The PED is a directive that applies to the design, manufacture, and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and pressure assemblies. All equipment covered by the directive must comply with essential safety requirements and meet the equivalent national laws of all member countries.

PED Classification
To ensure that products intended for Europe meet the requirements of PED. It is necessary to determine the proper PED classification. In the PED, pressure equipment can be classified one of the following categories.

• SEP (Sound Engineering Practice)
• Category I
• Category II
• Category III
• Category IV

SEP Products
The SEP classification applies to pressure equipment that is not subject to Category I, II, III, or IV conformity assessment, but must be designed and manufactured with “sound engineering practice” as defined by the PED.

INSTALLATION

Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal injury. Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given specification or on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or damage, provide a relief valve for over‐pressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices. Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

Recommended tools and supplies are: Adjustable wrench, Strap wrench, Thread lubricant.

Before installing the valve, inspect the valve and associated equipment for any damage and any foreign material.

Make sure ports are clean from debris that may have accumulated during storage or transportation.

Install valve using optional panel mounting stud, 4 places.

Pipe the valve into your system using ports PRESS, CYL 1, CYL 2 and RET. Use accepted piping practice when installing the valve in line.
Note: For center of gravity of valve, please refer to Sales drawing. Center of gravity location can shift slightly due to location of handle and fluid inside unit.

Maintenance

1. All Barksdale 4-Way Heavy Duty Control Valve are equipped with a grease fitting in the housing. If media is oil-soluble greasing is not necessary, valve is self-lubricated each time the valve is cycled. For non-oil based media valve can be lubricated through this fitting. Frequency of lubrication depends entirely on the duty cycle of the valve. An increase in handle load will indicate exactly what lubrication schedule should be followed.
2. Disassemble and inspect valve, replace damaged/worn parts and O-rings every two years or 2,000,000 cycles whichever occurs first.
3. At first sign of excessive internal leakage valve should be disassembled and source of leakage repaired. Allowing the valve to continue in operation may cause excessive wear or damage to other components. This is caused by the escaping fluid which is generally in the form of a jet stream.

WAY HEAVY DUTY CONTROL VALVE REPAIR

This section outlines the disassembly and reassembly procedures for the 4-way heavy duty control valves. Differences in reassembling the selector, manipulator, and diverter type valves are pointed out in the procedures below. In all other steps, various types of valves and valves of all sizes use the same procedures.

WARNING!
Isolate the 4-way valve from all system pressure before performing any disassembly procedures. Also, cycle valve handle fully in the clockwise & counter-clockwise position. This will ensure any remaining static pressure trapped within the valve is bled off.

The numbers in parentheses correspond to the item numbers shown on Figure 1.1 and the parts index shown on Figure 1.2.
