This brochure is designed to present the variety of options now available in AVK and Donkin’s range of gas gate valves so our customers can take informed decisions when selecting the most suitable product for the required application. Each product is designed, manufactured and individually tested to deliver long lasting solutions for our customers. AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 3 MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION QUALITY IS ESSENTIAL Main Valve Body and Bonnet: The primary AVK Donkin product is a Series 555 gate valve. The body and bonnet of this model are available in three materials. Steel – ASTM A216 WBC / BS EN 10213-2 GP240GH Steel construction is usually chosen to suit the higher pressure rating or strength requirements of the application. On applications such as a bridge crossing, steel construction should be considered where the connecting pipes are steel. Generally when steel pipelines are laid the valve material should be of an equal strength to the material of the pipe. Steel pipelines and valves normally have some type of cathodic protection when buried. 4 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Ductile Iron – EN 1563 Grade 450-10 Ductile iron construction is usually chosen to suit the superior ductility requirements of the application. On applications such as underground pipe-work where ground movement can be an issue, the superior ductility of the material can accommodate the higher stresses. Careful consideration should be given to corrosion protection when burying ductile iron due to the material characteristics. Cast Iron – EN 1561-Grade GJL 250 Cast Iron construction is the most commonly used material on gate valves. It can be successfully used in most applications when careful consideration is given to pipe stresses. Careful consideration should also be given to corrosion protection when burying cast iron due to the material characteristics. Valve component options: There are many options available for the components used in the valve construction depending on which application the product is being used for. Selecting the correct component materials for the application is important to ensure a long, trouble free working life for the valves used. Spindle The standard spindle material is carbon steel. If the application involves the use of corrosive gasses or if the valves are to be buried in aggressive soil conditions then Grade 303 stainless steel should be considered. All AVK spindles are manufactured with rolled threads to guarantee smooth running and maximum strength. O-rings All seals are available in two rubber materials to accommodate different mediums. For natural gas, Nitrile EN682 Grade G is used as standard whereas when used for manufactured gas, methane or more aggressive mediums then the seals can be changed to Viton. Normally a gas analysis should be considered against the O-ring material properties table to check the suitability of the seal material for the medium in the pipeline. Fastenings The valve fastenings are primarily used to connect the valve body and bonnet and are available in two options. Grade 8.8 black bolts to BS EN ISO 898 Part 1 are standard with an option of marine grade stainless steel Grade A4 to BS EN ISO 3506. On burying a valve, consideration must be given to the selection of bolt fastenings material and adequate corrosion protection. O-rings and fasteners used in the manufacturing process. AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 5 DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED SAFETY BUILT IN Double block and bleed is an essential safety feature requirement on most valve applications. This safety feature was originally achieved with the use of three separate valves where the space between the upstream and downstream valves was vented through a third valve. The Donkin Series 555 range of gate valves has incorporated the double block and bleed facility in one valve. The Series 555 valve has full double block and bleed facility. This is achieved with independent o-ring seals on the upstream and downstream sides of the door, a cavity all around the door and a vent from the cavity, between the seals. When maintenance is being carried out downstream of a double block and bleed valve, the engineer can work in confidence in the knowledge that the medium is isolated and cannot leak past the valve when it is closed and properly vented. Traditional block and bleed arrangement. Vent plug with cross drilled holes. 6 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Vent Plug The Series 555 vent plug is designed specifically with a cross drilled hole to allow safe removal when the block and bleed feature is used. After closure of the valve, the plug can be undone one and a half turns allowing the pressure in the cavity to be safely vented through the cross drilled hole. The plug can then be fully removed for an extended vent to be fitted. The sealing of the valve can also be tested when in-line using a pressure gauge. Once the cavity is vented the pressure in the cavity will remain at zero if the valve is closed and 100% sealed. Image showing soft seal and bleed point on a Series 555 double block and bleed valve. Series 555 valve on double block and bleed test at Donkin manufacturing facility in Chesterfield. Valve Testing Every gas valve is tested prior to leaving our facility. On a standard through bore test the force of the pressure on the upstream of the valve can assist the sealing of the downstream seat. To ensure the valves are tested to be bubble tight, regardless of the line pressure, AVK test the door seals at both high pressure (1.1 times the maximum working pressure) and at low pressure (6mbar) in each direction. This ensures the independence and leak tightness of each seat. The block and bleed port is tested at the same time to ensure no leakage over the upstream seat in either direction. With the door in the open position, each valve is also tested to 2.25 times the MOP for GIS/V7-1 or 1.5 times the MOP on non V7-1 valves. This is done to ensure the integrity of the valve body and shell. Single Block Option In applications where there is no requirement for double block and bleed AVK can offer a single block valve which is different in design to the Series 555 range. Instead of having both upstream and downstream seals, the single block valve relies on a metal door encapsulated in a double bonded, rubber coating which seals onto the full circumference of the valve bore. AVK can offer both flanged end (Series 06) and PE tailed versions (Series 36) of the single block valve both of which come coated with yellow fusion bonded epoxy coating. In compliance with EN12266-1 (cross referenced in GIS/V7-1) all the Series 555 valves are shell tested prior to any final coating.

AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 7 VALVE CONNECTIONS a VALVE TO SUIT ANY APPLICATION The AVK and Donkin gate valves can be offered with several connection options to accommodate the application. PE Tails The gate valve is available with PE Tails. The ability to fuse a valve directly into line offers a number of advantages when a valve is required in a PE underground pipeline. The benefits include: • No flanged joints below ground eliminating a potential leak path • Reduction on installation time • Fewer parts needed normally results in a lower unit cost • Less complex shape aids corrosion protection • PE pipe tails can be supplied in a number of options including PE80, PE100, peelable pipe, alternative SDR (wall thicknesses) and extra long tails according to the application and customer requirements. Donkin Series 555 Ductile Iron valve with PE tails. 8 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Assembly of the Series 555 with PE tails. Flanged End Several flange specification options are available. Our most common supply is PN16 to BS EN 1092 and ASA 150 to ANSI B16.5, BS 10:2009 Table D and others table drilling are available on request. Series 158 used on live connection. Weld Ends When the valve is required in a steel pipeline for high pressure application, the Series 555S can be welded directly into line for higher integrity. The weld preparation must be confirmed to accommodate the schedule of the pipe. Studded Ends On construction valves a studded flange option is standard, this product is only available in PN16 flange specification. The Series 158 valve has extra long studs to accommodate PE stub flanges. Series 555 steel valve with weld ends. Series 158 under pressure drilling valve with long studs. Note: The flange rating may not be the same as the MOP of the valve. Series 555 cast iron valve with PN16 flanges. AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 9 Corrosion Coating Options AVK’s gate valve range offers a number of coating options. The application and environment in which the valve is to be installed should determine which corrosion protection coating is selected and applied, either before or after installation. Red Zinc Phosphate Primed Coating If the end user intends to overcoat the valve to a specific specification, such as when the valve is installed as part of a pressure reduction station, then the valve can be supplied with just a primer coating. The coating process at the Donkin facility in Chesterfield, England. Right: The Series 555 valves with the standard red zinc phosphate primed coating. Far right: Series 158 valves with blue transit coating. Blue indicates that the material is cast iron. 10 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Blue Transit Coating (Series 555 and 555PE Cast Iron Valves) The blue transit coating is offered on cast iron gate valves with the option of flanged or PE tails. This sprayed coating is applied on top of the zinc phosphate primer. It is designed to protect the valves during handling storage and installation and should not be considered a suitable corrosion protection for buried applications. Black finish indicates that the material is ductile iron. Black High Build Twin Pack Epoxy (Series 555D Ductile Valves) The Donkin black twin pack epoxy coating is applied by spraying over the primed valves to provide a matt finish coating that is available either in 150μm or 300μm dry film thickness depending on customer requirements. Although this is a robust coating, AVK still recommend that the further corrosion protection may be necessary dependant upon the valve application. Series 555D ductile iron flanged valve. Grey finish indicates that the material is steel. Grey Chlorinated Rubber Micaceous Iron Oxide Coating (Series 555S Steel Valves) Donkin steel gate valves firstly receive a coating of zinc phosphate primer followed by the top coat of chlorinated rubber micaceous iron oxide which is spray applied after final pressure testing. The total dry film thickness of this coating is 75μm and is recommended as a transit coating similar to that offered on the cast iron valves. Steel pipelines and valves normally have some type of cathodic protection when buried. Series 555 large diameter steel valve. AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 11 CORROSION COATING OPTIONS AVK offers a range of factory applied corrosion protection coatings capable of protecting the valves in buried applications. Ranging from fusion bonded epoxy to polyurethane, suitable for extreme conditions. All of these coatings negate the need for further protection when buried. Care must be taken on installation as damage to any coating can effect its ability to protect the valve. PUR (Polyurethane) Coating Option (Series 555PE and 36/90 PE Tailed Valves The ultimate corrosion protection system to avoid galvanic corrosion is to keep the valves completely shielded from any contact with the surrounding soil. AVK can offer PE tailed valves with a fully encapsulating PUR coating with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm. Every PUR coated valve is holiday tested with an output voltage of 20,000v and with an approval criterion of zero pinholes. This is the coating most suitable for extreme environments. 12 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Blue Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating (Series 555 and 555PE Cast Iron Valves) AVK offers the Series 555 flanged and PE tailed valves with the option of marine grade stainless steel fasteners and spray applied fusion bonded epoxy coating to 250µm minimum thickness. This holiday free coating gives the product excellent corrosion resistance and durability. AVK recommend that this coating is suitable for buried conditions with no further protection as long as it is not damaged. Yellow Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating When the application does not require double block and bleed, AVK can offer a single block valve. This option is fusion bonded epoxy coated, both internally and externally according to DIN Standard 30677-2 and to a minimum dry film thickness of 250μm. This holiday free coating is suitable for buried applications without further corrosion protection as long as it is not damaged. THE DONKIN ASSET PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR VALVES As part of AVK’s commitment to provide our customers with solutions, not just products, we have developed the Donkin Asset Protection System for our market leading gas valve range. The system in its entirety has been designed to ensure that valve installations are quicker, of a consistently high quality, and are fully traceable and auditable. The system also improves the asset life and integrity of the valve whilst negating the need for additional protection systems. The full system is comprised of five main elements that deliver these benefits • A unique, factory applied, high performance Polyurethane coating, specially developed by AVK to withstand the rigors and challenges of underground installation. • Factory fitted PE tails. • The AVK Valve Installation Tracker to log, locate and audit the valve installation • Stainless steel spindle. • Stem cap. Our extensive research, experience and testing have given us the confidence to offer a warranty of 20 years* for valves which incorporate all the above features. GIS/V7-1 & GIS/PL3 Coated to BS EN 10290 Complies with T/SP/CW/6-2 Available ex-stock from Donkin FEATURES AND BENEFITS REDUCE VALVE WRAPPING - The Polyurethane coated, PE tailed, Series 555 can be installed without any further corrosion protection required, so it’s just a case of install, record and backfill. Valves with flanged ends have fully protected valve bodies but will still need to be wrapped on the connecting flanges to ensure that the connecting bolts are fully protected. This is a major saving on both models when compared to wrapping the whole valve. SPEED UP INSTALLATION - Fitting the Donkin Polyurethane coated, PE tailed valves increases the speed of installation by eliminating the time taken to bolt up the connecting flanges and fully wrap the installation. The estimated potential labour saving is up to 2 hours on a DN300 valve. When compared to field applied liquid coatings (which can take up to 24 hours to cure) there is a considerable time saving using this factory applied system. REDUCE POTENTIAL FOR UNDERGROUND LEAKS - The Donkin PE tailed Polyurethane coated valves are factory fitted and tested. The PE ends are directly electrofused to the PE pipeline, eliminating the need for bolted joints, removing the potential for leaks and increasing the asset integrity value of the pipeline. VALVE ASSET TRACKING - The AVK Valve Installation Tracker ensures installed valves are logged with a GPS location, photograph and installation record, providing easily accessible and accurate data to allow full auditing of installed works. *EXTENDED WARRANTY - When you purchase the Series 555 PE tailed valves with the Donkin Polyurethane coating, stainless steel spindle, stem cap and register with the AVK Valve Installation Tracker, AVK will offer a comprehensive 20 year warranty on the corrosion protection of the valve. APPROVED TO RECOGNISED STANDARDS - The Donkin Polyurethane coating offered by AVK has been used extensively by gas customers on mainland Europe since 1995. It is fully type tested to European standard EN 10290 and also complies with all the relevant parts of UK gas standard T/SP/CW/6-2. In addition we have undertaken several site specific tests to validate and approve the robustness of the coating. These high level tests assure total confidence in its ability to fully protect your buried assets. CONCLUSION - The Donkin Series 555, PE tailed, Polyurethane coated valve with stainless steel spindle, stem cap and the AVK Valve Installation Tracker will ensure a lower cost, high integrity buried valve installation. SIZE RANGE - PE ended version with pipe diameters from DN90-315. For flanged applications : We offer the Donkin Series 555 flanged valve with the Donkin Polyurethane coating and Installation Tracker. Note : Flanged connections still require additional corrosion protection. Size range : DN80-300 AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES | 13 FULL TRACEABILITY in every step Traceability is essential on valves and other key components in a gas system. Each gate valve has a unique serial number allocated after successful production testing. This gives complete traceability to the raw materials in the key components along with the manufacturing details. Keeping clear records of the serial number and location of valves assists rapid identification of a component should the need arise. The process in our factory includes: Valve door, body and bonnet marking Each door, body and bonnet has a raised cast number identifying the foundry, typically a four digit number, followed by five further numbers and letters which identify the date of the casting. This identification can be traced back to a test bar on the day of casting which records the details of the “alloy” content. The same number is recorded against the unique serial number of the valve when allocated after testing. Fasteners Each batch of fasteners are supplied with 3.1 test certificates and a unique material certificate number from the manufacturer who must hold a valid ISO 9001 certificate registered with a leading European accreditation body. A quantity of bolts according to ISO 2859-1 (BS 6001) are then preload tested for a 72 hour period allowing zero defects to accept the batch. The unique material certificate number is written on every box (typical content 100) and this number is then recorded against the unique valve serial number. This process ensures complete traceability throughout the whole manufacturing process. Permanent marking and attached aluminium tag with unique serial number. 14 | AVK DONKIN GATE VALVES Cast iron Series 555 valves being prepared for despatch. Note : Each valve has installation and maintenance instructions attached. Individual valve testing On successfully passing the production test each valve is then allocated a unique serial number. The serial number is permanently hard stamped on the connecting flanges or on the body-bonnet flange if the valve has PE tails. An aluminium tag with the same number is also attached to the valve and is designed to allow the end user to remove and attach to the surface box of the valve access system for easy reading. AVK strongly recommend that this same number is recorded on the valve installation records. Right: Data recording process. Far right: Raised cast number identifying foundry of origin. AVK VALVE INSTALLATION TRACKER Records AVK record and retain all of the traceable information for each valve. This includes materials, components and test data of each individual valve from the casting date of a component through to the successful testing of the valve. This information is kept on an electronic form to enable rapid and accurate access should the need arise. Finally, when each valve is despatched, the unique numbers are recorded against the date of despatch and the customer giving full traceability from raw material to customer warehouse. As previously stated, on installation adding the unique valve number and location to the site records completes the chain. AVK VALVE INSTALLATION TRACKER is the new Asset Management System* from AVK. Utilising a new, purpose built, user friendly mobile app & web portal. AVK valve installation tracker uses a QR code platform, designed to give full traceability of your assets providing the data on each installed valve, and gives the opportunity to review the quality of the installation. This, combined with a unique GPS pin location and a picture of each installation, ensures that you have a complete, accurate and auditable record of every valve installed. Furthermore, all the data recorded can be exported into standard data formats for integration into the clients existing mapping systems. *Patent pending.

Tel: 0845 080 9000 IN HOUSE DESIGN EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE The Valve Design Process: Donkin’s product design and innovation is carried out at our facility in Chesterfield and employs the most modern design techniques to ensure the value engineered quality solution is always used. Starting with the three-dimensional CAD system the designs are developed against the strict requirements of the specification. Using the power of modern computerised technology, when the design reaches the final draft stage it is checked with a finite element analysis to ensure stresses and strains within the assembly are within acceptable limits. When required, the flow characteristics can also be analysed with a fluid dynamic simulation. When the design is to be cast, a melt flow analysis will be run to ensure the casting process gives uniform properties and defect free castings. Prototype samples of castings are then X-rayed for defects. All these processes are followed each time a new design or significant change to a design is introduced. Castings are X-rayed from every foundry if our supply chain is changed at any time. The valve will then go through the full type test which often requires test to destruction. This test finally proves the theoretical strength and properties of a design according to the specification and the Pressure Equipment Directive. Donkin tests often exceed the requirements of the specification ensuring we fully understand the limits of the designs prior to any production run.

It can be used on valves above or below ground and can be retrofitted to valves already installed if required. Tee Keys AVK can supply a range of Tee Keys with either a 25mm or 28mm square drive, in various lengths to suit customer needs. False cap (stem cap) If a valve is used underground it is advisable to fit this with a false cap on the top of the spindle so that the termination is consistent no matter what the size of the valve. This allows all sizes of valve to be operated with the same Tee Key. Donkin has two options available :– 28mm square drive and 25mm square drive. Hand-wheels Donkin has a full range of hand wheels available for use with our gate valves when used for above ground applications. These vary in diameter to suit the size of the valve and are permanently attached with a fixing screw into the top of the valve spindle. 555 Valve Access System Adaptors The Donkin access system adaptor is a simple and cost effective device that allows the end user to provide easy access to the valve spindle from the surface. The device is an adaptor manufactured from recycled plastic that fits over the valve spindle and allows the end user to fit off-cuts of PE pipe to provide the down pipe (either 90mm or 125mm). This is a major cost saving for the end user as it recycles PE pipe ends that would otherwise be scrapped. Anti Tamper Device The Donkin anti tamper device has been designed for use with the Series 555 range of valves and is available for sizes up to DN200. It has been developed for circumstances where gate valves are fitted in any areas that are accessible to the public such as ring mains in apartment blocks. This device can be fitted to the valve spindle and allows the valve to be easily closed in an emergency but not reopened without the use of a Tee Key.
