D4 Valve

Fisherr D4 Control Valve Assembly

The Fisher D4 control valve is a compact, rugged globe valve designed primarily for high-pressure throttling applications. This valve is ideal for use on pressure and flow control applications within the oil and gas production industry. The D4 is an excellent control valve for high-pressure separators, scrubbers, and other processing equipment. These valves are especially useful for either throttling or on/off control of liquids or gases which are gritty, sticky, or which have a tendency to build up on internal valve parts. If the control valve requires maintenance, the trim and packing can be maintained by removing the deep-bore hammer nut and lifting the actuator/bonnet assembly off the valve without disassembling the actuator.

Features
D Safer Bonnet / Valve Body Connection Unique design provides additional protection if disassembly of bonnet/valve body connection is inadvertently started while there is still pressure in the valve body. Pins mounted in the valve bonnet help ensure the bonnet disengages from the valve body as the hammer nut is removed, while the threads are still engaged. D Heavy-Duty GuidingMassive guiding (figures 2 and 3) positively aligns the valve plug in the seat ring for reliable service. The screwed-in seat ring completely encloses the seat ring gasket. D Live-loaded Packing SystemThe packing system provides an improved stem seal to help prevent the loss of valuable or hazardous process fluids or gases. It features Fisher ENVIRO-SEALt packing technology to provide reduced packing maintenance.

Features (continued)
D Severe Service Capability with Tungsten Carbide TrimD4 valves are available with tungsten carbide trim for erosive service. This trim is designed specifically for severe service applications in the oil and gas industry. Durable tungsten carbide trim may benefit your application by wearing better and lasting longer. D Easy InstallationCompact design allows installation where space is a premium. Screwed valve bodies feature compact face-to-face dimensions while flanged valve bodies conform to ISA-75 standards for maximum versatility. D Easy MaintenanceHammer nut bonnet/body joint allows repair or maintenance with a minimum of tools, without removing the valve body from the piping system. Seat ring can be removed with the same service tools used with a Fisher D valve. D Integral Bonnet Flange Bonnet has an integral flange that accepts hammer nut force when making the bonnet-to-body connection. There are no snap rings subject to possible failure in sour service or in atmospheric corrosion. D Standard Trim for Throttling or On-Off Service Micro-Form trim is standard for throttling or on-off service at no extra cost. D Application FlexibilityChoices of port diameters up to 31.8 mm (1.25 inches), end connections, and trim materials suit these valves to many applications, including sour service.
