Place of installation
The valve should be easily accessible from at least one side.
Include a catwalk or similar in the planning in case of greater heights.
An electric crane or block and tackle should be provided, depending on
the weight.
Valve with flanges
After removal of the protective caps from the inlet and outlet sealing sur-
faces, valves with flanges are installed in the pipeline using gaskets and
bolts provided by the customer. Following the installation, check the
flange connection and the surface coating, in particular the area around
the contact surfaces of the flange joints. Damage to the coating caused
by transport or installation in the pipeline is to be treated with a suitable
coating system in order to restore the factory corrosion protection.
Valve with welded ends
Valves with welded ends are welded into the pipeline. Following the in-
stallation, check the welded connection and the surface coating. Dam-
age to the coating caused by transport or installation in the pipeline is to
be treated with a suitable coating system in order to restore the factory
corrosion protection.
Please note:
CAUTION
Mounting position
► Pipeline horizontal
► Actuator above the valve
► Pay attention to the flow direction arrows on the housing connections
In case of a different mounting position, special measures need to
be taken to support the weight of the actuator!
Forces from the pipeline must not be transmitted to the valve.
A straight section of pipeline with a length of at least 10x the nominal
size of the pipeline must be provided for in front of and behind the valve.
Built-in parts and branches are not permitted.
A bypass line is recommended with shut-off valves before and after the
valve.
It recommended to install a dirt trap / filter before the valve.
NOTICE!Following the installation of the valve, check that the installa-
tion conditions mentioned have been met.
Attachment of an actuator
The valve enables the attachment of different actuators. Various mount-
ing kits and couplings are available for this.
The actuator must be mounted according to the actuator manufacturer's
operating manual.
