1. INTRODUCTION
1. The information in this document covers the following topics of GT1,GT2,GT3,GT4, and GT5
Blow-off valves:
• Installation considerations,
• Installation plan,
• General Arrangement,
• Schematic Drawings.
2. This document manual should be kept by a person who is actually using and maintain the
valves.
3. After reading this manual, keep it at a place easier to access
Check that the system is safe to work on. That the system has been isolated and all
pressure removed from the system prior to items being removed or worked on.
Prior to starting any work, permits should be taken out and safety locks placed in position
by the operative.
3. PRELIMINARY PRECAUTIONS
For Safety, Follow these Cautions before installing, removing or disassembling the
Valve.
Use Protective Clothing and equipment to avoid injury. Keep hands and other body parts
out of the valve.
Always ensure the valve is in the fully closed position before installation, Removal or
Disassembly.
4. INSPECTION
Before installation of the valve into the piping system, visually inspect the valve to
determine if any damage has occurred during shipping. Particularly, inspect the actuator,
shaft, valve interior, valve body and flanges. For proper operation of the valves, the seat
and disc seal must be undamaged and free of foreign material. If other than superficial
damage is discovered, contact vendor immediately, indicating the location and extent of
the damage found.
If it is necessary to clean the valve, use a soft cloth and mineral spirits, or an equivalent
solvent. All rust preventive should be removed before installing your valve.
Prior to start up or commissioning of the equipment, ensure that all works and
Outstanding actions have been completed and it is safe to start up.
Check that no personnel are working on the unit prior to removal of final permit and safety
locks.
The triple offset butterfly valve series is installed between pipeline flanges acc. to ANSI
B16.5.
It should be taken into account, that a valve which is designed for a particular flange
standard cannot be normally used for other flanges. If pipeline flanges are to be used
which are not in accordance with the specifications of the order, the manufacturer is to
be consulted.
Pipelines always have to be run in such a way that damaging shear and bending stresses
cannot act on the valve body.
The surfaces of the pipeline flanges between which the valve is installed have to be
parallel to one another, the sealing surfaces must be clean and without damage. No
cross marks may be visible.
Do not carry out welding work on the flanges and pipelines when the triple offset butterfly
valve has been installed, as this could cause damage to the valve.
The triple offset butterfly valve is clamped between two pipeline flanges using two
suitable seals.
Pipes, Bolts, nuts and seals are not included in the scope of supply, special square
flanges for Turbine 2,3 & 4 will be supplied by NOC
All the usual 8’’ flange seals can be used.
The "clearance" of the mating flanges - including inner coating - has to be sufficient to
allow the disc to be fully opened without touching (ØDi ≥ ØL + 6 mm). This must be
checked before the valve is installed and compared with the space necessary for the
valve.
5. TOOL REQUIREMENT
There are no special tools required for installation and maintenance. Any lifting devices
used to move the valve into a desired position shall be of sufficient size to support the
weight of the valve and actuator assembly. Nylon slings secured around the valve bearing
areas are recommended to reduce the possibility of mechanical damage occurring to the
valve body and actuator.
Figure 1
The valve must be transported and stored dry and clean. In humid rooms, a drying material
or heating must be used to avoid condensation.
The transport packaging protects the valve against soiling and damage. Impact and
vibrations must be avoided.
If the valves are painted (coated) on the outside, this coating must remain without damage
otherwise the faulty spots must be repaired immediately.
The factory-adjusted basic setting (position of the disc at delivery) must not be changed.
7. INSTALLATION
The valve must be installed so that pipeline stresses are not transmitted to the valve body.
Despite its solid manufacture, such stress may affect valve operation. If pipeline stresses
are severe, they should be cushioned by expansion joints or compensators. If supports are
necessary for the valve, they should only support the dead weight of the valve and should
not serve as base points for the pipeline. NOC has to prepare the necessary mechanical
support for the piping & valves.
In Gas Turbine -1 install the Blow-off Valve directly in the existing flanges, refer to (Fig.2)
for exact location and Annixture-1 for dimensional details.
In Gas Turbine – 2, 3 & 4 require special flanges on the compressor side (Fig.4), NOC will
provide the special flanges with spool piece, in addition of the remaining pipe fabrication
works & materials to install the Blow-off Valve. Refer to (Fig.3) for exact location and GT-
2, 3 & 4 Installation drawings for dimensional details.
In Gas Turbine -5 install the Blow-off Valve directly in the existing flanges, refer to (Fig.5)
for exact location and Annixture-1 for dimensional details.
8. INSTALLATION STEPS
The valve must be installed so that pipeline stresses are not transmitted to the valve body.
Despite its solid manufacture, such stress may affect valve operation. If pipeline stresses
are severe, they should be cushioned by expansion joints or compensators. If supports are
necessary for the valve, they should only support the dead weight of the valve and should
not serve as base points for the pipeline.
All valves must be in full closed position during installation or removal. It is not necessary to torque seat the
valve, but the disc travel must be restricted to prevent damage.
Please be sure there is no foreign material and that it is clean inside of the pipe and valve.
The shaft side of the disc is considered the high-pressure side of the valve, (as indicated on the drawings
by a flow arrow) meaning the best closure performance is obtained on this side of the valve, and a
determination as to the best installation should be made, to utilize this feature. This may not necessarily be
the normal flow direction of the system. (Fig.6).
Please install the valve stem horizontally as (Fig.7), thus could prevent sand and some chips from collecting
around bottom bushing and seat. Such reside could damage the valve.
Make sure that the valve is installed concentrically between the flanges in order to could prevent the disc
from being damaged by interference with the flange and pipeline (Fig.9)

Make sure the material and size of gaskets could be suitable for the service. Ensure that the faces of flange
and valve are smooth and flat. Sandpaper the faces if there are any defects.
Check that all the bolts and nuts are in good condition.
Apply lubricant such as Molybdenum to all the bolts and nuts before fixing them.
The pipe support(s) may now be required to be partially disengaged. A determination as to pipe flange
alignment and space between the pipe flange and the valve face must be made at this time. The optimum
spacing would be such as to only allow the flange gasket to be installed, at the maximum, and the flange
bolt holes would be concentric.
The opposite connecting pipe flange face may not be more than 1/4 inch away from the valve flange face.
Alternate methods of alignment, other than using the flange bolts, must be utilized to conform with this
requirement.
Install all studs, maintaining uniform clearance between the studs and the mating bolt holes. Additionally
the studs spanning the valve assembly should not contact the valve body.
Seat the flange by alternate tightening of four equally-spaced flange bolts no more than 1/4 turn per bolt,
until the flange faces seat. During this operation, it is advisable to continually check the relative distance
between the flange faces. Torque the bolts to approximately 25% of the final torque value (see table 1).
Inspect the remaining bolts and assure correct alignment. Tighten to the same level as the first four bolts.
Complete the tightening of all flanges bolting in a minimum of four increments to the final determined torque
value.
Note: Actual torque shall depend on gasket type, consult gasket manufacturer.
If your valve is equipped with a fail-open actuator, manually close the valve or disconnect the actuator then
close the valve before removal.
Attach nylon slings to the body shoulders of the valve and around the body of the actuator.
