3.6 Secondary Seals

Valves shall be equipped with sealant injection ports complete with non-return valve to
provide for emergency seat and stem sealing.

3.7 Block and Bleed

The valve body shall be tapped and plugged with 1/2 inch NPT to permit block and
bleed service.

3.8 Operators

Valve 6-inches and larger shall be supplied with gear operators. Four-inch valves
3000 psig MOP and above shall also be gear operated. All other valves shall be
furnished with wrench operators. All valves shall positively identify open and closed
position.

3.9 Marking

All valves shall be marked and filled with nameplates in accordance with Section 7 of
API-6D and MSS SP-25.

4 FABRICATION

4.1 General

Valves shall be fabricated and assembled in accordance with API-6A or API-6D and
with accepted good practice. The manufacturer shall carry out all non-destructive
tests necessary to verify the quality of castings, forgings and fabricated components.

4.2 Testing

All valves shall be subject to hydrostatic shell and seat tests by the manufacturer in
accordance with API-6D Section 5 and MEP-P-ES-006. The manufacturer shall
furnish test certificates to the COMPANY.

4.3 Inspection

The COMPANY may inspect or may appoint a third party inspector to inspect the
manufacture of the valves and to witness tests. The manufacturer shall afford access
to the inspector as required by the API Codes and by MEP-P-ES-006.

4.4 Painting

All valves shall be shot, grit or sand blasted to near white metal finish (NACE No. 2)
and shall be coated with an inorganic zinc silicate primer in accordance with the
