Measures for preparation
Lifting the control valve
1. Attach one sling to each ange of the
body and to the rigging equipment (e.g.
hook) of the crane or forklift (see Fig.5).
2. If necessary, attach another sling to the
lifting eyelet on the actuator and to the
rigging equipment.
3. Carefully lift the control valve. Check
whether the lifting equipment and acces-
sories can bear the weight.
4. Move the control valve at an even pace
to the site of installation.
5. Install the valve into the pipeline (see sec-
tion5.2.3).
6. After installation in the pipeline, check
whether the anges are bolted tight and
the valve in the pipeline holds.
7. Remove slings.
We recommend using a hook with safety
latch (see Fig.5). The safety latch prevents
the slings from slipping during lifting and
transporting.
4.3 Storage
Risk of valve damage due to improper stor-
age.
− Observe storage instructions.
− Avoid long storage times.
− Contact SAMSON in case of different stor-
age conditions or long storage periods.
We recommend regularly checking the con-
trol valve and the prevailing storage condi-
tions during long storage periods.
Storage instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
inuences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of
less than 75%. In damp spaces, prevent
condensation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
