
and vents any pressure on the fitting.
c. If pressure escapes quickly and then stops, the backseat is effective.
Proceed to step 3.
d. If pressure continues to escape, the backseat is ineffective.
TC148 16
Rev C1 6/97
4. Remove the cap from a new grease fitting and install the fitting in the bonnet.
Torque to 80 to 100 ft-lb.
Caution: Installing the fitting with the cap in place prevents the fitting from seating and
could cause damage to the cap. Do not install the fitting with the cap in place.
6. Un-backseat the valve.
Note: The stem thrust bearings can be replaced while the valve is under pressure in the
line.
A. Removal of the Thrust Bearings
1. Loosen the bearing cap, using a 24" pipe wrench. After two or three turns,
the cap will rotate freely by hand.
Caution: 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
stem adaptor so it moves relative to the bearing cap. If the stem adaptor does
not move inward or continues to back out with the bearing cap, DO NOT remove
the cap. Tighten the cap and contact a Cameron representative.
2. If the bearing cap rotates freely, remove the cap from the bonnet.
3. Using a punch, drive the stem shear pin from the stem adapter, ensuring
that the adapter is not damaged.
7. Replace the stem adapter if either of the bearing surfaces on the adapter
shoulder is damaged.
B. Installation of the New Thrust Bearings
TC148 17
Rev C1 6/97
2. Pack the bearings with clean grease.
5. Install one set of bearings and races over the bottom of the adapter and
one set over the top of the adapter.
Note: The adapter O-ring may be removed temporarily to allow for the installation of the
top bearing and race assembly.
6. Insert the stem adapter over the end of the stem and align the pin hole in
the adapter with the hole in the stem.
7. Using a punch, drive in the stem pin and ensure that the pin does not
protrude over the OD of the adapter shoulder.
Caution: Do not strike the bearings, races, or stem adapter with the punch or hammer.
8. Replace the stem adapter O-ring if necessary.
9. Inspect the bearing cap to ensure that an extra race, held by grease tension,
is not retained inside.
12. 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.
13. Inject grease through the bearing cap grease fittings until the excess grease
passes through the bleed port.
TC148 18
Rev C1 6/97
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.

that the adapter is not damaged.
7. Remove both sets of bearings and bearing races from the stem adapter.
9. Ensure that the threads on the bonnet neck OD are not damaged.
11. Remove the stem packing and backup ring (if applicable).
a.Use packing sleeve P/N 21168 for 1" stem size and packing sleeve P/N
233842 for 11/4" stem size.
1) Thread the packing sleeve into the bonnet packing gland preparation
until the sleeve bottoms out.
2) Using a grease gun attached to the bonnet grease fitting, pump the
packing out into the recessed area of the packing sleeve.
3) Remove the sleeve from the bonnet.
b. If a packing sleeve is not available, remove the stem packing by one of
the following methods:
1) Pump the packing out with grease until the grease bypasses or the
packing refuses to extrude further.
2) Pull the packing out with a corkscrew.
Caution: Do not damage the stem or packing bore.
B. Installation of the New Packing
1. Clean the grease from the stuffing box bore so that a hydraulic lock will not
prevent the installation of new packing.
2. Inspect the stuffing box to ensure that the bore is clean and free of pits or
scars.
3. Inspect the stem to ensure that the surface is free of burrs and pits.
a. The stem

replaceable).
6. Using the packing gland as a pushing tool, push the packing into the stuffing
box.
7. Remove the packing gland and lubricate the stem OD. If a packing back-up
ring is required, install it over the stem.
8. Install the packing gland and apply approximately 200 ft-lb of torque,
ensuring that the bonnet threads are not damaged.
9. Inspect the bearings and bearing races on the stem adapter for pits, scores,
or cracks. Replace if damaged.
10. Pack the bearings with grease.
Note: The adapter O-ring may be removed temporarily to allow for the installation of the
top bearing and race assembly.
14. Insert the stem adapter over the end of the stem and align the pin hole in
the adapter with the hole in the stem.
15. Using a punch, drive in the stem pin and ensure that the pin does not
protrude over the OD of the adapter shoulder.
Caution: Do not strike the bearings, races, or stem adapter with the punch or hammer.
16. Replace the stem adapter O-ring if necessary.
17. Inspect the bearing cap to ensure that an extra race, held by grease tension,
is not retained inside.
TC148 21
Rev C1 6/97
18. Clean the bearing cap and lubricate the threads.
20. 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.
21. Inject grease through the bearing cap grease fitting until the excess grease
passes through the bleed port.
3. Fully open the valve to ensure that the stem is completely within the gate
neck.
5. Support the bonnet and turn the handwheel clockwise until the stem
completely backs out of the gate.
Note: If the seats are stuck, insert a screwdriver in the groove on the OD of the seats and
pry out the seats.
9. Remove the retainer plate from the bottom of the body cavity.
10. Flush the body cavity thoroughly with a suitable solvent and wipe clean with
a rag.
Important: Solid material should not be built up on the retainer plate surfaces.

b. Ensure that the seal rings are not damaged.
3. Ensure that the body cavity is free of all foreign matter such as solid
particles, grit, trash, etc.
5. Apply a thin coat of clean grease to the body cavity, gate, retainer plate,
seats, and seat seal rings.
6. Install the U-shaped retainer plate in the bottom of the body cavity. 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.
1. Install the seal rings into the face groove(s) located in the seats.
Note: The FL valve uses one seal ring per seat; the FLS uses two per seat.
2. Install the seats into the seat pockets.
Note: The grooved seat face with its 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. Install the gate into the cavity between the seats.
4. Push the gate all the way to the bottom of the cavity and pack the remaining
space with grease.
6. Clean the grooves and/or seating area of the body and bonnet.
7. Apply a very thin film of clean grease to the bonnet seal ring and groove.
a. On valves 5000 psi WP and below, rotate the bonnet so that the bonnet
locating pins in the body align with the pin holes in the bonnet.
TC148 23
Rev C1 6/97
b. On valves 10,000 psi WP and above, rotate the bonnet until the grease
fitting is 90° from the gate bore.
10. Thread the stem into the gate by turning the handwheel counterclockwise.
13. Ensure that the gate is not on the bottom of the cavity.
Note: The raised bonnet face on valves 10,000 psi and above will fully contact the body
face when the bonnet nuts are tight.

VIII. 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
engineering 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 reference 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 appropriate and current replacement part number.
