• Remove cylinder tubing and release the air
inside the cylinder.
• Disconnect piston rod from gate by removing
clevis bolts and nuts.
• Apply air slowly to bottom port of actuator so
that piston rod is retracted from the gate.
• Remove actuator assay from valve by removing
fasteners connecting yoke to valve body.
For Manual Valves:
• Close the valve fully.
• Disconnect stem from gate by removing clevis
bolts and nuts.
• Rotate handwheel anti-clockwise. Prevent stem
from rotating so that it is retracted fully from gate.
• If valves are supplied with bellows, ensure stem
does not rotate, as this will damage the bellows.
Servicing is recommended in a clean workplace
(such as instrument workshop).
• Remove gland nuts and gland.
• Remove old packing from packing chamber, one
layer at a time, using a screwdriver.
• Insert new packing one layer at a time. Stagger
the cut ends of each packing so that they meet
but do not line up. If a nitrile quad seal is
supplied, this must be placed as middle layer.
• Tap each packing ring firmly and evenly into the
chamber before installing the next ring. The ends
of each ring should meet but not overlap.
• Re-fit packing gland and gland nuts.
• Tighten gland nuts - finger-tight plus 1/2 turn.
• Apply air slowly for cylinder operated valves to
lower piston rod for fastening stem to gate.
• Lower stem by rotating handwheel clockwise.
Prevent stem from rotating and fasten stem to
gate with nuts and bolts.
If leakage is observed from the packing area after
installing the valve in pipeline and after valve is
pressurized or charged with media, tighten the
gland nuts just enough to stop leakage. Do not
over-tighten gland nuts.
SEAL REPLACEMENT
Caution: To avoid injury and/or equipment damage,
relieve line pressure before attempting to remove
valve from line. If valve is fitted with pneumatic
actuator, solenoid valve, limit switches or other
accessories, disconnect electrical and pneumatic
supply first.
• Relieve line pressure and close valve.
If necessary, flush the line.
• Remove valve from line by loosening flange
mounting bolts, studs and nuts.
• Remove actuator from valve.
• Remove gland and gland packing.
• Loosen fasteners and separate valve body halves.
• Inspect “Bore Liners” (Fig 755 valves) and
replace if necessary.
• Carefully remove gate from valve body.
• Remove damaged seal from valve body.
• Clean body halves. Place the new seal on one T H E VA A S F I G.. 755

body half and place the gate inside the seal. K N I F E G AT E VAA LV
L E
• Place second body half over first body half with
seal and gate in place. Finger-tighten fasteners.
• With valve in a vertical position, attach actuator
(manual or pneumatic).
• Mount actuator or handwheel and close gate
fully to ensure gate and seal are perfectly aligned.
• Tighten body fasteners in criss-cross manner
from bottom (flange side) to top (chest area) and
ensure gate is in full contact with seal.
• Disconnect actuator from valve.
• Install gland packing as described in “Packing
Replacement” instructions.
• Mount actuator onto valve. Operate /stroke the
valve a few times to test it for seat leakage.
BORE LINER REPLACEMENT
• Place valve body in a hydraulic press.
• Use a circular plate (with a diameter slightly less
than the bore liner’s OD) to remove bore liner by
pressing it from raised face side of valve body.
• Clean new bore liners and press onto valve body
from seal side.
• Ensure liner is fully pressed onto valve body.
• Repeat above process for second body half.
ACTUATORS
PNEUMATIC CYLINDER
The VAAS pneumatic cylinder actuator does not
require any routine maintenance. The FRP cylinder
is lubricated for life with a special coating on the
inside wall. However, if the actuator is dismantled,
lubricate the cylinder wall, piston seal and cylinder
seals according to instructions. Filtered dry instru-
ment-quality air (non-lubricated) must be used for
operation at the specified air supply pressure.
Refer to VAAS IOM – 94560/04/2001for details as the
actuator parts are common to both Standard Knife MANUFACTURED TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS, INCLUDING
Gate Valve and Bi-Directional Gate Valve.
MSS SP-81, THIS TOUGH INDUSTRY-PROVEN VALVE WITH FIELD-REPLACEABLE LINER
Recommended spare parts: IS WIDELY USED IN MINING AND PROCESS PLANTS
• Gland packing • U-Seal • Bore Liners
FOR ABRASIVE & CORROSIVE SLURRY APPLICATIONS.
• Cylinder Repair Kit (consists of O-rings for cylinder
head, cap, piston, piston rod and piston seal).
 VAAS SERIES 700 BI-D SLURRY VALVES
SERIES 700 OFFERS A RANGE OF KNIFE GATE
VALVES DESIGNED FOR BI-DIRECTIONAL
TIGHT SHUT-OFF TO HANDLE DIFFICULT
MEDIA SUCH AS ABRASIVE SLURRIES,
SLUDGES AND DRY POWDERS.
Unlike the VAAS uni-directional knife gate
valves (e.g. Fig. 940 and Fig. 950) which employ
face sealing on a raised seat, the Series 700
uses an elastomer seal around the periphery of
the gate to effect fluid sealing. Since the
peripheral seal is symmetrical, the sealing
remains identical from either direction of valve
flow, thus offering fully bi-directional shut-off.
The valve is fitted with a special elastomer
quad-seal in the gland packing for effective
sealing to atmosphere.
Unlike conventional knife gate valves which
have raised seat flow restrictions, the Series
700 offers a straight, unrestricted flow path to
the media being handled. The bore of the valve
is equal to Schedule 40 pipe diameter, and
combined with the minimum face-to-face
dimension of the wafer design, offers the least
possible pressure drop across the valve.
The standard range is designed for 10 bar CWP.
Valves are also available for 16 bar & 20 bar
high pressure applications with specials for
even higher pressures on request.
The superstructure is designed for easy inter-
changeability between the manual handwheel
construction and VAAS pneumatic actuation.
Series 700 offers two models - Fig. 755 FRL (full
bore, replaceable polyurethane liners) and Fig.
752 (available with optional polyurethane body
inserts).

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
MODELS AND FEATURES
Model 755 FRL - Bi-directional, mid flange design,
elastomer seated knife gate valve with replaceable
bore liners for handling heavy-duty abrasive and
corrosive slurry applications.
Model 752 - Bi-directional, mid flange design,
elastomer seated knife gate valve with optional body
inserts for handling medium slurry and clean fluid
applications.
UNPACKING
Check for external damage to box before unpacking.
Ensure there is no damage to valves and acces-
sories that might have occurred during transit.
Notify your insurance agency in case of damage.
MARKINGS
Size and brief material specification are marked on
valve body. Stainless steel nameplate contains rele-
vant information including VAAS work-order number
and unique serial number. These details should be
quoted for all service and spares requirements.
INSTALLATION & MOUNTING ORIENTATION
• Valves, being bi-directional, can be mounted with
flow from either end.
• On horizontal lines, if there is a possibility of
particles /solids settling at the bottom, it is
preferable to install valve so that the stem is
horizontal/inclined.
• Install valve between flanges using fasteners and
gaskets.
• Bolt holes in chest area are always blind tapped.
Do not bottom-out bolts while tightening. Refer to
GA Drawing /Technical Bulletin for quantity and
size of blind tapped holes in valve chest area. In
case correct size bolts are unavailable, use studs
and nuts in chest area to avoid damage to body.
Caution: Valve sizes 200mm and above (Cylinder
Operated) should be supported at the yoke (cylinder
end) when being installed in vertical /inclined lines.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES
CYLINDER OPERATED VALVES
• Connect instrument quality air, preferably through
an Air Filter Regulator of adequate size. Optimum
air supply pressure is 5-8 bar (80-120 psi).
• Ensure supply air is free from moisture, dirt and
other foreign particles. Drain filter regulator
before operating actuator so that pipe rust and
dirt in the airline is removed before actuation.
• If valves are supplied with electrical accessories,
e.g. limit switch and solenoid valve, ensure wiring
complies with local electrical safety codes and
regulations. Ensure correct supply voltage to
electrical accessories for proper functioning and
safety of the equipment.
• Open valve by energizing solenoid valve for air
supply to cylinder and operate valve 2-3 times.
MANUAL VALVES
• Open /Close valve manually and observe valve
operation.
• Gland packing is tightened to hold the specified
pressure and tested for no leakage before
despatch. However, this may require some
adjustment at site due to loosening in transit.
• Check for gland leakage after valve is subjected
to pressure. If leakage is observed, tighten gland
uniformly in criss-cross pattern until leakage
stops.
Caution:
• Incorrect power supply to accessories will
damage the equipment.
• Do not over-tighten gland nuts as this may cause
excess friction and premature damage to packing.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Manual valve stem and thrust bearing should be
lubricated at regular intervals for smooth operation
of valve. Lubrication nipple is provided on the collar.
Cylinder operated valves do not require routine
lubrication. However, if disassembled for repair, the
cylinder wall and seals are to be lubricated with
lithium-based grease.
PACKING REPLACEMENT
Caution: Relieve line pressure before loosening
gland nuts to avoid injury and/or equipment damage.
• Relieve line pressure.
• Close valve fully.
• Ensure line is empty. Flush the line, if needed.
For Cylinder operated valves:
• Switch off electrical supply to solenoid valve
and limit switches.

 VAAS SERIES 700 BI-D SLURRY VALVES
SERIES 700 OFFERS A RANGE OF KNIFE GATE
VALVES DESIGNED FOR BI-DIRECTIONAL
TIGHT SHUT-OFF TO HANDLE DIFFICULT
MEDIA SUCH AS ABRASIVE SLURRIES,
SLUDGES AND DRY POWDERS.
Unlike the VAAS uni-directional knife gate
valves (e.g. Fig. 940 and Fig. 950) which employ
face sealing on a raised seat, the Series 700
uses an elastomer seal around the periphery of
the gate to effect fluid sealing. Since the
peripheral seal is symmetrical, the sealing
remains identical from either direction of valve
flow, thus offering fully bi-directional shut-off.
The valve is fitted with a special elastomer
quad-seal in the gland packing for effective
sealing to atmosphere.
Unlike conventional knife gate valves which
have raised seat flow restrictions, the Series
700 offers a straight, unrestricted flow path to
the media being handled. The bore of the valve
is equal to Schedule 40 pipe diameter, and
combined with the minimum face-to-face
dimension of the wafer design, offers the least
possible pressure drop across the valve.
The standard range is designed for 10 bar CWP.
Valves are also available for 16 bar & 20 bar
high pressure applications with specials for
even higher pressures on request.
The superstructure is designed for easy inter-
changeability between the manual handwheel
construction and VAAS pneumatic actuation.
Series 700 offers two models - Fig. 755 FRL (full
bore, replaceable polyurethane liners) and Fig.
752 (available with optional polyurethane body
inserts).

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
MODELS AND FEATURES
Model 755 FRL - Bi-directional, mid flange design,
elastomer seated knife gate valve with replaceable
bore liners for handling heavy-duty abrasive and
corrosive slurry applications.
Model 752 - Bi-directional, mid flange design,
elastomer seated knife gate valve with optional body
inserts for handling medium slurry and clean fluid
applications.
UNPACKING
Check for external damage to box before unpacking.
Ensure there is no damage to valves and acces-
sories that might have occurred during transit.
Notify your insurance agency in case of damage.
MARKINGS
Size and brief material specification are marked on
valve body. Stainless steel nameplate contains rele-
vant information including VAAS work-order number
and unique serial number. These details should be
quoted for all service and spares requirements.
INSTALLATION & MOUNTING ORIENTATION
• Valves, being bi-directional, can be mounted with
flow from either end.
• On horizontal lines, if there is a possibility of
particles /solids settling at the bottom, it is
preferable to install valve so that the stem is
horizontal/inclined.
• Install valve between flanges using fasteners and
gaskets.
• Bolt holes in chest area are always blind tapped.
Do not bottom-out bolts while tightening. Refer to
GA Drawing /Technical Bulletin for quantity and
size of blind tapped holes in valve chest area. In
case correct size bolts are unavailable, use studs
and nuts in chest area to avoid damage to body.
Caution: Valve sizes 200mm and above (Cylinder
Operated) should be supported at the yoke (cylinder
end) when being installed in vertical /inclined lines.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES
CYLINDER OPERATED VALVES
• Connect instrument quality air, preferably through
an Air Filter Regulator of adequate size. Optimum
air supply pressure is 5-8 bar (80-120 psi).
• Ensure supply air is free from moisture, dirt and
other foreign particles. Drain filter regulator
before operating actuator so that pipe rust and
dirt in the airline is removed before actuation.
• If valves are supplied with electrical accessories,
e.g. limit switch and solenoid valve, ensure wiring
complies with local electrical safety codes and
regulations. Ensure correct supply voltage to
electrical accessories for proper functioning and
safety of the equipment.
• Open valve by energizing solenoid valve for air
supply to cylinder and operate valve 2-3 times.
MANUAL VALVES
• Open /Close valve manually and observe valve
operation.
• Gland packing is tightened to hold the specified
pressure and tested for no leakage before
despatch. However, this may require some
adjustment at site due to loosening in transit.
• Check for gland leakage after valve is subjected
to pressure. If leakage is observed, tighten gland
uniformly in criss-cross pattern until leakage
stops.
Caution:
• Incorrect power supply to accessories will
damage the equipment.
• Do not over-tighten gland nuts as this may cause
excess friction and premature damage to packing.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Manual valve stem and thrust bearing should be
lubricated at regular intervals for smooth operation
of valve. Lubrication nipple is provided on the collar.
Cylinder operated valves do not require routine
lubrication. However, if disassembled for repair, the
cylinder wall and seals are to be lubricated with
lithium-based grease.
PACKING REPLACEMENT
Caution: Relieve line pressure before loosening
gland nuts to avoid injury and/or equipment damage.
• Relieve line pressure.
• Close valve fully.
• Ensure line is empty. Flush the line, if needed.
For Cylinder operated valves:
• Switch off electrical supply to solenoid valve
and limit switches.
• Remove cylinder tubing and release the air
inside the cylinder.
• Disconnect piston rod from gate by removing
clevis bolts and nuts.
• Apply air slowly to bottom port of actuator so
that piston rod is retracted from the gate.
• Remove actuator assay from valve by removing
fasteners connecting yoke to valve body.
For Manual Valves:
• Close the valve fully.
• Disconnect stem from gate by removing clevis
bolts and nuts.
• Rotate handwheel anti-clockwise. Prevent stem
from rotating so that it is retracted fully from gate.
• If valves are supplied with bellows, ensure stem
does not rotate, as this will damage the bellows.
Servicing is recommended in a clean workplace
(such as instrument workshop).
• Remove gland nuts and gland.
• Remove old packing from packing chamber, one
layer at a time, using a screwdriver.
• Insert new packing one layer at a time. Stagger
the cut ends of each packing so that they meet
but do not line up. If a nitrile quad seal is
supplied, this must be placed as middle layer.
• Tap each packing ring firmly and evenly into the
chamber before installing the next ring. The ends
of each ring should meet but not overlap.
• Re-fit packing gland and gland nuts.
• Tighten gland nuts - finger-tight plus 1/2 turn.
• Apply air slowly for cylinder operated valves to
lower piston rod for fastening stem to gate.
• Lower stem by rotating handwheel clockwise.
Prevent stem from rotating and fasten stem to
gate with nuts and bolts.
If leakage is observed from the packing area after
installing the valve in pipeline and after valve is
pressurized or charged with media, tighten the
gland nuts just enough to stop leakage. Do not
over-tighten gland nuts.
SEAL REPLACEMENT
Caution: To avoid injury and/or equipment damage,
relieve line pressure before attempting to remove
valve from line. If valve is fitted with pneumatic
actuator, solenoid valve, limit switches or other
accessories, disconnect electrical and pneumatic
supply first.
• Relieve line pressure and close valve.
If necessary, flush the line.
• Remove valve from line by loosening flange
mounting bolts, studs and nuts.
• Remove actuator from valve.
• Remove gland and gland packing.
• Loosen fasteners and separate valve body halves.
• Inspect “Bore Liners” (Fig 755 valves) and
replace if necessary.
• Carefully remove gate from valve body.
• Remove damaged seal from valve body.
• Clean body halves. Place the new seal on one T H E VA A S F I G.. 755

body half and place the gate inside the seal. K N I F E G AT E VAA LV
L E
• Place second body half over first body half with
seal and gate in place. Finger-tighten fasteners.
• With valve in a vertical position, attach actuator
(manual or pneumatic).
• Mount actuator or handwheel and close gate
fully to ensure gate and seal are perfectly aligned.
• Tighten body fasteners in criss-cross manner
from bottom (flange side) to top (chest area) and
ensure gate is in full contact with seal.
• Disconnect actuator from valve.
• Install gland packing as described in “Packing
Replacement” instructions.
• Mount actuator onto valve. Operate /stroke the
valve a few times to test it for seat leakage.
BORE LINER REPLACEMENT
• Place valve body in a hydraulic press.
• Use a circular plate (with a diameter slightly less
than the bore liner’s OD) to remove bore liner by
pressing it from raised face side of valve body.
• Clean new bore liners and press onto valve body
from seal side.
• Ensure liner is fully pressed onto valve body.
• Repeat above process for second body half.
ACTUATORS
PNEUMATIC CYLINDER
The VAAS pneumatic cylinder actuator does not
require any routine maintenance. The FRP cylinder
is lubricated for life with a special coating on the
inside wall. However, if the actuator is dismantled,
lubricate the cylinder wall, piston seal and cylinder
seals according to instructions. Filtered dry instru-
ment-quality air (non-lubricated) must be used for
operation at the specified air supply pressure.
Refer to VAAS IOM – 94560/04/2001for details as the
