1: Minimum bolt lengths based on use of Spears
standard S.A.E. hex bolts and Standard Plate "W" Series fl at washers.
2: Specifi ed bolt lengths are maximum allowable for maintaining proper clearance in
initial Single-Side installation with Lugs where anticipated 2nd Flange installation option
is to be retained without removal of valve.
3: Minimum bolt length through 2-fl anges, 2-gaskets,2-fl at washers and 1-valve body.

CAUTION: The system must be designed and installed so as not to pull the
components in any direction. Pipe system must be cut and installed in such
1-3/4
a manner as to avoid all stress loads associated with bending, pulling, or
1-3/4
shifting. All piping systems must be supported.

NOT FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS
WARNING: Do not use compressed air or gas to test any PVC or CPVC
Flat
thermoplastic piping product or system, and do not use devices
propelled by compressed air or gas to clear the systems. These
practices may result in explosive fragmentation of system piping and
1-1/4
components causing bodily injury or death.
1-3/8
All air must be bled from the system during the initial fl uid fi ll. Pressure
1-3/8
testing of the system must not be made until all solvent cement joints have
1-3/8
properly cured. Initial pressure testing must be made at approximately 10%
1-3/8
of the system hydrostatic pressure rating to identify potential problems prior
to testing at higher pressures.

Bolt Lengths
Bolt Lengths will vary according
to thickness of valve, mating
fl anges, washers, nuts and
gaskets used.
The following formula may be
used to calculate bolt length for
installation with mating fl ange
each side:
L = V + 2 ( F + G + W ) + N
L = Minimum Bolt Length
V = Valve Lay Length
F = Flange Thickness
G = Gasket Thickness
W = Washer Thickness
N = Nut Thickness
