Installation, Operating
and Maintenance Instructions.
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.
1.1 Pegler Commercial Cast Iron gate valves (available from Pegler Yorkshire Group) are intended for the
isolation 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.
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
All metallic pipework should comply with the equipotential 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.
The Pegler V950, V951 Series 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 V950,V951 Series valves, 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.
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.
Gate valves perform best when they are installed in an upright position. The direction of flow is not important.
They are fitted when the valve is in the open position.
Gate valves are designed for isolation and should either be fully opened or fully closed and should not be used
for regulation or throttling of flow.
To ensure ease of operation, adjustment, maintenance and repair, valve siting should be decided during the
system design phase.
Pegler gate valves are not suitable for end-of-line service.
Where gate valves are required for end of line service a blanking flange must be fitted to the downstream end of
the valve.
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.
Butterfly valves provide positive shut off in both directions,. The disc profile is designed to give sealing properties
at minimum torque. Raised seat profile provides a positive flange seal.
Use suitable hangers close to both ends of the valve in order to remove stresses transmitted by the pipe.
Section 3 Testing
3.1 TESTING
DN50-DN300 - each products shall be pneumatically tested at 6 bar (90psig) for 5 sec. There shall be no signs of visible
leakage from the Body / Bonnet joint, surfaces or seals.
Type Testing-These tests shall be carried out at Pegler Limited on a sample basis in accordance with BS6001.
DN50-DN300 PN16 DN65-DN200 PN6
a) Hydrostatic body test 24 bar 9bar
b) Hydraulic seat test 17.6 bar 6.6bar
c) Pneumatic body test 6 bar 6bar
d) Pneumatic seat test 6 bar 6bar
PN rated valves
V950 and V951 Gate valves are categorised as S.E P. (Sound Engineering Practice) as such must not be
CE marked.
Certification
Non applicable
Operation/ Commissioning
Pegler V950, V951 series 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.

OPEN
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
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 V950, V951
Ductile / Cast iron gate 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.
3.2 Additives
It is strongly recommended to consult a commissioning engineer in conjunction with the manufacturer prior to
their use.
