Mounting and start-up
5 Mounting and start-up
SAMSON valves are delivered ready for
use. In special cases, the valve and actuator
are delivered separately and must be assem-
bled on site. The procedure to mount and
start up the valve are described in the follow-
ing.
Risk of valve damage due to excessively high
or low tightening torques.
Observe the specied torques on tightening
control valve components. Excessively tight-
ened torques lead to parts wearing out
quicker. Parts that are too loose may cause
leakage.
Observe the specied tightening torques
(uAB0100).
Risk of valve damage due to the use of un-
suitable tools.
Only use tools approved by SAMSON
(uAB0100).
5.1 Mounting the actuator onto
the valve
Proceed as described in the actuator docu-
mentation if the valve and actuator have not
been assembled by SAMSON.
Versions with V-port plug
In mixing valves in sizes larger than DN25,
the bottom plug is designed as V-port plug.
Each V-port plug has three V-shaped ports.
Depending on the valve size, the size of the
symmetrically arranged V-shaped ports var-
ies. The process medium in the valve ows
through the V-shaped ports as soon as the
plug is lifted out of the seat.
1. Before mounting the actuator, determine
which V-shaped port is uncovered rst
when the plug is lifted out of the bottom
seat.
Usually, this is the largest V‑shaped port.
2. On mounting the actuator, make sure
that the V-shaped port uncovered rst
faces toward the valve outlet (AB) at the
side.
Medium ow obstructed due to incorrect
installation of the V‑port plug.
To achieve the best ow conditions inside the
valve, the V‑port plug must always be
installed with the largest port facing toward
the valve outlet.
Make sure the V‑port plug is installed cor-
rectly.
