5 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The valve is delivered in a ready-to-use condition. In the course of storing and transporting
the valve, there are some guidelines that the user must follow in order to guarantee proper
functioning of the valve.
Storage:
The valve must be stored in the original packaging in closed rooms.
During storage, the valve must be protected from harmful influences (e.g. moisture or
dirt).
Valves with sealing elements made of organic materials (e.g. EPDM) must be stored
away from sunlight and UV light to prevent faster aging.
During storage the valve must be protected against mechanical damage. Special
attention must be paid to the protection of the connection and sealing surfaces.
To achieve short storage times, existing stocks should be used first (first in - first out).
In the case of long storage periods, the seals may have aged considerably, which can
lead to malfunctions.
Transport:
During transport, the same guidelines apply as for storage.
When transporting over long distances, the valve must be transported in a suitable
packaging to protect it from mechanical damage and corrosion.
For valves with a large nominal size, that cannot be moved manually, the appropriate
sling must be used.
Only use slings on the body or on the eyebolt of the valve, not on the internal parts.
