2.0 GCA ACTUATED ISOLATION VALVE – E30-016-XX-YY
2.1 INSTALLATION
2.1.1 MOUNTING ORIENTATION
The valve must be oriented so that the gate is not moving upwards while closing. Valve sizes up through 18"
shall be positioned within the limits shown below, and valve sizes 20" and 24" shall only be mounted in an upright
position so that the gate travels downward during closure (refer to Figure 1).
For ease of maintenance a two foot removable process line section may optionally be installed on either side of
the valve. Additionally, an area of approximately two feet around the EIV should be left clear to allow access to
EIV components for maintenance and rebuild procedures.
Installing a weather cover is strongly suggested for an outdoor installation of an EIV. This will help shield against
rain and precipitation.
