General Information
HEMI CARTRIDGE VALVE (HCV)
The Hemi Cartridge Valve (HCV) is a quarter-turn valve with a Hemispherical
Wedge (Hemi) and a top entry cartridge design. The Hemi rotates about a
stationary core which directs the flow through the valve. The Hemi sealing
area, seat ring, and trim parts are not directly exposed to flow impingement
when in the open position.
The internal components (seat, Hemi/core, seals, bearings, etc.) are all
contained in the cartridge assembly, and the parallel machined body allows
for easy installation/removal of the cartridge in the field. The valve can be
provided with the operators illustrated in Figures 1-3. Other options are
available upon request.
Storage
Prior to storage, inspect for any damage that may have occurred during Figure 1. Pneumatic / Electric Actuator
shipment - contact your shipper immediately if damage is found. Valve
flange faces and/or butt-weld preparations are coated with rust inhibitor,
then covered with an impact barrier. Valves and actuation equipment should
be stored in the as-shipped condition indoors to protect them from harsh
environments, including humidity and dust. Refer to operator manual for
special long term storage requirements of actuation equipment.
Unpacking
Remove any shipping material and protective covers. Inspect the valve
internals for foreign objects debris and clean if necessary. Appropriate
handling equipment must be used when lifting the valve and actuator
assembly safely into position. Only use lifting points specified on the
supplied Top Assembly drawing. Do not use actuator lifting points to lift the
complete valve and operator assembly. Pay attention so that slings or braces
do not damage the operator.

Installation
Verify the valve’s name plate against the packing list and applicable documents for proper identification. Use lifting devices rated for the
equipment weight and suitable for safe installation.
Valves shall be installed in a manner that will not support the weight of the line and line expansion; strain shall be isolated external to the valve.
The valve must be installed with the flow arrow marked on the body pointing downstream of the pump or pressure source. Position the valve to
allow access to the operator. Operator and cartridge removal must be possible for in-line service.
Flanged valves should be installed using the proper gasket and procedure specified by National and International Standards/Codes. Butt weld
ends shall be welded in accordance with proper Standard Code welding procedures.
Install the valve operator according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Refer to pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuators section for setting or
adjusting the open and close stops for the operator.
Fully stroke the valve through its operational range multiple times to ensure the proper operation. Note any special installation instructions
specific to the application.
Operations
Prior to operation, ensure that the valve has been installed with the correct designated flow direction. The valve strokes 90° between full open
and closed positions. The valve is torque seated, with the maximum closing torque for the appropriate pressure is applied at the end of the close
stroke. Under high differential pressures, the un-seating torque may be as high or higher than the seated torque.
Note: Do not over torque the valve into the closed position. Over torque may cause damage to the valve and void the warranty.
Maintenance
The valve does not require periodic lubrication to provide continuous trouble-free service. If the valve does not seal properly, or if there are
difficulties smoothly stroking the valve, it may be due to foreign object debris within the cartridge assembly. Cleaning may be required in order to
remove the debris.
6. Prior to installing the new cartridge, clean the inside of the valve body.
7. Remove and replace the used bonnet and seat gasket. The
replacement seal and gasket are shipped loose as part of the soft
goods kit.
8. Install the cartridge assembly by carefully lowering the cartridge into
the valve body.
9. Torque the nuts on each stud to the proper specification in a cross
pattern method in 25% increments per Top Assembly drawing.
10. Reinstall the valve operator.
• Reinstall the actuator according to the steps described in the
pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuators section.
• Reinstall the manual operator per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
11. Fully stroke the valve several times to assure proper sealing and
smooth operation.
