4.3.2 Lifting the valve
To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Note
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch (see
Fig.4-1) to secure the slings from slip-
ping off the hook during lifting and
transporting.
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
− Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping over.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
− Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
− Make sure that the additional sling be-
tween the lashing point on the actuator
and rigging equipment (hook, shackle
etc.) does not bear any load when lifting
valves larger than NPS6. The sling only
protects the control valve from tilting
while being lifted. Before lifting the con-
trol valve, tighten the sling.
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.4-1).
2. If necessary, attach others sling to the
lashing point on the actuator and to the
rigging equipment.
