Type 122R Switching Valve

Introduction

Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation, adjustment,
maintenance, and parts information for the Type 122R
switching valve.

Description
The Type 122R valve (figure 1) is switching valve used for
on-off applications. The Type 122R valve has push-down-
to-open action.

Specifications
W3142

Specifications for the Type 122R valve are shown in table 1.

Figure 1. Type 122R Switching Valve

Installation
To avoid personal injury or equipment
damage caused by bursting of pressure-
retaining parts or explosion of accumulated
gas, do not exceed the pressure or
temperature limits in table 1.
1. The switching valve may be installed in any position.
Position the vent (key 29, figure 2) so that the vent opening
is facing downward. Protect the vent opening against the
entrance of moisture or any other material that could plug
the vent.
2. Apply pipe compound to male pipeline threads.
Connect piping to the body connections. Flow through
the valve must be the same as indicated by the flow
arrow on the body.
3. Connect the control pressure line to the 1/4-inch NPT
connection in the lower diaphragm case.
Adjustment
Refer to the nameplate (key 25, figure 2) to determine the
spring range. To change the spring setting, loosen the
locknut (key 30, figure 2), and rotate the adjusting screw
(key 7, figure 2). Rotating the adjusting screw clockwise
into the spring case (key 1, figure 2) increases the setting.
Rotating the adjusting screw counterclockwise decreases
the setting.

To avoid personal injury and equipment
damage caused by sudden release of
pressure or uncontrolled process fluid, isolate
the valve from all pressure, and release all
pressure from the valve body and diaphragm
casing before attempting maintenance.
7. Unscrew the hex nuts (key 4) from the stem (key 5).
Remove the spring guide, diaphragm head, diaphragm,

and 10).
8. Unscrew the self-tapping screws (key 16) from each
end of the diaphragm base. Remove the washers and
guide bushings (keys 14 and 15).
9. Remove the O-ring and back-up rings (keys 12 and
13) from the diaphragm end of the diaphragm case,
and remove the felt washers, flat washer, O-ring, and
back-up rings (keys 18, 17, 12 and 13) from the valve
end of the diaphragm casing.

12) into each end of the diaphragm case (key 2).
3. Install the washer (key 17) and three felt washers
(key 18) into the valve end of the diaphragm case.
Replace the guide bushing (key 15) in each end of the
diaphragm case.
4. Carefully insert the stem into the diaphragm case.
Attach the washers (key 14) with self-tapping screws
(key 16).
5. Install the seat ring (key 24) with a thin-wall
socket wrench.
Type 122R
6. Replace the body gasket and snap ring (keys 21
and 20). Secure the diaphragm case to the body with
the union nut (key 19).
7. Set the spring and spring seat (keys 3 and 31) onto
the spring guide. Attach the spring case with cap screws
and nuts (keys 26 and 4). Evenly tighten the cap screws
in a criss-cross pattern.
8. For Type 122R valves, install the valve disc assembly
(key 22) on the valve stem guide (key 32). Secure with
the pin (key 27). Install the machine screw (key 35) into
the valve disc assembly. Assemble the spring (key 34),
valve stem guide, and valve disc assembly into the body
cap (key 33). Install the body cap into the body (key 23).
9. Re-connect control piping to the control connection
