V955 Fixed Orifice Double Regulating Valves Series:

V955 Ductile Iron FODRV Ductile iron double regulating valves

THE PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE 2014/68/EC and CE MARKING

The Pressure Equipment Regulations 1999 (SI 1999/2001) have now been introduced into United Kingdom law.

Valves with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar are covered by these new Regulations. Valves
are categorised according to their maximum working pressure, size and rising level of hazard. The level of hazard
varies according to the fluid being carried. Fluids are classified as Group 1, dangerous fluids or Group 2, all other
fluids including steam. The Categories designated are SEP (sound engineering practice). Valves up to and
including 25mm (1”) are designated SEP regardless of the fluid group. Those identified as having increased
hazard are Categorised as, I, II, III or IV. All valves designated as SEP do not bear the CE mark nor require a
Declaration of Conformity. Categories I, II, III or IV carries the CE mark and require a Declaration of Conformity.
Valves classified from the piping chart would not be included in Category IV.

Section 1- Technical Details

1.1 The Pegler Commercial Double Regulating Valve series (available from Pegler Yorkshire Group) are
intended for the isolation and regulation of sections of pipe work and equipment in HVAC applications
and general commercial applications. The valves have non rising stems and operated by wheel handles.

1.2 Tube compatibility

Valve Type Flange Connection Specification

V955 PN16 Flanges to EN1092-2 PN16

1.3 Pressure and Temperature ratings

Valves must be installed in a piping system whose normal pressure and temperature does not exceed the stated
rating of the valve. The maximum allowable pressure in valves as specified in the standards is for non shock
conditions. Water hammer and impact should also be avoided.

If system testing will subject the valve to pressures in excess of the working pressure, this should be within the
“shell test pressure for the body” to a maximum of 1.5 times the PN rating of the valve and conducted with the
valve fully opened.
It may be hazardous to use these valves outside of their specified pressure and temperature limitations and also
when not used for the correct application.

Section 2-Installation

2.1 Electrical continuity

All metallic pipe work should comply with the equi-potential bonding requirements of the current edition of the IEE
wiring regulations (BS7671:2001). After all plumbing work has been completed continuity checks are to be
conducted by a qualified electrician in accordance with the regulations.

2.2 Heat free

The Pegler V955 offers Heat free jointing across its whole range with flanged connection technology. These valve
connections must not be brazed.

2.3 Insulation

For all Pegler V955, it is recommended that you adhere to the insulation requirements as specified by the Water
Supply(Water Fittings Regulations 1999, ensuring at all times that access for valve operation is taken into
consideration.

2.4 Valve selection

Valves must be properly selected for their intended services conditions. Provided it is installed correctly and
receives adequate preventative maintenance it should give years of trouble free service.

They must be compatible with the system design, pressure and temperature requirements and must be suitable
for the fluids that they are intended to carry. Interactions between metals in the pipe system must be considered
as part of the valve selection.

Double regulating valves perform best when they are installed in an upright position. The direction of flow must
be respected as indicated by the cast body arrow. They are fitted when the valve is in the open position.

Double regulating valves are designed for isolation and regulation or throttling of flow.

2.5 Location/end of line service

To ensure ease of operation, adjustment, maintenance and repair, valve siting should be decided during the
system design phase.
Pegler double regulating valves are not suitable for end-of-line service.
Where double regulating valves are required for end of line service a blanking flange must be fitted to the
downstream end of the valve.

2.6 Pre Installation- Health and Safety

Before starting work on any installation a risk assessment must be made to consider the possibility of operational
limits being exceeded and reduction or elimination of ant potential hazards.
1. Protective clothing and safety equipment must be utilized as appropriate to the hazard presented by the
nature of the process to which the valve is being installed or maintained.
2. Before installing or removing a valve the pipeline circulating pumps (when fitted) must be turned off. The
pipeline must be depressurised, drained and vented. Valves must be fully opened to ensure release of any
pipeline or valve pressure.
3. Fitters must be trained in manual and mechanical handling to enable them to safely lift and install Pegler
valves.
4. The valve selected must be suitable for the required service conditions. The pressure and temperature
limitations are indicated on the valve nameplates, body or data plate. They must not be exceeded.
5. Valve seats, seals and internal components can be damaged by system debris. Protective devices may
need to be fitted and system flushing may be required.
6. Any flushing fluid used to clean the pipeline must not cause any damage to the valve and its components.
7. Pegler valves must not be misused by lifting them by their hand wheels, levers or valve stems.

8. Pegler valves are not suitable for fatigue loading, creep conditions, fire testing, fire hazard environment,
corrosive or erosive service, or for carrying fluids containing abrasive solids. There is no allowance for
corrosion in the design of these valves. Design for this valve do not allow for decomposition of unstable
fluids and must not be used where this could occur.
9. Pegler valves are not designed to withstand the effects of fire, wind, earthquakes and traffic.
10. All Health and Safety Rules must be followed when installing and maintaining valves.
.

Installation – Flanged valves.

Unpack the valve.

Check that the valve is correct for its intended use. Before valve installation the pipe work to which the valve is to be
connected should be inspected for cleanliness and freedom from debris.
Before valve installation the pipe work to which the valve is to be connected should be inspected for cleanliness and freedom

Before valve installation the pipe work to which the valve is to be connected should be inspected for cleanliness and freedom
from debris.

Ensure that any flange protectors are removed.

Check that the flow paths are clear and that the threads are clean and free from debris.
Ensure that the valve is fully open during installation.
Flange components have their own design limitations and correct selection and compatibility is vital.

Flange material specification:

Pressure and temperature must not exceed its rating

Gasket selection must be in line with the rating of the flange
The fluid being handled will affect the gasket selection.
All bolts must be compatible with the mating flange being used
Pipe and its mating flange should be cleaned and made ready for assembly.
A clean and appropriate gasket should be selected for the flange type being used.
Flat face and raised faces flanges should not be mixed.
Piping should be properly supported with the use of correctly sized hanging or securing brackets.
All pipes need to be aligned correctly to ensure that the valve integrity is maintained, avoiding twisting and
distortion of the valves structure and valve damage.
As the valve is assembled in the pipeline ensure that the bolts are placed and secured with nuts at hand
tightness employing the crossover method of tightening to secure a sound and leak tight joint.

Double regulating balancing valves provide positive shut off but when installing the valve respect for the flow
direction must be made as indicated by the body arrow.

Use suitable hangers close to both ends of the valve in order to remove stresses transmitted by the pipe.

Operation/ Commissioning

Pegler V955 valves: To open – an anti clockwise rotation of the hand wheel will open the valve. When it will go
no further then rotate the hand wheel clockwise a ½ turn. To close- a clockwise turn of the hand wheel. Closure
will be confirmed when the handle can be turned no further.

CLOSE

OPEN
V955 double regulating valves:

V955 series double regulating balancing valves and commissioning valves (when used with V953 Metering stations) are
designed for regulating and throttling service. The V955 has a double regulating or memory stop feature. Once a regulated
position is attained the cap on the valve handle may be removed. A brass threaded screw can be observed. Using a
screwdriver this can then be turned until a positive stop is felt. Replace the cap. Whenever the valve is closed for isolating the
valve can be reopened to the previous setting without re commissioning.

Regulating positions are readable on the scale counter on the valve stem as the valve handle is turned to achieve a set flow
rate.

To open - an anti-clockwise rotation of the hand wheel will open the valve. When it will go no further return the hand wheel
clockwise 1/2 turn.

To close the valve – a clockwise rotation of the hand wheel will close the valve. Closure will be confirmed when the handle can
be turned no further.

Caution: Service applications with extremes of temperature may cause the disk to become tight in the valve. The valve may be
become stiff to operate in these circumstances.
Suitable hand protection should be worn when operating valves used in extreme temperature applications.

MAINTENANCE

A regular maintenance program is the most efficient method of ensuring longer term operational efficiency of the
selected valve. Such a program would need to include a risk assessment and a planned procedure of how the

IOM V955 Pegler Yorkshire

www.pegleryorkshire.co.uk
maintenance will be carried out. The possibility of operational limits being exceeded and the potential hazards
ensuing must be considered as part of this assessment.

This should be implemented to include visual checks on the valve's condition and any development of
unforeseen conditions, which could lead to failure.
Should a valve need replacing then the following should be taken into consideration.
The valve should be at zero pressure and ambient temperature before any valve replacement is carried out.
The correct fitting tools and equipment should be used for valve replacement work.

Separate means of draining the pipe work must be provided when carrying out any replacement of V955 ductile
iron double regulating valves.

Where there may be any system debris this should be collected and /or filtered by installation of the appropriate
protective device.

PRODUCT LIFE SPAN

When a valve is properly selected for its service conditions it should give years of trouble-free service provided it
is installed correctly and receives adequate preventative maintenance. By not considering the compatibility of the
system design and the pressure and temperature requirements the life expectancy of the valves can be
adversely affected and valve failure may occur. The nature of the fluid being carried through the valve could also
affect the valve performance as this could lead to premature valve failure. There may also be interactions
between metals in the pipe system and the valve which need to be considered. Appropriate flushing and
cleaning of the pipe work installation should take place when commissioning the system as this would help
extend the valve life.
