1 Small valves
(as shown at right)
may be lifted or carried by
the handwheel without
damage to the valve.
2 Larger valves should be
lifted by using the lifting
lugs provided, or by looping
a chain around bonnet as
shown at right.
3 Never lift larger valves
by the handwheel.
Attempts to lift a large or
heavy valve in this fashion
can result in injury to
personnel and damage to
valve and property.
4 During installation,
orient the valve so that the
preferred pressure end will
be toward the higher
pressure, when the valve
is closed.
5 This will provide longer
valve life and easier
operation.
6 The words preferred
pressure end have been
abbreviated to
“Pref. Pres. End”
and can be found stamped
on one end connection.
This stamping is marked
with red paint.
7 When possible, ORBIT
valves should be installed
with the bonnet in a
vertical position.
When repairs are necessary,
consult your ORBIT
representative for details
on how to repair an ORBIT
valve without removing it
from the line.
8 ORBIT
can be bolted into the line
using standard studs and
nuts.
See pages 9 and 10 for more
information.
