SUBJECT:
TELECON WITH DRESSER INDUSTRIES - RE:
SAFETY VALVE RELEASE NUT / COTTER' PIN I spoke today with the following individuals at Dresser Consolidated Industries:
1 Terry Barnes, Nuclear Products Field Specialist
]
Roland Huffman, Senior Product Engineer i
i Both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Huffman confirmed that their instructions to valve owners have been changed to indicate that there should be a " minimum of 4
1/16-inch" clearance between the release nut and the lifting lever.
The instruction also includes the admonition to verify that the 1/16-inch exists.
The earlier inclusion of "1/8-inch" in the phrase "1/16 to 1/8 inch" for this clearance was unnecessary.
4 They both also indicated that Section III of the ASME B&PV Code does not i
require lifting levers to be installed, for use in demonstrating that the valve is not stuck closed, because bench testing these valves adequately demonstrates their operability.
