Mount choke or control valve into the piping line, taking care to ensure that the inlet of the
valve is connected to upstream piping, and the outlet of the valve is connected to downstream
piping.
CAUTION: The valve is designed for flow from the inlet to the outlet. Improper
connection orientation to the flow line can result in premature component
wear or failure.
The valve must be installed in the piping as per industry accepted mounting practices. It is the
responsibility of the end user to determine the bolting, gasketing and threading requirements
for mounting of the valve to the piping, and to have these requirements conform to the design
standards of the end connections and piping system.
The valve is only to be used for control of flow. The flow to be controlled must be within the
rated temperature and pressure ranges of the valve. These ratings can be found on the serial
plaque. The flow composition must also be acceptable for the material class of the valve. The
external environment must be controlled to within acceptable levels for the valve and actuator
materials, paint and coating.
Install the actuator supply and feedback lines. The supply and feedback must conform to the
actuator and/or positioner requirements. These requirements can be found in the actuator or
positioner instruction manual.
5.0 OPERATION
Once the valve is properly connected to the piping, flow may be introduced through the choke
or control valve. Flow must be introduced as per the piping system commissioning
procedures. For valves that have been disassembled as per either the trim disassembly or full
disassembly procedure of this manual, it is recommended that a controlled pressure test,
including inspection for leakage, be performed prior to full operation.
Apply the appropriate input signal to the positioner to open or close the valve for pneumatic
piston actuated valves. For hydraulically operated valves, refer to the actuator maintenance
manual for operation procedures and modes.
CAUTION: Caution must be used when contacting the valve, as the surface
temperature of the valve may be hot or cold depending on flow and
environmental conditions.
The valve position is indicated through the feedback signal from the positioner or transmitter.
Where applicable, the valve position may also be determined through the local indicator on the
actuator. Refer to the actuator maintenance manual for details.
CAUTION: The valve must not be used as a shut-in device for downstream
maintenance. If trim damage has occurred, or if debris is lodged in the
trim, the valve may not seat properly.
NOTE: If flow collar torque tool is not available, then the following tools are required:
P4E – P6E: 48” Pipe Wrench
Refer to assembly and exploded drawings (sections 2.0 & 3.0) and proceed as follows:
3. Disconnect actuator supply line and electrical cable as required. Plug hydraulic ports and
lines (if applicable) to prevent contamination.
4. To remove the valve trim see section 8.0 (Choke Disassembly Procedure). Follow step 4
thru 12.
5. See Inspection Procedure (section 9.0) for part inspection where applicable.
As required during assembly, grease all seals, back-up rings. (Recommended lubricant-
Jetlube AP-1). Lubricate capscrews. (Recommended lubricant: Nickel 771 anti-seize).
CAUTION: Failure to properly assemble the valve can result in hazardous fluid release
or component ejection during operation.

SEAT FACE
5. Inspect flow collar (item 8) for damage on seat face and inside diameter. (See figure 9.2).
Inspect sealing surface for pitting or scratches.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE:
a) Maintenance must include visual examination of the flow collar balancing ports for
scale or blockage.
b) The flow collar balancing ports need to be clear of scale, debris, or anything that
would prevent the flow of fluid from one side of the flow collar to the other.
c) If these ports are blocked, there is potential for excessive force to be imparted on the
choke stem and bonnet bolting which may result in failure of the containment device
and possible injury.
f) At any time during operation, the presence of scale or debris is suspected in the
choke, inspect the balancing ports or contact Master Flo for additional in-service
testing instructions at info@masterflo.com.
g) The holes on the back disc on the flow collar are offset to the holes in the flow collar
carrier. Therefore, no direct flow path can be observed. To determine if there may
be an issue with blockage, a simple test can be performed. Place the flow collar
with the flow control surfaces facing upwards and pour water into the inner diameter.
The water should flow out of the bottom of the flow collar in a steady stream. If it
does not, the flow collar ports may have some degree of blockage.

1.2 Operating Principle
1.3 Installation Procedure
THE VALVES LISTED IN THIS MANUAL ARE INTENDED FOR USE AT PRESSURES AND
TEMPERATURE INDICATED ON THE VALVES SERIAL PLAQUES.
The actuators are sized for worst case valve loads and are rated for 100 psi supply
pressure. Clean, dry filtered air or bottled nitrogen is to be used as the actuator
operating media.
The design utilizes an operating principle consisting of using air pressure on either
side of a piston to open or close the valve, with a spring assist in the close direction.
The piston is coupled directly to the valve stem. On the loss of supply air the actuator
is designed to fail close.
Note: If choke internal pressure is too large the spring assist may not provide
the necessary force to close the valve on the loss of air pressure.
To operate the valve, apply the required input signal to the positioner. This signal will
vary depending on the type of positioner present. Typical inputs are 3-15 psig air or 4-
20 mA, although other protocols are available. Consult the positioner instruction
manual for details. If the actuator is equipped with a manual override, consult the
manual override maintenance manual
(MB-OMO) to operate the valve through the override.
