    This document describes design requirements for valves and related components. It specifies that valve bearings and seals must provide long, maintenance-free life and can be replaced from outside without decompressing the system. All nuts, bolts and attachments must be made of corrosion-resistant aluminum-bronze material. Valve accessories like gear boxes must be fully assembled and tested. Motor operators must be weatherproof and able to open and close valves within 120 seconds against design pressures and flows.

    SECTION 15110

    VALVES

    4. Design of bearings and seals shall provide long service-free life. However,
    when replacement of seals and bearings is required, this shall be
    accomplished from outside the valve, without removal of operator or
    decompression of the system.

    F. All nuts, bolts and attachments shall be provided by the Contractor. All nuts, bolts
    and washers shall be of aluminum-bronze non-corrosive material in submerged
    quiescent seawater service. Isolation ferrules shall be designed to prevent direct
    contact galvanic action between aluminum-bronze material and any steel surfaces.
    Testing documentation to verify material suitability and compatibility shall be
    submitted specifically where hardware will retain valve seat seal.

    2.03 VALVE ACCESSORIES

    A. Valve accessories shall be provided as specified herein and shall be supplied


    completely assembled and properly adjusted in the factory.

    B. Valve Drive

    1. Each valve shall be designed with a gear box using a worm gear drive system,
    which is operated with a maximum 450 mm (18 in.) diameter hand-wheel and
    for valves larger than 600 mm (24 in.) size, an output shaft for adapting a
    motor operator. The hand-wheel and gear ratio shall be designed to enable
    the valve to open or close with a minimum of effort and without the necessity of
    using levers against a differential pressure equal to the valve design pressure
    and in accordance with AWWA C504, Section 3.8.

    a) Large valve shall include a 50.8 mm (2 in.) wrench nut connection on


    the hand-wheel hub per AWWA C500 for a portable air motor to drive
    the gear system and a local mechanical position indicator.

    b) Hand-wheel may be disassembled after factory tests for shipping


    convenience.

    c) Flat-face gaskets shall be provided by manufacturer for all valve flange


    surfaces.

    d) Fastening hardware and thread lubricant of non-petroleum base type


    shall be provided by the Contractor for attachment of each valve to the
    adjacent interface surfaces. Extra-long bolts shall be supplied to
    accommodate the fastening of the butterfly valve to fiberglass flange of
    various thicknesses as specified by the Contractor and approved by the
    Royal Commission.

    2.04 MOTOR OPERATORS

    A. Motor operators furnished with the driven equipment shall have totally enclosed
    weatherproof enclosures per NEMA-4X.

    B. The motor for each valve shall be capable of opening and closing against the design
    head and the design flow specified herein by an open, close and stop pushbutton.
    Valve operation time from full open to full close position shall be 120 seconds

    Rev 0 16 of 40 Contract No:

    VALVES

    minimum. Motors shall be rated for application on a 380 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase power
    supply, unless shown on the drawings.

    C. A means shall be provided to disengage thet motor drive when the valve is operated
    manually. The hand-wheel shall be automatically disengaged when the valve is
    motor operated. It shall be impossible to place the unit in manual operation while the
    motor operator is energized.

    D. The motor operator shall be provided with double-acting torque switches capable of
    limiting the applied load in both the open and closed positions as well as protecting
    the valve parts from overload over the complete stem travel.

    E. The motor operator shall be provided with wi adjustable limit switches capable of
    providing the functions outlined in Table 2B, wi
    with local controls, future remote control
    and a minimum of 2 spare contacts.

    F. The motor operator shall be provided with


    wi a space heater in the limit switch
    compartment. Heater shall be rated at 380 V and operated at 220 V single phase at
    60 Hz. A drain plug will be provided for lim
    limit switch compartment of valve motor
    operators.

    G. A visual indicator to show the valve position


    posit (open/close indication) shall be located

    Rev 0 17 of 40 Contract No:


    SECTION 15110
    VALVES

    on the operator and shall be directly linked mechanically with the shaft of the valve.

    H. All motors shall be provided with integral motor starters and controls.

    I. Table 2B shows limit switch contact development.

    1. The limit switch contacts provided for valve motor controls listed in the
    Table 2B shall have ratings adequate for all motor control circuit functions at
    the maximum control voltage.

    2. Limit switches provided for customer connection shall be suitable for


    120 V, 60 Hz, 5 A inductive load.

    3. Limit switches shall be installed in a manner that will not interfere with the
    normal operation of the valve. The range of adjustment shall be up to one-half
    of the valve stroke.

    4. Limit and torque switches shall be rigidly mounted to preclude misalignment


    when the conduit is connected to the switch enclosure.

    5. Switch enclosures shall be NEMA Type 4X.

    J. All auxiliary contacts shall be wired to terminal blocks.

    K. Motor operators shall be provided with terminal block connections for remote

    accordance with ANSI B16.1, Class 125 for sizes up to 2400 mm (96 in.) and
    AWWA C207 Class D for all larger sizes. Flange material shall be in accordance
    with Table 2A of this Specification.

    C. The joint shall be constructed of molded rubber with fabric reinforcement. The joint
    shall be shaped to provide a continuous belt rubber expansion element. Surfaces of
