Intended use
The SAMSON Type3214 Valve balanced by a diaphragm is designed for use in
temperature control circuits in HVAC plants. The valve is primarily combined with the
following SAMSON actuators to form an electric control valve:
− Type3374 Electric Actuator
− Type3376 Electric Actuator
1)
− TypeSAM Electric Actuator
The valve with its actuator is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. oper-
ating pressure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the con-
trol valve is only used in operating conditions that meet the specications used for sizing the
valve at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the control valve in applications
or conditions other than those specied, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The control valve is not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits dened during sizing and by the technical data
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described
Qualications of operating personnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualied personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. Ac-
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to
