| ENS 54238 | 23 August 2019 05:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(i), Failure to Comply or Defect | Part 21 Notification - Loose Butterfly Valve Taper Pins | Fisher Controls issued FIN 2019-01 for all Fisher type 7600, 7700, 7800, 9100, 9200, and 9500 series butterfly valves that use taper pins to secure the valve shaft to the valve disk. This does not apply to valve constructions that use straight pins or grooved straight pins. Fisher was notified on June 25, 2019 of one instance where a taper pin became loose due to incorrect installation within the valve. Fisher recommends the owners of these valve assemblies perform normal maintenance at regular intervals in order to inspect the valve assembly and replace worn, aged, and damaged parts, as well as verifying that the taper pins are correctly installed and reset them if necessary.

| ENS 53077 | 28 September 2017 06:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(i), Failure to Comply or Defect | Part 21 Report - Corrective Action for Fisher Information Notice 2015-01 Insufficient | The following is a synopsis of information received via E-mail: Fisher Information Notice (FIN) 2015-01 was published 3/18/2015 regarding Fisher Type 461 valve plug machining. FIN 2015-01 details an issue in which a valve plug was returned to Fisher after the customer discovered a machining error was present in the plug. This Type 461 valve plug is intended to have a groove machined across the seating surface to provide a controlled leak rate through the valve when the plug is on the seat. It has been determined that the corrective action implemented in association with FIN 2015-01 was insufficient to ensure accurate machining and to prevent reoccurrence of this issue. This Part 21 Notification (issued as FIN 2017-05) applies to Type 461 Plugs sold or reworked since the publication date of FIN 2015-01. Specifically this notification applies to assembly item number 25A0413X162 that Fisher Controls International LLC (Fisher) supplied to Florida Power and Light (FPL) St. Lucie per FPL Order 2363439 (Fisher Order Number 025-X204270) and to item number 29A7841X052 that Fisher supplied to Entergy Waterford 3 per Entergy Order 10297987 (Fisher Order Number 026N-187174). | ||

| ENS 49581 | 7 November 2013 06:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(i), Failure to Comply or Defect | Part 21 Report - Improper Dedication of Actuator Parts | The following information was received via fax: Equipment affected by this information notice: Items subject to this Fisher Information Notice (FIN) were provided to Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC) via Fisher Order Number 004-X012140579, Items 25, 25A, 25B, and 25C (Westinghouse PO# 4500280610). The valves included Type 657NS2 Size 80 Actuators (Equipment). The equipment is identified by Fisher Serial Numbers 19073487, 19073488, 19073489, and 19073490 (Westinghouse Tag Numbers APP-PXS-PL-V014A, APP-PXS-PL-V014B, APP-PXS-PL-V015A, and APP-PXS-PL-V015B). Purpose: The purpose of this FIN is to alert WEC that as of 07 November 2013, Fisher Controls International LLC (Fisher) became aware of a situation which may affect the performance of the Equipment, including their safety-related function. Fisher is informing WEC of this circumstance in accordance with Section 21.21 (b) of 10 CFR 21. Applicability: This FIN applies only to the subject equipment supplied by Fisher to WEC via the aforementioned order. Discussion: Fisher has determined that the subject valves were provided with actuator parts that had not been properly processed per active valve requirements. Specifically, Fisher provided commercial grade parts instead of commercial grade dedicated items. The parts are identified per Fisher Type III drawing GE40372, find numbers 118, 121, and 122. Action Required: Fisher will support WEC in performing the disassembly and replacement of these parts, at no cost to WEC, on the installed actuators. Arrangements will be made with WEC to retrofit the correctly processed and dedicated parts on the subject serial numbers. In addition, a Corrective Action Request (CAR 1661) has been initiated by Fisher to prevent reoccurrence of this issue. 10 CFR 21 Implications: Fisher requests that the recipient of this notice review it and take appropriate action in accordance with 10 CFR 21.
