3.0 STORAGE
3.1 INFORMATION ON SURFACE PROTECTION (EXTERNAL/INTERNAL) AND PACKING
DETAILS.
a- before shipment from Starline factory all c.s. valves (A105-LF2) are protected against corrosion by
phosphated treatment.
b- all S.S. valves (304-316-F51-F44-F321 etc.)are pickled and passivated
c- a pure vaseline oil is used as lubricant on all internal surfaces, this may be removed with a solvent if found
objectionable. All valves are adequately packed into a strong cardboard case in such a way to avoid any
possible damage during transport and storage period before use.
3.2 CAUTION AND MAINTENANCE PERIOD
3.3 IF BALL VALVES ARE NOT DESTINATED FOR IMMEDIATE USE FOLLOWING
CAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN:
a- if possible it would de advisable to leave the ball valves in their own packing cases during the entire
period of storage.
b- ball valve must remain in open position during all this time
c- in order to prevent any damage, the protective plastic cover on the ends of the valves shall not be
removed.
3.4 ATMOSFERIC PROTECTION
a- it is advisable to store the valve in waterproof conditions in a building with an adequate roof. Ball valves
shall be protected to safeguard against all the environments: humidity, moisture, rain, dust, dirt, sand, mud,
salt air, salt spray and seawater.
b- all valves complete with actuators are to be stored in closed and dry conditions.
3.5 LONG STORAGE PERIOD
Valves to be stored for a long time shall be checked by the quality control personnel every 6 months; every 3
months when valves are actuated.
3.6 MAINTENANCE DURING STORAGE PERIOD
a- internal surface must be inspected to check complete dust or other foreign parts absence
b- old rust or any dust must be removed by wiping with proper solvent
c- after cleaning, ball valves must be lubricated by using an adequate lubricant
d- ball valves must be operated for a least 2 complete cycles

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 THE BALL VALVES MAY BE INSTALLED IN ANY POSITION USING A STANDARD PIPE
FITTING PRACTICES
4.2 INFORMATION AND CAUTION BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE VALVE
a- pipe must be free of tension
b- pipe must be flushed to clean the dirt, burrs, calamines, welding residues etc. which would damage ball
and seats
c- the valve must be kept in OPEN POSITION during installation and protective plastic cover must be
removed only at the moment of installation
d- at the moment of the shipment the ball is lubricated with a pure vaseline oil, which can be easily removed
with a solvent if required
e-ball valves normally have a space between ball and inside cavity of the body which could trap the product,
care should be taken to drain the cavity.
f- care should always be taken to install the automated ball valves. Check for a correct actuator rotation and
well done electrical connection

Page 2 of 4
4.3 INSTALLATION OF THREADED ENDS
Use conventional sealant such as hemp core, ptfe etc
4.4 INSTALLATION OF WELDED ENDS BALL VALVES
A SW - BW with short ends instructions for welding the valve on the line: 1- tack weld in four points on
both end-cap 2- lift-out the center piece and complete the welding 3- insert the center piece and control for
easy operation
B WELDED NIPPLES - or integral nipple instructions for welding the valves on the line: with valve in open
position tack weld in four points on both ends and then complete the welding without dismantling the valve
and control for easy operation
4.5 INSTALLATION OF FLANGED ENDS
Easy fitting on the adequate bolts, nuts and gaskets.

5.0 OPERATION
CAUTION! during the operation the ball valves must be in either complete OPEN or CLOSED position in
order to ensure their smooth and efficient working and long duration of seats. Leaving the ball in half open
position could eventually cause damage to the soft seats.
5.1 MANUAL OPERATION
The opening and closing of the valve is done by turning the handle a quarter turn (90°)
a- valve is in open position when the handle is in line with the valve and pipe line
b- valve is in closed position when the handle is across the pipe line
5.2AUTOMATED OPERATION
Valve can be automatically operated by: A: pneumatic actuators (DA or SR), B: hydraulic actuators C:
electrical actuators D: gear box (manually operated). In this case no stop is fitted on the valve since it is
normally a part of the actuators.

6.0 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! Before starting the maintenance be sure that all pressure on the pipe is relieved.
- open and close the ball valve at least once to release the pressure completely also from the valve body.
- the ball valves if correctly used, normally do not need any internal lubrication and maintenance. However,
when necessary, ball , or seats can be replaced only by relatively qualified personnel following the
instruction of the manual without needs to use any machinery.
- for further information about the recommended SPARE PARTS LIST please check drawing, catalogue or
contact the factory.
6.1 STEAM LEAKAGE
If leakage is evident on stem packing area, it can be eliminated by increasing the tightness of the lock nut 2B.
In case leakage is still persisting the replacement of the stem packing 3 is recommended. For handle nut and
lock nut (2A-2B) tightness see table.
6.2 BODY SEALS LEAKAGE
Check for the tightness of the body bolts 16 according to table in case it is still leaking, it is necessary to
replace the body seals 11-18.
6.3 IN LINE OR SEATS LEAKAGE
Check that valve is in fully closed position if so and the leakage is persisting the valve must be disassembled
to replace damaged parts.
6.4 SAFETY PRECAUTION BEFORE REMOVING THE BALL VALVE FROM THE LINE FOR
DISASSEMBLE
a- check that all pressure is exhausted from the line (upstream and downstream) and half open the ball to
ensure that no pressure is trapped in the body cavity. In other words it must be drained of all fluid/gas and
pressure.
b- remove the valve from the line and cycle valve at minimum 1 full cycle to ensure that any pressure
trapped is released
c- CAUTION! If the fluid in the line and into the valve is toxic, inflammable, corrosive or damaging for any
other reason, it is advisable to take following precaution during the valve repairing:
- use protective eye mask or glasses
- use gloves, overalls and suitable footwear
- ensure that running water and fire extinguisher is easily available at any moment

7.0 VALVE DISASSEMBLY TO INSPECT AND/OR REPLACE BODY SEALS, SEATS, PACKING
AND BALL
a- set the valve in open position and take out all body bolts 16 and complete body from end connections
b- close the valve and remove seats and seat seals 10+19+20, ball 9 and body seals 11+18, be careful not to
damage the ball
c- remove handle nut 2A, handle 1, stop washer 17, lock nut 2B, spring washer 4, gland packing 6
d- push the stem 5 into the body 12. Remove packing rings 7 from body and o-ring 8 plus thrust-washer 7
from stem.

8.0 INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT


With the valve completely disassembled, clean and examine all the following components:
a- surface of the ball: any surface defect, particularly in the seating area will be extremely detrimental to the
performance of the valve and therefore the ball should be replaced if found defective
b- seats: replacement of seats is recommended
c- stem seals and body seals: also to be discharged and replaced by a new one
d- remaining components of the valve: after cleaning it is required a careful examination for wear, corrosion
and mechanical, damages particularly on threaded components. If components are found defective they
should be replaced.

9.0 RE-ASSEMBLY
Clean inside of body and stem housing. A light oil/grease compatible with line fluid can be used on ball,
seats and stem surfaces.
9.1 STEM RE-ASSEMBLY
a- replace thrust washer and o-ring 7-8 and then insert the stem from inside body
b- install the packing ring 3, gland packing 6, spring washer4 and lock nut 2B and tighten. To avoid rotation
of stem, apply temporarily the handle install stop washer 17, handle 1, handle nut 2A and tighten (see values
given in the table)
9.2 BALL, SEATS AND SEALS RE-ASSEMBLY
a- place the stem in closed position, insert the ball in the same position and rotated in open position
b- insert the seat ring seals 19+20, and seats 10 from inside end-caps
c- insert the 1° body gasket 11 and 2° body gaskets 18 from inside body
d- insert the center-piece between the end-caps and tighten bolts and nuts firmly (see values given in table)

10.0 TESTING
a- after having completed the re-assembly check for the manoeuvrability of the valve and make sure that
ball rotates freely
b- if facilities are available, test the ball valve to the appropriate specification

11.0 AUTOMATED BALL VALVES


a- if the valve is automated, reinstall the actuators and please note that the handle is not used. If necessary,
reset the stops. First set- the valve in open position and check that ball is fully open. Second set- the valve in
closed position and check, adjusting if necessary, for the best closure.
b- CAUTION! Valves with electrical actuators should be tested starting from valve in: HALF OPEN - HALF
CLOSED POSITION. This is to ensure that electrical connection is all right and rotation is correct. In case of
wrong position switch off electrical actuators immediately and change the direction. Limit and torque
switches are ineffective if rotation is wrong.

1.0 SCOPE
This manual is intended as a guide to assist customers or end-users for storage , installation, and maintenance of Starline ball valves in the standard arrangements. For this reason subsequent
additions and special instruction to the present manual will be provided in case of special ball valve, critical services or customer requirements.

2.0 APPLICABILITY
This manual is applicable to Starline ball valves.

3.0 STORAGE
3.1 INFORMATION ON SURFACE PROTECTION (EXTERNAL/INTERNAL) AND PACKING DETAILS.
a- before shipment from Starline factory all c.s. valves (A105-LF2) are protected against corrosion by phosphated treatment.
b- all S.S. valves (304-316-F51-F44-F321 etc.)are pickled and passivated
c- a pure vaseline oil is used as lubricant on all internal surfaces, this may be removed with a solvent if found objectionable. All valves are adequately packed into a strong cardboard case in
such a way to avoid any possible damage during transport and storage period before use.
3.2 CAUTION AND MAINTENANCE PERIOD
3.3 IF BALL VALVES ARE NOT DESTINATED FOR IMMEDIATE USE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN:
a- if possible it would de advisable to leave the ball valves in their own packing cases during the entire period of storage.
b- ball valve must remain in open position during all this time
c- in order to prevent any damage, the protective plastic cover on the ends of the valves shall not be removed.
3.4 ATMOSFERIC PROTECTION
a- it is advisable to store the valve in waterproof conditions in a building with an adequate roof. Ball valves shall be protected to safeguard against all the environments: humidity, moisture,
rain, dust, dirt, sand, mud, salt air, salt spray and seawater.
b- all valves complete with actuators are to be stored in closed and dry conditions.
3.5 LONG STORAGE PERIOD
Valves to be stored for a long time shall be checked by the quality control personnel every 6 months; every 3 months when valves are actuated.
3.6 MAINTENANCE DURING STORAGE PERIOD
a- internal surface must be inspected to check complete dust or other foreign parts absence
b- old rust or any dust must be removed by wiping with proper solvent
c- after cleaning, ball valves must be lubricated by using an adequate lubricant
d- ball valves must be operated for a least 2 complete cycles
3.7 HANDLING
For valves bigger than 2” it is advisable to use flat slidings to be applied between the hoister and the end hub. No other system is advisable since it could be risky. On large valves over
250kg.there are lifting eyes and standing feet for easy transportation and handling.

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 THE BALL VALVES MAY BE INSTALLED IN ANY POSITION USING A STANDARD PIPE FITTING PRACTICES
4.2 INFORMATION AND CAUTION BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE VALVE
a- pipe must be free of tension
b- pipe must be flushed to clean the dirt, burrs, calamines, welding residues etc. which would damage ball and seats
c- the valve must be kept in OPEN POSITION during installation and protective plastic cover must be removed only at the moment of installation
d- at the moment of the shipment the ball is lubricated with a pure vaseline oil, which can be easily removed with a solvent if required
e-ball valves normally have a space between ball and inside cavity of the body which could trap the product, care should be taken to drain the cavity.
f- care should always be taken to install the automated ball valves. Check for a correct actuator rotation and well done electrical connection

Page 2 of 4 ULTRA 0
4.3 INSTALLATION OF THREADED ENDS
Use conventional sealant such as hemp core, ptfe etc

4.4 INSTALLATION OF WELDED ENDS BALL VALVES


All Weld ends Starline Ultrastar valves are supplied with minimum 100mm integral nipples to avoid seats damages during welding operations.
Welding Instruction: with valve in open position tack weld in four points on both ends and then complete the welding without dismantling the valve and control for easy operation
4.5 INSTALLATION OF FLANGED ENDS
Easy fitting on the adequate bolts, nuts and gaskets.

5.0 OPERATION
CAUTION! during the operation the ball valves must be in either complete OPEN or CLOSED position in order to ensure their smooth and efficient working and long duration of seats.
Leaving the ball in half open position could eventually cause damage to the soft seats.
5.1 MANUAL OPERATION
The opening and closing of the valve is done by turning the handle a quarter turn (90°)
a- valve is in open position when the handle is in line with the valve and pipe line
b- valve is in closed position when the handle is across the pipe line
5.2AUTOMATED OPERATION
Valve can be automatically operated by: A: pneumatic actuators (DA or SR), B: hydraulic actuators C: electrical actuators D: gear box (manually operated). In this case no stop is fitted on the
valve since it is normally a part of the actuators.

6.0 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! Before starting the maintenance be sure that all pressure on the pipe is relieved.
- open and close the ball valve at least once to release the pressure completely also from the valve body.
- the ball valves if correctly used, normally do not need any internal lubrication and maintenance. However, when necessary, ball , or seats can be replaced only by relatively qualified
personnel following the instruction of the manual without needs to use any machinery.
- for further information about the recommended SPARE PARTS LIST please check drawing, catalogue or contact the factory.
6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTION BEFORE REMOVING THE BALL VALVE FROM THE LINE FOR DISASSEMBLE
a- check that all pressure is exhausted from the line (upstream and downstream) and half open the ball to ensure that no pressure is trapped in the body cavity. In other words it must be drained
of all fluid/gas and pressure.
b- remove the valve from the line and cycle valve at minimum 1 full cycle to ensure that any pressure trapped is released
c- CAUTION! If the fluid in the line and into the valve is toxic, inflammable, corrosive or damaging for any other reason, it is advisable to take following precaution during the valve repairing:
- use protective eye mask or glasses
- use gloves, overalls and suitable footwear
- ensure that running water and fire extinguisher is easily available at any moment
7.0 VALVE DISASSEMBLY
a- unscrew the adaptor bolts (part n.16)
b- take out the adaptor flange (part n.13) from the body (part n.12) one by one on both sides.
c- take out the seats (part n.10-10a-34) from the adaptor flanges (part n.13) in such a way not to allow the seat springs (part n.31) to come out from
their housing.

sealing indicated by a flow arrow on the body. The Tag
valve tag is located on the “High Pressure End” of the
valve mounting bracket.

Note:
In certain conditions, proper operation may require
the flow arrow be opposed to the line flow. Make sure
that the “High Pressure End” is positioned toward
the highest pressure against the valve in the closed
position. (Example: A downstream block valve isolating
a control valve will have the arrow pointing upstream.)

! WARNING! Use the following PRECAUTIONS!


Before welding, valve must be in the OPEN position to protect the ball from weld splatter
and surface damage.

DO NOT allow the main valve body to reach a temperature hotter than 1100º F (539º C)
during installation, welding or post weld heat treatment.

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

post weld heat treatment (pwht)
Note:
PWHT is not required for valves rated at ASME 1500 class or less.

! WARNING! Use the following PRECAUTIONS!


The valve body must always remain below 1100º F (593º C).

Proper use and placement of heating blankets accomplish this.

Higher temp. of the valve body WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

1 Install Heating Blankets


Before heat treatment, install heating blankets as
shown in the following section “PROPER PWHT
INSTALLATION.”

DO NOT insulate the center section of the valve body


(indicated by the dotted red outline), including the
neck section of the vented area.

PROPER PWHT INSTALLATION Heating Blanket


Insulation
Install heating blankets, covered by proper insulation,
Valve Body
as shown — no gaps/no overlaps. Heating blankets
Piping
cover only weld areas. Blankets should not cover
any part of the center section of the valve body.

This will allow the best and most effective stress


relieving in accordance with ASME B31.1, while
protecting the ball and seat assembly from damage.

If using a “snake” (sinuous coil heating element), make


sure both ends of the valve are heated uniformly. An
uninsulated loop in the middle will prevent proper
heating. There are 4 possible solutions:
1. Insulate the loop only.
2. Use two separate snakes, one for each end.
3. Treat each end separately.
4. Don’t use snakes. Best results are obtained
with snug-fitting blankets, properly placed and Piping
insulated. Valve Body

Note: Insulation
Improper installations of heating blankets are shown in

Heating blanket needs to cover the machined outside


diameter of the socketweld, as well as the weld and
pipe areas, to provide enough heat for proper stress
relief.

Insufficient stress relief may result in damage, delay,


and increased costs.

When a single heating blanket is too


long and is “tucked in” at the end,
heating elements next to the pipe
can easily be damaged by heat
from the elements on top of them.

The use of three heating blankets is definitely NOT


how to do it! Never apply heat to the valve body.
The center section of the valve body must remain
uninsulated and unheated.

General Notes:
1
PWHT is not mandatory provided the nominal thickness is 0.75 inches (19 mm) or less and the mininum preheat
temperature is applied when the nominal material thickness of either of the base metals exceeds 1 inch (25.4 mm).
2
PWHT is not mandatory provided the NPS is 4 or less, nominal material thickness is 0.5 inches (12.7 mm)
or less, a specified carbon content of the material to be welded is 0.15% or less, and the minimum preheat
temperature is maintained during welding.

3 Verify Operation
After installation, open and close the valve to ensure
smooth operation.

valve Insulation Limits


Valve insulation should not extend above the bottom
of the valve tag (as shown).

ESI-6113 Rev D © Copyright 2008 MOGAS Industries, Inc. 281.449.0291 www.mogas.com 15


OPERATION
open/close
On/Off ball valves are turned counter clockwise to
open and clockwise to close.

Note:
When cycling the valve open or close, make sure that
the valve is fully opened and fully closed. This wipes
debris from the ball and insures optimal performance
and long valve life.

! WARNING! Use the following PRECAUTION!


Throttling with ball valves is NOT recommended. Prolonged exposure of a portion of the ball
to flow can compromise the coating and ball, decreasing valve life.

THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

maintenance
re-torque packing gland

! WARNING!
Due to the potential for packing consolidation, verify proper packing torque adjustment
prior to placing the valve in service.

After the first exposure to elevated temperature, re-torque the valve’s packing gland.

Check packing gland nuts periodically, and re-torque if necessary.

The following table shows the proper torque required.

Open/Close valve regularly


Valves remaining open or closed for a long time
should be operated at least once a year.

Valves should always be fully opened and fully


closed to wipe away any accumulation on the sealing
surfaces.

Actuator Lubrication
Keep manual actuators fully lubricated with extreme
pressure and/or high-temperature grease as
applicable.

Lubricate hydraulic or pneumatic actuators according


to manufacturer’s instructions.

Avoid Valve Lubrication


MOGAS Ball Valves DO NOT need lubrication.
Injection or improper use of a lubricant may VOID
the warranty.

the stem (05), then insert and evenly press into the
packing box.

DO NOT try to open ring wide enough to install the


ring from the front. Instead, snake it around the stem,
minimizing how wide it must be opened. Forcing the
ring onto the stem frontally usually causes the ring to
break.

8 Use gland thruster (07B) as tool to slide each ring into


packing box. Continue this process until all rings are
positioned correctly in the packing box.
