 Operating Principle & Identifying Features
Series SWN-22/V

Identifying features
The handwheel operated packed valve uses non-metallic seat and its sealing mechanism is designed to seal by hand. The design
uses 4 x PTFE self-adjusting, spring loaded bevel packings. O-rings provide sealing in case of leakage through packing. This
eliminates gland leakage associated with packed valves. The design employs two-piece spindle in which the non-threaded non-
rotating lower spindle is connected by T-slot to the threaded upper spindle. The lower spindle assembly seals against the Monel
seat without rotating which reduces wear and particle generation. This sealing motion and soft seating allows the valve to be
operated using hand torque, thereby eliminating the need for special wrenches to operate the valve. Leakage through gland nut
threads is protected by metallic sealing with protection provided by O-ring below gland nut thread. Lock nut prevents loosening
of gland nut and unscrewing of operating mechanism.
No threads are in wetted gas area. The external tightness sealing mechanism provides very high seal integrity compared to
packed valves.

Recommended opening procedure

The T-slot interface of the upper and lower spindle creates a free play of about 1/4 turn. The handwheel rotates approximately
two turns in anti-clockwise direction from closed to fully open position. It is advisable to open the valve fully and then rotate the
handwheel clockwise about 1/2 turn. This position provides maximum flow and prevents the valve to backseat.

Recommended closing procedure

Close the cylinder valve tightly in clockwise direction using a gloved hand.

Valve installation
Valving procedure & torque guidelines should be as per EN ISO 13341.
For NGT threads, we recommend hand tight + 3 turns wrench tight to install the valve in the cylinders.
(Refer https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E0H1B_Z4rBb7ddQJ6R897duZPmFSzHCH/view?usp=sharing)
Valving tools (e.g. sockets or jaws) used to screw the valve into the cylinder must make contact with the flats in the valve body.
The tools should fit the valve properly without causing damage.
Valves should not be over-torqued into the cylinder to avoid high stresses in the cylinder neck, leading to overload failures. Over-
torquing may also lead to irreparable damage to the valve stem.

1. NEVER use wrenches or other persuaders to operate the valve.

2. Do not attempt to replace soft seat in the lower spindle.
3. Repair and maintenance shall be carried out by trained personnel.
4. Proper filling connectors shall be used for filling and discharge ensuring contact only at the intended sealing surface.

 Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly Instructions
Series SWN-22/V

Disassembly of Valve
1. Place the valve assembly after removing from the cylinder in a vice or similar holding fixture. The holding fixture should securely grip the valve
body (1) on the wrench flats so that no damage is done to the internal bores, inlet & outlet threads.
2. Using an 11 mm socket, remove the handwheel nut (18) from the handwheel (15) by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Remove the handwheel from the spindle square.
4. Using a 35.0 mm socket wrench or hex box wrench, unscrew the lock nut (14) by turning it counter clockwise.
5. Using a 25.4 mm socket wrench or hex box wrench, remove the gland nut (11) by turning it clockwise. The entire operating mechanism will
come out with the gland nut. Using the handwheel, rotate the upper spindle assembly (10) in clockwise direction till the lower spindle assembly
(4) can be removed from the T-slot. Now remove the handwheel & unscrew the upper spindle from the gland nut by rotating it in clockwise
direction.
6. Remove other parts as necessary.

Inspection of Valve & Components

1. Valve body (1)
a. Inspect the valve body chamber for dirt, debris or damage. Where possible, blow out the valve body chamber using clean, dry compressed
Air or Nitrogen to remove any foreign particles.
b. Inspect the body seat insert (3) for damage.
c. Do not attempt to repair the valve body and body seat insert, if it is damaged.
2. Components
a. Always discard the packing (6) once removed from the valve & use new packings.
b. Inspect all parts visually for wear / damage. Replace parts as necessary.
c. Handwheel (15) should only be reused if in good condition

Assembly of Valve
1. Lubricate parts as per GA drawing.
NOTE Customer will receive parts in lubricated condition.
2. Insert O-ring (2) in body seat insert (3) and screw inside the thread provided in the valve body. Tighten at 16 ± 1 Nm using 1/4” Allen key in
clockwise direction.
3. Insert O-ring (13) in gland nut (11) external groove. Insert O-ring (12) in gland nut internal groove.
4. Insert packing collar (5) in the lower spindle assembly (4) ensuring the flat face rests on the step.
5. Insert 4 x PTFE bevelled packing (6) in overlapping configuration.
6. Insert packing gland O-ring (9) in the external groove & spindle O-ring (12) in the internal groove of the packing gland (7).
7. Place packing gland on the PTFE packings ensuring the bevelled face rests on top of the packings.
8. Place 3 x Belleville springs (8) on top of the packing gland so that it properly loads the packings.
9. Screw in upper spindle in the gland nut up to 1 turns by rotating it in anticlockwise direction.
10. Insert lower spindle assembly with assembled parts in the T-slot of the upper spindle & fully rotate the upper spindle in anticlockwise direction.
11. Insert the assembled operating mechanism inside the valve body (1) & rotate the gland nut in anticlockwise direction.
12. Clamp the valve body in vice with Nylon clamp pads, ensuring no damage to the valve body & tighten the gland nut using 25.4 mm socket
wrench or HEX box wrench at torque of 60 ± 2 Nm in anti-clockwise direction.
13. Screw the lock nut (14) on the gland nut by rotating it in clockwise direction. Using a 35.0 mm socket wrench or HEX box wrench, tighten the
lock nut at torque of 30 ± 1 Nm so that the lock nut rests on the gland nut face.
14. Fit handwheel (15) by tightening handwheel retaining nut (18) over plain washer (16) & spring washer (17) at torque of
9 ± 1 Nm.
